DANCING WITH THE STARS

07.13.09 I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS DIDN’T WORK OUT BETTER

raffa-gosensJessica Raffa, the pro dancer paired with blind paralympian Gerrard Gosens on Australia’s “Dancing with the Stars,” was rushed to the hospital for a CAT scan and an MRI after Gossen dropped her during rehearsal.  Probably because — oh, I don’t know — HE’S BLIND.

They were rehearsing a rumba routine when Gosens missed his position and dropped Raffa, causing her to fall heavily to the floor, a Seven spokesperson said yesterday.  While they were “still a little shaken”, the pair yesterday left for Melbourne for further rehearsals ahead of Sunday night’s live performance.

Gosens last week told the Courier-Mail of his admiration for Raffa, but they have argued over recent weeks.  “I don’t know why you lashed out,” an obviously angry Raffa told Gosens in footage shown on last Sunday’s show. “I didn’t lash out,” a fuming Gosens replied.

Listen, I’m all for the empowerment of disabled people; it’s part of the reason why I sleep with so many amputees.  Maybe asking a blind man to lift someone in the air based solely on timing and feel is the wrong thing to do.  He’s much more suited for “Australia’s Next Top Heavy Machinery Operator.”
