Which translates into "I've got a life and don't need the publicity...although I don't mind hanging onto little sis's coattails and getting lots of publicity while SHE's on the show..."...LOL!

LOL Roxi, well I for one am hoping he does do it! He's gotten a bit pudgy and I'd like to see him lean and mean... okay, I can't imagine Donny EVER mean, but lean, yeah!

The only way the voting would be completely fair, is to put bags over the dancers heads. Since nobody would watch a show about bag-headed dancers, we see their faces. Faces and personalities play a huge part in who wins these shows, and rightly so, since it's not called Dancing with the Bag-headed Stars (because nobody really only watches the bodies dancing).

LOL - It's like I keep saying Hukd. If it was all about the singing, then American Idol would be a radio show.

If any West Coast folks want spoilers, you might want to check out this site and see for yourself http://raphaelpungin.com/webcam/ BTW, IMHO awesome dancing so far...Marie was GREAT! Totally upped her game IMHO, looked far more polished and I loved it. Dress, while very pretty kept getting in the way IMHO. Nice to see all the brothers there (or at least most need another pan of them lol). Mel, though not my fav, was totally awesome if I am being honest. Oh my Jenny up....off to watch. Geez she is whining again...I really am kinda done with her. She is even saying she wants to go lololol. No comment. Oh got worse...she went to Disney to "enjoy a day with her kids" but ended up on stage with Mickey. Yeah just a typical outing...always happens when I go to Disney lolol. Ok enjoy anyone who needs the link!

OMG Missy how awful! Did you try calling, speaking to a supervisor and pitching a nice but firm fit??!!! I would call first thing tomorrow and if they say no ask how to reach corporate offices (I'm really good at stinks like this, forgive me if you are too and not need the coaching lol). But I would yelling over the Macy's thanksgiving parade alone--it's just so part of the day. Regardless, what a long time to be lft w/out cable. EEK. Like you said thank goodness it didn't take out your net. BTW, do you know most shows are free online now from the major networks? Typically you have to wait 24 hours, but if you get tired of reading you can catch most regular programming. Even Fox went up this year (they were a long holdout!). So least you can watch some stuff...and hope that link is good tomorrow too! Glad to help! What I came to post is I felt the judges really got it wrong. How could they score Marie lower than Jenny??!! I swear I don't see it. And whil Mel was perfection on her first dance, even I saw several errors/misteps on her 2nd dance, yet she got perfect scores for that? Esp if there was a lift too. I wonder if they are trying to even things out more so (since they know how the viewer voting has gone, and we have NO clue). Beyond that I have no clue of their rationale, but I know I think they got it wrong!

Pamy ITA, BUT what I don't get is why did favor Jenny so much more than Marie. I honestly felt that Marie has either danced as well or better than she did most of the season, and definatly was better tonight. Plus, to me, Marie is such great FUN, whereas Jenny just is dancing nicely. I honestly don't get it. I do feel that Helio and Mel have earned finale slots, so I can forgive funky voting there (I guess lol). But just don't get it w/Jenny.

Tonight all I can say is that no matter why you vote for a person, you better for sure vote because tonight as it is a tight race. Several things...Huk I hear what you are saying and I think that now that I am part of the board that you are probably right. But honestly, I think Marie has the most fun personality out there and I can't wait to see her perform but I truly do watch the dancing and though I love Marie there is no way I could give her the best dance vote. I hear what you are saying and about the bags and obviously for some that may be the case but me personally I really do watch the dancing. I think it is interesting the order they did things tonight, I watch Marie dance and I love the energy and how much she brings to it and I am thinking totally should get a 10 and then next I see Mel dance, who I not a huge fan of personality wise in general and then it hits you when you watch her dance "That is what a 10 dance looks like" I have no dance knowledge at all but you look side by side and it just hits you. You can see it in the posture the hands, just the overall package. I love Marie's dances she is a ton of fun to watch, but they don't show the talent as you see in Helio and Mel. There is almost no comparison to me side by side and I thought tonight was really in your face about that. I was smiling and cheering Marie on the whole way and then Mel would come out and it was like, Whoa, now that is a dance. The same with Jennie and Helio back to back, it is just no comparison. But, again I now and have always personally just voted on the dancing not whose personality I like. I think that the judges had it right tonight on dance talent. I think that Mel and Helio are best 2 dancers and deserve top 2 and I think Jennie beat out Marie and deserves 3rd, something that I would not have said going into the show. Either way I think this more than any other season is going to be about the passion vote and who loves who more, so I have a feeling that Marie will get to stay and based on dance from tonight I don't think that is fair. My bigger fear is now that I am seeing how much is based on fan base that Helio walks tomorrow night and he definitely is the top 2 dancer out there. Going to be an interesting tomorrow, the show tonight was great!

Marie's hips still don't swivel like the others even after Len's coaching.

Lurk I am with you on the judge's scoring last night. Course I thought they were really hard/unfair on Mark Cuban in the beginning also, I know he wasn't great but felt they were scoring him extra low for some reason. I totally disagreed with their scoring of Mel and Max's Pasa Doble and on Jenny's Cha Cha...those were not perfect dances in my opinion. DH and I always score along with the judges and usually were are right in there within 1 pt, but not on those two last night. While I have never voted, I'm with those who have totally enjoyed watching Marie this season....and talk about personality and you have to think Helio. Best dancers are definetly Helio and Max but best entertainer goes to Marie. So I am hoping they are the final three and they can dance it out to see who will take home that "beautiful mirrored ball" trophy. Oh yea, I too am sick of Jenny's pouting insecurities. Time to go home and spend more "real" time with the family.

I think that Helio's second dance was extremely overscored. They were scoring for Julianne's dancing and choreography. DH and I sat there commenting on how great she was doing and realized neither of us was watching Helio at all. This is why the men always win. Their partners are amazing. The male celebs do not have to carry the dance the way that the females do. We rewound and, honestly, Helio did not stand out at all (in the second dance, for sure). All the women celebs outdanced him on that round. He'll probably win this thing simply based on his partner's superb dancing skills and his smile.

Bo....you have until noon...go vote online!!!! http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/index and just click on vote. And they are good about not sending emails long as you remove all check marks. Do it!! Everyone! It's fun, free, and least we know we tried! I'm actually scared..there was a HUGE thread over at the idiotic ABC board with TONS of folks all saying to ONLY vote Jenny so that Marie would be booted. Those folks are so nasty it is off the chart. BLECH. I sure hope they are a drop in the ocean, but it's scary when I read that folks aren't voting (cough cough lolol). Scares me their plan will work. I really feel it's Jenny's time to go. She danced well but with no engaging charm or personality, and well, most of what Bo said lol (GMTA here hehe).

What Stacey said. Sorry, but if you look at the DANCES, Jennie and Marie are not even on the dance floor. Mel and Helio absolutely deserved their perfect scores. They had fast, intricate dances. Mel's posture during her paso roble was absolutely spot on. Even after Len's coaching, Marie's hips couldn't swivel and Jennie still overextended her arms. I stand by my earlier assessment... if the final 2 isn't Mel and Helio, I'm giving up on this. In MY OPINION, this should be about the dancing. So maybe Jennie and Marie are "most improved." It's not "Dancing with the most improved stars" so while they get credit for improving, they are still not anywhere near the level of Mel and Helio. I can see those two are very close to the level of professional dancers. Marie and Jennie are not. BTW, it's just as difficult for a man to lead as for a woman to be led. Yeah, the man is the frame and the woman is the picture, but next time, look at the footwork. Intricate steps by the man will equal the woman's.

The last dance with Jul;ianne and Helio didnt impress me much.It seemed she was dancing up a storm,dancing circles around him and Helio was just barely moving.He is a good dancer but lets face it Julianne is the best choreographer and best dancer of the professionals.
