DWTS' Melissa: Born to Dance!

March 24, 2009


Melissa Rycroft got her first taste of reality TV stardom long before getting dumped by Jason Mesnick on The Bachelor, then turning heads with partner Tony Dovolani on Dancing With The Stars.

Texas native Melissa, 26, strutted her stuff with pro football's famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders during 2006/2007, and appeared in that season of the CMT network series Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.

But even before her reality TV debut, Melissa was the hottest hoofer at her high school. In fact, she was even First Lieutenant of the drill team during her 2001 senior year at Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, Texas. Check out Star's exclusive pics below!

JASON IS A REAL JERK,AND DOES NOT DESERVE ANY OTHER PERSON IN HIS LIFE EITHER! I WOULD HAVE NOT EVER WATCHED THE SHOW HAD I KNOWN THAT WHAT SEEMED TO BE A NICE GUY TURNED OUT TO BE ANYTHI NG BUT NICE! I HOPE THE PEOPLE ON THE BACHELOR WHO PICK THE MEN AND WOMEN CHECKS OUT THEIR FULL BACKGROUND IN THE FUTURE

ABC saw the perfect opportunity to up the ratings for DWTS by placing Melissa on the show as a fill-in for one the dancers. They knew Americans felt Melissa got a bum deal and the viewing public will sympathize with her and watch the show. As long as the viewers watch the show the rating goes up. It did not matter to ABC if Melissa was a professional dancer or not. Everybody knows that the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are a professional dance troupe. They travel all over the world performing. Let's be real, do you think Melissa was ready to be stepmommy after only a couple of months with bachelor Bob. By the time the show aired, Melissa already had new boyfriend, so there was not love lost.

I really don't care about this girl ...she went on the Bachelor and didn't win so why does that make her like-able or even news worthy? I just don't get it

Hey moxy. I read some more of your drivvle. You're the embarassment for all women and a bimbo. You make no sense.Your really kind of a vile person.
-- Jack

Most of you are real idiots. She's drop-dead gorgeous and a nice person. Do you actually know that she's a whore, Moxy. You are a complete jack-ass. You're probably a dog who seems to be jealous of someone like here. You sound like an angry woman. I can barely read what you idiots write. Isent, isn't a word, Camille. I'm surprized you can spell your name. See ya, dummies.

Melissa is such a fake. Fake smile...fake "happy" personality...I truly believe that her parents know the real Melissa.

I think Jason MET the real Melissa and wanted out as quickly as he could.

Here's hoping Melissa gets booted off of DWTS next!


-- Lois

She deserves this fame and to stick it to Jason. If you r sick of her then stop reading bout her!
-- Anonymous

why are you people complaining about her being on the show, or even not on the "D" List?? Everyone on the show is a hasbeen and Trista from The Bachelor was on before. Get a life, she seems really nice unlike you losers.
