Oh. I thought those were paw prints of a puppy. Looked like the Georgia GymDogs logo. I even thought perhaps it had something to do with the writers' strike (not knowing whether they had a logo like a paw print or something) and supporting the union thing. Sabrina never crossed my mind.

This show is trying to prove that you can take any piece of music and do any dance to it. I feel like a broken record, but tonight was probably the worst for music selection. Totally inappropriate!

Next subject: I thought Jennie Garth was supposed to be an actress. So why does she continue to whine about how awkward it is for her to dance with a young man? Act, Jennie, act!

Penpoint...EXACTLY! I forget if I posted or thought the same thing about Jennie awhile back. But to me what really bothers me is she has made nasty comment after nasty comment on sooo many shows about how she can't think of him as sexy, how he's no George Clooney, look at him, etc etc. So she made it as much, if not more, about his looks NOT his age. Each time she's done it, I've felt SO badly for him.

I really wasn't kidding when I said that, coupled with her mean faces and hyseria when she had that minor fall at the end early on totally turned me off to her. I began this show a fan, and really pulling for her. She was someone I always kidna liked. This has remained JMH0. But it doesn't say much to me about either her character or her acting ability!!!

BTW I KNOW I said earlier that I strongly feel the couples should be able to choose their music, and I still think so. But I still say there must be more than we know. We're told they are given songs after the Live show, but 2 weeks ago Jane says she wanted to stay to dance to Johnny Cash. HUH? And Marie has that perfect costuume to match the music tonight. Can't see a lot of them choosing what they got, but I'm convinced there is more to it than just them getting the songs Mon nite now!

BTW Snoops...lol that's what makes the board go round hehe. Though we more or less agree in the short term. We just differ on the big picture.

I thought the music selections for tonight's episode pretty much sucked too. A couple of them were okay and appropriate.

I don't like them complaining how busy they are. After all, no one forced them to be on the show. Or did they plan on being gone after one week?

what pains me even more is remembering how he said in the beginning that he had a crush on her

Well, I must be getting used to the inappropriate music, because I've reached a place where I don't pay much attention to the music anymore. Maybe I've given up. What was hard to miss were the cameramen. Good grief! At one point it looked like Derek smacked his hand on a camera.

Speaking of Derek, I cracked up at the way he exited after the second dance. I had to rewind and watch it in slow motion to see if I was imagining things. Such a ham!

I don't see how Jennie's comments about Derek are in any way nasty. They appear to have a sincerely affectionate relationship, but not every woman is comfortable having to play the cougar and Jennie obviously isn't. It's not a reflection on him, and her discomfort doesn't seem to offend him in the least. It's not about him being unappealing. It's about him being so darned young.

Their dances were both beautiful, and I'm glad Len said what he did about Jennie not believing in herself. That fear is what shows on her face and costs her a few votes because people mistake it for being snooty or sour-pussed. She needs to stop doubting herself and step into the part of the dancer.

Marie was pretty good in her quickstep (although I felt the 10 was a bit extreme), but I agree with the judges that her second number didn't have enough content. Jonathan needs to give her better choreography.

I also agreed with Carrie that Jane needs to get the audience excited, and with Len about the lack of body contact. You could've fit a third person between her and Tony during that quickstep.

I keep hoping Cameron will do great, but he botched that quickstep pretty badly. His jive was good, though. They need to ease up on all the jumping.

Helio was a lot better this week, even though Len was right about the heel leads. He really got his hips moving, and he wasn't outdanced by Julianne this time.

For some reason Mel and Maks are both starting to bother me. To me Maks has always come across as rude, but now they're both coming off bad. Whoever decided to include that footage of their rehearsal must want them gone. In spite of myself, I had to throw them one of my votes for that paso doble. Not only was I impressed that they could do a paso to that song, but I was doubly impressed to see a paso where the female was leading, and triply impressed that the female who lead was the amateur celebrity. Normally I'd think it was bad for the female to lead, but when I saw Maks dancing backward I had to believe it was intentional.

Here's hoping this is the end of the Sabrina Memorial Service. They behaved as if something had been done to the girl, like they took her out and executed her or put her in dancer's prison. She just didn't get the votes, and if she had one of them would've been gone instead. It makes it seem like they don't appreciate their fans voting for them.

I am loving Tom Bergeron more and more. He was really busting Samantha's chops tonight. Much needed, as her reprimands for not voting for Sabrina were getting annoying. Bad enough that they keep perpetuating this notion that Sabrina's fans just forgot to vote for her, but to make it an excuse to nag us was totally unnecessary.

I'm so over Jennie Garth "ewwwing" about Derek. It must make him feel terrible and it sure is making us feel disgusted. I take it she has done very little acting since it seems to be such a chore for her. I'd hate to see Derek go but I wouldn't mind seeing her go next.

Excellent point, Curlyq, about the Sabrina tribute. It was bothering me too. They were all mourning her departure, but who do they think should have gone instead of her? Obviously it would have been one of them.

I agree about the moping over Sabrina - it's not up to the show or the other dancers who goes, it's up to us! Can't they get it into their heads that we wanted her to go? They can love her all they want, and I'm sure she is personally wonderful, but this is up to the judges and the fans.

I've never been a Mel/Maks fan, but that paso last night was SMOKING! I had to run it back and rewatch it and I've not done that yet this season. That woman was FIERCE in both the dance and in the costume. Pretty good recovery for a woman who not that long ago had a baby and at the start of the season was still showing a bit of baby weight.

I've never taken Jennie's remarks about Derek to be derogatory. He's just a lot younger than she is and I think she has difficulty in putting herself into the "mood" in certain dances with him. Having said that, I thought their second dance was beautiful.

I love Jane but I think she deserves to go. Her dances all are starting to look the same. She looks brittle to me. I don't know why that is my term but it is...like she's still and could easily break. And I hated the fake hair (on both her and Jennie...the hair people went crazy last night with extension).

But Marie looked adorable in the 40's hair. And I thought she was amazing in that dance.

Loved Helio and Julianne's costumes in their first dance...that black outfit on Julianne with the pink underlining was striking. Hated her second outfit. Can't remember either one of their dances.

I have a soft spot for Cameron so I don't try to judge him. I like big strong men. What can I say?

Did I miss anyone?

If a group of friends want to put a symbol on their body and show another friend they love her, more power to them. You can still show support even in a competition.

Lady, you were right... that paso of Mel was SMOKIN'!!! Hot hot hot! And I loved Cameron's jive (for once, a "star" really did do the right kicks!).

But all the rest? Eh.

I am seriously over:

1. Cameron and his constant whining about not having enough time. Dude, you signed up for this. Get over it.

2. Jennie and her constant whining about having to be sexy with Derek. I agree, you're an actress. ACT THE PART! Besides, I don't think she can dance that well. At this point, she shouldn't be looking so awkward.

3. Jane and her "elegance." Sorry, elegance does not a latin dancer make. I think she continues to look stiff and awkward (although she did look great in the gold dress).

4. Marie and her "personality." Again, she can't really dance. Her choreography is cleared geared to what she can do, which isn't much. Didn't she do a cha cha? That was the slowest dance I've ever seen.

For the others:

5. Helio. I do want to see him in the finals, now along with Mel B. I think he really looked like he was having a ball with that samba.

6. Finally, Mel B. I wasn't so sure about her in the early days, but I think she really did rock that paso roble last night. She looked like a professional dancer. But again, quit with the whining.

I totally loved all the Sabrina tributes (the shirts, the paw prints).

Totally hate the stars whining about having to learn two dances. Um, weren't the length of the dances cut by at least one full minute? So instead of learning three minutes of dance steps, you're learning four. And Jennie and Marie actually dance only half that time if you account for the constant stop and pose intermissions.

To be perfectly honest with you, if Jennie, Jane, and Marie are not in the bottom 2 this week, I'll pretty much give up. I know it's totally a popularity contest, but at this point the stars should actually LOOK like real dancers. I don't see those three women looking like real dancers in ALL dance styles at all.

So, for final three, I'd like to see Helio, Cameron, and Mel B battle it out, with H and M making it to the final 2.

Costa stated my thoughts exactly too.

Helio is my fav. at this point. He is the only one that doesn't complain about something. (Marie doesn't complain really either but, she isn't up to the same skill level as Mel, Cam, & Helio).

Wasn't Jennie's eeewwwwing over Derek because the guy looks 12?! I can understand it feeling pretty icky acting sexy with someone who seems like a teenager.

(but I haven't seen the show yet, so what do I know?! :-))

I love Jennie Garth on this show and am rooting for her to go all the way. I've watched closely when she talks about her partner and I've just seen/heard praise for him. Last night they told the interviewer they were able to get closer to sensuality in their dances with a little teaching of acting and a little teaching of dancing for both of them. To me, Jennie is ethereal....she floats across the floor and is a joy to watch. The judge who told her she is the only one who doesn't think she's a great dancer was right.

I couldn't stand Mel's outfit. I couldn't watch the dance because it looked like she had a robe on that kept flying open and was extremely distracting from her dance moves. While I thought her second dance was better than the first, I didn't think it deserved 10's.

I still feel Jane moves too slow for the type of music playing. She has nice lines, but I'd like to see her move faster to fast music.

As a 30-something mom of two, I can tell you that whenever I dance with a youngster (meaning mid-late teens and not my own kid) I have a hard time not feeling totally goofy. It just feels WRONG. Granted, I am not an actress, but I get where Jennie is coming from.

Sad about Marie's mom.

But... Jennie is an actress. She is PAID to "pretend" to be something she's not. She can't muster up the oomph to "pretend" that she's in love with Derek? She can't "pretend" that he's 30-something? Dance is all about illusion, and I'm sorry, but she just doesn't cut it for me.

I'm really disappointed with most of the women this year. Three of the four remaining just seem subpar to me.

Personally, I think DWTS wants a female win for a change and is stacking the odds for that. But if Jennie, Marie, or Jane end up in F2, I'll quit watching this show.
