My favorite was WOW Tia tonight...I agreed with the woman judge, she gave me goosebumps and the choreography was fabulous! She would have at least tied for first if that center judge hadn't not liked the "Agrentinian" (i think that was it) flavor to the dance--any dance experts know what that means??? I thought it was a riot that they started saying "no,no" to the lifts. People here had mentioned that from last year, but evidently they neglected to tell the contestants! I wonder what the problem is with doing lifts? Didn't John O'Hurley do some in the dance off? LOVED it tonight...Please Mr. P, go home. For anyone else, it will be a heartbreaker. I actually voted for the first time; voted for the two other lowest contestants to try to bump their scores; voted on two separate phone lines. I wish Mr. P would leave and that everybody else would stay to the end. I remember I never wanted this show to end last year; feel the same this year!

So in agreement with Tia's Tango being excellent, Clutterfree. She is absolutely looking amazing! Hot, hot, hot. As for the Jive...I liked Drew's the best. Course Lisa's was very good as well. More than time for Mr.P to go home and I hope that the fans will realize that anything but that would be unfair and ridiculous. I'd be all for having a strictly judge-decided show if the fans can't be honest. Gee, I'm gonna have to watch it again...taped it...I enjoyed the show that much.

I gave all of my votes to Master P. The judges pissed me off about him.

I'm with you Mocha...well I didn't vote but the judges annoyed me as well and he does have a large fan base but I don't see that as being any different than wrestling fans who vote for Stacy or men who normally wouldn't care less about this show voting for Jerry because he's an athlete...I know these two are better dancers and should definately be around longer than him but part of this show IS fan voting and it's always going to help someone to come in with an already existing fan base... but as for the dancing last night...I just don't see the all the hype with Stacy. She is definately beautiful and has great legs and lines...but her dance was nowhere near as good as Drew, Lisa or Tia. Didn't the judges say that some weeks you are on and some you are not to her?? And then they gave her a 27? That just doesn't make sense to me...

I thought Lisa looked tense throughout the dance - I would have liked to have seen her smile and appear to enjoy herself more. I thought that Drew (is that Nick's brother? - my first night watching) was fantastic. His footwork looked almost professional and his expressions were great. P is a joke in this competition.

Judging dancing is definitely subjective. You can definitely tell the judges get early favorites and judge accordingly. I was a bit ticked off with that, but then realized it was because we don't necessarily have the same favorites and I am doing the exact same thing! But how can you really judge these performances against each other? I know part of my vote comes from the interview clips. I want someone trying hard, someone who doesn't seem to know their own talent yet isn't too insecure, someone who takes it seriously but not too seriously. And I have to like their overall dance. Though if they have one bad week, I will still support them even if everyone else does better. Doubt I would do that if I were really judging, though. Master P does have a great fan base and people vote for him for all kinds of reasons.... probably not because they see him as the best dancer, however! Some because, like Mocha, they are ticked off with the mean comments of the judges, some because how he comes across in the interviews, some because he is the definite underdog, some because they identify with his lack of dancing talent....and some simply because it cracks them up that they can help keep him in the competition. To be last each week and have that be 50% of the score, he has to be getting very, very strong public votes. I still don't understand how they calculate votes. Is it just a matter of first place gets a 1 and so on and the highest score loses?

I thought the judges were unnecessarily cruel to P..made me wonder if they were doing a bit of reverse psychology. I was impressed with the effort he showed this week BUT he was definitely not the best dancer. I do think he deserves to go simply for that fact.

P has to go. He's just not dancing like the others. If he stays it's only because people feel sorry for him. I like Stacey and Drew. I think the judges judged Stacey last night based on past performances, which was not fair to Tia & Lisa. I missed Tia's tango... urghhhh ... I was reading my e-mail and completely missed it. Damn! Can't wait for tonight. I say it's P or George that go home.

Not George, Enbwife! He's a delight and he really isn't doing too badly. Juju, do you remember years ago when the Hustle was all the rage? I remember well that it was George making the talk show circuit showing it off to everybody. LOL!

I like P, I know he can't dance this style of dance but I am in this show for entertainment. I do think that he actually wants to go home. I felt so sorry for him last night because of his Aunt who just died, yet he had this show to do. He could have just quit like he probably would like to.

I totally thought that Giselle's partner had the worst toupee ever made when I watched a bit of this show last night. And then I did a Google image search and I think it's his real hair! LOL! And now I'm trying to figure out which is worse...that it's a bad toupee or that it's his own hair.

I think a bad toupee is always worse than someone's own hair. With a toupee, you have actually paid money for the privilege of wearing it! (Donald Trump is an asterick after that statement, but I'll bet he pays big money to retain his bad hair. That's the same thing as a toupee.) Reminds me of a guy in my town, who when I first moved back here was running for city council. There wasn't a lot of difference between him and his opponent in terms of issues, so I based my vote solely on his bad toupee (you know, "anyone who wears a toupee that bad does not have good judgment.") In time he became a friend of mine and I know now that he has excellent judgment in most things....just a blind spot when it comes to his toupees. He has a collection of bad ones....and people tell him all the time that they are horrible. I have never seen him without one, but I am told he is quite handsome. It befuddles me.

We have two shows within one. Is this a serious competition to execute skill in a standardized dance or just fun to see who can get the most votes? P is not not into learning a technical dance. That is clear. No big deal, this is TV. The judges are professional judges so their bias is for those who study hard and learn. They scored them with their own sensibilities. If P remains tonight we can all settle in to a fan race. Now down to business. Lisa and her lips alarm me. Her fans overlook that but, never having seen her before, I am stunned. Stunned, I tell you. She looks deformed. She appears to be well into her 50's because so many aging stars take that route. I don't think so if she is married to Harry Hamlin. Anyone know? Drew is the standout right now. George, nope. His scores are inordinatly high. He is just not good. I don't care if he mugs Cary Grant or Eyrol Flynn. blick Tia was great last night and I did like Stacey too. Gizellle, she is not doing it for me.

I haven't caught an episode yet but I remember Lisa when she played Billy on Days of our Lives. She's always had large lips. I don't think she has had any alterations to them and they're like that 'au natural'.

If P does stay tonight, and I think he has enough of a fan base to make up the low score difference...in fact, I think he may have enough of a fan base to keep him for a few more weeks, regardless of what the judges say...who wants to bet scoring will be different next season. I'm in the P needs to go crowd, but I think his fans can pull it out for him.

Well, we'll know soon enough. However, last year when the judges started out scoring Kelly the lowest her fan support was enough to always keep her out of the bottom two. P was in the bottom two last week, so his fan base couldn't have been that amazing. It was just a little better than Tatum's. Hopefully after this last embarrassing performance they'll let him go. It was like the dance equivalent of being tone deaf. I can't imagine voting for him because of the judges. I thought the judges were being kind. Hey, they kept a straight face. I'm trying not to let the rehearsal footage sway me, because the editing is so manipulative. Their's always some hardship going on in their personal life, or some attempt to bring in some special training gimmick like a strip pole or football practice because the underdog is just not getting it. Then they come out and do the dance perfectly. Or you see someone in a moment of frustration and get the idea they're really a resistent jerk only to find out after they're eliminated that they really did want to be there and give it their all. I do hope they change their voting system next time, if only to keep the phone lines closed until the show is over and then keep them open for at least a couple of hours. What I really wish they'd do is have everyone vote to eliminate instead of voting to keep people in.

Sigh. I didn't say Lisa marriend Harry because she was old. She looks old to me because her lips are so obvioiusly enhanced and that happens sometimes with older "stars". Good for her for being successful. I just find her lips alarming. That is all. Personal observation. }

If like last week, first 20 minutes or so will be last night's dances...they did JUST say that this was last week that you would get to see entire set of dances repeated on Friday.

Clutter, I think lifts were not allowed until the free dance finales last season. So it makes sense that, again, lifts won't be allowed. I'm not a real fan of Lisa, Stacey, or Giselle. Giselle's body scares me (over-exercised) and she really has no flexibility. Stacey's got great legs but legs don't a dancer make (and it's hard to find partners when you are that tall, believe me!). She really did "paste on a face" again this time, and it really didn't look great. Lisa looks petrified every time I see her go out there. And I never really "feel" her dancing. I can almost see her counting in her head. And that tan makes her look scary, to me. (Makes her skin look bad, too!) Tia did a great job with the tango. She DID do the facial expressions, which ARE part of the dance. Very sultry! And to lose 20 lbs! You GO girl! George never did do a head snap during the tango. I don't know why he's getting such high scores. So he's a geezer who was injured. Big whoop. Again,. that does not a dancer make! Drew and Cheryl's routine rocked. It was definitely fun and entertaining to watch, and he did do a lot of fast footwork. P looked like he's finally starting to get into it. But really, much as I'm enjoying watching him grow into this persona, he's out of his element. He's got two lead feet and just isn't graceful enough. I do feel for Ashley, but heck, you get the cards you're dealt. She had a good run last time.

Just repeat my two questions from above: 1. Does anyone know why Tia's wonderful dance was too "Agrentinian"? 2. Why do the judges have a problem with lifts being performed? And didn't John O'Hurley do lifts in the dance-off last year?
