Oh...and there was a pro dance with a James Bond theme...and Anna and Jonathan from last year were back for it. I just love Anna...she's so feisty. Also...I was pretty impressed with the tour preview. It was Joey McIntyre with Kim, Lisa Rinna and Louis, Max and Willa and Harry Hamlin and Ashly. I gotta say Harry was a lot better than I remember...him and Lisa must have been practicing. It was actually really entertaining and if they were coming any closer than Jersey to me I would probably go. Cheryl and Drew and Joey and Edyta didn't dance in the jive tonight...I assume bc Cheryl, Edyta and Joey were still competing and couldn't rehearse with everyone else this week.

Thanks Chalupa! I was kinda expecting that it would be Emmitt and Mario in the finals, and I am SOOO glad you confirmed it! Now I just hope Emmitt wins the thing. (Wouldn't it just be too weird to have the football guy come in second two years in a row?)

I couldn't agree less. Emmit did a great job last night, for him, but he's still not on the same level as Joey and Mario. Last night was the first time he came close, and for me that's too little too late. He's the best of all the athletes who've done this show, but Evander Holyfield and Jerry Rice aren't tough to outshine. If he wins this, it's Kelly Monaco all over again. My prediction is that the fans who have been splitting their votes between Joey and Mario will now throw all their votes to Mario and he will win.

I cried when Joey was voted off. I wish there was some way to re-work this show so that no one gets voted off, that each team gets to dance till the end. All three in the simi-finals were wonderful, and really, everyone for the last few weeks have done a great job. I had a soft-spot in my heart for Joey because he was less familiar than the other two, and I knew he would be the one to go. I'm thinking, Yul Brenner remakes. "The King and I" should be first. Joey and ??? for the female co-star. What young female artist is classy, sings like Julie Andrews, can act, and looks young enough?

My DVR didn't work tonight! The one show it did not tape is the only show ABC does not offer on their site! I was able to watch the elimination thanks to Chalupa's mention of Pungin's website! But I would really like to see the whole thing! I did look in the Torrents but no luck.Does anyone here post the episodes? Or know where I might find it? Thanks.

I totally agree about Harry Hamlin last night...I was amazed at how relaxed he looked...and in the long shots you couldn't pick him out from the pros that easily...he done good!!

I guess I am happy with the final two.(I know my happiness is what is most important here) I would have been happy for any combination I think. I like Mario's dancing and think he is the best. I will be happy with Mario or Emmitt winning although we all know that Mario is technically better than Emmitt. (that ought to rile some people up!) I love Emmitt though, they both seem like complete sweethearts to me. I think the whole group last night really cared about each other and grew to like one another. I think Mario was just as loving as the next guy and I don't see the arrogance that some see in him. I think he is just a fierce competitor along with Emmitt. Neither wants to lose, and even though they are gracious to each other, they both want to be the guy on top. I see passion in both and am glad I got to see them through the season and watch the improvements and hard work they put forth. Hope they both do well in finals! I will miss Joey there, he was a joy to watch. Go Mario and Emmitt!

Emmitt could trip & roll off the stage & he would still get all of my votes. I'll start trying to phone in votes for him as soon as his # is shown. I don't need to wait until the end. I'll phone in the allowed 5 votes on every different phone I can find & I'll vote on line on both my personal e-mail & my work e-mail. I will do my part to get him that dang trophy. Nothing against Mario - except that his partner rubs me the wrong way (everyone that watches from my office have commented that she bothers them too - I don't know what it is). That being said - I just adore Cheryl!

I am an Emmitt fan too. He will be getting my votes next week unless he falls flat on this face (which I know won't happen). I always root for the underdog. To me, Mario has been good since day one even when they break the rules (like with the lift). When he gets comments about being as good as the professional dancers in like week 5 of the show, it just shows that he is way out of everyone's league on the show and shouldn't be there in the first place. JMHO. Emmitt - he listened to the criticism and improved each week and his joy of dancing just shows. I'd rather vote for someone who has improved than someone who has been good since day one. If Willa was still around, she'd be getting my votes. I'd love to see all the dancers remain in the competition and learn all the dances. Not everyone is good at every dance so one week they could get a 21 for their paso doble but get a 28 the following week for their jive. Then the scores from each week would be totaled to determine the final 2 or 3 couples. That way the audience voting popularity contest is in check and the "lesser" known stars wouldn't be hurt by it. The audience could vote when it gets down to the final 2 or 3.

I'm happy for Mario but sad for Joey. He really enjoyed and embraced the experience. I'm okay with Emmitt being in the final but I think we will see a huge difference in the technical difficulty of the dances. I'm not a fan of Mario's outside the dance show but I love Emmitt. However, I vote based on the dancing so my votes will most likely go to Mario. Would be fun if Emmitt out danced him but I don't think he has a chance.

the key is that they say vote for your favorite ... they had been careful in the past to not say the best dancer ...

I am happy with the final two, I like them for different reasons: When I watch Emmitt dance, it makes me wish I could spend the evening dancing with him ~ well I would have to learn how to dance first ~ and having a good time! When I watch Mario dance, it makes me wish I could dance a few numbers with him, then spend the rest of the evening somewhere......well.....somewhere more private!!!!

In this show I vote on the entertainment factor. If it were a professional ballroom competition then I would judge on technical values. But this is why it is a show on ABC with the popularity vote deciding the winner. Yes, Mario is technically the best dancer but he doesn't move me, IMO he is striving to be perfect and concentrating too much on the dance. He is a beautiful man but I don't connect to him during his performance. Emmitt makes me smile, he entertains me and draws me into his performance. He makes mistakes, but to me they aren't as noticeable since I am being enchanted by his charisma and the pure joy he exudes on the dance floor. To me, the beauty of dance is all about expression and the connection with the audience and Emmitt is the winner by a mile. On a shallow note, his wife is drop dead gorgeous. Did they meet when he was a Cowboy or were they college sweethearts?

Thx LadyT! She and Emmitt are such a perfect match and I just can't picture her with Martin Lawrence. I would love to see their kids cheering him on at the finale since this is such a wonderful family show.

Welp... this is the F2 I wanted Emmitt has a real shot at this -- I have dialed both his line and Mario's and gotten more busy signals with Emmitt. Tough choice. They both deserve it imho - the audience can't 'get it wrong'
