That's exactly why I don't like Mario. Haven't liked him since the thing with his wife...and he just gives off such <100> vibes to me while dancing and rehearsing, unlike the joyous vibes people like Emmitt give off. I'd much rather watch Emmitt and Cheryl laugh and smile through a performance and rehearsals than whatever it is that Mario and Karina are doing.

Again, if I wanted to watch the best dancers do these dances, I'd watch REAL ballroom dancing on PBS. But I don't. I want to watch these celebs have fun and grow as dancers and entertain me. And Emmitt and Cheryl, and Monique and Louis do that for me. Mario just creeps me out...lol

And I think Carrie Ann should watch it when comparing Mario to the professional men. He may be a good dancer, but he's nothing compared to them. The judges did the same thing with Stacy last year, and if I was a pro on that show, I would be a bit insulted.

I put all of my 5 internet votes towards Emmitt & Cheryl. They are my favorites & I will only vote for them as long as they are still in the comp.

Jerry's fans may have voted enough to keep him even though it's obvious he is ready to hang up the towel. If Jerry would have been my fav., I would not have voted for him last night simply out of respect for his wishes.

Jerry should go tonight, but I think Monique & Joey may need to worry that it could be either of them.

It is time for Jerry to go. His campy routine is now stale. He can dance at his daughters wedding but bye bye. Time for Monique to go as well. She is very stiff. I like Emmett best of all.

Thanks Woofy.

Hukdon...women's intuition is very valuable...I always pay attention to mine. But please don't compare Mario to Dr. Delicious...lol

Bottom two? I wanna say it will probably be Jerry and Monique. Jerry practically begged to be let go. Let it be so!

I think Sara did what a lot of celebrities are doing nowadays - taking the wind out of the sails of public speculation.

I'm not overly fond of Mario but I do like his dancing - well at least until he grabbed himself a la Michael Jackson during the disco number.

I have a different take on the Mario thing. It said in that article that she had been warned about his infidelity and yet she still went ahead with the wedding. Shame on both of them! Most on him, honestly, but sometimes we women get so involved in the planning of the ceremony and the fairy tale that "he will change once we're married" that we go ahead and make the huge mistakes.

Hopefully the next woman he gets seriously involved with will know better. Once a cheater...you know the rest.

And it doesn't have anything to do with his dancing. He dances quite well.

I think Jerry wants out and he should leave. If he doesn't get eliminated tonight one of the other, better dancers will, and that's just not right. We're at the point in the competition where it should be about the dancing and not about who's the funniest or most appealing character.

I wasn't impressed with Joey in the disco portion last night. I thought he was the weakest of the group (except for Jerry of course). Quite honestly I thought Emmitt and Cheryl were the best because they looked so natural.

Monique danced well last night -- it was just unfortunate that it wasn't the dance she was supposed to be dancing!

I thought Sara handled the interview with a lot of class. I give her a lot of credit. She did not go into specifics, nor did she need to. She emphasized that her priority is her children, and I agree with her. I thought it was very classy of her. It showed a lot of inner strength to stay composed throughout the interview, too. (And I agree... the Internet was definitely the elephant in that interview room.)

No one mentioned Edyta's stumble last night. I do think they didn't deserve higher points... I just don't really see much chemistry between the two.

Speaking of chemistry, or lack thereof, I think that's why I don't like Louis. I have yet to see him have any real chemistry with any of the stars he's danced with. I think Louis is all about Louis. There is almost no chemistry between he and Monique.

I don't know why the judges were so harsh on her solo, however. Mario's solo -- although it was not called to anyone's attention before the dance -- lasted longer than Monique's. I do think where Monique missed though was krumping. Hello? What the heck did THAT have to do with a samba?

Jerry is joke. What worries me is that they pulled the same publicity stunt that what's her name did last year... a public appearance with signs that said to vote for Jerry (whether the public themselves brought the signs is irrelevant... the public watching last night saw those signs). Even with his abysmal scores, it is conceivable that he could avoid elimination tonight. I'm not sure either of Jerry's and Kym's "dances" were even dances.

Love the disco number... they all looked like they had a lot of fun with it. Loved the lifts, too!

I'm hoping Emmitt and Mario are in the F2. I think Emmitt has a lot of fun dancing, and it really shows. I think Mario has a lot of natural dance ability, and that shows, too. I think he's trying too hard, though, and if he just chilled a bit (and pulled back a wee bit on the "I'm too sexy for my life" routine) he might get higher scores. I love Karina, though... such a beauty. And she's a good match for Mario.

I dunno about Joey. His looks kinda freak me out (and I really don't know anything about him at all... he's an actor? in what?). I've liked Edyta in the past, but I think she's, I dunno... showing off this season? Overperforming to compensate for Joey's lack of charisma? (I think her "poses" during almost every dance routine are getting old. And yeah, I smirked when I saw her stumble out of that arabesque type pose last night, and giggled when she hadda quick step to catch up to the routine. Bad me, but, hey... at least I'm honest!)

Jerry clearly needs to go. If he isn't marked for elimination tonight, and if he were a "better man" (said loosely since I know nothing about his character), he'd offer to leave in place of whomever does get the axe. If he was being honest with himself, he would do that. However, I think his ego won't allow it. Too bad, since truly, he's a joke. And parading around waving a cape or part of Kym's costume does not a dance make. (BTW, I don't think he's funny or entertaining at all. Never have. Never will. Bleah.)

I would guess that if the background of each celebrity was picked apart, there could be many skeletons and/or behaviors that a lot of people wouldn't care for. I don't think about any of that when watching this show - it is about entertainment and dancing. No one is perfect...Of course, that is just me

I heard somewhere (and agree with) there are generally three sides to every story: one side from each of the parties involved and then the truth. Now that's not to say that one person's version isn't closer to the truth...

With that being said, I currently think the top dancers are Mario, Joey, and Emmitt. Emitt is trying so hard and I think he is doing extremely well! It would be really great if he won!!

I second Boberg - please do not compare Mario with Dr. Will - Dr. Delicious is one of a kind!!

Back to lurking I go......

As much as I think Jerry should go tonight, I don't think anyone is leaving tonight. Tom never said once last night to tune in to find out which star is leaving. He said tune in to find out what will happen. I bet they combine scores and votes from this week with next week and eliminate someone then. I think that's the best way to go.

I love Emmitt and would love for him and Cheryl to win. That would be great for Cheryl to win two seasons in a row...I think she's a tremendous teacher and choreographer and it shows when she dances with her partners (both Emmitt and Drew)

Sorry folks, I tell it like I see it! Mario gives me the same heebee jeebies that Dr. Will did.

I'd like to see Emmitt go far in this. His happy face just makes me smile!

Chalupa....I bet you are right, although Jerry cannot be eliminated soon enough for me!

I did not know about Mario's marriage/divorce. In fact I do not know anything about any of the dancers' lives with the exception of Sara as it has been in the news.

Frankly if someone is amused that I think Sara's husband is pretty low to the ground and I enjoy Mario's dancing, so be it. Glad to be of service in the amusement department!

I haven't been watching too intently this year. Wasn't crazy about Sara but she could have improved since I watched. But I really think it is a "protest too much" situation to not just keep private dirt private and not be talking about it EVERYWHERE. She could have stayed on the show, even, with less damage to her kids than this must be causing.

Also the other woman has been on some programs claiming it isn't even true.. but who knows?

Maybe it would be easier to recognize Joey with hair :-) but he is one of the top child actors ion history if you think about it - two hit shows, plus two other shows that didnt last as long as they deserved after he grew up -

Give Me a break, Blossom, then the show with his two younger brothers that was on UPN or WB a few years ago and then he in American Dreams as the producer of Bandstand the first year or so

his brother matthew was in Boy Meets World - all three brothers have the same look and boyish charm that came through when Joey was 5 years old on Give Me a Break

Legalboxer, you have that man's career down! I knew all of that, but couldn't have said it in a million years. I like him a lot. He seems to have such a sweet nature about him. I hope he makes it to the final two or three. It is so hard to decide. I also like Mario and Emmit.

I feel nothing but empathy for Sarah. I believe that she tried to keep it private but her husband may have made that impossible. Who knows the truth? I choose to believe her and love that she is putting her children's emotional well being first.
Joey is a very handsome man, I believe, from the inside out! Who the heck cares if he doesn't have hair? He can dance too!
I too, am voting for Emmit & Cheryl. I love them both!
Jerry is a great guy but I hope he goes tonight.
Mario is a wonderful dancer. I agree with somebody up thread that if he cheated on hs wife of two weeks that he must not have been in love with her. Good for the woman to find out only after two weeks instead of years down the road and several kids later.

I brought up Mario's indiscretion because people were carrying on about how Sara(h)'s husband is this terrible person. (Obviously the facts are not known, only supposition based on Internet chat and one-sided interviews. )

In the next sentence these same people raved about Mario, his dimples, his smile, his being a dreamboat.

Mario's being a cad is well documented ...

Neither (probably) are saints, but don't judge someone before the facts are out!

I can like Mario and not like Sarah's husband based soley on the fact that Sarah's husband once was a politician, lol!
If a woman can't see that Mario is not ready to be serious based on how much he gets around then I feel sorry for that woman.

and lets look at the FACTS and not group all men who cheat in the same group... Mario's wife found out that he cheated on the night of his bachelor's party - which is totally wrong and i understand wanting to get a divorce when finding out so soon that the man you were with for 6 years cheated on you right before the wedding

but IF the facts in Sarah's divorce papers are true (not from chats or interviews but the actual divorce papers) then her husband IS just a sick and twisted man to think he can not only cheat on her, but have porn on all 3 computers, including the one the kids can see, plus place disgusting online ads for sex with him, and all the other graphic stuff listed in the actual divorce papers...

adultery/cheating is wrong no matter what, but i would never put Mario's cheating at the bachelor party in the same group as all the sick things Sarah's husband did - if the divorce papers are true (and i am sorry but they just are too detailed to just be made up)

should all this matter with DWTS - maybe not - but we root for the people we are emotionally invested in, for whatever reason - and so the character of a person does matter to some people when viewing how much they like someone's dancing

Beautifully put, Legalboxer ... but the "Facts" in divorce papers are not always true. Just a thought to ponder.

Legal, thanks for saving me the typing.

Sara did focus on her son last night. I'm thinking this child saw something that turned his world upside down and if his dad is responsible for that, I hope he gets everything he deserves plus a lot more.

You all will be please to hear that after voting for Jerry each and every week, I did not last night. It is clearly time for him to go. He was the weakest last night by a long shot. I never thought I would enjoy him on the show, but he clearly surprised me and geniunely entertained me.

I'd like to see a Mario/Emmett final 2.

One can definitely be a dreamboat with dimples, a heck of a dancer AND a cad. One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Just saying!}
