I wasn't sure of having Tom host either, but the peanut line made it alllll worthwhile! LOL The gal, on the other hand, could leave and no one would miss her -- but that was the same last season, too.

I like Tom Bergeron. Can't tolerate Saget cuz of stupid jokes / lines on AFV. But then Bergeron says same stupid stuff so guess it's the writers on AFV. But...I like Bergeron.

Bergeron is a funny guy.

A facelift ! DUH, So that is why Barry looks so strange to me. It never dawned on me that he would actually have a facelift. He wasn't eye candy befo
re, but now, Lawd Jesus. I like his voice , but put a sack over that mug.

Jerry did well...they all liked his performance (paso doble) and said he had "the attitude." He got the same score as last week I believe (23) as did George. Lisa and Louis were next w/their quickstep -- they got ALL compliments and a 27. Stacy and Drew both got all compliments as well and tied with 30 points. After the unscored Viennese Waltz, the judges commented positively on Drew, Stacy and Lisa.

Hope that helps. :-) (Now I'm off to watch my tivo'd Survivor! I'm tired of avoiding that area of TVCH! LOL)

Tabby, didn't see Jerry dance, but caught the judging. They gave him good comments, but mentioned some flubbed steps. The scores were 8 from the female (sorry, forgetting names here, 7 from the old guy, and 8 from the dramatic guy for an overall 23.

Jerry and George were pretty equal this week. Jerry's done better in past dances. He basically walked around the floor, as did George. You could tell Anna was peeved that they got the same score as last week, but at least this time George wasn't scored above them.

It'll end up being between Stacy and Drew in the end, unless the fans pull off a surprise. I'm sending Drew the votes I had given Tia. Now that he's got his posture fixed he's even better than ever.

I'm looking forward to this later! I had to tape because I was tied up this evening with various matters. Because of Dancing, I haven't even had a chance to look in on Survivor; I'll have to catch up somewhere down the line!

I have really liked Drew since the beginning, but Stacey has effectively won me over -- man, is she good.

This show has some very funny unscripted moments. Today's gem: when Len said Edyta 'flatulated' all around George

I thought Drew and Cheryl did exceptionally well tonight and deserved the 30 score they received. Stacy and her partner also deserved the 30 they received. I really like Lisa and her partner and thought both she and Jerry with his partner deserved better scores than they received. George and Edyta did well with the storyline they had for their dance and it was pure theater but not quite as impressed with his actual dancing as the other teams.

I think giving perfect scores is a mistake...I don't believe any of these dances has been perfect yet. And what the heck was George doing during the Viennese Waltz?

A couple of miscellaneous thoughts...

I think that was a cheap trick of Stacy to go to Camp Pendleton. She has, essentially, increased the number of people who will vote for her. There is no way she is going to lose this competition now. And I think that's cheating. And a low blow.

George is fun to watch but he is NOT a dancer. If George doesn't go this week, then something is seriously wrong. Jerry's dance was a bit boring, but he's actually done a good job in the past.

I'm with Rox on the 30's. I don't think any couple has ever done a perfect dance. That said, I really loved Drew and Cheryl this week.

And finally, I am SO over Bruno's infatuation with Stacy. Seriously. She ain't really all that, and I'm so tired of his gushing fawning babbling.

I had high hopes for this season and I've been pretty disappointed. Once again, it's a popularity contest. And I think it's unfairly weighted against certain contestants.

Costacat, I'm with you on the Camp Pendleton thing. However, I don't blame Stacey for that. It's obviously the producers who set up all those little field trips and everything that goes on in the training videos. What bothers me is that the producers and judges are literally selling Stacey to us as the winner. When I saw that they were going to visit troops, I immediately thought "could they be doing anything else to sell her as the all-american girl who they want to win."

What's sad is that I know she's talented, but all the selling and fawning over her makes me NOT like her. I don't want the judges to tell me who I should vote for. I'm going to pick that. The constant praise of her makes me dislike every one of her dances. It's almost like I see her dance, think hey that was pretty good, then hear the judges and immediately go back to not wanting her to win.

I think Stacy being on the program is unfair from the get-go. To have someone with all that dance training reeks of favoritism. I'm not at all enamored of Stacy, and feel the show's been rigged to favor her winning from day one.

The other couples are trying (I don't count George, although I adore him,he probably should be the one to go this week).

I also agree that I don't think that anyone has done a perfect dance yet. To give Stacy a 30 on that pitifully slow jive was laughable. Did you notice the difference between the professionals doing the jive example and her actual dance?

I'll still watch, and am rooting for Lisa and Louie to win, it's going to come down to fan base in the end.

I agree with that too, Misspoufy. When Bruno said last night that that the way she holds her arms is like a beautiful ballerina, I yelled "Well that's what 15 years of ballet lessons will do for you" LOL

I also think the 30's are a bit out of control. It's obvious when you watch the professionals that everyone has things they can improve on. That reminds me of Carrie Ann's comments last week that Stacey was getting better than some of the professionals on the show. That was completely uncalled for and if I was a professional who has been training my whole life in this dance I would be so insulted. I also believe I read somewhere that the other celebs and pro's had some things to say about it on like Entertainment Tonight or something. I think Drew said something like how it was weird of her to say that when it's obvious that the pro's have to dance down a little to their celebs level. I think its comments like that to Stacey that really make me not want to like her. Which sucks, because when she's not dancing she seems like a genuinely nice and fun person, but she will never get my vote.

i agree that visiting camp pendleton and looking like a playboy model for all those mostly males in uniform will garner stacy tons of votes. not that she needs them, and she does have an icredible body, but it does seem a little unfair.

now she has 42 inch legs and 42 million men!
i have 31 inch legs and 31 days in most months to only dream of all those men!

LOVED the professional couples' dancing tonight!!

For some reason, although I really liked Lisa & Louis with their quickstep, I did NOT like their choice of music, that "9 to 5" song. For some reason, it kept distracting me and didn't really seem to fit the dancing.

In the spotlight numbers for the final waltz, I liked Lisa and Louis the BEST, with Stacy second, and Drew third. I was surprised none of the judges mentioned L & L in their waltz comments. George I think realized he couldn't do the lifts the other men were doing, so clowned it up for audience appeal, and he is appealing. I love also that this event has meant so much to George. I think he must know he won't win, but is having the time of his life while there. I do think it is sadly probably time for him to go; I would hate to see Jerry or heaven forbid Lisa voted out tonight.

Does anyone know who chose the dance styles for the participants? I dont't think it was stated? Did they choose for themselves, or were they given the dance they had to dance?

Clutter, they made a comment either last week or week before that they music is given to them by the producers, they don't have a say on what music they get. Until last week there were two dances and they could choose which they wanted to do. This week I'd bet they were given the dance and music, and it was one they hadn't previously done.

I have to say, I don't care for Stacey much and feel her dance training gives her an unfair advantage. I like the couples who have to work to learn how to be graceful, etc much better.

I was glad to hear that they pro's can have the music slowed down, I just thought the orchestra was bad!!! I thought Stacey's jive was awful since the music was so obviously slowed down!!

totally agree that 9 to 5 was very distracting music. I keep wondering why they don't have more appropriate music for the couples, must be a copyright thing.

Two things that I find annoying...the musical selections that do not fit the dance and the questionable camera work. I really wanted to see Lisa and Louis fly up those stairs. Too bad for me. Ha!

Still rooting for Drew even though Stacey is very talented. Gotta give credit where it's due darn it all.

I think they have been told which dances they have to do now, since each couple has to do each dance.

And Carrie Ann did comment on Louis and Lisa's Viennese Waltz solo, didn't she? Something about them taking a risk?

I really wasn't all that impressed with Stacy's jive or Lisa's quick step. They seemed "incomplete" to me somehow.

I'm rooting for Drew. I think I would've like Stacy a lot more, but I'm so over all the fawning (and I do think that Camp Pendleton visit was totally unfair).

I agree with everyone. One word came to mind while watching Stacy's Jive - Gangly. Tony (Stacy's partner) danced at a much higher level of skill on the PBS American Ballroom Challenge, so much so that I almost didn't realize it was the same person. There is no way that Stacy is as good as his partner on that show!

I love watching Louis dance, his footwork and hip movement are captivating. However, I think he and Cheryl were a better pairing last week for the professional dance.
