Wait, if John came in third with the home voters. He and Rachel would have been tied with 4 points each. If he finished higher than 3rd Joey could not have been ahead of him. The results last night were not possible without a previously undisclosed tie breaker. Or it could all be rigged.

rigged??????????! tabby reaches for another glass of fresh-squeezed carrot juice and gets ready to adjust her rabbit ears. on the tv, i mean. 'rabbit' won't come close enough for anything to be adjusted. (which is why bob barker never says, "have your rabbit spayed or neutered", by the way.)

Thanks Costa, I didn't realize that was how the scoring was done

Rabbit I don't understand a word you said so my bet is that it was rigged.

I love Kelly so I don't care if it's rigged as long as she wins. If she loses then I'll be indignant about it. LoL!

To be honest with you, I thought Kelly really rocked last night. She did a great job with the samba, and she had wonderful posture throughout the waltz (which is tough to do even if you are female!). I thought Rachel looked a bit "big" for her partner. But the thing is... if they are good dancers and in step, he'll make HER look good. So it doesn't matter if he's her height or not. I just think she was "off" last night. She didn't really do anything that made me enjoy watching her. And then... and then... that pouty look while she was waiting to hear if she was gonna be leaving. Yowzer! Not an attractive look at all. (I mean, I know it was a lifelong dream, but hullo? It was done on a lark! It wasn't your next career!)

P.S. I am real tired of Charlotte. Real tired. After watching her mug behind the couple being interviewed -- not once but twice -- well, that was just a bit too much. I like O'Hurley, but I'm getting a bit tired of watching the two of them "performing". (BTW, speaking of size, O'Hurley staggered a bit during the lift while they were waltzing!)

Rabbit, in the event of a tie the final decision goes to the head judge, Len Goodman. He's supposed to base his decision on their overall performance. If he decided based strictly on how he had scored them thus far (and if I've got these right), his 4 scores for them have been Rachel: 6 8 9 9 John: 7 9 9 8 So it's possible that Rachel lost it on that first waltz (if that's how the decision was made).

I agree - Charlotta's (sp?) mugging was soo tres annoying. Especially when she smiled like was happy when they announced that Kelly was in first - LOL I LOVED Kelly's dance so much. I still think her partner is incredible. His posture and the way he moves - it is like superhuman, and yet he has an intensity that makes him not robotic. From the beginning I have always noticed he does a great job of making Kelly look better than she otherwise would be. I also love the way he is so focused on her when they dance I thought Rachel was strangely overrated the first week. Then I became a fan so I am disappointed she left I even saved her dance the previous week. Although truth be told, it is hard to see any of these people go. They are really trying their hearts out and all have a unique charm/style

Rachel left with grace. I really think she is a nice person.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but... I just watched the remake of "Shall We Dance" and Charlotte was the actors' dance instructor. If you watch the DVD special features, there's a clip of her showing them how to dance. (And, btw, the original Japanese version of "Shall We Dance" was ever so much better!)

They are way too hard on Joey. His Rumba was hot! He did the second best Rumba to Kelly and Alec. Man, he looked good in that black out fit. He really has a trim, fit, and tight body...so attractive

In next weeks TV Guide: new reality series next season -- Skating With Celebrities. Celebrities will be paired up with pro figure skaters. That should be good. Hope celebs can at lest stay on their feet!

Hadn't heard that Color. That should be a total riot -- talk about bruised bums! LOL Wonder if they'll get people like Kristian Alfonso (from Days of Our Lives) who have at least some background in skating. Do you know if it will be this fall or next summer?

Advance press on "Skating..." said that they were gonna pick celebs who actually had some experience on the ice. There are quite a few who play hockey and figure skate, apparently.

My money's on Kelly to take it. I bet the final is going to be her and Joey. I didn't even think she would make it this far. I wanted her to, but I didn't think she would. I was thinking John would be in the final 2, but now I'm not so sure.

I thought Rachael was by far the best dancer. Guess just no fan base. I think that Kelly is really working her butt off, but basically she is getting the soap vote. Joey is a hoot. He is working very hard and is so creative. John is simply delicious. He has many years on his competitors, and he is working his guts out. VH1 did a show tonight, kinda chiding reality shows, and even they said they like this show. I agree. I didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I do.

I thought I read a blurb somewhere yesterday about a mix-up with John's number...did I imagine that? Did nobody else hear anything about that?

What kind of mix-up, and with what number? Do you mean the telephone number for voting? Rachel and her partner were on Regis & Kelly yesterday and did their tango, but I guess they were using the original song. It wasn't as good without the live band to give the song a tango rhythm. It just came out looking a little awkward. Funny thing is she said she didn't want to do the show until she found out they were going to be using popular songs. She seemed to be over the disappointment. I don't buy the no fan base thing, though. No way is Joey McIntyre more famous than Rachel Hunter. I think this show is helping them increase their fan base. John O'Hurley said people are now calling him by his own name instead of shouting "Hey, Peterman!" I wonder what will they do for the finale. It would be nice if they brought them all back for exhibitions. I understand that all the winners receive is a trophy. They should at least get a donation for their favorite charity.

This afternoon I happened to put the Animal Channel on and a show called "Pet Stars" was on. One of the judges was John O'Hurley!

Okay, I think the blurb was on eonline but it is no longer there so maybe that was a rumor that was dispelled...but I know I read it somewhere!
