DWTS Update Week 3

I've uploaded Esther's performance from last night's episode of Dancing with the Stars. Esther and dance partner Brendon danced the Paso to Lady Gaga's Papparzzi and they scored a total of 24 which put them equal FIRST on the leader board. Congratulations, Esther and Brendon. They are also safe to enter the next round. Also, please VOTE for Esther, especially if your in Australia. She needs half of the audience vote to keep her on Dancing with the Stars. So please call 1902 55 77 10 or text "ESTHER" to 19 17 77! Let's get her through to the next stage!!!



Also, in the gallery are promotional stills and live in the studio photo shots from Dancing with the Stars. They are great shots but I have to say my favourite is Esther and Brandon backstage. You can really tell they are great friends and it really shows off on the dance floor to just as the judges told them. I can't wait to see what they have installed for us in the future!

No Updates

So sorry there have been no updates for nearly a week but as it's currently summer here in the U.S. I've been busy and now I'm on holidays in Los Angeles for a few days so I really do apologise that I've been absent but I will have time tonight to post a few new things and also do updates for the new episode of Dancing with the Stars which is on again tonight. Everything will be back to normal by the end of the week when I return from holidays but until then it's all very limited. Thanks for the patience and being so great! In the meanwhile there have been a few articles about Esther's weight. Here's what she had to say on the issue... (We are behind Esther 100% and don't believe any of the negative commentary is right especially with her schedule and body frame)

HOME And Away actor Esther Anderson admits she's lost weight as a result of her six-hour daily training schedule with partner Brendon Midson on reality show Dancing With The Stars. The 31-year-old says she is eating as much as she can after online forums criticised her for looking "painfully thin" on the celebrity dancing show.

"I've just got to eat so much as I've never exercised this much in my life," she told The Sunday Telegraph. "I was tiny before I began dancing, so I have to try to eat as much as I can so I don't drop too much weight." Anderson's comments come after viewers took to the internet to voice concerns over her tiny frame last week.

The once full-figured Home And Away actress and Gold Logie nominee stunned fans and network individuals when she appeared on last Sunday's show with her rib cage and her ultra-lean arms showing. "There were calls to the network after her appearance on Sunday because she looked so thin on air in the outfit she wore, and it was noted here as well," the source said.

But a Seven spokeswoman said Anderson was a healthy eater with an "amazing metabolism" who had pushed herself very hard with six to eight hours a day of dance practice on top of her Home And Away role, which ran to 14 hours on some days. "She has a full-time workload with Home And Away in addition to gruelling rehearsals for Dancing With The Stars," the spokeswoman said.

"Everyone who takes on Dancing experiences some changes in their body shape and that's due to the incredibly athletic effort they have to put into preparation and performance. "We have the greatest admiration for her."

Another morning after Dancing with the Stars and we are rolling int he updates. We have new photos, videos, screen captures plus a new interview that Esther did back in April for a Sydney magazine. It gives great details into Esther's career, her hopes and ambitions plus some of her travels over the years. It's an interesting read. Also, please VOTE for Esther, especially if your in Australia. She needs half of the audience vote to keep her on Dancing with the Stars. So please call 1902 55 77 10 or text "ESTHER" to 19 17 77! Let's get her through to the next stage!!!


Well, great news! Esther has made it to the next round of Dancing with the Stars. Congratulations, Esther. Esther and her dance partner Brendon did a stellar performance of the Tango which Esther was very excited to tackle and she scored a total of 21 with 7's from all the judges. She looked amazing in a emerald green costume and took to the floor like a natural. I've added screen captures to the gallery. It's look like Esther also had some support in the audience this week with her mum Rhonda and sister Lara attending to watch.



{Later:} Clips from week 2 of Dancing with the Stars is now on our YouTube channel. Unfortunately, there were some time restrictions so I could only clip Esther's main introduction package and dance with her final score. I'll try and get the show introduction and elimination panel up tomorrow so you can all see it too. Hope you enjoy watching, Esther's dance. Keep voting!
