I'm in Chicago. Went out here too. I don't have cable or satellite. Jbean, I'm not the only one?!

Leila is my favorite. I love her transformation ... she's so pretty.

So the predictions of Heather's rapid elimination were inaccurate. I for one am perfectly fine with her still being there. She danced well, she has showed a lot of determination and courage with her dancing and she was nice on the show. I've only watched since last season when the final three stars were men. Was there a female star in the final in prior seasons?

color, our cable company here (the ONLY one, mind you) screwed me over last year...I bought amplified antennas - they work ok. I just voted for who I wanted to stay. I don't dislike anyone of them. I am liking Joey the best so far.

Yes Jimmer, in seasons 1 (Kelly Monaco) and 2 (Stacy Kiebler) there was a female star in the finals.

Jimmer, the season before last, Stacy Kiebler (a wrestler, I think, LOL, but now she's on What About Brian) was the runner up - the competition between Stacy and her partner, and Drew Lachey and Cheryl was intense - it could have gone either way. Season one the first time winner was a female soap star - Kelly Monaco - but then there was a rematch - the guy that played elaine's boss, peterman, on seinfeld won that rematch...so yeah, I guess last season was the exception.

One of the things I really liked about Ian's dancing was that both their songs seemed to be at the correct tempo. I hate it when they slow the songs down. I remember at first I thought the band and singers were just bad, then read the article that the pro's can have the song slowed down.

Thanks. Now I'm sorry I missed the first two seasons. It's a surprisingly (at least to me) fun show to watch.

laila is so darn hot. i thought she did the best last night. i skimmed the posts above. so paulina goes? i thought shandi would go first (maybe leeza if it weren't her b-day. she does look great for her age). i remember paulina back in the early 80's and thinking how beautiful she was/is. she still is beautiful. however, i think she looked better during her rehearsals. she is a natural beauty, imo. all that makeup hides her natural beauty.

Sometimes the way Laila smiles...you can really tell who her dad is.

It should be no surprise that Paulina was the first to go. It certainly wasn't that she is a bad dancer. She was a model, and as such, she had no fan base. Very few people would know her name. And it didn't help that she was taller than her partner; I think people generally expect the man to be taller. With Clyde and Billy Ray still in the competition, Paulina didn't deserve to be the first one out.

Abby7, I must have been listening to a different Dionne! The one I heard had very little voice left. Sad.

I agree, Penpoint, that Dionne Warwick wasn't very good. To me she sounded weak and worn out. I would not have recognized her voice.

I was never a big fan of Warwick's but I thought she sounded pretty good, especially considering her age.

LOL Bastable, I guess insecure men were the majority of voters in the 2nd and 3rd seasons since they voted off men first in those seasons!

Oh please. Laila is absolutely gorgeous and danced circles around the other women.

That's perfect Colordeagua ... Laila's personality does sparkle! And she's gorgeous and so comfortable on the dance floor. She is the woman to beat!!

I haven't watched the show yet, but I think a lot of "middle America" might be put off by Laila's self-assurance and cockiness. (Not me, by the way, because I think she's just being funny.) I hope she goes far -- she is the best female dancer and she has surprised me each week. But one of my carpool members thought she was too nasty in her dance...go figure that? Isn't the mambo supposed to be pretty suggestive?

I do wonder if the results would have been different if they had stuck with a 11-10-9,etc. scoring for each part rather than the percentage calculation....

I like Laila, too. She's out to win. I kept thinking that she's her father's daughter. They go for the gold. This is a good group this year. I'm enyoying it.

Laila is stunning but I keep thinking how could she take a chance boxing...what if she broke her nose or got a "cauliflower" ear. I love her "tude". Go Laila!!

I broke my nose (car accident) 43 years ago almost to the day. Only person who ever said, "It's crooked," was an optician who was fitting me for glasses frames. It cured my childhood chronic nosebleeds. Never had another one after the break.
