Mario and Emmitt are supposed to be on Regis and Kelly tomorrow. I might have to force myself to watch (depends on Kelly's hellacious clothing, sometimes you just can't stomach it no matter who the guest is).

Seriously, I personally liked both Emmitt and Mario and really enjoyed the show. Some of the others were also very entertaining and that's why I really watched. I think there are many other people out there who share my view.

Ritfie, I agree. I liked them both. I did want Emmitt to win over Mario just because Emmitt started out with nothing (on the show) and Mario started out almost "perfect". He didn't need to learn anything, just remember the order of steps. Emmitt (and the rest, minus Joey) had to learn how to move his body in unnatural ways.

I liked watching them both, but I told DH that Emmitt really epitomized what this competition is all about.

The family sacrifice 'line' was used by EVERY dancer there who had a family. Sour grapes are so unattractive and I keep reading them (about this show) today. It's getting old.

I agree, Jedisan. This is not a formal dance contest or it wouldn't take former celebs and pair them off with pro dancers. It's not JUST about the dance steps.

Mario's comments about the other female dancers not holding a candle to Karrrrina is an insult to all the professional female that took part and plain rude. Let's hope that she doesn't get to participate in next season's show.

Mario didn't dance or get instructions from any of the other female pro's so he just made that comment to make Karina feel "special". Had he been given the chance to dance with Cheryl or Anna or Ashley he would never have made that statement.

Good grief...why should Karina be punished for Mario's comments? Doesn't make any sense to me???????

My fave pro is Ashley. I'd like to see her win that cheesy trophy next season.

I love Ashley, and yes would love to see her win next year. She threw everything into her work, and was so teary-eyed when she and Harry were voted off. So glad they are going on tour! Anyone planning to catch them? Also, I got an email announcement that High School Musical is being done on stage (I think in LA area?) with Monique Coleman. And I caught the 4 dancers on Regis show today. Regis was missing, and to my amazement a visually unrecognizable Clay Aiken (way different hair style) co-hosted with Kelly. Clay made for an easy-going host, although occasionally have trouble getting a word in edgewise with Kelly. I wish there had been more time to compare notes on their Dancing vs Idol singing experiences. Also thought how far "runner up" Clay has come, so being "runner up" shouldn't stop Mario either!

I enjoyed the whole season, I just hope next year the judges score them a little harder. It seemed like last season they had to work really hard for a 10 and this year they were passed out freely (or for giving Carrieanne and Bruno a hot flash).

I think they need to redo the scoring somehow. Too much of a popularity vote. Jerry was the prime example of that. And the judges are a whole lot more critical of the better dancers than the so so dancers.

Saw a piece on Wednesday's Entertainment tonight re the Dancing with the Stars tour. When they mentioned the stars touring, they failed to mention Willa and Max. So I checked out the official tour website and sure enough the named stars on tour are only five now rather than the six originally named (Drew, Joey McIntyre, Joey Lawrence, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamilin are the five), no mention of Willa. I wonder if her recent rumoured engagement to someone other than Max had anything to do with it...anyone know another reason why she's absent?

Well, since Modano announced that he proposed to her in bed I'm sure she didn't think it was the right thing to do to go romping with Max across the United States.

Max pulled out first for personal reasons, and then Willa pulled out saying if Max wasn't doing then she wasn't either.

I remembered that Maxsim has a website http://www.maksimchmerkovskiy.com/ so went there to check out the forums, where it looks like he withdrew around November 27th. The forum discussions seem to indicate he thought he needed to spend more time with his students before returning for Dancing with the Stars 4. My search also led me to http://www.iloveallaccess.com/# where, if you click on the tour link, you get photos of the participants on tour. Another surprise was that Ashley has been replaced by Karina as Harry Hamilin's partner! Some mention on Entertainment tonight was made of Jerry Springer and Sara Evans joining the tour, but i'm guessing that's only when the tour hits their respective cities.

Ashly is expecting her first baby. That's why she is not dancing. *Source*

How cool! I've always loved Lisa and wish we lived closer so we could see this. Chicago is also one of my favorites.

Oh wait a minute... I HATED the movie Chicago... (except for Queen Latifah who stole the show). So maybe I don't feel so bad that I'm not heading to NYC or Broadway anytime soon. LOL.

I'm not talking about the movie -- I love the MUSICAL Chicago. I've seen it with a couple of different touring groups, and like all Broadway - it is best seen live!

The coolest thing about the musical is that the pit is ON STAGE the entire time. They're on steps (sorta) and there are wide side railing (like you'd see on a stairway) that the ladies loll about on at times. There's even a stairway that comes up the middle so some characters appear from there, too. Also, there are two ladders on either side of the stage. Here's what the "pit" looks like:
