I actually think they overscored Laila in the pasa doble. It was nothing special or hard to do. I think they overscored to compensate what they thought would not be an outstanding free style by Laila. IMO, Laila is not or should not be in the race for the title just because she is a girl, or self proclaimed big girl. Nor should she get extra credit because she has bad knees. Since the audiance is doing 50% of the voting, its clear to me that if she doesn't win, its because the viewers didn't want her to win.

I just think Apolo and Julianne blew away the competition with their freestyle. Not taking away from Joey and Kym -- the lifts in their dance were outstanding -- but Apolo and Julianne were more like equal partners with him doing as complex a dance and Julianne which, in its own way, is the true nature of this competition -- to teach the celebrity to dance like a professional. Coming from no professional dance experience you have to consider that Apolo is amazing...and when I saw Joey dancing all I could think of was "He's done a lot of this before." Okay, maybe not as well as he is doing it now, but that intro and some of the moves were clearly "boy band" moves. Love Laila but she was outdanced last night.

I never said she should be in the race because she's a girl. I think she's at a disadvantage because she IS a big girl (no way could Maks do the lifts that Apolo or Joey did). The problem I had with Apolo's judges' dance was that I watched Julianne more than Apolo. He didn't do much with that dance, other than stand there while she did a lot. At least Joey rhumba'd!

I don't know much about the dances but Apolo's and Julianne's "judges dance" seemed so rushed. Like they were trying to put too much into it. Go Apolo!!

I didnt care for Laila's freestyle at all. I thought it looked too much like a cheerleading routine.

I kept getting distracted by the silver shoes. I was wanting the camera to focus on them so I could see if they had bangles on them (I don't know why I wanted to see bangles but for some reason I did).

Although Laila is very good, and I enjoy her chemistry with Maks, I never really feel *blown away* by her performances as I do at times with Joey and Apolo. Juliane has to be the most amazing dancer I've ever seen in my life. She is so natural and flawless. So cute too

I have a ridiculous girl crush on Julianne, myself. It was cooled somewhat by her hairstyle on Larry King the other night, but still.

Here's a little prediction that I hope does not come true. In the last judged dance tonight, these will be the judges' scores: Apolo = 9-9-9 Joey = 10-9-9 Laila = 10-10-10 This will give each one a grand total of 85 out of a possible score of 90, thus having the effect of removing the judges scores from the mix. It will be only the audience votes that count. As I said, I hope they don't do this, but it is what they did last year.

Her hairstyle on GMA the other morning was awful, too. And I do think she's a phenomenal dancer, but she's not the one being judged (or she's not the celeb).

Oh yeah. One dance tonight. The judges' scores from last night plus their scores tonight equal half the total. The viewers' votes last night are the other half.

I surely do hope someone is spoiling tonight. I already promised my mother I'd call her after it's on in the east, to let her know who won (as it's just coming on in Colorado then, in case she falls asleep in front of the TV).

Geez, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself!! Amazing Race is finished; Survivor is finished: The Bachelor finished last night, except he and "his chosen" are on tonight -- same time as AI; Dancing with the Stars finishes tonight, and AI finishes tomorrow night. I may have to turn back into a normal person again instead of a reality tv show freak!!

lol relax Rvon, we pretty much have a month to have a life, clean our homes, stock up on food and supplies then Big Brother will be here! (And no matter how lame the theme or casting we'll be watching every minute lolol). This is the first DWTS I have no clue who will rank what. I really do think Apolo will win, but for the life of me have no clue who will go 3rd. Very tight call tonight IMHO. They all were really good.
