Ugh! I don't watch the show anymore because I can't deal with Marie. I just watch clips or read about it here. Very sorry to see Jenni go. I agree with Costa about ET!!! It's gotten ridiculously annoying!

I now wonder if the Osmonds' "institution" are paying big bucks for Donnie and Marie's publicity on ET (the show is getting ridiculous!) to pump up their fans, I can't explain it otherwise. Seems hard to believe that Mary wants to have Donnie every single night taking the stage at ET if not for some deals they have (they couldn't be doing it for free!). In a way I feel sorry for Marie because it's obvious that she isn't staying because of her score and that only invites more criticism... while Jenny going was felt "unfair" by many and got extra applauds from the judges. This savings business must come to an end (I didn't watch previous seasons) but I can't believe that they would allow the fans to have the last say! Or the producers would let the audience think they have a say but decide who the real winner should be (for once I'm not going to complain about this). I don't agree that a woman should win this year when we have Helio who seems by far the best improved and the most dashing dancer this year. It should be a close race between Mel and Helio but Marie should be a definite third!!!

Personally I would rather have the Donnie and Marie show than the Anna Nicole Smith show. I voted for Helio this past week because I think he probably was the least known of all the remaining contestants at this point and time and I just think he is adorable. He really seems to be having a wonderful time. Obviously the man already has a great life as a very successful racecar driver, but he has stepped way out of his comfort level and made a success out of it and I respect him for taking the risk and doing so well with it. (I wonder what thought process makes you wake up one day and think: I think I'm going to try and get on DWTS and work nonstop for 9 weeks doing something I've never done before in front of millions of people...that must have been one CRAZY dream!) Having said that, I think Mel B is probably the BEST dancer at this point, and certainly the most mesmerizing. Marie is cute and bubbly and has a lot of public empathy and support and Helio is very likeable and has worked so hard...they are a good final 3.

In a way I feel sorry for Marie because it's obvious that she isn't staying because of her score it's not that obvious to me. imho, she's a better dancer than Jenni...but probably not more than Helio or Mel. even though I would like to see a woman win, I gotta give major probs to Helio. He truly is what I think the competition is about..take someone with no dancing background and make them a dancer.

I will just say that Donny is definitely getting on my nerves. He might mess it up for Marie in the end. Any of the three I would be okay with winning. They all bring something, their own little touch, if you will. I was surprised when Jenny said she was most out of her element (not exact words) of all the people there. Um, hello? Have you met Helio?

Stacey, don't fight the pain. Make sure the docs releive your pain enough to get better and possibly dance like Flatley again. I take it you want Mel to win? The odds are she will win, but I'm hoping for a Juianne/Helio win. Julianne and her brother Derek are two of the most talented dancers/choreographers I've ever seen. They are just stunning to watch. I'd like to go see this group's tour.

Here's the addy to Jenny's blog. She's fine with going last night except for feeling bad for Derek. It would have been amazing to see him and his sister as the last two pros standing, lol. http://www.okmagazine.com/news/view/1716/ I love Marie to death, but I'm getting kind of scared that it's going to be her and Mel in the finals, as Helio doesn't have as many fans possibly. I'm going to have to vote for him next week with every phone I can find.

I think that Jenny is as good as dancer as Helio or Marie. Mel B, imo, is the best dancer but that doesn't surprise me since dancing is a big part of her career. I enjoyed all of thier personalities. Jenny is very sweet and a little shy which is too cute. They all can dance better than I can and I have loved this season. I won't be disappointed whoever wins this.

Helio as a two-time Indy winner sure has a larger fan base than Apollo Ono...and look where Apollo wound up. Anything is possible!

Marie is still there AND Michael Flatley was awesome, what a night! I would have liked it to be more suspenseful tho. They should have let us bite our nails over Marie and Jennie at the end of the show. Kind of underwhelming the way they did it with Marie safe, right out of the gate.

LOL thanks Costa, I needed that today. Actually Cricket I think I want Helio to win, I haven't let myself wrap around it yet, cause all I know for certain is that I want Marie gone this week and the two best dancers in the finals then I will relax and say Go Helio! (I think!)

Great show last night! Michael Flatley and his group were awesome. I would definetly pay to see more of that. Sabrina and Mark were also very good...only problem was the cameras cutting away from them to the boring singer. I don't watch ET or read people magazine because I couldn't care less what all those people with the over-inflated egos are doing, who was caught drunk driving, who partied too hard, who was seen with who.....who cares, they don't live in the real world and for some reason seem to think we care about their opinions. That said...it was interesting the link about Mel B and Eddie Murphy...I didn't know she had a child by him and that he is such a dead beat. Typical Hollywood behavior....watch he will be on TV this political season telling us who he thinks we should vote for though...lol Happy here with the F3. In my opinion...Mel and Helio are the best dancers but since Marie has entertained me more...any of the three as winners would make me happy. I have not noticed the "attitude" some have posted about re: Mel B...maybe cause whenever she is on, usually Max is on and I can't take my eyes off him, especially when he is in those tight black pants strutting around, swiveling those hips that are atop those long neverending legs......... uuu, sorry, what were we talking about...lol

Max scares me, he's like Mr. Uber-Testosterone! I like Jonathan, he's soooooooooo cute, has the sweetest smile, and he's kinda bashful, which I find endearing.

I think Mel and Max have been almost flawless the past couple of weeks. I wonder if Mel's performances would be as exciting if she had a less exciting partner, such as Jonathan. I wonder if Marie's would be more exciting and appear flawless if Max was her partner.

Good question SlinkyD! Food for thought there. I think that Mel is a natural and would still lead the pack. I wonder if Marie could tame (charm) the Max-beast, meanwhile I do think he might up her game. He's a take no prisoners kinda guy.

I want Julianne to win (oh and her partner is pretty good too). Seriously, I love the way she dances, the way she treats her partners, the way she teaches and her whole attitude. It is great. I'm also very impressed at how well Helio has performed and how much he has learned. As a dance couple, they are nice, they are exciting and they are fun to watch. Mel and Maksim are fun as well. I'm not a huge Marie fan but I do appreciate what she has done in the competition. She just seems a little forced to me.

Jimmer, I agree with you. Marie has the 'Smile, Baby-June!' thing going. In other words, she and her brothers were raised that the performance is the be-all and end-all. On Larry King, or was it Oprah, (Shrug) the Osmonds said that they did miss out on some fun kids stuff growing up, because they were raised to be professionals first, last, and always. As for Max and Mel, yep, they are mesmerizing. The producers assign him these strong women, Laila, Mel to teach and I think that's great. I missed the previous seasons, who did they pair him with before?

I had two similar thoughts last night, that I would love for them to do when they are down to 4 in the future. One I would love to see each of them change up a dance and do it with another partner. Two, I would love to really see them all do the same exact dance. I think that will show the best test of them all. Side by side the exact same dance can really separate the teams.

Side by side the exact same dance can really separate the teams. Stacey - that's a brilliant idea! Luv it! BUT who would choreograph it? One of the judges?

I do not like Maksim. As a matter of fact, I actively dislike him quite a bit. I will not go into why, but with that in mind, I do not want Mel B to win, because I want him to lose.

I don't get all the Marie hate this year. Last year I was a huge Mario fan, and I think he CLEARLY outdanced Emmett. But because of his fan base, Emmett won. I don't recall everyone being this upset. And I honestly believe that Marie was better than Jenny. As for next week...well all I can say is I hope she works real hard this week! As for them paying ET...I'd say that's vice versa. Have you seen the hits this month on their site? Either The Osmonds, Marie or Donny have filled out all their lists as most emailed, top tags etc. I think fans are revolted by years of Lindsay and Britney (raises hand as one), and are thrilled to see folks with real talent again. I agree it is a little much BUT alot of it is just fate and timing. I am sure they signed Donny on to work for them seeing the popularity when he did a few spots. But then their Dad died, Marie fainted, the Larry King ambush about Marie's son etc all came out of the blue and were stories that got added on to all the other planned stuff such as Donny's commentaries and the family's 50th anniversary. Combine all these things and it is almost too much publicity. But like someone (Texannie went to look lol) else said, I'd rather see anything Osmond than more Britney, etc any day! Also, at least most contains something newsworthy, unlike watching Britney drive. How man hours a day does that girl spend in her car??? Yup I'd take Osmond stuff anytime over watching that! Just wish they would show more of the entire family singing etc. I think many folks....well I know I did...forgot how good they really are, especially compared to some artists today. Hearing them sing on Oprah reminded me what really good voices sound like, not just overly produced music. ETA-- ITA w/Ginger!! He bugs me, but think Mel is a female version of him. Don't enjoy either one personally!
