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.

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.
