Kendra Wilkinson Thinks People Take DWTS Too Seriously

Kendra Wilkinson, former Playboy bunny and star of her own reality show, is one of the contestants on Dancing with the Stars this season. Over the weekend, while hosting a party in Las Vegas, she admitted that her nerves got the best of her during her first performance. She believes that treating the show as a club would help her feel totally comfortable when dancing.

“I need to think, this is the club and I need to go out there and show what I really got.”

She also constantly reminds herself that she and all the other star contestants will never be professional ballrooms dancers.

“I hate how everyone is taking this so serious. People just need to relax and look at it as entertainment, as funny, as fun. Don’t look at it like we’re supposed to be pros.”

In addition to her nerves, Wilkinson was also unprepared for getting “dolled up” for performances.

“I lived at the Playboy Mansion, and I was dolled up every now and then. This is like intense dolled up, blue eyeshadow and hair out to outer space. I didn’t even recognize myself on TV. I was like, who is that? I looked like a mermaid.”

While it’s true that the contestants won’t go on to become professional dancers, Kendra shouldn’t have such a nonchalant attitude about the experience. The whole point of the show is that the stars get all dressed up and dance with professionals. If they didn’t take it seriously and didn’t at least try to act like real dancers, what would be the point? Hopefully for her sake, these comments don’t affect the votes she receives.
