Speaking of hosts, I think the best out there is Cat Deeley from So You Think You Can Dance. She seems to love the contestants, is quick on her feet and presents extremley well. Samantha's low voice grates on me as well. Not a big Sabrina fan only because I feel she is mostly a dancer by craft and does not belong in the group. Too advanced.

Do you think Jennifer will announce on live tv that she is with child? For the publicity for the tour and album?

the jennifer lopez bit (2 songs) have already been pre-taped. apparentely, her grandmother passed away and she could not do the show live. further upthread, i had made a comment about tony and his partners. last year sara and this year jane. my comment was, that since he is the oldest male professional, he has been the best suited for both of the ladies. he is older, wiser and more mature. none of the other male pros would have known how to handle sara's (divorce accusations) and jane's (mother's death). tony has move life experiences to lean on. JMHO. lurky, i agree w/ you on samantha. i kept hearing her flub and the tasteless remark to marie as just unprofessional. there are some situations you just can't try to make a joke of. her job should be to know the difference. even the way she holds her chin down when she speaks seems to me as she is trying to make her voice deeper.

I think if anyone is doing a little too much "practicing" it's Cameron and Edyta. That chemistry is a little too good. Hot tamales! I am just now getting into this show for the first time so don't know a lot about it.

this is the first time I like Edyta--other seasons, I thought she cared less about teaching her partner and more about displaying her own skill. Of course, past seasons, she has been partnered either with older guys or shorter guys--.

I agree Necie...bring back Marie next year as a host. She has some funny lines and she can bring the perspective of being a former contestant just like Drew did.

Nyheat, Cameron has the advantage of being a soap opera star so he knows how to bring on the chemistry when the cameras roll!!

Kc GMTA! When I wrote my post (late and w/fuzzier than usual brain lol), the example that first came to my mind was Samantha being clueless that there is a show TONIGHT! How in the world would any host not know that? The stark contrast in how well Tom Bergeron replied to her botch showed to me how a pro handles live TV and how a hack does. So I went w/the next thing annoying me (the Marie innappropriate comment). But thanks so much for doing an awesome job perfectly recapping Samantha's typical misspeak! To be clear, I liked Drew but I'm not 100% saying he should take over. I just think how he handled it shows how someone ANYONE needs to replace her. That's why I commented how a dancers was a million times better than her, so imagine how a real host might do. I have no clue how she got this job, but know she shouldn't have it much more. Drew showed how much better the show flowed w/less errors and more humor. IMHO it clarified that either he or someone else should fill her wobbly shoes. Sporty might have a good idea, Marie might be a hoot. Just not sure if she he has time/interest in this gig, but would be fun. I've really enjoyed her, and of all folks was so upset at her unfortunate but thankfully seemingly not serious problem last nite. As for so many of the other comments, I think we are close to that time of year when almost all of the really bad dancers are weeded out (it's why I couldn't vote for Mark anymore--love his enthusiasm but at this point just not fair to keep voting for him IMHO). So it boils down to personal choice, who we like and enjoy etc. Last, I'm tired of reading rumors that Cheetha girl (Sabrine right?) had past ballroom training. Can't someone find out if this is real or rumor so I will know if I want her gone or not? lol Whoops one more thing. I feel many had an off night last night. I saw more mis-steps that I was sure of than usual. Could be many reasons, but sure no AC didn't help. Coudln't they bring in those huge temp ones, like they use at football games, and point one at the dancers??

No AC last night? That is news to me. I am sure some of the stars were a bit worried about these wildfires in California, and that can explain their missteps.

Lurknomore, the rumors you heard may have to do with some tango number Sabrina did in one of her movies. Some people on the internet are pointing at that as evidence that she's had experience in ballroom dance. I don't think that should really count, although I can't shake the feeling the girl is a ringer. Her posture and technique looked remarkably advanced even in the first episode. And then she made that comment last night about how every dancer dreams of working with Shirley Ballas. I don't know. Maybe she's just a really quick study, but something just feels funny about it. Didn't Jennifer Lopez already announce her pregnancy? Wasn't Samantha a replacement herself? I seem to remember a different co-host in the first season. They do need someone quick-witted for the job. Is it possible Drew just wasn't available to do a whole season? I enjoy him as a host, but I enjoyed him even more as a guest dancer. I remember someone (Joey Fatone perhaps?) saying in the past that they're able to request certain songs in advance, but if the show can't get the rights to it then they have to use what's assigned to them. I've always wondered why So You Think You Can Dance can get good, modern songs for their numbers but this show can't. It seems to me like they're trying to get a bit cute with their song choices, like the Superman music for Cameron. It worked out great for him, and in reality it did have the right tempo for a paso doble which just needs a good march. The Spice Girls song was a bit cheesy, though. You just knew they were going to do that. Finally got around to watching the YouTube videos Marie and the ladies made with their dolls. Hilarious! Especially Jenny holding her bandaged head in her hand.

I'm not watching with undivided attention tonight, but so far Mark/Sabrina, Mel/Maks, and Edyta/Cameron are safe.

They drag it out like this every week, Rvon. That's why I've stopped watching without doing other things at the same time.

I should know they do this too. Actually, that is why I come on the "spoiler" boards so I don't have to sit through the whole show. Just watch exactly what I want to watch on the Results Show.
