You were lucky. My DD's friend's son has had his nose broken several times wrestling and it looks flat. He loves the wrestling so much, champion, that they figure he will have plastic surgery when he is older.

I thought Dionne was pretty darn great. Her voice was so much richer with age on it...beautiful!

Don't know if anyone has said it, but -- the pic up top of John and Edyta makes me laugh every time I see it!! The way John is pasted in, it looks like he's shoving Edyta out of the way by the hair (even though it's her hand, lol).

LOL Shel - That picture drove me crazy! I know that he was a replacement but I can't believe that they weren't able to get a decent publicity picture of the two of them together, prior to the first show. That is her hand by the way.

I agree wit your friend, Roxip, that part of Laila's dance was nasty, I am referring the bit (partly cut out) where he was kneeling on the floor with his head lying back and she danced her crotch over his face. Way over the top, even for the mambo. I think she danced pretty well, but she is not my favourite, her feet looked awkward. I like Apollo and Julianne, that leap they did and his dynamite smile are really star quality. I think Clyde and Elena will go next.

It's interesting how some people equate sexy with nasty.

Jimmer,I am not one who equates sexy with nasty, if that is what you're implying. I agree, sexy is what the mambo is about, and the best dancers were sexy, lovely, and really got into it, shaking and gyrating. It is not lovely to see a male dancer with his face in the crotch of the female when she passes over.

I thought it was very sexy, not nasty. I also think if anything was a bit nasty, it was the judges encouraging the dancers to make their mambos raunchier. Just something about that word raunchy...lol Not that I wouldn't mind seeing Maks or Alec get a little raunchy...lol

I hope Heather doesn't push it so far that she jeopardizes her health Amputees have to respect that stump because they are susceptible to infection. I can't imagine her quitting on a whime. If she does it will be necessary. I have to give her props for guts, but I just cannot dredge up much feeling for her or for wanting to see her on my screen. I keep thinking she's going through a really nasty divorce and where is her child? And that indeed she COULD, as she said, be making more money making appearances, so it may be costing her charities money. I really CAN imagine that some of those dances.. quickstep, jive, would be really difficult.

My dad had bad knees for years and waited way too long for knee replacement...as a result his hips subsequently had to be replaced because of the awkward disposition of his gait when his knees were bad (yes, my dad is now partially bionic). I would imagine the same thing would happen with an amputee. I hope she is able to continue without pain, or quits while she is still doing well. This takes a lot of grit and courage.

It's such a shame that Heather and Paul's marriage disintegrated in such a nasty way. It's a shame for them and it also is a shame because she is otherwise being such a positive example for people with her type of physical situation. I imagine that most of us would be cheering full out for her, if not for the marriage thing.

I dunno. I think I still have an issue with the fact that she uses disabled parking, and she clearly is quite mobile. Unless that issue has been resolved? (I've not paid attention lately.) I'm also a wee bit less impressed with her knowing that one of the primary reasons for doing this was to "improve her image in the States". And... Laila TOTALLY rocks!!!

I've been looking at Kym Johnson. She looks like she had some work done. Anyone else think so? She used to be so absolutely beautiful. Now she looks like her eyes have been pulled. She looks more like pamala Anderson

I'm curious why you would have a problem with Heather Mills using a disabled plaque, Costacat. Is that a form of judging her? I read in the other thread you don't condone judging people on reality shows, so I'm confused. She is disabled. It's possible she can only walk on her leg so many hours and it starts to hurt, so the closer she gets to stores, offices, etc. the better for her day after day. I'm not a fan of hers, but I do feel she is disabled.

I personally thought Ian and Cheryl were by far the best dance of the night tonight. I hate the judging on this show though. I should be used to the inconsistencies by now but it still drives me crazy. The fact that Heather's jive and Leeza's tango (which was probably the slowest tango I have ever seen) are tied with him is imo a joke. Apparantly, Ian and Cheryl had some big misstep at the end of the routine yet no one could see bc the camera like fell to the floor or something. Hopefully they get the encore dance tomorrow night so we can see the whole thing. Also, I know Heather only has one leg or whatever, but the judges have said they aren't going to treat her any differently, and its clear that they are. If anyone else had done a jive like hers tonight, which personally I didn't think was any better than Clydes, they would have gotten much worse scores. That just bothers me.

I enjoyed last week more. For some reason everyone seemed a bit mediocre tonight. I had to choose my votes based on how they've done overall in the past 3 weeks instead of just tonight. I liked Ohno from the ankles up, if that makes sense. He was great except for his feet which were doing something odd that I can't quite put my finger on. I liked Ian, but that camera mix-up at the end must've kept us from seeing the mistake they were talking about. And then Laila has been one of my favorites so far, but Max should've known better than to break the hold after all the fuss over Mario and Karina doing that last season. I don't know why they kept acting like Max had reason to be angry when he knew better than to do that. What's funny to me is that if you watch the real ballroom championships they dance to much more current music than they do on this show. Rock the Casbah? The Meko version of Star Wars? Are you kidding me? I thought one of the points of this series was to show ballroom dancing to today's music so the young people will appreciate it more. Strange choices.

here's the percentages...Clyde has a big deficit to make up...I think too much actually.
| pts | % of pts | Heather | 24 | 11.009% | Ian | 24 | 11.009% | Joey | 24 | 11.009% | Leeza | 24 | 11.009% | Apollo | 23 | 10.550% | Billy Ray | 21 | 9.633% | Laila | 21 | 9.633% | Shandi | 21 | 9.633% | John | 20 | 9.174% | Clyde | 16 | 7.339% | | (the gaps are wider because it's only one weeks totals and one less person remember...)

I would expect Clyde to stay, just because of big sportsfan base. I'm really hoping Shandi goes. I actually thought her dance tonight was really good, I just can't quite get over a feeling of distaste for her and her partner. I would hate to see any of the others go, aside from Clyde or Shandi.
