I'm just so amazed that Jerry has so many fans watching this show, which according to news articles has a predominantly female 30+ audience. I guess a whole lot more women are into football these days. Ah, well. As long as Drew's still in it I have someone to vote for. It was interesting that every time Jerry's wife was shown, the audience would scream and cheer louder than for anyone else, and they even drowned out Len's compliments for him so you could barely hear what he was saying. He must have a hard core fan base that's been going unrecognized. Chalupa, I think you're right about them not saying bottom two, but I thought she did say that she was announcing in random order the first two couples who were definitely moving on. I was assuming (which I know is often foolish to do) that the random order only applied to them, as usual. Carrie Ann has been very supportive of Stacy's dances throughout, so for her to make that comment was silly. I was waiting for her to end with "Maybe she's just jealous." It was Len who was critical of her in the beginning, while Carrie Ann was all compliments. But of course, since Carrie Ann's a woman, she can't give criticism without being accused of having some personal issue with her. Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when the two men made fun of a woman for the way she walked, but when Elaine did it they called her catty. Once again, Bruno's comments about Stacy's strengths were all about his attraction to her and nothing about her dancing. Now personally if I had to pick someone to envy it would be Cheryl. I'd love to have her figure and her amazing talent. I thought Bergeron's dance was cute. He showed that he really did learn how to quickstep and not just fake it. Good for him. When one of them commented on how these were the best dancers in the competition, I couldn't help thinking of Giselle.

It may be that Carrie Ann sees the obvious discrimination towards Stacy that Bruno shows, and is trying to be more realistic about things. Stacy isn't that great of a dancer (there *is* more to it than being able to put one foot in front of another). But Carrie Ann has, consistently, complimented Stacy and rarely said anything negative about her. In fact, I think last night was the first time I heard her say much of anything that could be construed as negative (at least in a long while). And really, all it was was trying to understand that "angry face" (which some of us also didn't get!). Buggles, I'm just watching it now. *Who* said "if you think it's obvious who's gonna win..."? I wanna be sure to watch for it.

Y'know... Drew and Cheryl's rhumba really IS smokin' hot! Yowie! And, in this case, I think Len recognized the joke was on him. Good for him for giving those two a well-deserved standing ovation. And smiling!

Hi Costa, sorry it was Carrie Ann... something like this. Hope you caught it. I will say, I don't like how Bruno kind of taunts Carrie Ann, like he wants to upset or ruffle her when he drools over Stacy... its so annoying when men are that way. I don't mind that he displays a fondness for Stacy, its just that attitude toward Carrie Ann, regardless of whether she is jealous Bottom line though, I truly feel that all three of these judges have been and will be fair. Really

I apologize in advance 'cuz I'm sure I'll be taken to task ... but ... somebody stop Lisa from ever using collagen again. She looks like she's been whacked in the mouth with a frying pan. I know. I'm not being politically correct ... but please: "No More Collagen!"

It's interesting, but at first Lisa's lips bothered me a lot, but as I have been swept away into her dancing, I don't really notice them anymore! I finally was able to watch the end of my tape of Friday's show (once I realized Lisa had lost, I walked away). I thought it was very moving and touching, especially liked when Louis said Lisa was "his favorite student" and Lisa referred to the two of them as "soul mates", and then husband Harry Hamlin comes out at very end...whole thing beautifully timed out....I just wanted to see Harry sweep her into a few waltz steps! I feel very sad that Lisa won't get to achieve that elusive ten that was almost hers! I admire Louis as a choreographer, and thought some of Bruno's comments on that on thursday were right on target.

Why would Carrie Ann be jealous of Stacy? If anything it would be the other way around, since Carrie Ann is having the career Stacy trained for. A professional choreographer for movies and television, a regular slot on a hit show, and she's hardly a dog. Mind you, I don't think Stacy's jealous of Carrie Ann, but at least that would be more logical. Only someone who sees Carrie Ann as being somehow inferior to Stacy would think she was jealous. What would that inferiority be? I just don't get it. I still think that's just a cop out people use to keep women from speaking their minds. Was Len accused of being jealous of Jerry? No. Was Bruno accused of being jealous of Drew? No. It's sad that before you give an honest opinion about another female you have to think twice for fear of being accused of jealousy, which is really just a backhanded way of letting you know the accuser sees you as inferior. Look at all the comments on Lisa's lips. I don't chalk that up to jealousy. I honestly believe these people have a problem with her lips and aren't just saying that because they secretly wish they could be her. Okay, I'd better get off of my soapbox before I bore myself to sleep. Meanwhile I took a visit for the first time to the Soap Talk forum and can't believe how many cruel posts there are celebrating Lisa Rinna's loss to Jerry. Why would people who hate her so much be spending time posting on a forum for her show? A neat discovery: Check out the BBC website for Strictly Come Dancing and you can see video clips where Len teaches the basic moves for each dance, followed by a full dance routine by two professionals. I also noticed from the clips of their show that they used the same songs and arrangements as Dancing With the Stars.

Lisa left with grace. I was teary eyed, esp when I saw Louie get so chocked up he couldn't talk...she is a winner in my book

Whoa... I would never consider someone 'inferior,' or try to stifle women's opinions. no, no, no. Women can be critical of other women and not be jealous (I am) It is not a bald assumption, it is my interpretation of how Carrie Ann relates to Stacy, or to Bruno when he is drooling over... Uh, let's see. Carrie Ann might be jealous of Stacy because 'all of the men in America,' incl. her male colleagues, are drooling over Stacy and not her. Stacy is the star of this show, as they say. Curly, I think you even said they brought Stacy on as this season's T&A draw? Personally I don't think Stacy is all that much more attractive than Carrie Ann physically. I think Edyta is more striking. Stacy has that personality though that most men love and given her pin-up history its clear many are digging her looks... Ita that Carrie Ann has things that Stacy could be jealous of. Anyone could be jealous of anyone, imho. I am just not seeing any hint that Stacy is... Men do get accused of jealousy. Take Simon Cowell of AI. He gets accused when he is hypercritical of some of the young studs. Usually I agree there too... its written all over his face. And it can be totally 'irrational' - the kid may be less appealing to women, less successful, etc. Maybe he's jealous of their age. I actually sense that Samantha is more jealous of Stacy than Carrie Ann, fwiw. Anyway, who cares right I agree that Lisa showed great class

Stacy does NOTHING for me.. She walked into this situation and has done VERY well but frankly I think she's come to think of herself as even better than she actually is and reacted rather poorly to Carrie Ann daring to offer some actual criticism. But I'm sure it is encouraged for them to be a little like American Idol contestants who are sure they know so much more than any judge who has an actual suggestion/criticism. So she acted awfully full of herself.. like all she wants is to hear gushing praise and get 10 scores. I'm not a fan of Lisa or her lips but she ceratinly left gracefully.

I think Stacey was genuinely shaken up tonight. Right after they announced Jerry's name, Tom was saying "after this message we'll see who will be eliminiated" and Stacey looked at her partner and mouthed "I think it's me." My husband and I both saw it and said it out loud. She always comes off as very confident, but I think they actually made her nervous tonight. Also - besides the comment about Carrie Ann being out to get her, I thought Stacy was also kind of rude talking about her partner (sorry I can't think of his name). They make him out to be a horror. Sad for Lisa - she went out with TONS of class! Loved Drew & Cheryl tonight.

Just a thought: I don't usually go for the conspiracy theory but... do you think the producers just made it look like Stacey was in the bottom 2 tonight to stir up a sympathy vote/storyline next week?

could very well be, katie. samantha did say, in random order. i don't think anyone is jealous of lisa (of us) and why would anyone want her lips. they droop on one side. there is a host on qvc, lisa robertson, she botox's her lips. i saw her one night and her lip drooped so bad. it looked terrible. Go Drew! just like in american idol, lisa's fan base will be loyal to whom?

Did it bug anyone else that at least two judges talked about Stacy's "natural" talent? Hello -- dance classes at age 3????? Talent that is developed may have a base in "natural" but it IS developed through practice! Sad to see Lisa go -- especially when she dances so much better than Jerry. I do like Jerry's spirit and attitude, though, so I hope he does well in the finals. Guess I'm rooting for DREW as winner now.

In her blog (thanks for link above, Texannie), Lisa says that she and Louis will be on Good Morning America and "a few other shows" this coming week, starting Monday. Any idea what the "other shows" might be? Thanks!

It seemed to me that they were really downplaying Stacy in the results show. Anyone else think so? When they asked the judges who really impressed them last night - one answered Jerry, one Drew and one Lisa. Then during the montage about how the contest has affected their families/friends, very little was said about Stacy...lots of time spent on the other 3. Do you think that the producers have realized that the public sees that this "contest" has been slanted HEAVILY in Stacy's favor?
