Woz survives again on 'Dancing With the Stars'

this is amazingness

Steve is a personal friend and one of the most decent, kind people I have ever known. If anyone ever deserved to win Dancing (and, I have been a fan of that show for two years, now), it is Steve. He could simply walk on stage and deserve the votes of every viewer. I'm an engineer and want you to understand that the floppy disk drive, the person P.C. hard drive, heck, the personal computer itself, wouldn't exist without the Steve's – Wozniak and Jobs. So... get on line and vote, Vote, VOTE for Steve.

This is not the first time a total incompetent has advanced. The stupid idea of letting "fans" have 50% of the vote is ridiculas. It makes a sham out of the "contest". Several more qualified dancers have been sent home, talent should be more important. It should not be a game, so far the most talented have not won, as itshould be.

Really? It's Dancing W/ the Stars. Who cares. We shouldn't be debating this, just enjoy it.

Go Steve! You are out there for the rest of us. Not everyone in this world fits the "Barbie and Ken" image. You are out there giving your best, and we love you for it. There are so many "Reality" shows out there that choose a "looser" for the week so that we can watch them go home all so sad or in tears. Steve, you are a winner, having a great time even as those professional judges try to cut you down as they have done to so many other people. It is so wonderful to see you enjoying yourself. Go Woz! You have my vote, and apparently the vote of thousands of others. America is speaking and they are voting "Woz – Woz – Woz"

I approve, Its the entertainment value that matters.

It IS entertainment not a real dance competition. GO WOZ!!! This show hasn't been this much fun in ages.

Having had a lot of dance training, I pain for 'Woz', but on the other hand he is showing more spirit, and competitive drive than at least half of the others. The man is delightful and certainly put an enormous amount of effort into the routines. Hopefully, he will be recognized at some point for his level of improvement. Not everyne can start late, and having the advantage of much dance training, as the fill in girl and look like a pro. Woz started early, knew nothing about dance, worked hard, and having little ability in this area, had to rely on the fairness of the people – and the people responded. You see, folks, we recognize just how many ringers you have had, and we really cheer for the man who is making Dancing With The Stars fun to watch. Go, Woz, and continue to charm the rest of us.

Amazing grace, amazing footwork - the next step, a suprise
Why the insults ?

Let the man dance, da#@it!!

I think Gates and Woz should have an epic dance-off.

Go Steve! Good for you...

Cute article Lisa, the last I'd expect in Science Tech.....
goes to show even nerds/geeks know how to have fun!

Maybe , just maybe, he will develope a nice program to hook up to the WII to learn the tango, ballroom dancing..etc....now that would be really cute!

Mike;

This is a dance contest not an humanitarian or enginerring compitition.

Would you feel the same if Denise Richards took home an engineering award based on her design form?????

Common fair is fair

Really Allan? I mean really? Its dancing with the stars, not the olympics. I think we abandoned any last semblance of serious competition when Steve-O showed up. Its a tv show, and most of its popularity comes from audience participation, voting for their favorites. That is the point of the show. Arguing that the point of the show is not fair is like saying that basketball is unfair because tall people have an advantage, and thus the hoop should be closer to the ground. Its a giant popularity contest with some dancing thrown in. Thats about it. If 'talent' were the same issue it would be so you think you could dance (or whatever the idol clone for dancing was). If you only care about talent, watch that show. Dancing the stars is entertainment first and contest... like 5th.

And to be honest, I am of the opinion dancing is good dancing when you have fun doing it. Wozniak for all his technical deficiencies (and boy are they many) was/is having fun out there. There are plenty of rigid if more 'talented' people up there that deserve to go before he does, because they are not enjoying the dancing and taking it far too seriously.

Allan, you take this way too seriously. It's a TV show intended to show celebrities outside of their comfort zone. Some shine, some entertain, and some stumble. Woz is in the middle category, so fans vote to keep him around. This ain't the Olympics.

Steve is not a great dancer but he is a great sport. He's self deprecating but a very likable guy. Some people on these reality shows are talentless and arrogant (Omarosa are you listening?) and regardless of how well they "perform" I will not vote for them.

Appeal and determination goes a long way on this show. The contestants are taken out of their element and try to do something that is phsyically tasking and mentally challenging to say the least. Lawrence Taylor, with all his past problems, is putting everything he has into learning these dances. He's not great by any stretch of the imagination, but he is trying and that is what really matters to me.

Go Steve, L.T. and all the others. I wish I could get the instruction from a professional then have the chance to compete like this. I think its great.

[...] scorn, and general lack of grace or terpsichorial skill are drawbacks? Fuggedabout it. You cannot stop the Woz, you can only hope to contain him: the second-week results from Dancing With The Stars were a surprise for Steve Wozniak and his [...]

Why is this a science headline? This should be in entertainment. It has nothing at all to do with science.
"News" stories like this is why journalism is losing credibility and respect. Thanks for helping make America stupider, CNN.

Oh my god.

The guy is a train wreck out there, but he is obviously enjoying himself. I like seeing people having fun, and am glad he is still on the show.
However... a little of him goes a long way. Soon, he will work his Segway into a routine, like Adam Carolla and his bicycle.
Marc has the perfect comment, and sums it up nicely.
