I'm thankful at least that I cast half my votes for Willa (the other half for Monique). I think they said the Willa/Max would be on Jimmy Kimmel later tonight? I'm really disturbed to see Sara still there...never been in the bottom two...how far can she go on just fan base?

Well at least he's trying ... However, I think that the judges are going to assure that he goes home next week the same way they did with Master P .... if they give him incredibly low scores, it won't matter what the "fans" vote.

I was surprised that Jerry wasn't voted off last week. He said he wanted to learn the waltz ... he learned it.

I agree - it's totally a popularity contest and Springer has probably got the most fans. How on earth are they ever going to get rid of the worst dancer on that show?!! Unbelievable that he's still there, week after week. Willa and Maks were most definitely NOT the worst there this week... not by a long chalk.

Alliet, read the "how to" in my post two above your's. They did it with Master P last year .. it means that Jerry will get 2s and 3s next week.

Even if I did watch Jerry Springer, and I never EVER do, I wouldn't watch him now. I'm so disgusted with him still being in the competition, I'd boycott him forever.
</snarky comment>

I'm not even sure if giving him the lowest scores next week will get him off the show. As Woofy said, he'd have to get 2's and 3's, and I'm not sure the judges will do that. Especially after letting him the encore tonight. (And oh yes, to me, it was just as painful as last night and yes, I walked out of the room.)

Springer's dancing has been pretty poor since the beginning (from what I have seen of the show) so it's unbelievable that he's still there. I am sure he feels the same way.

I don't think the judges will give Jerry the Master P treatment. If they wanted him off they wouldn't have given him all 8's yesterday. It's sad, but for whatever reason Jerry has enough people willing to keep him on the show so they'll have someone to laugh at. This means the rest of us get one less truly enjoyable performance to watch as good dancers get sacrificed in his place. The only way I can think of for Jerry to go is for the fans who want him gone to vote, vote, vote for everyone except him. I'm sure he's a very nice man, and he seemed to feel guilty when Willa was announced, but he keeps flip-flopping. One week he complains of pain and wants to go right after the waltz. Then he says he wants to keep going. Then he says it's painful again and acts like he's ready to go.

It looked like Edyta and Karina were in tears when they announced Willa and Max were out. People have said she grew as a dancer, but didn't she always give solid performances? The biggest change I noticed in her was that she stopped throwing tantrums in rehearsal.

Really I think her main obstacle was her status as a virtual unknown, made worse by the way she initially spoke of herself as if she was well-known as the "bad girl of pop." Costacat said "She seems to be very good on promoting herself, and sometimes, that matters more than whether you have talent or not." Yet the most asked question of the season was "Who's Willa Ford?"

I think Willa was an excellent dancer and I am sorry to see her go. I was throwing her a vote these past few weeks.

That said, I am glad we will get to see more of Kym. She has become one of my faves - she is adorable and fun and SO good. I love how she always gets into a totally new and different 'character' with each dance and plays it to perfection. She puts Jerry in the best possible light and really deserves a ton of credit, imho.

I think all of the women were in tears. And Kym really looked guilty, too.

I think Jerry is pulling the sour grapes/sweet lemons thing. The "I don't want what I can't have" therefore "since I'm sure I'm going next week I'm gonna say I wanna go" and then when he doesn't get kicked off, suddenly thinks he wants to stay. But then reason prevails and he remembers he's the worst dancer and goes back to the "I don't wanna be here anymore" pity party. Bleah. If he really wanted to go, he'd be telling his fans to NOT vote for him. Not telling them to vote (as he did last night).

I didn't know much about Willa before the season. But google her and check out all her appearances. She's actually been around the industry a while, and that's what I meant about promoting herself. (Unfortunately, she didn't promote herself enough to get more fans calling for her than Jerry had calling for him.)

Truly, now that I've seen the show, I'm disgusted. Disgusted with the judges for giving him 8's last night (even for pure entertainment only, I don't think his "dance" justified scores that high).

And if he ends up in the final 2, I'm just gonna sit back and laugh. The judges created the monster, encouraging him (and likely, encouraging Kym).

I'm afraid this is going to end with who has the biggest fan base vs who is really the better dancer. Sorry to see Willa leave, she at least was getting better each week. Sara and Jerry have flatlined as far as I'm concerned.

I overheard 2 women in the grocery store the other day saying that every redneck with a phone in America is voting for Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. I admit I snickered.

Kym overdances to make up for Jerry's obvious lack of skill and stamina. Jerry has a huge fan base (isn't his show popular? Is it still on?)... we may have to sit through his bogus dancing till the finals! What if he wins!? Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Was anyone else watching Willa and Maksim on Jimmy Kimmel tonight? Kimmel tried to pull the old "women didn't vote for you because they're threatened by you" crap, but she said she thinks women were voting for Mario and Jerry. He kept trying to find out what's going on between her and Maksim, but they were being coy. Maksim said they never spent time together not reheasing, but made it sound like he had future plans for her.

It's 'funny' that Jerry somehow became the 'darling' of the competition when he has the sleaziest show on free television.

Jerry is this season's George Hamilton. Regardless of his fan base, the guy is giving it his all and seems to be having a great time doing it while not taking himself to seriously.
If anyone noticed, when it was announced that Willa was leaving, he said 'that is just wrong'.

I really wish Samantha would NOT ask the dancers about their personal relationships. It bothers the hell out of me.

And as for Jerry, what can he do? It's not like he can just walk away from the comp, as I'm sure its outlined in his contract that he can't do that. I don't really ever see him pleading for votes more than anyone else. He can't help that people are voting for him and he looked shocked and saddened that Willa was leaving instead of him. I thought he was very classy last night.

And quite honestly, it doesn't matter to me the order in which everyone leaves as long as the best pairs are in the finals. To me, those are Monique and Louis and unfortunately, as much as he annoys me, Mario and Karina. I'm still up in the air about the third couple but for me, I think it's Emmit and Cheryl. I really didn't think Willa would make the finals, so as saddened as I am that she is gone (and honestly most of that is due to not being able to look at pretty Maks anymore), I think it will all work out in the end.

ETA Tex I saw that too. It made me respect him even more.

Texannie said: "Jerry is this season's George Hamilton. Regardless of his fan base, the guy is giving it his all and seems to be having a great time doing it while not taking himself to seriously." I think so too; judges remarked how he actually gets the basics right, and then adds entertainment value. Major difference there between him and Master P, who wouldn't even wear the right kind of shoes, for gosh's sake! I'm not too worried about Jerry going before the final, he's already been in the bottom two I think twice....but I am worried about Sara being in the final. NEVER has been in the bottom two, even with low judges scores, and we have no idea of her fan base.

Saw Willa/Max on Jimmy Kimmel last night, and then again on Good Morning America this am between 8:30am-9am segment. Not really anything new on GMA. Max looked bleary-eyed, it was 5:30 AM out in Calif after all (although he said 4 am) and hadn't been to sleep yet. Willa looked amazingly bright and perky, and did most the talking. The one thing they started to ask Max, which I wish they had elaborated on, was his experience of dancing this show the three different "seasons". I have been trying to remember Max's previous partners, can anyone jog my mind?

I am disgusted. I don't see why Jerry's fans continue to keep him in the competition. Can't they see he is ready to go and seems embaressed to still be there? I just don't understand it. Popularity can get you far, huh? It's like high school, deserving or not, popular people rule the roost.

Maxsim's partner in Season 2 was Tia Carrere. Maxsim was not a dance partner to any of the stars on Season 1.

Thanks, Costacat!

The thing I remember most vividly about Max season 2 was when students from his dance school performed, including I think his younger brother? Was very impressive!
