I don't know that Ashley's star-struck, since she's probably not old enough to remember Harry Hamlin in his heyday, and this is her third season so she should be used to being around the celebrities. I have wondered if the age difference is intimidating for her, though. Still, I don't think her teaching is why they lost last night. When she was with Joey McIntyre they went all the way to third place (and should've gone even farther). With Master P, he wasn't going to cooperate no matter who was teaching. Harry seemed to be really trying hard, and he did make progress. The tango was well suited for him, and I thought they did well. He just didn't have the personality to make people pick up the phone for him.

I just want Ashley to get a partner that is going to get her farther in the competion like in the first season. She is one of my favorite pros. I love Cheryl and Louie too. Poor Monica, that girl had to be worried about that skirt for the rest of her dance,and look how well she did! The people that dress them need to test these outfits to make sure they can hold up through a routine.My gosh, it's bad enough what happened,could you imagine if it had fell all the way down? On live television?

I have to say I will really miss Harry. I had a major crush on him when he was on LA Law. I think he aged well. I also think Lisa Rinna is very engaging and I like her very much (as a public persona. Don't know her personally). I may be in the minority, but I wanted to see more of him even if it is just for the warm feeling I get in remembering the past.

Dancing with the Stars performances are pre-taped; the audience claps for an empty stage The performances during the allegedly “live” Dancing with the Stars 3 performance episodes have been pre-recorded, Access Hollywood reports. The audience fakes its applause even though it’s just watched an empty stage, while the performers pretend to have just danced. Thus, “when Tom Bergeron and Samantha Harris throw to the stage there is no one there. The audience is then forced to give a standing ovation at the end of the song, even though nothing is happening right in front of them,” Laura Saltman reports. The interview segments are apparently shot in front of the audience, however, but the contestants essentially lie and act like they just danced in order to convince us that they just danced, even though they danced at some other point. Saltman writes, “Remember after the Paso Doble performance when Samantha was interviewing Willa, Vivica Fox and Sara Evans backstage and the boys all of a sudden showed up to join their dance partners like they had just gotten off the dance floor? They didn’t. They were in the backstage room the whole time. Reality blurred

Saltma wrote "the last couple of weeks" so is this something new? And if so, why?

I taped the Zack and Cody episode from last Friday (never have seen it) just so I could see Cheryl Burke. Turned out Ashley and Louis also had small roles. It was very light-weight, but nice to see ballroom dancing featured on a kid's show. The two young twins are convinced to take ballroom so they can get close to their girlfriends, but when the two girls bail when it comes to the competition, the two boys partner each other with great enthusiasm. They end their dance with a bang, and then--guess what?!--they are told they are disqualified because they did a LIFT!!! So I guess that happens in the regular world of ballroom???? PS re the taping thing above: I know on So You Think You Can Dance, at the end I think it said that SOME of the dances were prerecorded and I wondered about that. I wonder if it's a case of SOME of the dances here too?? I just find it hard to believe that the spontaneous crowd reaction to Mario was actually faked. Hmmm..

I would think it would be just the production numbers that would be taped...we see the dancers finish the dance and walk over to the judges...we see the crowd while they are dancing...

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. What's the point in pre-recording if they're not going to edit out or re-shoot a wardrobe malfunction? What is there to be gained by pre-taping the dances? The audience is still there during the taping, since we can see them sitting there, so they are still performing in front of a live studio audience. Why not just do it during the live show?

Why would all of these people come to clap at an empty stage??? When the contestants are dancing you can see the audience there. For instance when Monique had her wardrobe malfunction you could see her mother sitting there and many others. There was a rise from the audience when it happened. This makes no sense to me.

It sounds like they're saying they tape the dancing in front of the audience before the live broadcast begins, and then when they go live they show those clips instead of having them dance live. I just don't get the point.

Teach - the show is called "The Soup," and it was definitely featured in this past weekend's show. It went by pretty fast. I'm sure they're still running it until Friday. VH-1.

I was thinking the sad thing about Ash leaving this soon was this year she had a partner that was really really trying..last year her partner didnt try hardly at all and lasted longer!

Thanks, SG! I had (incorrectly) assumed more wardrobe malfunctions would be the top...guess I had the wrong end. She handled it as professionally as she possibly could have, IMHO, and I just want to go on record as saying I'd be dancing all over the place if my tushie was small enough that my pants fell down w/a bit of movement! LOL

Pamy, I have a feeling Ashley won't do the show next time. She had Joey Macintire and went really far the first time around and has been screwed the rest of the time. I like her, too...

Monday nights aren't considered live and doesn't have the encaption "live" on the screen. I always thought this portion was pre-taped and aired on Monday night...and then on Tuesday night the result show is the live show. I think it has the encaption "live" on the screen. That's the way it was last season, so I figured it was the same way this season.

I think Brownsfan has it right. I still wander how they get the audience reaction on Tuesday & I guess if what we will watch tonight was pre-taped in front of an audience, that would explain it. There's no question that the Wed. elimination show is live though is there? I'm watching more closer tonight to see if I can figure it out.

Dang, was I the only one watching tonight? Mario completely nailed it! E. Smith was great too. I'm hoping Joey did well - I got a phone call & totally missed him. I loved Jerry's waltz! Jerry isn't the best dancer there, but he is just too cool. I think Sarah will go home tomorrow even though I still don't care for that Willa girl. Doesn't anybody else have a thought?
