Hey, thought I'd check in and see what everyone was saying. Needless to say it's inspired me w/lots to say hehe.

First, they always make a BIG point prior to the bottom 2 of saying they are naming the teams "in no particular order." So we have no clue who fell where. I personally don't believe Marie was as low as someone mentioned, because she has given hysterical and charming performances IMHO, has a huge fan base, and from everyone I've talked to who watches she is one of the ones everyone looks forward to seeing what she will do this week. I'll even admit I'm hoping she puts up another YouTube video...I thought the first one was great fun. Sadly I would beleive Cameron Matheson (the soap star) might be low unless he loosens up soon. Don't know if anyone has seen Donny Osmond reporting for the Insider/ET and giving his opinions. They have been stunningly direct and rather harsh, but totally hit the nail on the head. I hope the teams hear him cause I think if many work on what he has said they would improve greatly. Guess being in the biz since toddling gives good insight hehe. But he spoke how stiff Cameron was and how Mark Cuban was not showing any enjoyment just major determination. I agree and since I like both of them, I would love to see them improve on those fronts SOON.

The talent is SOOO good this year that I think fan base and personality is going to play even a more major role than in the past. Most years there were at least 3 or 4 that were way worse than the others. I think only Wayne is currently "out of their league bad." BTW count me in as a person who never heard of Helio before but have enjoyed him a lot. So those w/out fan bases can win you over for sure IMHO. But so far I have mostly been voting for Marie and heavily for Mark Cuban last week cause I think the judges where horrid on him. He's not the best but there are others who were far worse IMHO.

LOL how appropriate -- they are on TV now. Mark Cuban lost think he said 27 lbs. This show is a great diet lolol. If I didn't think it would kill me dead with my back I'd give it a twirl lolol. Then again Jane Seymour almost didnt' do it cause she has a bad back....so who knows lol. But bad backs come in different varieties.

Anyway one more comment. I had always liked Jenny Garth prior to this show but BOY is she turning me off big time. So just as unknowns can win folks over, I think celebs can lose people too. She was very whiney in interviews prior to her fall, but she totally lost me when she was sooooo berating and degrading to her partner (for not being sexy enough for her to dance that way with...well isn't she an actress??? But what a thing to say on TV about your partner). But when they had that dress accident, the way everyone said she was hysterical and inconsolable afterwards (they showed her crying in some interviews too) and the looks of pure hate she gave him and her overall demeanor just lost me. I'm thinking she's not as nice as I thought, or this comp is not bringing out the best in her. But I know I am liking her far less each week.

We'll see about tonight...can't fathom how Jane Seymour had time to learn a number for tonight with going to England, dealing with all that goes with loosing a Mom, etc. Pity they couldn't give her a week off.

Oh one more thing...I think Drew Lachey is SOOOO much more fun than Samantha. Hope she takes a very long maternity leave (like permanently lol). I never felt she added much, but to see someone who is makes me really not want her back lol

And I always call her "the Cheetah girl" too. I think her dancing is very good, but she hasn't captivated me personally yet. But I expect she will be around for a good while longer so we'll see :-)

Maks was hot, but did Mel B dance well? I thought she was OK, but nowhere close to where the judges saw her. I saw her as stiff and a bit awkward at first.

Wayne just makes me uncomfortable!

I have to go check my ABC station to see if it's the football or regular programming since when I just passed by ESPN was on with the game, so maybe we're getting blacked out, but that doesn't make sense if Twinks is getting it. I guess I'll see as soon as I post this. I hate Monday night football!

Well yay!!! It IS on here and I just got to see Helio dance. I didn't see the very beginning, but I thought he looked great out there!!! I'm still pulling for him to win!!! :-)

Floyd and Wayne...gotta go.

Really...none of the men this year seem to be that talented when it comes to dance.

Helio...best of the bunch.

I know...but it's just all too convenient to me.

It's totally set up for a woman to win this season.

I felt Mel B was good but just didn't have the speed and lightness that the Cheetah girl did, which is understandable given how young the other girl is.

I had a feeling Helio would have tougher time with the jive. When I watched last week's mambo a second time, blocking out Julianne and only watching him, I noticed that he really hadn't done much considering how everyone raved about him. Too much of the time he was just standing still while Julianne twirled. This week he had to jive and that's one dance you can't fake it through. You have to nail it or every weak point will show. He was still good, but not the amazing dancer people thought they saw last week.

In my opinion the weakest dancers at this point are Wayne, Floyd, and Mark. The rest are showing enough potential that any of them can make it to the end if they continue to improve.

Lurk, I think you may have misunderstood Jenny Garth. After tonight's show we now know that she wasn't crying last week because she hit her head, or because she was angry at her partner, or even because of that last fall. She was crying because she believed she had messed up the entire performance with a lot of mistakes. She's apparently very, very hard on herself and looked nearly ready to cry again when Len pointed out her weaknesses in the tango. I think that's why Carrie Ann tried to encourage her with the high fives. And I don't think she meant to insult her partner. I sensed she was just feeling uncomfortable getting so physically close to someone so much younger than her. She seems to have gotten over that, though.

How many more seasons do you think they'll go before it dawns on them to fix their sound problems? It gets harder and harder to hear Bergeron over the music and the screaming audience. It also would've been nice to hear the end of Jane's pre-dance comments rather than watch her lips move to the sound of the roaring crowd.

I loved what Marie and Jonathan did with their song, but I felt sorry for Cameron and Edyta getting stuck with the Sonny & Cher song. How can you create a passionate dance to such a hum-dee-dum tune? Cameron is this year's Ian Ziering, dancing well but getting overlooked and undervalued.

Count me in the number who find Drew much more fun than Samantha ever was. :-)

Curlyq, thanks for posting your comments on the problems with the sound on this show. I thought it was just me, or my tv's setup. It drives me crazy. The volume is cranked up so loud that the music sounds like the band is physically in the living room, but I can barely hear Tom, Drew, and the judges when the speak and what I can hear always sounds muffled.

I so didn't get that Jennie was criticising her partner. She seemed to be totally upset with herself. I like Mark!
Jane touched my heart.

I thought a few got inflated scores. Mel B, Marie, Jennie... for sure. No where did I see any "9's" from them. I agree that Helio didn't do as good as usual, but I thought he did better than those three fems.

I like Drew and he is getting better (he was driving me nuts that first week saying to call, text, or EMAIL!!!! WTH????). He definitely has more personality and he's "been there" but I don't think he's that great as a host.

I love Wayne's personality, but he really needs to go. I love Cuban's intensity, but he really needs to go. I love Floyd's intensity also, and he really did pick it up this week, but I think he needs to go, too.

I predict F2 will be Helio and Sabrina, with Sabrina taking it! (We definitely need a female win for a change!)

Many are mentioning how Jenni supposedly "dissed" her partner last week in the intro clip before their dance. Those intro clips are set up and planned out by the show's writers to feature various difficulties the stars and dancers go through and to showcase their personalities. She wasn't criticizing her partner, she was teasing him humorously for the camera. Sure, there may have been some initial awkwardness in dancing with a much younger partner, but they featured the two of them making a joke about it. But obviously this clip didn't work since so many thought she was being seriously rude to him.

I agree with others here who think Drew is so much better than Samantha in the secondary host position. Unfortunately, because Samantha is on maternity leave, the producers will have to accept her back . . . unless they can find another comparable position for her.

This is a nice warm up for Drew, who will be the announcer for the Carrie Anne/Tonioli show that starts in January.
DWTS show seems to jumpstart careers. Lisa Rinna, Drew, etc.
I hope Donny Osmond agrees to do the next DWTS.

My take on the Jennie thing was that she has a bashful side and that she is somewhat conservative. It looked to me like she has strong ideas of limits between herself and members of the opposite sex and was simply embarrassed with the questions about her sexy male partner. I have been at a party having a conversation with a guy in his 20s (I am in my 40s) and had someone make suggestive comments about it later and my first thought was "Yuck! He is a child!" Also dancers that I have met are sometimes very free with their bodies (and their affections) and that can be a bit overwhelming when you first meet them. She has young daughters and maybe she was just very conscious of not confusing them as to why someone other than daddy has his hands all over mommy! It seems to be subsiding as time goes on....they are seeming more comfortable with each other.

Jennie has become one of my favorites. I felt so bad for her when she fell...and it looked to me that she was just embarrassed and upset with herself for having it happen. And who wouldn't be?

I think Floyd or Wayne to go tonight. Think they are both fine people, but I would be OK with either going. I think really that Wayne deserves to go first, but I think that too many people are still voting for him.

So far Jenny/Derek did the encore dance. Jenny/Derek and Jane/Tony are safe.
