So basically the judges' scores are worthless. There was only a what, 20-point spread in their votes, but I doubt the viewer votes are anywhere near that close.

She seemed really wooden and uncomfortable. She knew she was going to have to dance with a man who wasn't Ryan, hopefully this will teach her a lesson about going on tv just to be on tv. I understand the concept of wanting the money and working and such, but if she doesn't pick and choose, and only choose the good ones, then there won't be anymore, except maybe The Surreal Life. LOL. Of course maybe there wasn't anything to choose from.

Ok, so now the "Trista dislikers" can watch the show! I think Evander is terrible. He didn't even look like he was dancing. I thought he and his partner would have been one of the lowest, although she's an excellent dancer. He seems like her pole to hang on to!

LOL, Watching, the poor guy really can't dance at all, but most of the others weren't that much better.

I'm happy Kelly and her partner are still in this. I didn't think the judges where/are right with their trashing Kelly's performance.

I'm guessing between the judges being so rude to them and her General Hospital fans...well I can see her team racking up the viewer points.

I'm happy that Trista is gone but it should have been Evander.

Evander missed at least 2 hand clasps that I saw and his footing was almost non existant...yet his team still scored higher than Kelly and her partner last week.

John and Rachael are damn good.

Evander was just grim. Aside from him not actually dancing they stumbled and muffed whatever they were doing. He should have gone.

Trista can kiss any acting gigs good bye if, indeed, she is entertaining the thought. Dancing is acting NOT cheating on your husband for cryin out loud. Gracious.

Johns partner is............god, I am at a loss for words. Engaging in foreplay? Is that it?

What am I missing, Trista was upset because she is married. I didn't think I saw anything that she did that was so bad that she needed her husbands input or permission. Did she think that she could be on this show and dance with someone without touching them at all or what? Or is it just me?

I'd have to guess its that old "any attention brought to me" thing. An added 2 minutes of face time for Trista. Much Ado About Nothing, I think.

I think John and Joey are the best dancers of the celebrities.

I thought the same thing, Mygetaway. It was a ploy to get Ryan on camera again.

John Hurley was fantastic! I loved that they actually chose music that was appropriate for the dance. None of the other teams did. Trista's team looked like they were dancing to music different from what we were hearing, and she couldn't change that Walt Disney grin to fit the mood. The dancing itself was good, though, as she was the only one who actually did discernible rumba steps.

I just don't get the high marks for Rachel. This is the second time they've gotten away with doing a lot of interpretive dance rather than actual ballroom steps.

They need to explain how the scoring works. How are the viewers votes being added to the judges' marks when our votes don't have numerical values? What's the formula they're using?

My impression was they just add the judges' score to the raw number of viewer votes. That's why I said the jugdes' score basically doesn't matter; it's statistically insignificant compared to the number of viewer votes.

I had to give Kelly points for getting the idea of the rhumba -- "I want you, no I don't, yes I do, go away."

Great show last night even though I missed part of it. Love J Peterman and Kelly.

The judges score is 50% of the total tally. Maybe they asign a point value to the place ranking of the others. It should be explained.

I thought Kelly was a lot better than they gave her credit for. Do the judges just dislike soap stars or what?

I don't understand the music choices for the latin numbers. This is 2 weeks in a row I didn't think the music matched the cha cha & the rumba.

All's I gots to say is... I am SO glad Trista is gone! Maybe now I can watch the show and not cringe whenever I see her. (I'm sorry, but I think she's really phony!)

I think O'Hurley is having the most fun.

I had to fan myself watching Kelly and her partner. I was just waiting for them to throw down on the floor and do it. Oh, to see her do that dance with Jason....

Although I love Kelly, I think John and Charlotte have it in the bag.

O'Hurley adds one thing the others do not. He performs and doesn't just dance. I think being seasoned actor gives him a real edge.

I think Trista danced better than Rachel. Rachel had the mood. I think the judges were influenced by Trista's pre interview like she said. Because I thought her chemistry was good, too.
Joey and John are great. Kelly was better than the judges said. Evander is a performer but he is not as good a dancer as Joey and John. I think that the judges have a thing against Trista and Kelly.
