CONGRATULATIONS CHRISSY!!

Personally, as an avid supporter of yours, I feel you deserved to win ... an UNBEATABLE 106 and a second score of 40 - THATS JUST CRAZY!! CONGRATS!!

I'm so happy you got this far and so proud of you (which is strange as I don't know you teehee) but you've been absolutely amazing through out the competition and so amazing to watch week in - week out!! Your fresh faced and upbeat personality is one of a kind and I'm gonna miss seeing you and the fabulous Trenno strut your way to the top of the leader board on a Tuesday night!!

Congrats Bathie and Trenno ... the real sex bombs ... I mean winners

Love Emma
xoxo

Hey guys!

Just a Chris supporter! Being a Ballroom Dancer myself, I hav to say- Chris mate u r exceptional!
I have totally enjoyed watching you every tuesday! Your a natural talent, and thought you should know that all of us dancers out here, really appreciate the talent you have!
 
Cogratulations Chris! Win or runner up, your the Dancing with the Stars Winner in our eyes!
Your a champ!

Played hard, won the Norm Smith medal but robbed by the umpire.
 
Great effort just the same.
 
PS: Go Pies!!!!!!!!!!!

Dearest Christine Bathie,
 
Amazing. Congratulations to Ada, but you & Trenno are the ones that we think will be remembered for that show stopping, desk dancing and perfect scoring 'freestyle'!  Number one last night to the judges and number one to your fans as well.
 
We'll leave the last words to young Animation Division roustabout Jimbo.  In the early hours of this morning, he knelt to give works cat Sooty one last saucer of milk and then looked at the now cold boilers and silent animation presses. "She made me happy.. Go Bathie Go.." Jimbo whispered. Then, as a single tear glistened on his cheek, he vanished into the night.
 
What a fantastic 10 weeks - endless congratulations to you & Trenno and our best wishes to Darcy & Denis.  The Division's last animation effort is attached in honour of a very special 'Dancing Newsreader'.  click here to view a 1.3mb windows media file

TO CHRIS (AND FAMILY) AND TRENTON

YOU WERE THE WINNER IN MY EYES
 
WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE YOU PUT IN TONIGHT.  YOU SHOULD HAVE WON?  YOU WERE WONDERFUL AND ALL MY FAMILY THOUGHT YOU SHOULD HAVE WON. HOPE YOUR LITTLE BOY UNDERSTANDS AND WAS NOT TO UPSET LIKE I AM, ALL THE BEST THE REST OF YOUR FUTURE, AND COME NEXT YEAR I AM VOTING FOR YOU FOR THE GOLD LOGIE.

CHRISSIE QLD


ABSOLUTELY SUPER-DUPER CHRIS!!
You are absolutely fabulous!
Another PERFECT SCORE! What more could we ask for?
Where are all those Yummy Mummy's SMS-ing when you needed them.
Your tops in my book and the winner by far.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH YOU AND "TRENO".
 
Just one of your army of Mummy Fans !!!!!

Dear Chris and Trenno,

We've been watching all series, and without being unfair to Ada and Aric we
think YOU WERE ROBBED!  Commiserations!  But thank you for a really
entertaining, creative and elegant look at something we would not have given
a second thought to before (dancing).

Cheers (and we hope you don't stop there - the World Championships
beckon...),

Indrani and Ana
DEAR CHRIS,

I think you are an inspiration to us all, and i have loved watching you every week on Dancing With The Stars, driving my housemates crazy by cheering you on very, very loudly and demanding the TV for the duration of the show! You have been amazing from the beginning, it's hard to believe you never danced before the series! To have been runner-up is an incredible achievement; the votes must have been very close, and you should be so proud. It's great to see a newsreader and a mother let her hair down and boogie on the dance floor.

You have won a lot of fans, and i really enjoyed your beautiful routines and your great energy and bubbly personality.

Promise to check in on the late news regularly as Bathie Army supporter!

Good luck for the future and thanks for entertaining us all season!

Sincerely,

Jane

Chris, you were awesome tonight. the freestyle dance was  fantastic. it was the best of all the series. you won tonight.
 
from a fan in Newcastle


Chris, You were robbed and the outright best dancer by far – but you don’t need to be the winner of the show to be the winner. We all know you deserved to win and hope you know it too. Congratulations – you have been wonderful to watch and Trenton, you are so great and such a wonderful partner.  Last routine was a blast. Sorry to not get to see you dance anymore. Hope you have had the best time.

Cathy

Hi Chris
 
What fabulous routine you both did. But my commiserations upon on your loss. I believe should have won. you were clearly the best dancer all year.
 
In my opinion the final scores should not be judged by the public. The grandfinal is a serious event and should be judged by the panel only. I will raise this matter up with Channel Seven producers. I believe this will be a fairer system.
 
You two worked hard to win but because you don't have a strong base such as Ada. She is an actress on a popular TV production  whereas you you are a news reader at 10.30am. So unless you are at home not many people know you.
 
I voted for you on many occasions this week. You and Trenno gave it your all and came up trumps in my opinion.
 
Might I suggest that you, Chris, carry on with dancing. I believe you have a flair for it.
 
Once again congratulation on a job well done.
 
George V

From all the Mums in the Australia that wished they could dance and have legs like you Go all the way and get that trophy for us !!!!!
 
Love Cathy


Dear Bathie,
 
Your vivacity, wit and sense of humour is superlative as a news reader. I always watch the 10:30am news. But I had no idea you could dance so well. WOWWW! you take my breath away.......choke!  gasp!  (speechless). mummble! Heard you are an avid gardener as well. Hope you will  share your gardening tips. I will keep on voting for you again and again. Go Bathie goooooo!! keep swinging, moving! I pray that you win. We are all behind you. Good Luck!
 
Your sincere fan,
Abid.


Chris,
Just wanted to send you this to make you really jealous.  You are doing really great in the dancing arena, but I am going to see your idol Barry Manilow in Vegas next month..... I just loved it hearing you say how much you liked Barry.
I will let you know how fantastic he is on my return.
Keep dancing....

Best Wishes
Julie A.


hey
im eliza and im 12 yrs old i luv dancing with the stars***
cos ur on it ur  the best dancer n treno i wanna join broadway ballroom!!!!
i would luv to become a ballroom dancer!!!!!


Dear Chris,
 
Congratulations on your wonderful routine last week and for being such a good sport throughout the competition. I sincerely hope that you and Trenton will take out the trophy next week. I picked you in week one as the most likely to win ( I also picked Tom last season), your dancing has been a delight to watch. My 81 year old mother and I have a post "Dancing" catch up each Wednesday as we share our favourite moments. As well as recording a few votes on the land line, I have been sending my requests in a Higher direction, (especially after the ankle incident) it's an occupational requirement!
 
With very best wishes and thanks for all the fun and joy you and Trenton have brought to so many.
 

Hi Chris,
I do not hear the music or the songs you dance to on Dancing With The Stars each week, due to my deafness. That doesn't mean much - the way you dance each routine tells your story, instrumentalises your own music and embodies your rhythm to the styles you perform.
 
Each week, I watch all the dancers - stars and professionals - and I look for the things that make a terrific dancer: timing, technique, confidence, posture, balance and enjoyment, to name a few (not necessarily in that order).
 
You are the contestant with the highest quality of dancing ability and standard in Season 3. Everything I have mentioned, and more, is in great abundance within you.
You deserve to win the competition, Chris, and I give you my utmost respect and support.

May you continue dancing beyond this competition!
 
Anne
Hi Chris!

This email is a little late in coming – but my friends and I hope it will see you through to the final of Dancing with the Stars.  Since you are a Barry Manilow fan,  we have composed the words to fit the tune of “Copacabana”. 

Her name is Bathie, she came from Newy
With purple feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She learned the paso – and then the cha cha
And while she danced just like a star
Judges always stared at her across the crowded floor
Sonja would check the score
5 weeks as the overall leaders – who could ask for more?

Dancing with the – yes with the sta- rs
With Bathie from Venus and Shipley from Ma-rs
Dancing with the – yes with the sta-rs
Chris and Trenno swaying
While Chong’s music goes on playing
To the final….. so bring it on!


Cheers and Good Luck!
Susan


Chris you inspire me everytime I see you dance on DWTS! Your gorgeous smile and funloving attitude complimented by your amazing scores shows your hardwork and commitment! Congrats on your perfect score and all your other incredible scores!!! Goodluck with the Grand Final you deserve to win! Me and my phone have been supporting you all the way and we definitely  wont be stopping this week!
CHRIS YOU ROCK!!!

Hey Chris,
I reckon that you are great and that you deserve to win. As much as I also love Ada I think that you are a better dancer and my dad thinks that you have “great legs”. It has been such fun watching you every week you have even inspired me to give it a go myself. I only wish I was as flexible as you though. Those splits last show were fantastic. Anyway best of luck with everything.

That is what me and mum will be shouiting next week when you are
crowned DWTS champ!!!
Well done for Tuesday a great effort to come back and get perfect
scores, especially after the dredging from the judges for the quickstep!
 I didn't think it was that bad, but to me all your dances are perfect!!
:)
Tuesday night almost gave me a heart attack when it was down to you and
dicko.  It was so hard to pick who was going to go this week cos all the
dancers are so close, but now with those perfect ten's you are head and
shoulders above the rest now.
Anyway good luck for Tuesday i will be tuned in cheering at full voice!
 I will also continue to keep voting for you this week, i have recruited
my family to the bathie army where i live so they are on the job as
well!
Go Bathie and everyone keep voting cos i know i am!

Good Luck

Jess

You do sexy sooooooooooooo well!!!!! You rocked tonight, your second dance was incredible and you are one sexy chic.. good luck!!!! Love you and your work. xxxxxxxx
 

You are just unbelievable - I watch you every morning on the News (and not just to check out what you're wearing that day or how you look), and you do it with such professionalism while being personable as well. Then I watch you dancing and you blow me away!! Do you sing also? Have you discovered a cure for cancer too? Because you can do anything!! And I hear you're a really nice person to work with as well. Tonight you were just mesmerizing in your second dance.. how are we going to top that next week? Good luck Ms Bathie, I shall be voting for you (again and again and again and...) xx

(that last bit is what we like to hear - ed)

Dearest Chris!
Go Chris! Woot woot! Your seriously the best dancer! You inspired me to always have a go in things in life now! I've voted for you every chance i get! Congrads on the four 10s that was just amazing, but Chris your amazing! Thanks for always entertaining us, and dazzling us with that smile we all love so much! Don't forget your fans when your crowned champion now will you?

Your my idol!!

Emma, Dubbo NSW


Gorgeous, talented, witty and a brain – what a package – love reading your ‘diaries’- thanks for the great all-round entertainment and I hope you win!

Dear Chris
My daughter and I just love watching you dance,  my daughter does jazz, tap, modern and ballet and is in 10/u troupe and 12/u troupe and also does jazz solo's and slow and fast tap solo's(open) and you are an inspiration to her to know that you did ballet a long time ago you have not lost the gracefulness that comes from the discipline of ballet and dancing. You showed your dedication to the show and your charity and dancing partner when you danced with an extremely sore ankle, I take my hat off to you.
 
I never realised what great legs you have and you have a lovely face and even more importantly a lovely heart. Your little boy is a hunk!! You should be very proud of him, he obviously loves his Mumma!
 
Good luck for this week and we have been voting for you. We really do hope you come out with first prize because you deserve it and have worked really hard. Once again good luck and see you Tuesday night, can't wait.
 
Viv and Kaley.


keep up the great effort chris, nice legs


Hi Chris
You go girl and don't let Toddy bag you. I think you are doing brilliantly but watch out for "Dicko" he is a real dark horse.
All the best for this week I know that you can do it. Listen to Trenno he is an excellent teacher.  Relax that body and let it talk for you.
 
Best wishes and love
Margaret


I was listening to the radio this morning and even the announcers were astounded at last nights scoring. What is going on! How could Dicko get 9's??? when it was so obvious he was tripping over his feet. I have been inspired to write this email to encourage you to go for it because  my friend's 6 year old daughter told me that she had voted for you last week she thinks your great and so do I.
 Kath and Gracie


Your dancing is already brilliant.  You deserve to win this competition.  The only real competion you have is Ada, and that's because she's doing really dramatic sorts of routines, and as an actress, she has the acting experience as an advantage which she's using to its fullest potential.  But even though she is doing really well, you have more talent, and you are technically better.  If Toddy wants drama, give him some enough drama to make his little score card drop off.  I'd love to see Todd's jaw drop so wide that falls to the floor and gets glued there.  You can do it!

By the way, you and Trenton were the most graceful couple on the floor on the Viennese waltz, but I did wonder why they devoted so little camera time to you.  If you look back at the videos, you were getting so little air time during that dance compared to the other couples. and I thought that was so unfair.

Please don't lose your nerve or your confidence levels after the way the judges carried on this week.  You are a star performer, a natural, and you really can blow this competition away.  We all want to see you win!!!

All the best,

Michelle


Dearest 'BB' (Ballroom Bathie)
 
AWESOME!!!!  WELL DONE on you & Trenno going through to the semi-final!!!  Congratulations from the entire Animation Division, who were on the edge of their seats during last night's show!
 
FYI, a Mr H.G.Wells materialised here during last night's show - he's from the late 1800's and is testing his new time machine.  Anyway, H.G. was so impressed by your 'stellar' performances that he is rewriting his classic book 'War of the Worlds' in honour of your Jive and Viennese Waltz and even giving it a new name and ending - please see attached short film based on his ideas last night. click here to view a 896k windows media file

You were robbed!!!
 
I just wanted to say that you were robbed last night with Todd's score!!! I thought you danced brilliantly, and I'm a recently retired soloist ballet dancer, so I know what dancing is!!
 
I think they just expect you to keep dazzling them when you are already as good as the professionals - hard to dazzle when you've already made it and always dazzle anyway!!TOUCH-DOWN
 
I'm just curious-did you learn to dance in Newcastle? I was brought up there and remember watching you on the news there and wondered if you were brought up there also? You were always a favourite in our family.
 
I also wish to say that if you could maybe suggest to the sponsors of 'Dancing with the Stars' that for future shows, if they would consider one of the dancers sponsoring the Australian Crohn's and Colitis Association?
I had to stop dancing because of the disease and have lost my colon as a result. I am currently enduring a year of painful, major abdominal surgery. They still do not know the reason why people have the disease and it is a painful and embarrassing illness that suffers young adults in the prime of their lives. It would be great to have more awareness. I know it is a tall shot to ask, but thought I'd go ahead and ask anyway!!!!!
 
Anyway, I wish you all the best with your future routines, and will continue to vote and give you a score of 10 from home!!!
 
Best Wishes,
Michelle

(a different one from the Michelle above - ed.)

Go Chris I hope you win you deserve it. Just get out there try to forget the nerves and give it everything. You are great. Go for it Chris and Trenton. WIN WIN WIN
love Melinda in Tasmania


What an outrage.

Is the competition rigged? What other conclusion can you make?

Dicko made two clear errors.... that was not the best dance of the night or the
competition. He was lucky to not fall over in his tangled feet...

Gosh, I know they're into creating controversy, but gees... you'd think they'd
try and be subtle about it.

Todd reckons Bathie and Trenno's first dance was comparable to Brodie's .... not
in your life! She was hot, slick.... entertaining.... he, robot-like,
uncomfortable... dare I say, dorkish.

The solution.... push aside the frustration: vote early, vote often -- keep the
dancing Bath....

Cranky Sista

All this crap about plateaus leaves you with only one choice Bathie - you've got to lose the frock next week and go the high heels with nudity option. 
 
Last night came close - those shorts were very short - but I think you can do better.
 
Congrats on making through to the final three!!

Viva Le Legs!
 
I don't know if you read my earlier email or not, but tonight a dream came true. Thank you.
 
The dancing was great and you were sensational.
 
May you and Trenton continue to shine.  Best wishes.

Hi Chris!

My name's Katie and I'm 21. I've just got back from 2 months in Europe and I've
thoroughly enjoyed watching all recorded episodes of DWTS back to back! Can I
just say that you are magnificent! I'm sure you've heard it so many times before
but you're an inspiration, you're fabulously entertaining, you're a very
talented dancer. Thank you for such a wonderful welcome back into the country.
Your little boy is just a darling, I can't wait to see what signs he and Denis
make for you in the coming weeks! Rest assured that the encouragement is coming
from within the ranks of the Bathie Army to recruit more soldiers that will
fight for you until your victory as DWTS Champion! The votes are rolling right
your way! Thanks so much for just being the fabulous personality that comes so
naturally to you! Keep up those talented twinkle toes and good luck for the
coming weeks!

Regards
Katie

BATHIE ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad she made it half way and it is so tragic that she broke her “first” streak. DAMN YOU TODD!!!!!!!! After hurting her ankle she gave a show stopping performance and I am so proud of her. We have been watching the ten o’clock news just to see her. She puts a good word in for all ballroom dancers. My family and I are all supporting you 100% bathie! Keep up the great work and we will be watching you next Tuesday night.

Best of luck

Dear Dancing Newsreader!
 
FAB FOXTROT!  Congrats to you & Trenton for dancing into Show 8 with another brilliant routine!! 
 Infact, we were all 'stoked' to see you both 'open up the throttle' and 'light up' the dance floor.You must be 'chuffed' that the ankle is 'back on track' Bathie. A tribute no doubt to all the 'training' from Trenno. Fantastic you are now both ' heading down the track' to show No.8 with a 'full head of steam'.  Please see attached short film in celebration of this & best wishes for next week too!!

Hi Chris,
Over 12 years ago I had to choose a famous Australian as a subject for a school project. At the time Chris was our local NBN newreader in Newcastle and my favourite person on tv so I decided to do my project on her, a decision I'm so very proud of today. No other student got to speak to their subject, let alone meet them, but I was lucky enough to not only speak to her on the phone a number of times, I actually got to meet her when she came to visit me at John Hunter Children's Hospital in Newcastle when I was sick. I was watching her on the news one minute and the next she walked into my room. I was so honoured, and still am.

I've watched Chris as you've gone from strength to strength over the past couple of years. Always the professional, and always so beautiful. I am so happy that Dancing with the Stars has given Australia the opportunity to see you as more than the sheila from the news, with all your vitality, talent, beauty and wonderful sense of humour. Congratulations on everything you've achieved thus far, including your lovely son. Keep dancing darling!

Chrissy Chrissy Chrissy Oi Oi Oi!

Your no. 1 fan from the beginning!


Your an inspiration to all of us bathie.
Even for an 11 year old like me.
You dance great every week keep up the good work.
C'MON BATHIE try yout hardest out there with Trenton.
 
From
Helen
 
P.S. i am supporting you 100%


Hi Chris
You soooo rule on Dancing with the stars, your soo going to win. Darcy is soooooo cute. All your dances are just great, not to metion your stunning dresses. I hope your ankle is much better for next weeks show. I have voted for you 2 times and will vote more and more. Good luck
 Love Claire


Dear Chris,
 
In addition to talent, grace and excellence, you now bring bravery and sheer determination to the dancefloor.  Last night was simply amazing.
 
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and for next week's show.  You may be equal second after last night, but you're still No.1 to your fans!  Infact, you're flying so high on DWTS there could be a 'Dukes of Hazzard' film sequel, with you joining forces with another well known and high flying '01' - please see attached idea being sent to Warner Bros.

Hey Chris

Congratulations on the fantastic dancing – keep up the great work!!

Hopefully we will see you and Trenno (what a big spunk he is) collecting the trophy on the final show.

Good luck


hey Chris!
hows your ankle? i watched you last night and you were great considering you had a sore ankle! I broke my arm last sunday so at least i'm not the only one in the wars! Have fun! I wish you all the best! Goodluck! xoxo
love becy! mwa kiss kiss


Hi Chris,
Sorry about your ankle, hope it will recover soon. Congratulations for the cha-cha, unfortunately starting next week I will not be able to watch you perform on DWTS or reading Seven Morning News live anymore as I'm going back to Indonesia this weekend. But I wish you all the best for the future ahead, and in my heart, you are already the CHAMPION.

Warm regards,

NB: Thanks for the website, now I have places to send my poster which I
created few days ago.










You are the best!!! The bomb!!! You rock and good luck xxx


Hey there Chris,
I have always watched this show but never have voted - UP TILL NOW !
You are most definitely the best dancer there, you put so much into it & you always come off looking as though you are having a great time. I find you very entertaining (although I do find Dicko rather entertaining too ....) and little Darcy is absolutley gorgeous.
 
Most of all - thank you sooo much for choosing us as your chosen charity.!!!  xxxxx
 
I wish you best of luck & keep enjoying yourself - we love to watch you .
Regards

bronwyn


Hey Chris,
I met you a few years ago talking at the Australian Youth Leadership Forums, when you treated us to a spur of the moment rock performance & told my mum to watch out for you when I heard you would be on DWTS. She laughed and said "What fun could a newsreader be?" hahaha. She has since changed her tune!
 
Tonights performance was TRUELY inspirational. I'm a netballer with very weak ankles and often play regardless, so I felt your pain!
It was a fantastic dance, and the fact that you did it with 1.5 feet reminded me why you're one of the few dancers I actually turn to the telly for.
 
Love Nikki
 
PS: I have NEVER EVER voted in a television show poll before, but you have scored my vote tonight


Hey Bathie,

I am a DWTS fan and I have to say you make this series the best yet - you really are fantastic......  You need to get away from that news desk girl, do something that lets you bring us that fantastic sense of humour - you really warm up the screen.  This show has to have done wonders for your profile  Chris Bath who??  Never again!!!!!!  And so it should be - we love you......

Your (new) fan.

Tracey.

hi i'm Tiffany i'm nine and love chris and trenton  on dancing with the stars. Your little son is cute. hope your foot is better and hope u don't hurt yourself again hope you win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hi Chris,
 
I am a big fan of your and wake up in the morning and wait for the 10:30 news, to watch you present the news with professionalism as well as putting humour in it as well.
When I heard that you were going to be on Dancing with the stars I went wild, and I still do when I see you nail the dances each week.
Congratulations and Good luck.
I hope that your ankle is all right and I will look forward to seeing you next week.



Hey Bathie

Have been following with great intrest as I travel Europe. You are all the talk here in Bratislavan Hostel International. All the boys sit around talking about you (living conditions not bad, only 25 to a room and if you are really lucky you get a hot shower. still better than communism) When a new arrival comes in, every one crowds around to hear news of your latest proformance. Even the border guards on the Crotian-Bosnian border wanted to know if I knew the girl in "That Dress" from Australian TV. Look forward to your victory. Have seen lots of monuments to great victors around Europe so got a few ideas for your statue in Martin Place. (maybe a bit of a nude).

Keep up the fight.

 
'SAMBATASTIC' !  Congrats yet again to you & Trenno on a spectacular dance!!  Felt like reaching for a can of 'BB' it was so good!  Wow - how the newsreader can dance!!
 
Great to see your two biggest fans there as well - think Darcy is stealing the show, might be offered the hosting job for the next series??
 
Also Bathie, because you and Trenno are so brilliant at 'exterminating' low scoring dances, I would like to send the attached short film to the BBC - think you could be in with a chance as the first ever female 'Dr Who'.   (click here to view a 944k windows media file)

(Hmmm, might need a new page for these animations! - ed)

Hello to the Bathie Army!

A little message to Chris:

Congratulations! Five weeks out of five on the top is an amazing acheivement. Good luck for the rest of the series and I hope you take the trophy. Thanks for making the show so enjoyable to watch and keep up the good work.  We now can't wait for Tuesday's to see your next performance. If only my boss would let me watch the Morning News at work.

P.S. - Love your sense of humour and wit - very refreshing to see a newsreader who doesn't feel they have to pretend to be totally serious all the time.


Hey there Chris,
I have always watched this show but never have voted - UP TILL NOW !
You are most definitely the best dancer there, you put so much into it & you always come off looking as though you are having a great time. I find you very entertaining (although I do find Dicko rather entertaining too ....) and little Darcy is absolutley gorgeous.
 
I wish you best of luck & keep enjoying yourself - we love to watch you .
Regards


beauty, brains, talent, but enough about me.
you have personality, humour, charisma, style, class and glamour.
good luck.


4th Show, Still Dancing, Still No.1 !  Congratulations to you & Trenton again on another fantastic performance & score.

Dear Chris.

I like dancing with the stars.  My mum is taping it becoase i am not aloud to stay up.  I love your dresses.




 
Thanx for the inclusion in the Bathie Army - I have a tale of interest to relate;
 
Today marks my first day at work for over a month.  I had the absolute joy of slumming it in Malaysian Borneo for most of September.  While over there a bunch of us decided to attempt the climb of the famous Mt Kinabalu, at 4095m the second highest peak south of the Himalaya's and one of the largest mountains in the world you can achieve the summit without professional mountaineering training.  3/4 of the way to the summit is the resting house for the night, Laban Rata, where a hot meal, mountain-cold shower and cockroach infested bed can be enjoyed before a stupidly early rise to attempt the summit to catch the sunrise.
 
Mt Kinabula dominates the landscape - the view from Laban Rata is truly stunning and the thin oxygen levels and exhaustive climb tends to add an air of jubliant hysteria to climbers' stop-over.  After the obligatory beer one of our group decided to contact her mother to share in our adventures, let her know we hadn't fallen off the mountain in a freak gust of wind and get updates from home.  3000 odd metres above sea level doesn't tend to provide the best level of phone service (think Telstra-in-the-bush only greatly elevated) so it was of little surprise that despite a 30 min ph call only two pieces of news from Australia made it down the line;
 
 - the Swannies had made the Grand Final
 - Chris Bath was winning Dancing with the Stars.
 
So congrats Bathie - your cult of dancing personality made it to one of the highest and most remote places on Earth and was cause for another round of beers (yes - excuses for drinking got pretty flimsy).
 
Rest assured you'll get a couple of votes from me!
 
Dear Chris

This blatant campaigning and appearing on the Breakfast shows. What are you planning or hoping to achieve? Profile? Status? Trying to get the whole Paris Hilton of newsreaders / journalist title?

What I find amazing is how people are reacting to you! So many people think that you had no personality and are astounded that you are actually very funny. I guess they really don’t know you.

Congrats on the show so far and really you don’t have to be so noice all the time!!!

Go Bathie, Go!
 
Writhe, Bathie, Writhe!
 
Dear Ms Bath

Thank you  for bringing  a three dimensional personality to this intriguing show.  Your talent and vivacity both on the dance floor and  at interviews is most refreshing.

Your partner Trenton has also  managed to  truly achieve a wonderful balance in recognising your  strengths and enhancing them. 

I commend  you both  for your contribution to bringing pleasure to many people through dance..

I am not a dancer it is great to see a person with intellect truly challenging those from the sporting and theatrical realms....

Have a ball and I hope you make to the finals..

Cheers

Dear Chris and Trenno,
 
We are all so impressed with you and your dancing queen ability! For personality and performance you win hands down!  Attached is a photo of baby Elizabeth Grace enjoying her first episode of 'Dancing with the Stars'. She is a HUGE fan, spurred on by the rest of our ever watching, cheering and voting clan! (Elizabeth is also wondering what young Darcy is up to later....i.e. 18 years later.....:-)

Dear Chris Bath,

I'm your biggest fan. The way you shimmy, sashay, slide and other s-related dance moves
that I can't think of... it gives me pimples - of the goose variety. Go the Bathster! We're rooting for you - and I have the scan pics to prove it.

Hey Chris!

First of all………CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I think this is a really good experience for you! Because you have gone from bathie the news reader to bathie the DANCER! Each time you go on to dance you look magnificent, you really do! And your son is the most adorable little boy I have ever seen! He is truly your NUMBER 1 fan!!!!

Well keep up the wonderful dancing and you will win this competition for sure!

From a fan

;o)
Awesome! Amazing! Brilliant!  Congratulations on being 1st again and for such a stunning performance. Best wishes to you & Trenton for next week.

Hey Chris,
It was very exciting watching you dance on Tuesday night. You were wonderful!
Such grace and control can only have come from your dedication to Pilates and yoga!
It was great to be able to see the smiling, witty Chris we know on tele, instead of the serious “taxes and death” Chris. It was also good to see the pigtails out. You should try them on the news!
Dear Chris,
Congratulations!  We were all thrilled to see the show and outcome last night - brilliant!!  Wow, what a superb performance Bathie and what an outcome.. well done!
 
Please see attached a small tribute to last night - has sound & should run via Media Player.
 
Again, all our love, support & best wishes for the rest of the show - we'll be watching!!
