Go Jillian, please, give your best performance ever! Thank goodness the other skaters will be back, or I might not even be able to stomach watching the finale!

Just wanted to add that it was not Lloyd thanking Kristy, but Kurt Browning who thanked Deborah Gibson for going to Canada for practice so he wouldn't have to be away from his family during the week. Gotta love Kurt!

I knew early because Lloyd stayed with an acquaintance of mine for a while before Christmas. Not sure why they put him up, when his wife threw him out. I sure as h*ll wouldn't have. Because of the family, I promised not to say anything. I didn't know who knew and who didn't.

Pamy, I don't think it's on tonight. I think part 1 of the finale is next Monday, with the winner revealed on Thursday, March 2.

I bet they didn't want to compete with the Olympics tonight??? Instead of watching Skating with Celebrities, we got to watch skating withOUT celebrities, in the form of ice dancing on NBC Olympics. Saw interview with Bruce Jenner on TV guide channel. Laughingly said that he got the "bronze" (third place) this time, and that his greatest compliment came from Scott Hamilton, who apologized for trying to talk him out of doing the show. He also commented on how they came out on top one of the weeks during the run, not by doing more tricks, but by doing a "connected" (as in two skating partners connected) and well-choreographed routine to just the right music. He thought the other teams learned from that, that it wasn't just all about tricks!

The gossip on Eisler dissapoints me. I was ready to root for them cause Kristy looked like such a fighter. Now I could care less for either of them. I guess that means I have to root for Jillian, who I wasn't fond of just cause I didn't like her experience advantage. Can we bring back Tai and Bruce? Please? That would make for a much more enjoyable final. I bet the producers are sorry they waited two weeks to air the finale. Its just given that much more time for the Eisler stuff to come out and for people to dislike him. Of course, the media does love a juicy scandle. Don't they. I loved the Brasseur/Eisler matchup. Besides of course loving their skating, I loved how they were such good friends, and how he was so supportive of her when certain media types criticized her skating and suggesting she wasn't up to his level of skating (That's certainly a far cry different than the way Fusar-Poli recently treated her partner at the Olympics...obviously she totally agrees with the critics that Margaglio isn't as good a skater as her, and isn't afraid to express it)! Anyway, I wish I could go back to liking the Lloyd of the Brasseur/Eisler days. Maybe that Lloyd never existed after all.

It will be great to see Tai and Bruce again in the finale. I was just wishing they would still be in it for the win, cause I'd definitely be rooting for them! Maybe I will anyway.

It's kind of a funny event. People seem to want to see Tai and Bruce be given the win because they are nice people who tried hard, rather than because they are the best skaters. I do understand that perspective though. In a show like this it would almost be better if they judged based on greatest improvement rather than simply pure skating talent. It's also interesting how difficult it can be to separate performance from personal life.

I'm not quite sure I understand the "now I'm not voting for Eisler thing." None of us knows the entire story, only what the media has frenzied about. We don't know anything about his marriage, and whether it was good or bad. For all we know, it was a terrible marriage. Just because his wife is pregnant does not mean anything... women have gotten pregnant far too often to "hold on" to their men. I respectfully refuse to judge anyone on gossip. I also respectfully choose to hope that the best couple wins. And at this point, I think Jillian and Kristy are pretty close.

I first heard about the Eisler thing on the figure skating bulletin boards from people who are skating insiders. They are pretty much blasting Lloyd. That is not what I would really expect, because they usually side with the skaters not with the non-skating spouse. Kurt Browning "allegedly" cheated on his wife also (not on this show, with another skater), and that was very hushed up. Still, true that we really do not know what is going on - though to me the signs are pointing to this being exactly what it looks like.

Hi everyone. I'm usually happily lurking, reading this board, agreeing, sometimes disagreeing with comments made. But I've really never been one to get into a heated discussion about certain things because I guess I felt "why bother" or "who needs the aggravation" when we all have our own issues in life to deal with. But here I am because I cannot believe the self-righteous, judgemental attitude of some of the comments on this subject. What on earth gives people the right to judge others on their personal lives when you don't even know them? The show is about skating. It's about amateurs trying to conquer a very difficult sport. We don't know what happens behind closed doors. And what gives people the right to speculate? Just because a person is a celebrity, it doesn't mean they're not human. They have marital problems, just like "normal" people. Yes, being famous or well known makes you a target. As fans (or non-fans) we seem to feel we have a right to know everything about them. And celebrities know that this is a price they pay for being famous. But for goodness sake, wanting someone to lose this competition because you don't like the way their personal life is evolving? All I can say is thank goodness, in this case, that the public isn't voting, because they would have tarred and feathered Kristy and Lloyd already. And just a footnote here to American Idol fans...the public voted out the prettiest girl this week, not the worst singer (c'mon you know there were a couple worse), but the best looking...makes me wonder what is happening to our society..

Well, I could care less if someone is a celebrity or not. I just find it disappointing to hear of someone who has cheated on a spouse. That's all. I don't think its self righteous to prefer to respect loyalty and faithfulness. I'm not saying someone does or does not deserve to win a skating competition just cause they cheated on a spouse. I'm saying its just makes it harder to like them. Face it, likeability is part of the equation in these kinds of things. Like Simon said on American Idol. There's the talent factor, and there's the likability factor. Like it or not, both characteristics factor in to attracting fans. And, FWIW, Tai and Bruce were my favorite from the beginning, long before I heard of the Eisler gossip.

I just keep thinking how strong could their marriage have been if it only took a month or so for him to leave his preggers wife. I think there is more to the story

Pamy... there is always more to the story. That's why it's not for someone like me to judge. I stayed married for 2 years after my marriage was OVER... but to outsiders I'm sure it was "sudden"... there is ALWAYS more to the story...

Regardless of what his marriage was, he made a commitment to that woman and he should have waited until his marriage was over before messing around.

your definition of over and his may be two different things. In many States you have to go to an attorney, then wait wand wait... then file the papers... and wait some more... before anything can be legally done. Not to mention that if she is pregnant it could have severely slowed down the process in many States. Bottom line is it is not for me or any person other than Lloyd or his wife to judge. JMO
