Albert and Anna eliminated. Cheryl's jaw dropped in shock.

Read back up thread, Woofy. Jane's 92 year old mother passed away last night. There's a link to the article in People posted at 12:36 PM today.

Well that article sheds more light on Jennie Garth's reaction, and maybe she was just more emotional because she was sick, but it just seemed like she was being way too hard on herself. I figured it would be Albert or Mark, simply because fans will vote for the stars first. The less famous get the Trista Sutter treatment, and they always seem to be surprised by it for some reason. I was very surprised that Wayne Newton was in the bottom two already. Of course, his dancing was the weakest but I figured he'd go at least as far as Master P or Jerry Springer did just on his celebrity status alone. Very happy for everyone else and glad Jane will be returning, although I can't imagine how she'll find time to rehearse for next week.

Wow--Jane's mother survived Japanese concentration camp. Hope they give Jane a week off--let's face it, she's way better than Newton and Cuban.

So sad to hear about Jane's mother. I also hope they give her some latitude for next week. Helio is my favorite and I'm betting on a win for him this year.

Well, the first two out were both models, and what kind of fan base could a model have? So it's not a real surprise. If they insist on having models on the show, they need to get one who has "supermodel" status and is a known personality--Tyra Banks, for example. Even a race car driver would have a bigger fan base than a model . . . and fortunately for this season's race car driver, he's the best dancer on the show.

You don't need the ready-made fan base as much if you have the dance ability and personality for it...you can build the fan base on these kinds of shows. I didn't think Albert had either in the amounts he needed, so I am not surprised he was the one to go (though he seemed like a nice guy and was definitely not the worse dancer.) He came across somewhat flat and older than his age, which probably hurt him because it didn't get him the teenybopper votes. Helio has charisma in droves. I had never heard of him before this show, but I love him. I suspect I am not alone.

Here's a theory no one might have thought of: I think it wasn't Wayne's fanbase that saved him & Cheryl. It was CHERYL'S. Cheryl is arguably the most popular professional dancer on the show, and he fans don't want to see her go yet. Combine that with Albert not being well known, and the fact that in this stage of the show the judge score differences can be overcome more easily (it was 1.5% between Wayne and Albert based on the points), and I can see Wayne/Cheryl staying. I sense they might survive next week too (Kym has somewhat of a fanbase, so if it's between Wayne and Mark in judge score- it could be close), but eventually the differences in judge score will be too much to overcome (this week the difference between 21 and 15 judge scores was about 1.5% with 11 teams- with only 10 teams, that difference nearly doubles assuming a 21 point reduction in total points scored- about 2.8%)

Sorry if I missed this, but I read through all the spoiling and still can't figure out who was in the bottom three with Albert. Anyone?

I think Wayne Newton will go soon. Cheryl doesn't seem to have the ability to make their performances entertaining like Kim did with Springer. I couldn't stand Springer before DWTS, but enjoyed him alot there mostly due to the fact his performances were so entertaining...kind of like George Hamilton's previously. Was really glad to see Cuban stay another week. I think he got robbed score wise last week and he works so hard at it. Seems to me thought that there is something not quite right between him and Kim...not sure what it is tho...she just seems a little uncomfortable. "Helio has charisma in droves. I had never heard of him before this show, but I love him. I suspect I am not alone." No you are not Yesitsme...I love him, what a personality and he can dance to boot. He will go far with that combination. Carmenv...bottom three were, Albert, Wayne Newton, and then I believe saved just before the last two was Marie and the soap opera star. I think...lol

Actually there was no bottom three. Only bottom two - Wayne and then Albert. Everyone else was saved "in no particular order."

Wilson, I think your theory comes into play every season. I always vote for the professional(s) I like best rather than the stars, and have always thrown votes to Cheryl, that is until this season. While she is my favorite of the pros, Wayne Newton is SO bad that I just can't bring myself to vote for him. Doesn't help that I'm not much of a Newton fan anyway. While I'll be sad to see Cheryl make an early exit, I do hope it happens soon, just to get Wayne out of there. This season my professional votes are going to Maks and Kym as I would love to see either of them win the whole thing.

Cheryl has been working non stop. Right after DWTS, they (she) begins to rehearse for the tour, then they travel the US. She must be exhausted. Maybe they teamed her w/ Wayne knowing she might get an early exit and a chance for her to rest.

Thank you Boberg & Roxip. Didn't they do the bottom three in previous seasons, or am I remembering wrong.... Looks like this year they are definitely going with a bottom two. Maybe I'm thinking of Idol? I do get my reality TV confused sometimes! My favorites are the Cheetah girl (why can't I ever remember her name?) and Helio...and my pick to win is Helio! He is such a joy to watch!

I think Helio is the best dancer and he's also teamed with my favorite professional.

Carmen, Idol does bottom three... DWTS always has bottom two until the end when only three are left. Cheetah Girl is Sabrina (like the teenage witch, lol, that's how I remember it).

Carmen, I always call her "the Cheetah girl," too, and have to scroll up to the top when posting to sneak a peak at her name. (Thanks for putting them there, ye keepers of the board. They come in handy!) I also keep forgeting Helio's name...my two favorite dancers and I can't get their names down. But I am learning! I've always felt that the professionals get a bit of a shaft here. In some cases those of us who watch the show know (or maybe "like" is the word) them far better than some of the "stars."

Told ya I was getting my reality television mixed up! Sabrina is the Cheetah girl...Sabrina is the Cheetah girl...maybe if I say it enough times I'll remember it, huh? Ah, but calling her The Cheetah Girl is just so much easier for me.... Does anyone know if Jane will be on the show this coming Monday? I highly doubt it, but I wonder how they will handle it?

I think it is Cheryl's fanbase that keeps saving them as well. Go Helio, he is my favorite by far Though I have to say he may not be a grand dancer but I am pleasantly surprised by Mark Cuban

Jenny Wayne Albert Jenny was in the bottom 3? I just watched the first night and it appears I forgot to tape the second night. I can't believe Wayne stayed. I feel the judges are running the show this year by giving higher/lower votes to those they want to stay. I thought Jenny was the best of all the women and should have received 8's across the board. Everyone else was 'okay' and got 7's but Jenny stood out. She was very ethereal. I didn't feel Albert deserved his low scores either. I love the race car driver..sooo cute...and his partner and my second fav is Jenny and her partner. How many times can we vote online? I notice the voting by phone is only 1/2 hour now. Are they trying to stop people from taping and watching so they have to watch live and the almighty money-making commercials are seen? ETA: Just read this..sorry, didn't see it on my first read: Actually there was no bottom three. Only bottom two - Wayne and then Albert. Everyone else was saved "in no particular order." I'm so hoping Jenny wasn't down at the bottom three. She should have a large fan base from her two TV shows.

Cricket, you can only vote the same number of times on line that you vote by phone. (ex. 10 per e-mail address and 10 per phone line) I too love Helio and he gets the majority of my votes but last week I did give Marie a few votes.
