I believe John deserved to win and that he could beat the stuffing out of Kelly Monaco in a legit dance off, however I’m all for giving him a helping hand by kidnapping her the day of the contest, stuffing her in a paper bad and telling her the only way out is to act. ---

All I ask is that she acts interested. Or that I’m there. ---

No you don’t. She’ll just whine about how _hard_ she’s working and what a stretch it is, and she won’t be talking about what you want her to be talking about. One of my pet peeves was she never made dancing seem like fun! CJ ---

ABC will make a fortune off this controversy. Though I didn’t watch a single episode, Evander Holyfield is still my man. ---

I think he should tell her, "the only way out is to return to your [former career".](http://www.tweety.dk/desktop_girls/images/Kelly_Monaco_73101111817PM337_jpg.jpg) YOWZA!!! 😃 And yes, she was a former model… and playmate.
