Stripping With the Stars?


No, there's not a reality show called Stripping With The Stars, but it's not a bad idea.   I know there was The Real Full Monty on Fox in 2024, but there were certainly not any full Monty's, not even a partial Monty to be seen.   There are however, versions of reality shows in other parts of the world with much less of American puritan influences. 


The Argentine version of Dancing With the Stars, Bailando por un Sueño, (Dancing for a Dream) is a dance competition that premiered back in 2006.  Both shows are versions of the  British reality TV competition Strictly Come Dancing.  The Argentine version is hosted by Marcelo Tinelli.  Unlike other versions, which pair professional dancers with celebrities, Bailando paired amateur dancers with the professionals as they purse their dancing dreams.


Back in the show's 2011 season, amateur Argentine dancer Mónica González was paired with professional dancer Maximiliano D'Iorio. (Maxi Diorio)  Neither seemed to mind stripping down for their numbers with Maxi often wearing just a G-string for his dances.  This was nothing new for Maxi, who also spent a number of years working as a male stripper.  Host Marcelo Tinelli seemed to enjoy showing off Maxi's body, as you can see from the clip below.


There was one particular dance where González and Maxi went even further with Maxi's G-Strip peeled off and both contestants completely naked by the end of the dance.  You don't see too much, some hot shots of Maxi's great butt, but it is a hot number.  It's from 2011, so some of you may have seen it before, but the clip was brand new to me.  Check it out on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
