Hi Sincebb1,
Let me see if I can answer your questions.
The last three left standing were Tia and P and Tatum (although Tia's being one of last three didn't mean anything about her "standing", since supposedly all but the last two are random order). I was really worried for Tia at that point, but they released her, leaving P and Tatum as the last two couples. This is very subjective, but P seems to maintain a nonchalent attitude at all times, whereas Tatem obviously wanted to stay in and seemed quite sad. I thought the host Tom Bergeron was really good in saying that he doesn't know the results til he makes the announcement and that he was "shocked" that she was the one going home. He also said that he would have rated her higher than the 3 judges (didn't use the word judges, said something like "those people over there). I agree: I think they rated her too high the first week and too low this week. With P and Tatum within one point via judges' score, not surprised sadly that she was out instead of P, because he obviously has big fan base. Tom was really being gentle with Tatum, said maybe her dance partner (don't remember his name) could take her dancing off-show. they segued to Tatum's final dance, gentle waltz style, for a moment or two, and then I was glad to see that ALL the contentestants encircled the two of them to offer individual hugs. I actually thought it was rather touching at the end.

In the article he talks about getting paid, do you think he was joking? I had never heard they got paid

Wouldn't they get minimum scale like they do when they appear on the Tonite show or Letterman?

I would hope they're getting paid. Doing all this for nothing but that trophy would mean they were just really desperate for camera time. Don't most competitive reality shows pay the contestants according to how long they stay in? It gives them incentive to not give up.

Clutterfree, thanks for sharing the article. That was interesting to read, and almost makes me wish he'd stayed longer. The way they edited his rehearsal footage on the show made it look like he really wasn't taking it seriously and didn't want to be there, but this article makes it sound like he really was trying.

To add to Clutter's summary of the end of the results show... It actually started out as a gigantic group hug! Everyone came and circle Tatum and her partner. It really seemed like everyone was surprised she was going home.

I'm not surprised P is still there. He obviously has a bunch of people voting for him (surprisingly, cause I bet they'd never watched this show before, too!). But his 'tude is really irritating me. I had decided after this past week, that I would keep a "wait and see" one more week. Since I gave him credit for not having had all the practice that the others had. And he did improve somewhat this week over the first. But... I really hate the attitude. And the constant "I'm only in this for people in the 'hood" bahooey. I'm a firm believer of the "if you don't really wanna be on this reality show, get the heck out so someone who wants to be there can!"

And Clutter, thanks for posting that article. Sounds like they can actually get paid quite a bit for participating (if he's only doing it for the money!)

The doctor who did Lisa's lip augmentation should be punished. Her body says she is a young woman but her lips give her the appearance of an over 50, fading actress desperately trying to look sexy or younger. They are truely hideous.

P must have a huge fan base to still be around but I question if rap fans watch this show in numbers high enough to make a difference.

My favorites, so far, are Gizelle and Stacy. George Hamilton is too old and not in good enough shape to be on this show.

Only 3 returning dancers this season and you would think that they would have given Ashlee and Edyta better partners since they got such losers last time. I wonder how the decisions were made on who from last year would repeat. There is a danger in the audience voting for the instructor if favorites emerge. I suspect that is the reason they gave Charotta a pass. I suppose that there is the possibility that some of them were already scheduled for competions or events.

Chiming in to say that it makes me mad that they keep giving LIsa such low scores. I think she is doing really nicely!

Master P does aggravate me with his attitude about the shoes and liked when the judge called him on it" would you wear ballroom shoes to play basketball?" loved that!

I think Giselle has a phenomenal body but there is something about her that irks me...maybe she is too rigid when she dances...can't put my finger on it..she always looks forced.

Drew and the wrestler blonde are my faves! I think they are the ones to beat.

Lisa's lips have been that way since the 90's , I think I read they are real.

Clutter~ Thanks for the summery! Did Tatum get to say anything? I was wondering how she handled it?

I must say I am beyond disappointed that Kenny was the first to go! I thought that at least he tried. I would much rather see if someone like him (no rhythm but good attitude)could get better...than see if P decides he is going to take it seriously and maybe respect his instructor and the viewing public!

I am double disappointed that Tatum was the one to go before P AGAIN! The fact that P won't even wear the proper shoes is just infuriating! You need to slide and bend your foot in ballroom and with those clompy shoes he has no flexibility! I really cringe when I see his feet, that are as big as Ashlee's calf, coming dangerously close to stepping on her, cause he can't get the proper speed to go around her with his feet "Velcro-ed" to the floor! He would surely break her leg !

I just love George, but it is too bad he needs a village to crank him up! Both he and Kenny make me laugh! Maybe next year they can ask Pierce Brosnan or Sean Connery! I could see them excelling and being entertaining!

I have to agree that Lisa's lips are real. I was a huge days of our lives fan years ago when Lisa first started appearing on that show in the very early 90's (maybe very late 80's can't remember when she started on there.) and she had those lips back then. Some people are just born with large lips.

A friend of mine has those lips and she is in her 70's...but now she has the weight to fill out her face so it isn't as noticeable.

What an injustice that P is still in this compitition! He behaves as if he is just too cool to be there. His dancing style reminds me of Peter Boyle doing "Puttin on the Ritz" in Young Frankenstein.

Yup -- She's had them over 20 years. :-) I'm a Day's fan too, and she's always had them.

So she had them done 20 years ago. They cannot be real, really. Does no one else see that!

She's had those lips for over 20 years, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're real. I remember reading an interview where she said they were real and that everyone in her family has those lips, but then I saw one of those Lifetime Intimate Portrait shows on her where they showed photos of her when she first started out. Normal upper lip, and she looked beautiful. You can see at least one of those photos if you google "Lisa Rinna lips." I still like her and her enthusiasm, so I don't care what her lips look like as long as she dances well. What I don't understand is how a woman who worked as a soap actress and once posed for Playboy while 7 months pregnant could have trouble with her sensuality.

About the repeating dancers, there are actually 4 that came back (including Louis and Jonathan). Only Alec and Charlotte did not, presumably because they had already won and they would be favored by the audience. While I agree that Edyta drew the short straw last time, I wouldn't say Ashly was stuck with a loser in Joey McIntyre. I always thought he deserved Kelly's spot in the final two. I hope Drew doesn't suffer the same fate he did.

Has anyone read the blogs at the abc website? Louis has a couple of entries explaining what's been going on with Lisa Rinna behind the scenes. It sounds like they're going to be dancing the jive this week rather than the tango.

Sincebb1, you asked what Tatum said at the end. I replayed my tape before erasing, and she actually said very little; the hosts did most the talking. She said "I tried...what are you going to do?"...and then the "I'm an actor" line as she covered her face with her hands just before Tom Bergeron made the comments about not agreeing with the judges. Tatum said "I am going to miss dancing with Nick. It has been such a pleasure." And when the hostess (don't know her name) asked if maybe she could dance with partner Nick off the show, she said "Maybe he'll take me on the pro-am tour," as a kind of joke...they then asked her to dance her final dance, a slow dance in that beautiful "butterfly" sea-green gown.

Thanks, Bonzacat. Hey, doesn't she kind of look like Ashly in that first one?

Thanks again Clutter! Guess Tatum was too sad to say much. I don't blame her! She should have lasted past P!

I do think Lisa has had her lips enhanced. I believe that from the looks, she has had the permanent kind (like alloderm) as opposed to the short term injections. Before recently, the permanent fillers could not be removed. Now they have new kinds that can be adjusted if the results are not good.
