Yeah, I wanted to see the misstep too. I missed it last night. Considering how complicated their dance was versus Leeza's, the scores were very strange. One thing Cheryl does (or doesn't do), she sticks to the rules. I think Laila's partner has broken the rules in prior shows with a similar chastation by the judges. He should know better. (even though it was a good dance by us non-dancers)

Ferretmom, this is a very rational message board, and there are discussions about everything under the sun. Go up there at the top of the page and hit Search and try using the New Messages feature for a couple days. You will be amazed at all the "other" stuff being discussed at tvclubhouse. Warning: it is addictive.

And now back to the topic:

Now that you all mention it, I have noticed Billy Ray singing along with the songs on his previous appearances. So, I betcha he was using that as a sort of counting. I just thought since he is a singer, maybe it made him less nervous and sort of like he was out there singing and not dancing, LOL. last night he definitely looked like he was counting rather than singing.

Clyde is sort of a hometown hero in the fourth largest city in the United States, Houston. That alone is a HUGE fan base. I think both he and Billy Ray are going to stay an appearance or two beyond what their dancing talent merits, but after that, common sense usually takes over with the voters.

Shandi was on Kimmel just now and it was one of the funniest interviews. I wish I would have thought to capture it...anyway, maybe it will be on youtube tomorrow. Be sure to seek it out.

Naja, that was it! Heather's arms (how could I forget who Heather was... must've had a brain cramp!) were all flailing around, and not in sync with the rest of her. I thought her steps were fine, but the rest of her was too jerky for a jive (there's that precision thing that I just didn't see).

I'm surprised she was in the top. Just goes to show how far the pity vote will get you.

And yeah, Shandi was never gonna make it into the top four, so it didn't really matter when she left. I predict John or Clyde will go next week.

Just a thought, but maybe Heather is getting the votes because of her profession; and her gutsiness in competing when she does have an artificial limb. I wouldn't call that 'pity', I would call it admiration.

I do think the judges need to set an example by scoring her without consideration for her artificial limb. It's not fair otherwise.

I was surprised to see Leesa in the bottom two. Apparently she doesn't have a large fan base either.

That is a good point about the relative size of the fan base for Clyde and Leeza. They both gave rather uninspired performances, however, the judges gave Leeza very high marks and Clyde very low marks. Clyde had a huge amount of ground to make up as a result and his fans did it for him.

With respect to Heather, I am happy to see that she is doing so well. I agree that the judges' scores are inconsistent (LOL – certainly with my "expert" appraisal of the talent) but they are inconsistent for many of the weaker dancers. I can't possibly see how Apolo scored lower than Leeza or Heather.

Finally, I am cheering for Joey because he is a good dancer but more than that I am cheering for Kym. I love her style and enthusiasm and she deserves credit for cheerfully dragging Jerry Springer around for much of last season and she has now got a partner who can actually dance!

Thanks for the recaps. We had weather coverage ad nauseum (not that I don't think they should break into shows but to go on and on and on...give me a break! and only got to see the elimination (they went to weather right before Survivor sang).

Why they can't put a little box on the bottom of the screen and show the regularly scheduled program and then do the weather programming I don't know...they manage to put all sorts of other stuff on the screen these days.

Anybody seen Native Texan while she's in California? Tell her Hi!

I'll be hooking up with her tomorrow at the zoo. I think she's in OC today, meeting with Sea.

Okay, but let me just tell you this...she is a TEXAN with a capital "T"! (and so am I.) People will hear her coming before they see y'all...LOL!

She's a great girl and you will all enjoy her immensely.

Have her call me later this afternoon, 'K? I need to arrange when to meet up with this Texan!

Heather was in the career of being a fundraiser long before she met Sir Paul. She has dedicated her life to being an activist for disabled since her accident. She has appeared for years speaking out about landmines and has helped many people get artificial limbs. She has made many appearances on popular television shows

Thanks for the info, Roxip. I didn't know. I know it's prob. not right, but I just kind of soured on her when she divorced Paul. It could be all his fault; who knows. It's just a mess for his other children and his child with her. She seems to be enjoying herself with the American contestants; however, I don't think she's the best dancer.

Texannie, no..maybe Shani wasn't going to win, but I feel she deserved to be there longer than Clyde (whose Mom is a great dancer) and Billy Ray. I liked watching her dance.

I agree about Kym, I absolutely love her! She so fantastically talented and just plain fun to watch. I also enjoy her chemistry with Joey. So I'm trying to figure out now what I actually think of him as a dancer.... kind of tough to separate.

None of Paul M's children agreed with the wedding and none attended. He didn't care. Why is Heather getting all the blame when things went wrong? She goes home every week to be with their daughter and has to practice around the trips back home to be with her daughter. Meanwhile she is still continuing on with her charity work. What's with the pity vote thing? She's doing damned well for an able bodied non dancer let alone for one with half a leg missing. <48> If Sir Paul cared about his other children's opinions he would never have married Heather in the first place. He didn't care what they thought.

The dance that Tony and Julianne did was so lovely! I wish my husband could pick me up the way Tony picked up Julianne and make it look that effortless. I'm sure my hubby would at the very least throw his back out!

I'm kinda bummed Shandi went home. I didn't think she would win but I didn't think she was the worst this week.

I noticed Billy ray counting from the first, but the past couple I noticed Karina tapping him to do turns, and noticed Max (?) tapping Laila's back to turn Guess they all do signals . Leila sure looks like she has lost weight

Fan base is going to keep Billy Ray around for a while I bet

I agree Lurkin. I don't see Billy Ray going anywhere soon. If I had to guess, I would say Leeza is going to go next. I don't think she has the same fan base as Billy Ray or Clyde. Then again, next week they're doing the paso and the waltz. Leeza might do well with the waltz.

Dr. Phil was sitting in for Larry King tonight and I only saw the last 10 mins. or so but he had Shandi, Apolo, Julianne, and Bruno on. I missed Dr. Phil's question but he mentioned how Maks and Laila had broken the rules by separating and Shandi piped up and said "Yeah, and they got the same score I did Bruno"! Bruno just laughed and didn't address what she said. I wish he had been forced to talk about the scoring though. I sure would like to know what the judges are thinking!
