Yes, they have it here too! I didn't know "Dancing with the Stars" was that popular. Surprisingly, the Georgian version is remarkably similar to the US version. For a moment, when I heard the theme music, I almost felt as if I was home... And then I heard rapid Georgian being spoken. Reality set in. The great thing about it being similar to the US version, is that I had a really good idea of what was going on! :)
Some similarities of the shows:
-Theme music
-Skimpy costumes of the girls
-There's still one celebrity who's a significantly older man than all the other contestants (Buzz Aldrin comes to mind)
-The co-hosts are one man and one woman
-The musicians have really bad singers
-They dance to American music
-Same set
-Same layout of the show: introduce everyone, name the first pair to dance, show their week of practicing the dance, dance, review from the judges, go backstage for a mini interview, get the scores.... etc
Some differences:
-There are no commercials! (Improvement! - That seems to be a common theme in Georgian TV. Few commercials during the show.)
-Obviously they speak Georgian, not English. Except one of the judges lives in the US. He will throw out random English phrases. I like hearing his critiques :)
-They added a Georgian National Folk dance. That was cool to watch.
Strangely enough, after watching a little bit of the show tonight, I feel a little less out of the loop. I mean for everyone back. It's as if EVERYONE I know watches the show. Actually, I only know a handful of people who watch it. It's just sometime that mentally connects me to home.
If any of you are interested, I found a clip of the intro for the Georgian version. Just have a little looksy!
