Yoo hoo - East Coast watchers: did Bruno actually use the word "crap" when talking about Billy Ray's 2nd dance? BR & Karina reference it when waiting for their scores with Samantha, but it was totally missing from Bruno's comments just now.

Moonie - watch the Ch.7 news @ 11pm. George P., the entertainment reporter has done two promos mentioning getting the dancers comments regarding the judging tonight. I think Billy Ray left the studio before the press line.

Of course, my observations tonight can't be trusted, but something was mentioned.

ETA: OK - the ABC local news anchor just said "reaction to the jaw-dropping surprise on Dancing With The Stars... coming up at 11" wtf?

Just a tease, no real news. The story covered Bruno's remarks and Billy Ray's unhappiness about them.

Carry on...

Just a couple of comments about last night's show.

I loved the first dance that Apolo and Julianne performed, but I had no idea what it was. LOL! That's why I am cutting Len some slack for saying that it was not what he expected from the dance. (Geeze, I still can't remember what it was supposed to be.)

Julianne is an amazing choreographer and for an eighteen-year-old, it's even more incredible. Perhaps she's created a new dance.

I laughed out loud at Bruno's "crap" comment because Billy Ray's dance was another "what the heck is this supposed to be" dance. It surprised me when Billy Ray was offended by it. I thought that he would laugh it off. In hindsight, I feel guilty for laughing. The stars are not professional dancers and every effort they make should be encouraged. It's obvious that Billy Ray is making a lot of effort.

Ian's dancing doesn't seem as awful as the judges' scoring.

Laila's arms really do need work. I had no idea what the judges were talking about until I watched her dance several more times and saw that her arms tend to flail. It looks like an awkward bird trying to take off.

Loved having Mohammed Ali in the audience...very touching.

Without looking at my recording, IIRC Apolo and Julianne's first dance was a tango.

I was also very moved by seeing Mohammed Ali in the audience. I hollered into the next room for dh to drop everthing and come see him. :-)

Appollo and Joey are wonderful. I'm hoping its a horse-race between them at the end, iwth Joey taking home the prize. But if either win, it's all good. I had no idea who Apollo was initially, but I am totally taken by his sweetness and his chemistry with his partner. Next time he's competing as a speedskater, I'll check him out, even though I think I've only watched that sport maybe once in my life. I am definitely a new fan of his.

But Joey has been my fave from day one! :-) He has so much charisma and makes his performances exciting for the audience. So we have as much fun as he seems to be having. Love that guy!

As for the 'crap comment' seems to me we hear that kind of stuff from Simon Cowell regularly on AI so it didn't hit me right away that it was so out of line. I agree, that Billy Ray should have laughed it off, or tossed off a smart remark. But it shows me he is a genuinely sensitive fellow, who is doing his best. But the poor guy always looks so amateurish and out of his element, and he just doesn't belong there, and I wish the fans would put him out of his, clearly uncomfortable, misery. Oh well. He's being a really good sport about it all. I really admire him, even if the poor sot is stiff as a board, and has two left feet.

I got teary eyed when they panned to Mohammed Ali in the audience.

I really would love to see Apolo/Joey final two. I think that Apolo has grown leaps and bounds since his first dance. His posture is much better and his partner is just a great choreographer.

It definitely is time for Billy to go. I now have to walk out of the room or change the channel when he starts his hopping and counting out loud.

I think Joey is great, but a little cheese goes a long way with me. I kind of enjoy when he plays it serious.

I also think it is unfair to jump on Maks and Laila for gimmicks in their dance, when the others (Joey/Light Saber...Apolo/Skirt as some examples) do the same thing.

I think Len's point about that was that Max's two "gimmicks" last night featured MAX! Joey and Apolo are the featured celebrities and when they are doing a "gimmick" it is them. That is along the same line as Laila being featured in the dance (the one with the horrible green costume) last week. In other words, Max is supposed to be featuring his partner, not the other way around.

Oh, and by the way, LOVED Laila's new haircut last night.

I guess I should consider myself properly chastised, but I won't. Two couples are going home tomorrow night and we know one will be Billy Ray. What's wrong with Billy Ray coming in next to last?


Since no one else commented on this, I'm guessing it was a mistake? There's only one couple going home tomorrow, yes?

Personal rant: Apolo's name is spelled with one "P" and one "L". Sorry... just gotta say it! :-)

Love, loved, LOVED Mohammed Ali in the audience. I still love that man. And Laila looked absolutely beautiful!

Apolo did deserve the 10's on his paso doble. That was one of the best paso's I've seen this season.

But... OK, so comments about Bruno's remarks to Billy Ray. The difference between DWTS and AI is that people *expect* Simon to be rude. People do *not* expect the judges on this dancing show to be rude. I really do think Billy Ray is trying, it's just that the poor man can't dance. And there are a lot of ways you can comment without actually putting that person down (watch Carrie Ann -- she always says "entertaining" or "enjoyable to watch" without ever saying it was great or crap). I do think Billy Ray was mad, and I don't blame him. Bruno was out of line. He's never really been one of my favorite judges, and last night he lost a lot of my respect (well, what little I had left for him -- his slobbering all over Stacy what's her name that season truly bothered me).

Anyways... funny, but I while I think Ian is a likeable guy and a good dancer, I don't see him as great. Ditto with Joey. I wouldn't pay to see either of those two dance. So I'd like to see Apolo and Laila in finals.

Should be interesting tonight... Billy Ray's fan base has kept him there, week after week, with his consistently low scores (almost half of those at the top of the leader board). So either his fans hadda go nuts last night, or he's really gonna be outta there tonight. If he's not, then there is a very real possiblity that he could make it to final three. And I'll crack up if that happens!!!

Well, that makes more sense. I also didn't see the last gimmick as I was about to have a goaround with a certain dachshund in my home! Thanks for explaining.

I haven't watched the show yet. What were Billy Ray's scores? Did the judges score him low enough to almost guarantee his elimination? Because the worst thing they could do if they want to get rid of him is give him a harsh critique and then fairly high scores.

Ian was the next highest score with 47 (or close to that ) out of 60.

But I thought the disparity between John and Billy Ray was at least 10 points also, and Billy Ray stayed, so it does seem that the phone votes can make up that difference?

Is there a record of actual scores each week somewhere?

No, in my opinion they didn't.

The difference is that Simon, when he is really tired of a contestant, stops criticizing them as harshly. I have noticed this in past seasons. And sure enough usually enough people quit sympathy voting for them and they get voted off that week. I think he keeps them on as long as he thinks he can get away with it and keep the controversial publicity and then he just gives it up.

Costa, I agree with you about F2 Apolo and Laila. Ian and Joey are good, but not that good.
