There will be 3 couples in the finale as far as I know. There were three last year as well, Drew, Jerry and Stacy. All 3 danced in the final competition show and then in the big finale they all danced again, Stacy was eliminated about halfway through that show, and then it was down to Drew and Jerry.

So I guess it would be about the halfway point. 4 have been eliminated, 4 more will go, and then we will have 3 finalists.

And Brenda...I totally agree with you about Jerry. I judge couples by whether or not I change the channel while watching them bc there are too many shows on at that time to watch and record so I always end up flipping to one during DWTS. Usually if all the dancing is good I only switch during commercials, but sometimes if a couple is boring the hell out of me I switch it then.

This week I changed the channel during Sarah's performance and believe it or not Marios. Sarah just has absolutely NO personality that comes through when she dances. It's kind of the same way I felt about Stacy when she danced last year. I got absolutely nothing from her, but at least she had the dance skills going for her. Sarah doesn't even have that in my mind. It looks like she is moving in slow motion every week compared to the other teams, and quite frankly, I never thought Tony was a good choreographer and I don't think he is coming up with good routines for her.

Extra just reported that judge Karri Ann is dating Artem from So You Think You Can Dance. Karri Ann is a guest. She says that Jerry comes up to the judges every week and thanks them. Mario says that he and his partner are not an item. That's all I paid attention to.

I did see Jerry do that at the very end of the competition show on Tues night. Right after they announced the final scores and Tom signed off for the night, all the dancers were milling around, going to talk to their families and friends. I saw Lisa Rinna grab Jerry and say "That was so fun...so fun!" and then I saw Jerry go over to the judges table and shake each judge's hand. It was very nice.

LOL Necie...I've just never personally been a fan of Tony's choreography. He never seems to do anything fun or make the personalities of his partners stand out. I'd take a Louis or a Maks over him any day.

Sara Evans has just quit the show. I heard it on local L.A. news, KABC - just now. The release issued by the show said it was for "personal reasons" and there was no more information given. They have no plans to replace her. The reporter speculated that it's because she is going through a divorce, but he was clear that it was speculation only at this point.

Necie, Artem was in LAST season's So You Think You Can Dance, wonderful ballroom specialist. He was around this season in some of the practice sessions, coupling up with instructor Mary to demonstrate the ballroom moves to the dancers.

I wonder what Karri Ann's background is? I suppose I should venture over to the official site to see! It was refreshing to see her on Extra, even if only briefly. And Roteach, you're right, that's about all that was said: Karri Ann confirming that she's dating Artim and Mario vigorously saying he and Kartina are NOT dating. No mention of Willa ousting, oddly.

I stayed around the other entertainment shows tonight, to see if they had any followup on Willa. Lisa Rinna, hosting for Entertainment Tonight, just announced Willa's departure almost as an afterthought along with other news, so I guess they didn't get an interview. Odd, because I see Lisa there every week, even with Harry having departed.

On my NBC affiliate's entertainment show (I'm drawing a blank as to name), they had an on-the-spot interview with Willa and Max on the stage right after elimination. Willa said she had had a "woman's intuition" moment going into last night, although Max didn't really believe she would go. So Willa said she wasn't that surprised. She said she and Max would "be seeing a lot of each other". And when Max was asked what he would take away from the show, he asked: "From the experience, or from Willa". The interviewer clarified "from Willa", and he grinned and said he "Willa!" herself was what he would take away. Nice short piece, better than the GMA piece this AM.

Just saw Bonzacat's post as my post came up... oh my goodness. I wonder what they will do if they don't replace Sara? Not oust anyone this week? Or just shorten the season?

Being in the minority and liked Sara, but maybe it's for the best. Her dancing wasn't the greatest and her fans were gonna keep her around for another show or two.

Maybe they'll bring Ashly back! I can only hope.

At least Sara left on a solid note; if that "Phantom" number had been the last for her to remember, it would have been too sad.
The pace was picking up this week with 2 numbers et al, maybe that factored into her decision.

I wish they would bring back Willa.

Well, if she did leave because of a nasty divorce...who could blame her....maybe that and maybe she realized that she really wasn't good enough to continue on. Now it makes me wonder if she would have been even better had she not been distracted by this and whatever else might be going on.

I don't think reading a few posts about how she "sucks" would be enough to send her packing, Pamy. I'm sure she's heard worse from music critics. Besides, you know what they say about her fans...it only galvanizes them into action.

Yes, it seems to be because of filing for divorce

http://tinyurl.com/w3qgj

Country star Sara Evans has decided to pull out of the Dancing with the Stars competition due to personal reasons, an ABC spokesperson confirms to PEOPLE. In a statement released by her personal rep, it was revealed that Evans had filed for divorce from husband Craig Schelske on Thursday.

Evans, 35, who's the mother of three young children (ranging in age from 2 to 7), made the decision to leave the show "to give her family her full attention at this difficult time," it said in the statement. "Ms. Evans hopes her fans and TV viewers ... will respect and understand her need for privacy in the face of these recent events."

The singer, who was partnered with professional dancer Tony Dovolani, will make her final appearance on the show on October 17. "This has really taken me by surprise," Dovolani told PEOPLE about her departure.

what odd timing


"We are not together," Mario promised. "They should edit a DVD or behind-the-scenes footage, where she's yelling at me, scolding me and I'm accidentally kicking her and punching her in the face. Trust me, we're barely friends!"

Mario, I think thou doth protest too much!

Well, I really hope that Sara gets through this hard time with flying colors. I say bravo to her for putting her children first. I thought she was a stiff dancer,but I really like her personality. She seems like a sweet lady.

I hope that the pressure on her marriage was not due to the fact of all of the fake romances being put together by the show. Alot of the stars were being paired romantically and the stars who were married seemed really nervous about the situations.
Sara and her husband met when they both were trying to be singers and only Sara's voice took off. He tried to run for congress in Oregon. She and the children live in Franklin, TN.
I wonder if their realtionship was shaky to begin with? No wonder she was stiff on the dance floor, maybe her husband was looking for something that was not there. She is very pretty in real life and she has looked very very tired since she has started the show. She was voted the second prettiest woman in Nashville behind Faith Hill.

Angel - I live in the Nashville area and have heard the rumors and I at first did not believe them but I guess it was true. One of the rumors that I heard were that her hubby was using the show as a part of the child custody case. If that is true no wonder she left the show.

It seems to me, that even with the show, she was trying to spend as much time as she could with her family. That may be why she looked like she needed to loosen up on the show, she had a lot of stress going on. Her husband knows she is in the entertainment industry,he should be supportive of putting her face out there for more recognition. The more people that know you in one genre, will possibly support you in another genre. I hope it all goes well for her.I would have left the show too ,under these circumstances.

Doesn't sound like her husband is supportive at all. Sounds like a creep. Attached link has an article about the divorce filing. Warning...there is some pretty explicit detail of his extra-marital behavior.

The news that country singer Sara Evans has filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years, Craig Schelske spread quickly Thursday night. By 10 p.m., Evans’ publicist released a statement that said, "Recent events that shed light on the status of her marriage prompted Ms. Evans to make the filing."

According to a court document obtained by News 2 Friday morning, Evans sited irreconcilable differences, inappropriate marital conduct and adultery as grounds for divorce.

Evans alleges her husband is guilty of adultery and he regularly engages in excessive consumption of alcohol and smokes cigarettes in the presence of their children, according to the document. Evans said that Schelske further threatens her and frequently verbally abuses her.

According to the document, Evans said her husband frequently watches pornography on the family’s home computers and there are at least 100 images of Schelske posing naked. There are also photos of him engaging in sexual conduct with other women, according to the document.

Schelske also maintains “Craig’s Lists”, many of which involve requests for sex and personal ads involving him and prospective sexual partners.

Under the circumstances, Evans, acontestant on ABC’s hit reality series “Dancing with the Stars”, has withdrawn from the show, saying that her family needs her full attention at this difficult time. Evans’ sudden exit has shocked many, including her dance partner, Tony Dovolani. Late Thursday night, he said he was surprised. Show Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said that she wished Evans had stayed on the show because dancing can help the healing process.

Together, Schelske and Evans have three children, Avery, 7, Olivia, 3, and Audrey, 2.
