Clyde Drexler & Elena Grinenko - Season 4 - Page 2

I almost forgot about him. He seemed awkward and hope he has time to absorb the judges comments and improve. I would like to seem such a tall man do well on the dance floor. He and Laila Ali would be a great pair.

I think he looked nervous and, as Carrie Ann said, a little uncomfortable with his height, in this situation. Hopefully, he'll relax and they'll improve because he has so much charisma.

Why on earth did they team him up with one of the smaller women? Odd match to me and they didn't fit together at all. She has been pretty unlucky with her partners. Either they have no talent at all, or are nearly 7 ft. tall. Although, overall he wasn't that bad, but seemed very uncomfortable. He appears to be a really nice, easy going guy and I liked him.

I have fond memories of Clyde too.

Poor guy can't dance, but I may be tuning in just to catch a glimpse.

I enjoyed Clyde last night even though his dancing wasn't the greatest.
I hope he is around a few more weeks.
I wish they would have given him a taller partner-I think he would have been more comfortable.

I'm trying to think of what pro women I've seen that would be tall enough. They don't give height on America's Ballroom Challenge, and all the couples are evenly matched there as far as height, so its hard to say. I'm sure there is someone, but I don't know who she would be, all the ones I've ever seen on DWTS are tiny.

I really really hope that Clyde glides on the dance floor as well as he did on the basketball court. GO CLYDE!!!!

I want to see Clyde Drexler win this but it will be hard, with the huge difference in size with him and his partner.

It really is too bad that his partner is so much shorter, but as has been said, all the couples seem to face some special challenge(s). I think his personality alone will keep him around for a little while.

I felt bad for Clyde last night too when having to use the frame contraption, I have had shoulder problems, and that must have been a killer! His past shoulder injury may play a bigger role than his height in the end.

I love his smile though, and hope he is not the first to go!
