In terms of fan base, I don't understand some of it. If it is that important does it not mean that Jerry Rice is a shoe-in?

Here we have arguably the greatest player in the biggest sport, who was just recently honored in front of a billion people in the worlds most watched sporting event. His name recognition is elephant versus ant over Stacey, a bit player on a staged "sport" on upper channel cable.

Now I am a huge long time 49er fan who does consider Jerry Rice the greatest player, ahead of Joe Montana even, yet I would never vote for him in front of Drew, as Drew is clearing the better dancer.

Also I love Tia, great personality, beautiful, starred in the greatest Arnold movie ever not to mention Wayne's World.

In a who would you like to get an autograph from it would be Tia and Jerry and I wouldn't waste the paper on Drew, Stacey or Lisa, but they clearly are the better dancers, and would be the only ones who would get my vote.

Stacy has two really prominent vertical frown lines running down her forehead that I just keep looking at!!! I hate to suggest collegen, but some preparation H would help.
But I still like her dancing and have no objections to the Camp Pendleton thing to build up her fan base.
Lisa's lips look a little better, do you think she had collegen injections to plump them up a bit?

Yes, Misspoufy and Chalupa, I agree with the both of you whole heartedly.
My husband was the one who brought up the fact that Stacy used to be a Cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens and that means being a professional dancer. And yes she had all thos ballet training. NOT FAIR!

Lisa and Drew are both my favorites (though we all adore George, lol). They both put in a lot of work to dance like they are dancing now.

ABC in the future should make sure that Stars are not professional dancers of some sort cos then it won't be fair to the rest of the contestants. (Long legs, Ballerina arms.... oh please, give me a break)

Rabbit:"In terms of fan base, I don't understand some of it. If it is that important does it not mean that Jerry Rice is a shoe-in? "

Not really cos those fans may be more also voting for George or Drew.

Wrestling (WWE etc) has a huge fan base. So Stacey has a huge fan base plus she is very attractive to a lot of men. Hence the votes. lol

Or those fans may not be voting. Or know that Jerry Rice is on Dancing. I mean, they probably didn't announce it all over the NFL Web site (unlike WWE).

Anyways, it's almost 7pm. So that means someone on east coast time must know who got their walking papers tonight. (Unless everyone is watching the Olympic ceremony?)

Jerry and Anna were the first safe, followed by Drew and Cheryl, then Stacy and Tony. Bottom 2 were Lisa and Louis, George and Edyta (sp). George went home, handled it with grace and humor.

Loved the Bill Medley and daughter duet (daughter has quite a wonderful voice!) very well incorporated with Tony and Cheryl dancing along with the 6 students from the Rising Star dance school of Tia's former partner. One of those students (the last male to dance in earlier jive? number) is really something!

I guess they're not doing the sit-down interviews anymore on exiting; only did it the week P exited.

Good show tonight. Glad they gave the highlight spot to someone new (Lisa & Louis).

OH, thank goodness, I was afraid Lisa was going to get booted!! I think Jerry has a big support base with the NFL, whenever I have tried to vote for him (when I was afraid for him) the line was always busy, so I don't worry about him!!!

Thank goodness. Cause if George was still there after this week, I'd really question the integrity of this show. Yeah, the man got bonus points for effort and for being entertaining. But this isn't "Entertaining with the Stars"; it's "Dancing with the Stars"! :-)

I was quite disappointed in the production (dancing) in the "Time of My Life" number. I was ready for Cheryl to "fly" off the stage. NOT. The whole number was nothing compared to "Dirty Dancing". They should not have even tried.

Even though I have loved George for years it was time for him to go and he went with such grace and humor. Its really hard for me to get past Lisa's lips to watch her legs and with Stacy I can't watch anything but her legs. LOL Right now I'm rooting for Drew. Go Drew!

Jerry got more votes than Drew, Stacy, and Lisa! Craziness! He can't dance. I never heard of him before this season's show. My husband had to tell me who he is. There must be a heck of lot of football fans watching this show. If he wins, why are we even calling it a dance contest?

Bill Medley's daughter sings better than he does. I liked the Dirty Dancing routine. Cheryl is a better dancer than Baby.

Ahhh, poor George. I just loved his heart and desire. Gotta be pretty damn hard to compete against kids who are not only half his age, but some are 1/4 of his age. He is kicking the hell out of 70. (If not actually over it and not admitting it.) But, Alas, it was his time to go.

I like Jerry Rice a lot on this show. He is really trying his guts out. And he sure as hell doesn't need this gig. But he's not as good as Drew.

I think that Drew, Lisa, and Stacy are pretty evenly matched. I thought Lisa looked simply lovely last night. Stacy might be just a bit better than Lisa, but she is a lot younger and has prior dance experience, so not really a apples/apples kinda comparison.

In my I'd rather see a Lisa-Drew final. But that's really not fair to Stacy if she is the better dancer.

Dancing should take their cue from Skating and not let the public vote. They should perhaps have a larger panel of judges, to include the professional dance judges, and maybe add an entertainment judge and a "people's choice" kind of judge. That would not diminish the show for me one bit. I think I'd like it better.

Fair doesn't enter the picture where Stacy's concerned. Fair would've kept Stacy out of the contest. I've known for a while that Stacy had some years of dance training, but I didn't know it was 15 years and not only ballet but also jazz and tap (so yes Bruno, she should be able to do small, quick steps) followed by her stint as a pro cheerleader and as a "Nitro girl" dancer. I read an online article that basically implied she has been misrepresented as a wrestler when she's only a wrestler in the most technical sense of the word. Can anyone who does follow wrestling explain what that means? When I think of female wrestlers I think of someone like Chyna, and I can't imagine Stacy wrestling with someone like that and living to tell about it. That's the kind of woman I was expecting when the show first mentioned a wrestler in the early promos. Now watching someone like that learn to quickstep and tango would be interesting.

I kept wondering why the early bootees would complain "I'm not a professional dancer" but now I understand they were referring to Stacy. I thought they were just whining, but now I get it. After all the controversy last summer, why would ABC try to once again pull a fast one that will only end in more viewer complaints?

As far as the Camp Pendleton thing goes, that's about on the same level as P using Katrina to get votes. However, since the other contestants have had opportunities to garner votes through talk show appearances, I don't consider her appearance at a base unfair in that respect. I do think it's crummy that the producers have billed it as Stacy vs. Drew since the second week. That's so disrespectful to the others. Even more so when George asked everyone to vote for Stacy.

Knowing what I know now about Stacy's dance training, she'll never get another vote from me no matter how perfect she dances. She's a ringer. I could've choked during the segment on their training when her partner Tony claimed to have turned her into a dancer. Hey, why not cast Patrick Swayze next time? Then we can watch in amazement as his partner "teaches" him to dance.

Whoever chooses the music for these dances needs to be replaced, or at least drug tested. Why on earth would they pick "9-to-5" for a quickstep? The beat was way too slow, and it made no sense for this posh-looking couple to dance to a song about the miseries of being a working stiff.

I totally agree with what Curly said.

I just want to add, the best line of the night for me: "Nobody puts baby in a corner".

I guess I feel differently than most here. This competition is really 'just for fun.' I think its a given that the celebs will come in with different backgrounds and skill sets. None are professional ballroom dancers. I can't imagine punishing Stacey with my votes because she has a more advantageous background, or because the judges are fond of her.

Wasn't Giselle's father a professional dancer?

Even in the world of professional dancing, contestants aren't handicapped for having more years of training, or being fortunate enough to have the very best coaches, or being 'unfairly' genetically blessed with more strength, flexibility, etc..

Stacey is putting her all into this and it shows. What more can she do to deserve the win? Nothing?? Ok, that sounds real fair

I think she is a pleasure to watch and I am glad we have her this season. Just like most of the others, all in their own way.

(((Jerry got more votes than Drew, Stacy, and Lisa! Craziness! He can't dance.)))

I think it's because Jerry never danced before that he is so liked, too. Stacy and Drew have both had years of dancing, so that's probably given them a leg up, as it were! Not all football fans are into watching ballroom dancing.
Jerry will probably be gone this week or next, but I think it's been fair to have him stay this far. I also think the judges have been pretty hard on Jerry and giving too many 10's to the others. Where do you go from a 10?

How do you know Jerry got more votes than Drew and Stacy? I haven't ever heard them say that they were announcing them in order of the votes -- just the first couple that was staying, another couple that was staying, etc. We know the bottom two vote getters at the end -- but I didn't think they told us the actual order when announcing the others.

Did I miss something somewhere??

I thought he says 'in random order' when announcing....but Jerry did get more votes than Lisa cuz she had higher judge score and was still in bottom 2. She will prolly be next.

I agree that this is for entertainment, I think we get more upset at the results than they do, they seem to be rooting for each other and having fun
