He plays Brot Monroe on “All My Children.” He served our county proud in the Iraq War. While serving the war, he was hurt. Yet, this did not stop him from trying to motivate others. His name is JR Martinez, he is a hero, a soap hunk and now the best choice to win “Dancing With The Stars.”
Tonight, he made his premier on “Dancing With The Stars.” Millions of his loyal fans stood behind him, not necessarily watching his live performance (since many are still boycotting ABC), but they still stood behind him by reading his reviews and the tweets from others of his performances, as they continue to call in their votes for the star. Have no worries, they will see and enjoy his performances once they arrive online.
ABC knew that he had many loyal fans, too. They classified JR as being one of the most anticipated dancer of the season. The reason was because the soapers and, yes, the veterans wanted to see him dance. They knew this could possibly help raise their ratings. Yet, what ABC still may not realize is that many soap fans are still boycotting “Dancing With the Stars” in spite of how they feel about JR. Yes, they want JR to win and the will do what they can to help him win. Yet, they will do this without helping ABC get any rise in their ratings.
