Yeah, I didn't find Harry's exit shocking at all. I was shocked at how long he lasted because he was painful to watch. OTOH, I happen to enjoy watching Jerry. I'm sure he'll only last 1 or 2 more weeks, but I find the entertainment value he brings to his dances much more refreshing than the stiffness of the country gal.

I wasn't shocked by Harry's exit last week, although I do wish he had lasted a week or 2 more. You could see how hard he was trying, and even growing. My favorite with him was the Quickstep, which was the dance he most wanted to learn, so glad he got that. I was shocked by Viveca's leaving, I had thought Monique (because of fan base, not talent-related) or Sara (wishful thinking).

I think they called Harry's exit "shocking" just as a courtesy to make him feel good and lessen any embarrassment over his dancing or losing the popularity contest.

Maybe Harry's booting was "shocking" to ABC because he'd received a high volume of votes up until then. We'll never really know though. I think more shocking was Sarah still being there. I love her singing, but G-d only gave her so much talent and it all went in to her throat. I keep thinking she'll losen up and be better next week, but it's been three weeks now... It ain't happening.

For those wondering who she is, here is Willa Ford's "I wanna be bad" video. This is what she's basically "known" for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6-1KDbM9g

I guess that is "talent". As for her dancing and demeanor; she should be long gone, IMO.

I hear that morning DJs Opie & Anthony have recruited their listeners to vote for Jerry Springer. That may account for him still being here.

Willa may not be my favorite dancer in the competition, nor the best dancer, but as long as Sarah and Jerry are still in it, she should be as well imo.

Her mother must be very proud of her. I'm sure glad that's not one of my daughters.

I think I'm a bit confused about what Willa has done that is bad "demeanor"? A sexy music video? That video is more tame than some of the things I see on the streets sometimes...lol She's young, she's hot, why not? Is there something else that I'm missing? And while she's not my favorite dancer in the competition, and I wouldn't put any money on her to win it all, I'm sure her mother is very proud of her, as she should be. She has already come a long way in this competition. As for tonight's show, Emmitt was my favorite and imo Sarah needs to go. Although she really needed to go two weeks ago and I don't actually see it happening any time in the foreseeable future. I think she's got a really big fan base.

That's one cheesy video. It could be the gyrating around in her briefs while singing about messing around with someone else's guy and wanting to be bad that some people are reacting to, Chalupa. My favorite line was "I don't want no one judging me." LOL! Sarah and Jerry both need to go. I don't know how those judges in good conscience could give Jerry straight 8's for that performance just because everyone was laughing. Give me a break. It certainly wasn't better than his waltz. I said last week that a vote for Jerry is a vote to see him try to samba, and now that nightmare has been realized. I'm so glad Cheryl and Emmit did a good samba. Glen was right that it was the only samba all evening that had the right feel to it. Joey and Edyta's was too slow, Sarah's was stiff, and Jerry's was treated like a joke. The rhumba usually bores me, so I like having the sambas interspersed to liven things up. Emmit's was the only really lively one, so I actually gave him some votes tonight which I never do. I gave most of my votes to Monique tonight because I figure she needs them the most, and because she earned them with that last move. It was impressive enough getting into that position, but even more so getting out of it. I was really hoping she and Louis would do the samba, but hopefully they'll stay on long enough to do it in a future episode.

I enjoyed Jerry tonight, and with his fan base and entertaining performance actually expect him to stay. The one I want to see go is Sara, sweet she is, and a wonderful singer, but she just doesn't have what the others do in terms of dancing. Am worried about her fan base. In country music, they even have Fanfair once a year, a big event where everyone can get up close and personal with their favorite country stars I am very worried about Monique and cast 1/2 my votes for her. The other 1/2 to Willa, who I began voting for when she was ending up in the bottom 2. I hope the "boys" have enough votes to carry them on.

One lucky couple got to dance the samba to a song about doing the cha-cha! Can it get any sillier than that?

Yes, Penpoint, whatever that dance Sara did last week to the Phantom of the Opera song. I don't like a lot of the music choices they have with the dances. Sometimes they just don't fit together and I lose the feel of the dance. Just my personal preference, wish they would stick with music that actually goes with the dance. Cheryl and Emmit are my favorite couple. Sara should have been long gone.

Cheryl and Emmit did so good last night! It looked like they were really enjoying themselves. I liked Mario and Joey last night too. Willa and Monique did well also. Sara and Jerry have got to go. Why they are both still there is a mystery to me, they must have a strong fan base. I wish they would get a clue. I know everyone is working really hard, I just wish the people with the most talent would actually get to stay.

I wonder what would happen if someone took all of Edyta's legwarmers away from her?

Edyta might just go into shock. We wouldn't want that to happen to her, now would we? Of course, Mario would be there to warm her up and snap her out of it. Man, those two set off some sparks. They might want to go get a room, and not a dance studio!

Emmitt was my fav. last night followed by Mario & then Joey & Jerry. I'm sorry, but I just can't get into any of the female "stars". Monique & Willa both seem to be able to dance OK but I had never heard of either of them before - how can they have enough fans to stay on much longer? Sarah is the worst dancer but she is getting the "hick" vote. I love watching Jerry & even though I haven't voted this season, if I would have voted last night I would have voted for him & Emmitt (I don't think Mario or Joey is in any trouble at this time).

Why would Edyta need Mario to warm her up? He's not her partner!!! I think Mario and Karina do a good job of raising the temperature in a room all by themselves. Loved Emmit and Cheryl but I worry how much of a fan base he has. The sad thing is that one of the dancers who has potential to do really good things is going to get voted out because people like Jerry and Sarah and they have a large fan base...but neither of them really dance all that well. And who picked that hideous costume for Sarah last night?

Texasdeb, you should be ashamed of yourself with that "hick" vote remark...don't you know that people think WE are the hicks?

I'm not worried about Emmit's fan base (although, didn't Vivica say that last week...lol). If I recall correctly, he had the lowest score out of everyone one week and wasn't even in the bottom two. He must of had a lot of votes that week. I think he has a very solid fan base, and when he dances well, he gets more votes from those who vote strictly on how someone dances that night.
