I love this show, I just love watching them all dance. Who are those 2 chicks? They irritated the heck out of me.

Ketchuplover, I love the "So you think you can judge" line! Great news that they are trying to put together a tour with the top ten!!! I so much wanted that last year!!!! Don't really go to concerts, but THIS I would go see! I would have expected Martha and Ryan to go; Dimitri was the surprise for me tonight; also that Natalie was in the bottom two.

Dimitri spoke passionately (before knowing he was one leaving) about how hard it is to live with people 24/7 and then have them go home; he really wants everyone to stay (that was the point Nigel brought up the tour!!!); also Nigel said that we have never really gotten to see Dimitri's sense of humour. Martha is only 19 (just turned 19!); I thought she was older; really projects maturity!

Thanks, Beth. That's a surprise. Dimitri is such a good dancer. I thought Ivan or Ryan was going.

I'm kinda glad Dimitri's gone. Next should be Ryan even though he has the body of a god.

I think Dimitri used his chest and looks too much. He was a talented dancer but especially with the comments Nigel made, I think the chest thing hurt him. I feel he was a better dancer than Ryan.

Basically, I think it was a coin toss for the guys. The final two guys should be Benji and Travis. The others are just fighting for third place. This week, Ivan showed his weakness. He's been lucky to have had a great partner who held him up. Even on the dance that made everyone cry, it was weak form on his part, just better acting. Just as you say Dmitri got by on his chest and looks, Ivan got by on the "cute boy" factor.

I'm giving Dmitri a little slack with the chest thing. He is a ballroom dancer and if you have ever watched ballroom dancing on PBS (especially the latin competitions) the men frequently have their shirts open halfway. I also know he was doing it to get the female (maybe some male) vote. I will miss him.

I think it was hypocritical of Nigel to get on Dimitri with the open shirt thing. The women wear totally sexy and skimpy outfits and he tells them what a great body they have or whatever. I think he was jealous

Buggles, Funny you should write that because I was thinking it earlier today. I also think the comments hurt his votes and it should be based on their dance skills not the costume.

Buggles, I totally agree! I liked Dimitri and will miss him because he is sooo HOT! The rest of the boys seem so....gay. There were times in his facial expressions, looks, hair, height and body movements that he reminded me of a young Elvis. Nigel is a grumpy old man. The French judge (who I thought was great!)said he would positively make it thru. So, I think it's not just us that are shocked.

Personally, I think there is a difference between wearing a skimpy costume and intentionelly RIPPING open your shirt. Turned me off big time! He was my Mom's fave and after he did that she was like, "Oh... it's all gone to his head" and voted for Travis. I don't think it was Nigel pointing it out, but rather the move itself.

Ok, I had forgotten about the ripping open of the shirt .... but still, where's Nigel's sense of humor I say????

btw, I read that Dimitri trains with Louis Van Amstel from Dancing With the Stars. I can see it... Louis is da bomb!! Louis and Dimitri have that same masculine/sexy style of dance that you don't get with the other guys - imo.

different strokes, I guess ... I didn't find him sexy at all. but then I find understated more sexy and sensual than blam! my thing is that if you have to tell me that you're sexy, then to me you aren't

Maybe we'll see Dimitri on 'Dancing with the Stars' one of these days.

There is a huge difference between wearing a skimpy costume one week (for a samba) and then the next week wearing a conservative costume (for a foxtrot). Dimitry seemed too one-dimensional for me... he was really skating by on his looks more than anything else. Yes, he's a good ballroom dancer, but after Nigel continuously commented on his bare chest, you'd have thought he'd have taken his comments to heart and backed off on the "sex appeal." Which, honestly, was more appealing before he started throwing it in our faces. (That ripping open of the shirt was too over the top.) I noticed that Nigel commented on Natalie's playing the sex kitten thing, and she totally turned it down this week. I think Alison has the most potential of the women. And I really like Travis for the guys. But there are some really pheneomenal dancers there, and now that it's a popularity contest, it's gonna be hard to pick a winner.

I noticed that too, about Natalie. Unfortunately when Nigel plants a seed, it grows. I do think Natalie has fallen out of favor due to her mugging (for lack of a better word) for the camera. Her bio states that she is looking to go into acting. I think this would be great for her. She seems to lay on the antics when the camera is on. She is an excellent dancer and beautiful woman but she will not win. I think Donyelle and Heidi will be the last women standing though Alison has them both beat by miles.

Does anyone know the schedule for next Wednesday? Are we back to one hour show or what? It's odd that Nigel didn't mention next week's format, which makes me think it may be back to one hour repeat show followed by one hour (approximately, if like last time!) new show. Anyone know?
