I just don't let myself get too mad about these things. Of course it's a popularity contest, every reality show involving viewer votes is. I personally didn't think Taylor Hicks was the best singer on AI this season, but he was obviously more popular than the others, and that's how he won. If I want to watch real ballroom dancing and see the best dancers, I would watch the competitions on PBS, not this show. This is a television show first, competition second. And I personally, no matter the outcome, find it very entertaining.

I can't get into Monique for some reason (I guess it's because I've never heard of her before this show). My top 3 fav's are Emmitt, Mario, & Joey. I enjoy watching Jerry so I'm fine with him still being around. I was so surprised that Sarah Evans wasn't in the bottom 2. She is not a dancer! I don't care for country music, but I guess she must be pretty good to have such a fan base.

Texasdeb, are you trying to tell us you have never heard of "Suds in the Bucket"? You can't get much more country than that song, I'll tell you what!

Costacat - I was grateful for Tivo last night -- that way I could FF through Jerry's reenactment.

Nope - I've never heard of "Suds in the Bucket". What the heck is that?

I'm with Texasdeb...Sarah sounded great when they showed her singing the national anthem...but I couldn't name one of her songs. But I live in NY which isn't exactly a country music place...lol

"Suds in the Bucket" is one of Sara's songs. I think it was one of her first hits. I kid you not. It is actually a catchy song in a twangy kinda way.

"She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hanging out on the line." I think its talking about a young woman running off with her man.

I thought her rendition of the national anthem was painful. It sounded like she was straining to get the notes out. I'm a traditionalist - I like to hear The Star Spangled Banner sung pretty much as it was written.

She seems to have a thin, reedy voice to me. I have always felt that way about her voice. Not very powerful. I'm not saying it sounds bad, just not powerful.

I was trying to remember Maksims partners the other years too. I know Tia was last year and wasn't Kelly Monaco the first year? I'm not sure about that though.

I guess it was Alec Mezo (sp) that was with Kelly Monaco, not Maksim.

LOL - Kellie sang "Suds in the Bucket" on one of the American Idol shows. It was memorable.

Costacat said one page back that Maxim wasn't on the first season; I guess it's because he's such a "vivid" dancer that I thought he was. Is there a list anywhere of the professionals over the three seasons and who they partnered with? I am wondering how many "three season veterans" we actually have with us.

That would be something neat to know. I love Cheryl. She is my favorite pro, should be on every season, no matter what.

Hey, I love Rod Stewart too but dang, couldn't he find a shirt that fit him? Necie, Cheryl is my absolute favorite pro too! It doesn't bother me one bit that Jerry is still around, I like the guy. On his show, he would always tell the lesson to be learned at the end. I love that he expressed his love for his adult dd on this show.

Willa, Monique, Sara, Shanna, and Tucker....I never heard of any of them so my favorites are limited but Mario will always have my heart! Plus he's a darn good dancer!

Wow, such anger over Jerry still being there. He's not a horrible dancer. LIke the judges said, he does do the footwork. HE also looks relaxed and is having a good time. I find it very entertaining. OTOH I find Sarah to be painful to watch. She's so stiff. There's no life to her dancing. It's not enjoyable. I find it apalling that she may end up in the finals (and I doubt Jerry will -- he's been close to going and probably will in the next 2 weeks). This show is about entertainment, it's not about professional competition. There's more to dance than doing precise steps -- it's also about engaging the audience. Jerry does and Sarah doesn't. And I'm not a hick, nor a redneck, and I'd never watch Jerry's trashy show, but I'll continue to vote for him as long as I want. .

Thanks, Costacat, very enlightening! And I had no memory that there were only SIX couples the first season?! Am I correct that Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya (season 2) were a couple? I have been looking this season for the husband/wife combo, and I guess that's why I can't find them!

Why did they keep saying that this week was the halfway point? Only 4 couples had been eliminated and there were still 7 left. The math doesn't add up unless we are going to eliminate more than one couple a week...or do they have 3 couples in the finals?

With 7 couples left, I think they do 4 more eliminations and end up with a final 3? That's my guess.

I was wondering. Because it seems too soon! But then again I'm sweating out losing my Tivo so who knows what my television life will be...I can guarantee my work life is going to suffer if I have to watch all my favorite shows on youtube...LOL!
