LOL funny I've wanted to reply but haven't been feeling well tonight. But one thing I was going to say is I would be willing to bet that Donny will do the show next season. I had that feeling just on hunch, but when someone casually asked him if he would, he answered how right now he is debating and not sure. So what seemed like an off the cuff question was one he answered in a manner that seemed to me he is considering it, and made me wonder if he was asked (perhaps informally) by DWTS. And I don't think we have to worry bout him pulling a "Wayne" at all. He is a few decades younger, and he is an all around professional. I can't see him agreeing to go on the show unless he thinks he will/can do well. And he always was a WAY better dancer than Marie. So based on the amazing job she is doing, I think he might bring down the house. I hope he does it...I'd enjoy it myself lol. So here's betting we see him next year. K too worn out from all that to post what I was going to discuss...will try tomorrow. Some fast thoughts. I still think I was right bout Jenny Garth FWIW, but JMHO. Glad the right person finally left, and I think Samantha cut her maternity leave short when she saw the huge amount of fans wanting Drew to take her slot. Least he got the hosting gig on that new Dancing show the 2 judges are doing. Oh and ITA w/those that feel they are hoping for a female win this year. I think they cast it with women with much more potential to help insure that too. Remember they've gotten flack on how much easier it is for the guy stars and I think they wanted to even it up a bit (but I think they may have gone a bit too far towards the pro to that end).

A visual to prove my Donny point hehe....very short but think it shows he still can move pretty darn well (actually better than ever IMHO hehe). http://youtube.com/watch?v=aHkH1ABLz6k&mode=related&search=

Dang was too late to add this to my last post...found one more similar to above, and about as short. But think he looks even less "decripit" than the 1st video I posted (if possible hehe). Never quite saw hip action like this from him that I recall ;) http://youtube.com/watch?v=Oebx9U2CmFs

Okay, so Donny definitely won't "Wayne" us. Man, he is still yummy. Thanks, Lurk. Now you've got my hopes up that we really will see him in man-heels in about 6 months.

*Samantha Harris slips back into Dancing* The rest of the title: "Co-host’s bloopers inject surprising hilarity into the reality show" Sigh...

Did I see Wade Robson sitting in the front row during the opening?

I thought I noticed when Jane and Tony danced that both her feet were completely off the floor. Will rewatch later.

I musta missed Wade Robson. I could swear I saw Kelly Rippa though and I definitely saw the young lady that plays Julie on Desperate Housewives.

You saw right Loyolamom! Did you hear Tom say that Wade was going to be there to dance tomorrow night?

I thought the Superman theme was very odd... then DUH! Bruno has been calling Cam Clark Kent and Superman. I didn't think Sabrina deserved a 30. It was good but not perfect. Honestly, I didn't see a lot of actual Paso in it. Ian Zeiring was sitting in the front row, too, btw. :-)

Both Cameron & Floyd are terrible. You can see them thinking what do I do next?

Who was that blonde woman they kept focusing on in the audience after Sabrina's dance? Wasn't she one of the contestants in a previous season? I thought Sabrina was perfect, with just the right attitude and snap. I say that with a strange feeling of disappointment, because it really feels like she's too good for this show. It's like there was never any obstacle for her. No bad habits to break, bad posture, etc. Maybe if we could see a little more of her personality in the pre-dance clips I might feel differently. It's like there's this girl doing amazing dances and I can't bring myself to care one way or the other. I still give her one of my votes because she doesn't deserve to go by any means. The music choices...augh. I guess it doesn't even need to be said anymore. Poor Edyta really struggled with their assigned song, but they pulled it off in a great way. Loved it. Hopefully they won't keep doing the Superman thing every week, though. It was just great to see Cameron finally grab everyone's attention. Maybe he'll be the encore dance tomorrow. I rewound Jane's dance as soon as they started arguing about it. Her feet seemed to take turns lifting off the ground. Then right at the very end of the spin, both her feet came slightly off the floor. When they did the instant replay on the show, they froze it right before that moment. Carrie Ann's criteria would also disqualify all those dragging moves they did in the tango where the woman isn't moving herself across the floor, as well as the moves where the woman strikes a pretty pose and the man rotates her. Len sure has softened up a bit, though. Usually he's the stickler for the rules. I kept hoping Bergeron would ask Len what we should be looking for in the Viennese waltz. All the performances with one exception looked just like the regular waltz to me. I associate the Viennese waltz with a lot of whirling around and around like the end of Sleeping Beauty. Mel and Maksim seemed to get it right.

First....I love reading all of your critiques and thoughts on the show. It is like extending the convo my DH and I have while watching this together each time. Thank you. Second....whats the deal on Mark Cuban. His dance was much better than Floyd's, yet his score does not reflect it. This is the second time I feel he was robbed, score wise by the judges. Floyd looked ALMOST as bad as PDiddy out there. He did a lot of stomping around and had very poor posture, especially in the shoulders. Definetely not a matador to me. Curlyq I totally agree about the judges last night. It was like Carrie Ann and Len Goodman traded personalities...lol Third...surprizingly to me....I am totally enjoying Marie's performances, thought her head rolls last night were amazing and added to her dance. I never knew she had such a great personality and quick wit about her. She is surprizing me! Samantha is a tightly packed dynamo who is doing great! Jenny has really redeemed herself and has looked great the last two weeks also. Her Pasa Doble was so difficult last night but she definetly rose to the occasion...her professional partner is pretty amazing himself with some of his moves. Helio and Cam also stepped it up last night and I enjoyed both of them.

Curly, dragging a woman across the floor, or spinning her in an arabesque pose, is completely different from a lift. In a lift, both feet leave the floor for an extended period of time. Last night, there were a LOT of lifts. I don't blame Carrie Ann for getting on the contestants about that, although Len cracked me up with his "lift free zone."

I'm so glad somebody else wonders what is up between the judges and Mark? I think he tries so hard and he wants to be there so bad...and although he isn't as good as most of the other men he is improving week by week...and yet he gets the worst scores! This morning our female d.j. on Kidd Kraddock (who is in LA for DWTS and on a date...LOL) said he was so upset last night for getting the lowest scores. She said she thought he was much better than Floyd. She said Mark and Jenny really are very nice people in real life. I don't think she was that impressed by Floyd's personality. To me his taped piece seemed very forced (Floyd's that is)...see me interact with all these schoolchildren...stay in school, etc. It still bothers me that he holds his head like a turtle. But that's just my opinion and now I'm going to ABC to vote for Mark online.

I thought Mark Cuban was much better than last night. I could do without seeing Floyd again. He is definitely out of his element. It seems to me that there will be a female winner this year. (Unless Helio pulls it out.) I miss Drew. He seemed much more natural and relaxed during interviews.

I was disappointed in Jane's argument when called on something. I adore Helio, I wish he was taller. I was shocked at liking Cam's dance. Jenny I am so impressed with her as a mom and wife, who would have thunk it! She seems so insecure, it always amazes me. I am also nicely surprised at Marie too, she is just fun. Good for her. Sabrina and Mel are good but just doesn't do anything for me really. I also feel the Mark pain. Give me a break he looks like a pro compared to Floyd,ugh.

Curly, I was wondering who that woman was too. I've been wracking my brain trying to put a name to her face and have had no luck yet and it's driving me crazy! (not a long very long drive mind you Mark Cuban definitely got the shaft again last night. Floyd is wound up tighter than an eight day clock when he's on the dance floor and I have to fast forward through his dances. He did seem rather genuine when he was with the kids, but like you Roxip, I felt it was definitely a ploy to show the softer side of him. I wish he would be the one to leave tonight. I really enjoyed Sabrina and Mark again this week. I have to say though I didn't think they deserved straight 10's. I thought I saw more than a couple missed hand holds. I think they are really suited for each other. She seems to be able to match the speed and power that he dances with. It will be interesting to see how she does when she has to dance a waltz (if she's still there...and I hope she is). Mel B. and Max were great again last night. They're another couple that I feel really suit each other. She cracks me up! Helio was better this week but I agree with Len about that weird thing he was doing with his neck. I was thinking he kinda looked like a turtle. As always, Julianne was beautiful! Marie always makes me laugh. I love how she apologized to Jermaine and Tito! I thought she did a great job with her dance. Some of the music sucked...again. I felt really badly for Edyta having to choreograph to that Superman piece. Ugh! Can't wait to see Wade Robson dance tonight! Boberg, I'm like you in that I love to see what everyone has to say about the show!

I like Mark too but I was pretty surprised when I was flipping the channels and Donald Trump was on Larry King and he hates Mark, he was doing his usual trashing the enemy bit including the his stint with Dancing with the stars. I hope Mark stays a few more weeks. I also think that Marie is heavy on the feet, not light at all. I dont think Donnie should be allowed to compete -- He has starred in Broadway musicals, it isnt like he hasnt danced professionally before.

In my very long winded rambling I forgot to mention that it was really sweet of Max to stop and give Ashley DelGrosso a kiss when he and Mel were on their way backstage to get their scores. I miss her and hope she comes back next season! I'm also wondering how much weight Sabrina and Marie have lost since they started rehearsing for the show. They look great! Maris, The Donald was trashing someone? I'm shocked...that's so unlike him !

But the problem is that you have to be of a certain age to get Marie's joke...unfortunately I am of that age...LOL!

I would love to have Mark Cuban for a boss & I would NEVER work for Donald Trump! There is something called personality - one has lots of it & the other just has an inflated ego. Yes, I put my votes for Mark to stay. He won't win, but he is a joy to watch. I must say that Jenny always looks like someone pissed in her cheerios - what's up with that. To me, Floyd just looks funny when he dances - something about his shoulders & neck I think. I was a bit put off by Jane Seymour defending herself when she got called on her "lift". Hey girl, shake it off - you still got better scores than I would have gave you. Mel & Sabrina are probably the most talented women but I can't get into either one of them enough to vote for them. Marie is my fav. female - it's all about the personality. I like watching Helio - he seems to have some natural talent there. Cameron is too hyper for me - he's handsome though.

I just went to Mark Ballas's web site and discovered that he and Derek are best friends and he use to compete with Julianne. Mark's parents trained all three of them. There are some videos of them performing and rehearsing when they were young...too cute! www.markballas.com
