My Chilean partner wanted to watch Dancing with the Stars, before Kristi Yamaguchi won, all because there was a Chileno on it, Cristian de la Fuente. Seems he wasn't the only one. According to the website Recoleta Ciudadana, the Chilean National Press payed more attention to Cristian and his "injuries" than it did to their own President Michelle Bachelet who was named one of TIME Magazine's 2008 Most Influential People. Could this be because of Bachelet's not so great ratings within Chile?Is Bachelet looked at more favorably outside of the Chile than inside it. Certainly many people I have spoken to from Chile in recent months, prefer Ricardo Lago's style.
Maybe Bachelet needs to get on Rojo, Chile's answer to American Idol crossed with Dancing with the (non) Stars.
