Good Lord, of course it is a popularity contest! Everyone knows that. That is how they get votes in the beginning, but once it is down to the final 3 it usually comes out right, except that Stacy Kiebler should have won last year! But Drew Lachey has way more fans. Who the heck is Shanna anyway? Did she really think she would beat some of the more popular dancers? Has she watched the show before?

I thought Drew won it because in the last freestyle Stacy was more subdued than usual (may not be quite the right adjective), and Drew absolutely hit it out of the park with the "Ride a Cowboy" routine!! That's what did it for me...I can still replay Drew's dance for that number in my head, it was that powerful!

Ya, Drew was great but Beth, you don't have an 11 year old son preaching the importace of Stacy every second minute!!!! He wonders if Stacy will wait for him to grow up and marry him. What's a mother to do? Although my 13 year old daughter consistently voted for Drew!!!! My son was just really, really, persuasive!!!!! LOL

Anyone see Mario Lopez on Nip/Tuck last night? I'm not sure what I thought about it - kinda creeped me out a bit. Do you think Dancing with the Stars knew in advance that he would be doing a nude scene on Nip/Tuck?

Is anyone watching tonight? I am shocked at the scoring. Some couples don't have near the technique and receive high scores, yet those that are amazing in technique and entertainment get reemed b/c of a variation. Even the couples that do illegal lifts are getting better scores. Is it because the judges have higher expectations of some? If so, is that fair? How frustrating!!

There is absolutely NO WAY that Jerry Springer's tango was better than Emmitt's. I think the deal with the lifts is that they are against the rules. No matter how cool they are. But watch the youtube above...Drew has Cheryl up in the air most of the routine and they got all 10s! What the heck?

I just think they should all be judged on with the same guidelines. Okay, lifts are illegal. Tell them if they do lifts X number of points will be deducted. But COME ON - Jerry Springer scoring better than a few couples. Plus, wasn't he tied with a number of others. I can't remember what his score was. I guess I don't understand that some of the best dancers are getting really low scores (6 from Len) and I think it is b/c there are higher expectations for them. I think Mario's dance was phenomenal!!! Okay, I'll stop venting now....

WOW! I think I might like this show better without the judges. Personally, I don't care if they hold the tango hold the entire time, or if they do lifts. I'd rather be entertained, and just about every couple did that tonight. And I hope these people were warned about the severe penalty of low scores that would come with breaking the rules, bc people in past seasons did all of the same things, and never got penalized. If I was a professional dancer I probably would have thrown in a mini lift too, bc in the past they would have said something but not lowered the scores.

I don't see the big deal about the lifts. Are they afraid one of the stars might throw their back out or something? I guess it's an insurance thing and if somebody gets hurt doing a lift and it's stated specifically in the rules...then the insurance company won't have to pay...that's the best guess I have. This has probably been discussed a thousand times and I may have missed it, but how do they determine who does what dances? Like tonight...all the ladies, but Vivica did the jive and all the men did the Tango but Joey...who decides?

I've noticed in past seasons that the older dancers usually don't do the jive. Like Kelly Monaco did the jive when all the other women were doing tango, and O'Hurley danced the tango while the other men were doing jive that week. I assumed it was because of age. I know Vivica's not really old, but perhaps she wasn't up for all the bouncing? The scoring was outrageous tonight. Okay, they probably told them ahead of time what the rules were, but some of them seemed genuinely surprised when they were accused of doing lifts. Probably because they weren't clear on what constitutes a lift. Was Emmet really lifting when he kicked his partner off the floor? Does a lift only involve the arms? If your partner jumps up onto you and then falls backward onto the floor, is that a lift? It's also obvious that they were not informed ahead of time as to what point deduction would be taken for violations. Two judges took off 2 points, and one judge took off 4. That's ridiculous and blows their credibility. Sarah Evans danced a lot better today, although goodness knows there was a lot of departing from traditional ballroom jive in that number that went unmentioned. And didn't Joey Lawrence break his quickstep hold last week to do a tap dance in the middle of his perfect 10 routine? I understand them wanting to discourage the dumbing down of ballroom with flashy moves, but they need to be consistent and they need to let these teams know ahead of time exactly what's considered illegal. And maybe they could be flexible, like instead of only allowing freestyling at the opening and closing perhaps they could give them the option of doing it either in the middle for a specified length of time or at the opening and closing but not both. Dahli, did you check the website? You can vote online. The only phone number I remember is 1-800-868-3407 which was Mario. I gave him all 36 of my votes this week because I was so disgusted.
