Costa - thanks for the headsup on the correct spelling of Apolo! (Not sure if you meant me, or if there are others also screwing up the spelling too. LOL) PS, he's so cute, but (and I am probably swimming up stream with this) I do not like his little beardlett or what the heck they call that fuzz on his chin.

LOL Mame. Nope, I didn't mean you. I meant in general (people always spell his name wrong!). And that fuzzy thing is called a "soul patch."

LOL thanks Costa. I knew that, but forgot. Must be a voluntary mental block. LOL

Was I hearing things last night when I heard that two couples were going home tonight? This what is on the website: Tuesday, May 8 at 9/8c "The Results Show" The seventh couple will be dismissed and the four semifinalists revealed. Meanwhile, singing sensation Nelly Furtado hits the dance floor! (Roxip, I'm not really posting here. It is my evil twin. I'm still at jury duty. )

Never mind. I've been thinking there were six couples left, but I could have sworn Tom said two couples were going home tonight.

Two things from last night's show: 1) I played it back three times and Julianne said, "We work with the song we're given, we got Jessie's Girl!" Point being, they don't choose their songs and it was hard as heck to choreograph a tango to Rick Springfield. It looked great but BOY was the song (which I like!) distracting. 2) Native_Texan - Tom said something along the lines of "two couples will get the shock of their lives" by which he meant they will be in the bottom two, not that two couples are going home.

I thought Rick Springfield was a horrible song choice for a tango. Tangos are sensual... it's really tough to be sensual with "Jessie's Girl"!!!!! Of the couples left, isn't Billy Ray the only one who's been in the bottom two? And LOL NT! Jury duty! Ssshhh... (love your evil twin, though!)! I saw your posting last night, and when I watched the show this morning, I kept trying to listen for "two couples going." The only thing I heard was that there were two more weeks (next week is the semifinals, and then the finale, yes?).

Costa, I was just joking with everyone. I knew all along that only one couple was going, but I wanted to see what kind of confusion I could stir up. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

But see, Apolo's little beardlet (love that name for his soul patch) is his lucky patch. I think as long as he is training for the Olympics, he will have that patch. It's become part of his personna, and he might be a little superstitious about it.

Madelane, Tom probably did say something about two couples being in the bottom a number of times. Nt, I also thought I heard him say two couples would be going home [tonight].

Jenhavens - Ah, his LUCKY beardlett, that makes sense. I can tolerate it, if it brings him luck. (smile) It's just that he's so danged CUTE. Is there a pic of him without it? (Dashes off to Google)

1998 U.S. Men's' World Short Track Team Top:Tom O'Hare, Ian Baranski, Scott Koons Bottom: Rusty Smith and Apolo Ohno I'm squinting at the pic, and I don't think he had the soul patch yet. But it's really hard to tell.

I don't think I have ever seen him without it, and I have followed his career the past 8 years. Maybe he wasn't old enough yet to grow fur on his face in that pic(would he have been 14-15 there)? I remember seeing tons of people at the 2002 Olympics with fake soul patches to show Apolo support. I thought that was very sweet.

I may be wrong but I thought that Apolo's soul patch was gone last night. I'll have to look closely tonight.

Apolo is adorable with or without his soul patch. I was thinking him and Julianne are so cute together .... I wonder if either of them are single??

So he will be 26 in 2 weeks! He would have been around 16-17 in that picture.

I saw on Extra that Julianne called off her engagement a week ago. She says they are still dating, but I wonder....

Julianne and Apolo would be such a cute couple! I didn't know she had been engaged .. so sad she called off her engagement. Do you suppose she'll take up speed skating to ease the pain??
