Candace Cameron Bure—"traditional" wife, former Full House star and sister to Kirk—is currently a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. Because a good evangelical never misses an opportunity to SELL, SELL, SELL that Jesus, she's using the show as an opportunity to remind everyone how to be a proper Biblical lady.
This is the sixteenth season of Dancing With The Stars, and the new contestants are, as usual, from very different backgrounds — comedy, sports, music, acting and politics.

This week, Dancing With The Stars turned into Depressing With The Stars when the contestants were taked with identifying their "most memorable year" and then to act out all of the emotions associated with that year out on the dance floor.

As the grand finale to Nancy Grace's quickstep on Dancing With The Stars, one of Grace's "twins" wriggled itself out of that tight dress for the world to see. The whole situation was hard to watch. Video slightly NSFW.
