Pixieduster, I thought the very same thing. Cheryl has this move she does where she puts her hand over the back of her head, reaching from the front, and sort of flips it. Karina had on a Cheryl wig and was making that same movement.

Chalupa, I am definitely with you on this show. Mario totally rubs me up the wrong way. He seems to exude a certain smugness about him every week and the judges fanning his huge ego aren't helping the situation much. Some weeks he's had several pauses in his legwork in a dance and never a comment is made. I really don't like him or Karrrrina. I don't like the way he pronounces her name LOL

Joey was his usual hyper, eager to please, little beaver. He's cute and entertaining, certainly. I like his energy and the way he appears humble when critiqued.

I still prefer the Emmitt/Cheryl team and the Monique/Louis team (I love Louis' dancing... he never gets any props for his moves. I don't know if that is because the judges never comment on the pro dancers - this is our first season watching). DH is wanting an Emmitt win since he's a longtime Cowboys fan LOL but I like the whole package with Emmitt - he's improved every week, he ALWAYS has that cheery expression and a huge smile, he just seems to really enjoy what he's doing. Love Cheryl's house!

I really think Monique is critiqued over critically, personally. I think her dances are technically harder than Mario's same ole, same ole and Joey hyper moves. Poor girl can't get a break. I think it would have been nice to have kept Willa and Maksim that one week (and booted out Mario or Jerry that week) and to still have her in so we could have two pro male dancers with amateur female partners (and no Mario LMAO). She was getting good too.

I think I like Monique in the contest because I like Louis' moves! :o) I agree that Willa would have been better by now but Monique does try to over extend her training more than the men. And watching Louis dance is a real pleasure.

Rosie, I think Cheryl DID put her hand where you think she did. She was quick to reposition it LOL I think we were getting some action out of Emmitt that he hadn't necessarily expected!

Allie YAY!! Someone agrees with me about Mario. From reading here most days it seems that most like Mario so I didn't want to be the only one. It's definitely that whole smug/cocky/fake humble thing that drives me crazy. It's so interesting to see Samantha interview him and them immediately after interview Emmitt. Emmitt is so HONESTLY sincere it make all of Mario's answers laughable in my mind. And as much as Samantha bugs, her calling out Mario on looking pissed about his 28!! I loved it!

I agree that it seems Monique has been scored on a much different scale than all of the guys. She probably is the worst dancer of the 4 of them left, well technically I say its between her and Joey, but Joey (and the other men) are constantly scored better. I really think the judges have got something against Louis. Last year, as much as Lisa Rinna got on my nerves at times, I also thought some of their dances were underscored.

And Len saying he wished he could give Emmitt an 11. Well Len, perhaps if you and the judges weren't just throwing around 10's this season to whomever you felt like, then a 10 might mean a little more and carry a little more weight.

Oh, and all of Mario's latin dances look the same to me. Samba, mambo, cha cha....all the same.

another reason she looked like Cheryl is that dress. I swear Cheryl wore that same one last year

Emmitt has impressed me so much. I hope he wins. I really like all of them and will be happy with any of them winning

I like Mario, but I do see some smugness. I love Joey, he is very sincere, I love Emmitt, he also is very sincere. I think the final 2 will be Mario and Emmitt. They have the biggest fan base, and it is all about popularity after all.
As far as Cheryl, she is my favorite of all the dancers. I like everything about her. I think she is the best dancer, she is the best dresser, she has the best body and she seems the nicest. That of course, is just my opinion

I'm torn between Mario and Emmett as to who I'd like to see win. Every show when I see one of them dance, I think "He's wonderful - he should win!"...but then the other one dances, and I think the exact same thing! I love that each of them is sooo good, but their styles and skill sets are so different from each other. Emmett surprises me every week with his graceful (yet manly!) moves. Mario has all the technical moves down, and yet he still "performs" in the character of the dance. Their waltz last night was magical.
I totally admire both Joey and Monique, but I don't think they are quite to the level of the other two. Great season! Love them all!!

I totally agree that Emmitt & Mario are in the same "top" league. The difference is the personality that comes through. My preference is Emmitt's. He doesn't question Cheryl when she is training him & he NEVER comes off as having to control an attitude problem. It almost seems that Mario is expecting to win & you can tell that he looks a bit p-o'd when he gets any negative feed back or in the case last night, didn't get all 10's. Emmitt seemed gracious for the scoring he got. That's why all of my votes have gone & will continue to go for Emmitt & Cheryl as long as they're still around. Heck, if Emmitt somehow doesn't survive this wk, I probably won't vote anymore.

I am so sick of the LOUSY music that they use on this show! Adams Family, Ghost Busters, what the heck is up with that???? I complain about the music every year and it just seems to get worse with each series...hope they do something about that next time but they probably won't. I also don't care for the guy who does the singing...ick!

Mario acts very smug and is not as perfect as Bruno thinks. There's something about his posture and the sameness of his routines that to me just turns me off. Emmitt is fun to watch and I'd love to meet him in real life and be friends with him:-) He seems like a genuinely nice man. His rhumba was hot as heck but I didn't think he really did much of anything. That dance was about Cheryl and she absolutely smoked it though! Yeowza!! Joey seems sweet too and tries really hard. I thought that he was just trying to hang on last night. Too bad he got stuck with that Adams Family music. I'd like to see that dance with something more appropriate. Monique has had the most difficult routines and I think she gets judged unfairly. The guys are suppose to be the frame and the women are suppose to be the picture. In my opinion to praise Emmitt for what I perceive as not doing a lot and then criticize Monique for doing something they acknowledge was difficult doesn't make any sense to me. (okay that was a lousy sentence but hopefully you know what I mean:-)) At this point they all have their good qualities and it will be hard to see any of them leave. Thanks for letting me babble on!

LOL Rosie! I have no idea how to do that kind of stuff. Youtube is my new favorite addiction though. Last night I found American Idol from the season that Clay was on. Yipee! I also have Donny Osmond singing Puppy Love...I'm such a dork and showing my age to boot!

Loyolamom,

If you're a Donny Osmond fan you should watch the new music video "White & Nerdy" by Weird Al Yankovic. At one point in the video Donny is dancing behind Weird Al. It's hysterical. I love Donny's sense of humor.

I love Emmit & Cheryl and hope they win. I think you are right, loyalamom, about the judges being too hard on Monique. She def has more complex moves than the guys and def dances more.
I also love Joey's personality and Mario's smile.
I guess I'm in the minority about Mario because I don't think he is smug at all.
I'm just a love child because I don't have anything negative to say about any of them, love them all!

I tried to find last night's DWTS youtubes but all I could find was one of Mario and Karina and about 20 seconds of Emmett and Cheryl. Any clues?

Loyola, are you talking about the Donny Osmond who was born on 12/9/57, the 7th of 9 children borne to George and Olive, whose favorite color is still purple and who is now - I can't stand it!!! - a grandpa?

Not that I like him or went to a concert wearing purple velvet hot pants with a matching vest and couldn't speak the next day or anything like that.

Denecee, I love all the contestants too. And that's a rarity. Some of the professionals though I don't like so much. But I'm sure they are great people.
And I also don't think Mario looks smug at all.

That's too funny Native! I'm jealous you got to see him in concert. I was convinced that somehow he would find me and ask me to be his wife...wonder what went wrong? I was about 11 at the time, maybe that had something to do with it...lol!

Roxip, I don't know about doing links to videos but here goes. Thsi is Mario and Karina's Rhumba. It will take you to all kinds of videos from the show. Hope this works!

I have to say, I do think Mario (and Karina) look smug in front of the judges, esp Carrie Ann, and with Samantha Harris. There seems to be a bit of tension between them.

Thought I would spoil a bit for you guys on the west coast.

Monique got the encore for her chacha. They showed the confessionals. Monique seems to still be upset about the scoring over the course of the competition...rightfully so imo. LOL in Cheryl and Emmitts mind they really got a perfect score bc of Lens "11".

Willa Ford was back and sang Fame. Louis, Maks, Tony, Cheryl, Edyta and Elena danced to it.

Then they did that silly fan thing with everyone talking about Mario's dimples and whatnot...lol Anna T and Jonathan from last season's pros were in that montage. Anna wants to have Mario on Monday and Emmitt on Tuesdays...lol she is cute!

Then they said no bottom 2 announced bc only 4 couples left. Announced the first couple to be safe...Emmitt and Cheryl! YAY!!

Il Divo is performing next.

Il Divo sang (not in english...spanish maybe? lol) and this pro couple named Victor and Anna(?) danced beautifully to it.

Tysonia danced the rhumba and is competing in a competition for Slimfast thing. Wow...she cried about being nervous and it appears we have our first Slimfast challenge cliffhanger of the season. I guess we will find out how she did later.

I think Tom said another pro demo is coming up. As much as I love the pro dances, they could definitely do this results show in a half hour...lol

ETA my thoughts exactly Keldogg!

OH and I forgot they are clearly still pushing this Sara Evans thing during this timeslot. Saw a commercial about her quitting DWTS and making her first public appearance on the CMA's this week conveniently on ABC..LOL
