I don't see Joey as having a big ego. Maybe it's just me. He seems like a nice guy.

Mamie, maybe it's that boistrous Italian way Joey has about him that make people think he's egotistical? I love him and don't see it that way, but maybe it's part of it.

That just goes to show that voting can make up a pretty large difference in scores! Wow! Ian had a 47, and Joey had a 55? or 54? right?

Joey does have a huge ego (though I like the guy - he seems down to earth and fun). What got me was that he was asked to do this show twice before and turned them down twice because he didn't think the show was good enough for him. All of a sudden, the show is now big and it's OK to accept. That made me not want to like him when the show started. Of course voting makes a huge difference. There have been many weeks when people in the bottom 2 were safe and people placing 4th or 5th from bottom were booted.

Why don't people think Laila is cocky if they think Joey is? She voices her cockiness as loudly as Joey does.

Laila's cockiness is part of her persona, her boxing persona. It's also part of her dad. I think her cockiness is more an act, rather than ego. I think Joey's got ego (and if he really truly didn't want to do the show till it became a hit, well, 'nuff said, yes?)

Since the majority of viewers are female, I don't think a female will win this competition. Sadly, if you are a survivor or big brother viewer you know all too well that girls don't stick together. Laila's trash talk, just might do her in. They all want to win and they all have big ego's.

I don't think that Laila's cockiness is an act, no more than her father's was. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Nelly Furtato sounded like she was singing through her nose. (flashback to AI, nasal is a song type per Chris)

Muhammed Ali and his family are Muslims, so how can Laila danc so suggestively with such skimpy costumes on? Are American Muslim restrictions less rigid? I think I even remember when the women in Ali's family wore veils.

This is the first season I've watched and I'm really enjoying it. Ive never watched ballroom dancing, but I have to say I like the amateur celebrities more than the professionals. They seem almost mechanical and inhuman in their movements. My favorites are Apolo and Laila-love their passion and enthusiasm. Don't care for Ian-trying too hard Joey is cockey even though he denies it. I also think he had an unfair advantage coming in. Anyway, loving it!

Just finishing watching both shows. I have said before that out of the last four I pick Ian for 4th but jeez those judges make it hard NOT to root for him. He just can't seem to make them happy can he? Billy Ray obviously had a HUGE following, will be interesting to see next week where those votes go. For me, the edge Laila and Joey have is their personalities.. larger then life energy, charming, great humour. This week I see Apolo rising up a bit in that dept, perhaps he is relaxing now that he is more confident in his dancing ability. If Ian could find a way to get his personality to translate the final four could be really close. Maybe he needs to mess his hair and put spinach in that big-toothed smile.

Who said Laila was a Muslim? Just because her dad converted doesn't mean she necessarily did ...

I'm wondering if Ian really has much personality to showcase. I've not really seen much in the behind the scenes clips. And I don't believe Laila is Muslim, either.

I think Billy Ray's votes will go to Apolo. Youth loves youth, if you know what I mean. Those of us who are slightly older (LOL) will probably spread our votes around. My first inclination would be to vote for Laila, and second would be for Apolo. I think Apolo is the best dancer, but I have a soft spot for Laila. (By the way, I haven't voted all season but if I did I wouldn't have voted for Billy Ray -- love him to death but this is a DANCE competition, not a nice guy's competition). I think Laila has probably grown the most in the competition as a dancer. Apolo had a lot of natural physical talent and he has grown too, but I think Laila's transformation has been more significant in all aspects. She seems so much more confident in herself as a graceful, beautiful woman. I would love a Laila/Apolo final, with the edge going to Apolo to win. Oh, I have a question...do the professionals dance throughout the whole performance by the musical act? I was so annoyed last night when Louis and Cheryl were dancing (and they were fabulous) and they cut back to Nelly (Nasally I would call her)...I wanted to see them dance. Maxim's brother might be the better dancer but Max has the better body...IMO.

Costa, Billy Ray has a very large young audience because of Hannah Montana, which I also love to watch.

Exactly what I was thinking, right down to the nasally, but as we all now know nasally is a singing style accoridng to Chris on American Idol, lol. I prefer Nelly in the early days before her whole makeover. I would much rather watch the dancers than the singers.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who thought Nellie sounded horrible, like she had marbles in her mouth. They must do a lot of studio work on her albums. Yikes. Time to start voting I guess, after Joey was in bottom 2. I think he's entertaining and I'd like to see a Joey Apolo final 2. I enjoy Ali, but her big ego is starting to bug me. I think 90210 is just dorky. Maybe it's because I never liked him much on that show, but his dancing just makes me laugh sometimes, and not in a good way.

ok, I've made up my mind, I want Laila to win this. I love her attitude and her charm and her partner!

I am with you Denecee!! I can so see Ali's charm and spunk in his daughter. Just watching her makes me smile, I don't even care that I have to wipe up DH's drool. I said before that I would like Joey to be 2nd, Apolo 3rd and Ian 4th but switching up Joey and Apolo would sit well too. I am loving that all four of the remaining stars really have a good shot at taking home a win. The above is my preference but this is my prediction: Apolo - win (he started out quieter and more reserved and is just now really coming out of his shell, this change adds a new dimension to his dancing and will attract voters) Laila - 2nd (if she could get daddy to show up at every show, it might attract some new voters, perhaps enough for a win? I know my hubby made this a must-see episode when we told him Ali was in attendance) Ian - third (this is based on the # votes this week which kept him out of the bottom two in spite of a large score gap) Joey - fourth (again based on his low voter support which couldn't overcome the high score)
