I would take Jane's elegance over Sabrina's moves any day.

I finally had time to watch (love having the episodes on computer!) -- and WOW! I was most shocked when they said Jane was safe! I was somewhat surprised w/Marie, but I do think she has a pretty big fan base (and tons of relatives! LOL) that will call in for her. I just didn't realize Jane had that many, too. I truly did not enjoy her jive -it looked awkward and everything BUT fun. I didn't want Sabrina to leave - but I'm glad Jennie and Helio are still there. I like Cameron too -- and I think part of what I like about all three is their personality and the improvements we've seen them make. I'm definitely glad I didn't miss this season!

Sure is alot of controversy with Sabrina leaving early. I still dont think it was fair for her to compete in this competition with her dance background-Would it be fair if Paula Abdul or John Travolta were competing against Marie,Jenny,Mark Cuban and Cameron? Same thing IMO.

They've always had someone with a dance background competing -- and having dance in hip-hop is definitely NOT the same as ballroom. Doesn't bother me a whit, but I'm pretty easily entertained.

I too was very surprised that Sabrina was voted out instead of Marie (who was having trouble keeping up) or Jane. This season is so competitive it's difficult to guess who might win, there are several couples who might make it. Although I have not been that much into dancing, I regard this as one of the funnest shows you can watch. The mood is positive and the dancers seem to have a great drive to win and have fun--I admit it, I am addicted.

Oops, my post was removed!! Sorry to everyone and the mods!! I guess I was a bit to defensive and may have overstepped the rules a bit. But I would like to at least say that I wasn't suprised or sad about Sabrina leaving. and I loved Mel and Maks last week. Before the judges even commented I had rewound to watch again. Even though it was slow and not a lot of facny footwork and "difficult" steps, the emotion behind the movement really hit me and I thought it was just beautiful. And actually it was the emotion that was lacking in Sabrina's dancing, for me anyways... The thing I like most about this season is the comradery backstage. They all seem to really support each other (I hope those rumers about Jane aren't true). This is my favorite season so far!!

Stacey, I agree with you, the show had every right to cast her. And each voter has every right to use their own criteria to vote. What I think bothers me, is when the "public" is criticized by the judges and others for who they vote for, or in this case, who they don't vote for. I think they are just using all this "controversy" to bring more viewers in.

Haak, wonder if you still feel the same way this week? I personally feel so far that Marie's dance was BY FAR the best on every level (technical, entertainment, overall fun etc). I said last week that I felt she needed to really bring it this week and I think she did it and then some! Conversely, what a disappointment Mel B was. Talk about flat and boring IMHO. I don't think they did her any favors either by showing a package based on Mak being annoyed with her not putting in enough practice time and being frustrated w/her but I feel it showed. And good grief, who designed that montrosity that Jane wore for the first dance? I looked like they toilet paperered her arms! YIKES. Whoops Jenny is up, curious to see what she brings. I said last week I feel this is a huge make or break week for a few, and I still think so. Oh geez Jenny is dissing romantic dancing with Derek. I really get annoyed when she is so rude like that--seriously!! She sure has made it hard for me to like her JMHO! Oh one last comment...anyone notice they are all whining bout 2 dances but Marie?! I'm so impressed with her since this show started! K off to watch

Gak. I don't like Marie. Well, at least I know I won't have to worry about watching it tonight. (Although I like Mel B, so maybe...)

Actually I think Mel's DRESS (or what there was of it lol) was what was smoking. I was STUNNED they gave her 10's on that dance. When she was dancing I was wracking my head trying to figure out which ballroom dance it was supposed to be, and just didn't see it in there, and at first was stunned they didn't call her out on it. I think after her just terrible first dance they didn't want to risk losing her. Maybe it's me, but I felt it was a great dance in an amazing dress BUT I didn't feel it was a good paso. JMHO. I'll be fair and add a complaint about Marie's 2nd dance, although it's really a complaint directed towards Jonathan (who I like). But I feel sometimes his choreography can be too repeatative and filled with old moves. I've noticed it a few times in a few seasons, and thought Marie's 2nd dance was quite a reflection of that. Ironically it's usually on filler moves. Not sure if he is trying to give his partners their own "look" or make some steps easier to remember or what. But it bothered me a bit. Overall, the voting was a bit of a mystery as usual IMHO. I felt the judges were way too generous w/Jenny, Cameron, and esp with Mel on the 2nd dance. But then I felt they were too low on some others. I'm really not sure what will happen tomorrow. I think the judges clearly want Jane gone. I was thinking it might be Mel, but she likely saved herself w/her 2nd dance (esp if guys vote lolol). I think the top 2 tonight were Marie and Helio. Hope most of the voters agree with me lolol

Sorry Lurk, I don't agree with you tonight. I thought both of Jennie and Derek's dances were beautiful and that they were judged on the low side, especially on the first dance. IMO the songs used, the choreography and movements were very enjoyable. For some unknown reason, Jennie is my sentimental favorite. Unknown because I've never really been a fan of hers, never even saw BH 90210, though I do remember her from a few Lifetime movies. Gave her 2 of my online votes. All of my other votes went to Mel/Maks as they have almost every week. Thought the second dance was wonderful. I'm hoping for a Maks win this year. Edyta/Cam bore me, didn't even watch their second dance. Helio/Julianne are good, but not as great as they were early on. Marie does well, and I like who she is, but don't think she's finale material. I'm ready to see Jane go and hoping she will.

Jane's dress in her first dance looked like toilet paper draped all over her.
