OK, was Kenny Mayne wearing eye shadow? Like silvery blue eye shadow? It was very weird

I thought the reason they didn't do a bottom 2 was because Marie was in the bottom 2, and out of respect for her. I also noticed this week... there always comes a time when the judges start scoring the contestants really closely. So the difference between first and last place is only a few points. It seems like they did that this week. Maybe in retaliation for Sabrina? I dunno, but there were only 4 points between the top (Mel B) and bottom (Jane). Which means, at this point, they are forcing the popularity contest concept. Bleah. I'm glad Jane went. I'm sure she's a nice person, but no way is she a winner of this thing. (BTW, the other thing that bothered me about her was her constant mentioning of her physical ailments. Ya knew what you were gonna be up against, quit making excuses!) And yes, Ginger, he was wearing makeup. I think he was making a joke about it (you know, how the men wear makeup on the show?). His face makeup was also quite obvious. I thought it was hysterical! (I also cracked up when he mentioned Jennie's mouth, which has always bothered me but I never said anything cause I thought it would be mean!) Still hoping F2 is Helio and Mel, with Cameron in F3. I disagree that Marie and Jennie are "really good". I don't think either of them are winning material.

Two words: DANCE CENTER! I love this segment, and wish they would do it more often. Kenny Mayne is hilarious, especially in full makeup, blue hair and sparkly shirt. Does not break character, and rarely smiles. He's a keeper, and I also enjoy his banter with Len!

I too loved that segment, they did nail some of the failings in the dancers but made too much of Helio's grin... but the guy can't help it, and as long as it is that charming... one of them didn't realize Sabrina was gone already... Cameron was saved and didn't even do the eliminations and they had no choice but to get Jane out, the score was just too low and me the skeptical believes that even with her fans voting for her to stay in the end it's the producers who decide matters... (my paranoia from Big Brother, eh, eh...). Imagine if the fans saved Jane again, it would have been too evident that the elimination system is not working, especially after what happened to Sabrina who I think deserved to stay. The producers will never tell you how the audience voted... They will always have the final say... and this say is that Mel could win...

I wondering if the Dance Center spot was written before the writer's strike, or did these guys just wing it?

I don't know why, and maybe it's just me, but this interviewer from Access Hollywood was sort of making me feel uncomfortable with some of her questions to the other dancers about Marie. http://video.accesshollywood.com/player/?id=180185

she reminds me of someone at a funeral who has never experienced a death personally and has no clue what to say but feels the need to say something.

I will give you Leeann stealing "How do I live" from Tricia Yearwood but you have to give me Whitney Houston stealing "I Will Always Love You" from Dolly Parton. I always liked Dolly's rendition of it better. I'm sure the writers of the songs don't care as long as they get royalties.

LOVED Dance Center! Hated Leanne Rimes (still don't like her "rendition" of Trisha's song). Missed Jimmy Kimmel (his segments are usually hysterical, too).

Kenny Maines is hysterical. I don't miss Jimmy Kimmel at all. There is no chemistry between Jennie Garth and her patner, Derrick. He should have been paired with Sabrina. That would have been a better match.

Not trying to be offensive to Sabrina, but I think she would have dwarfed him. Her partner's taller frame suited her body style better. I think physically Jennie and Derek are a much better match. Did anybody see that 20/20 or somebody like that is going to have a special on the Houghs on Friday? Did I see that right?

Re: Dance Center and writers strike -- I'm sure Kenny, Len, and Jerry wrote their own stuff. Probably was an improv thing earlier in the day and they refined it for the show. Dance Center is my favorite part of the results shows. I wish it was on more often. :-)

I agree Costacat -- I cringe everytime I hear them talk about that song as if it's hers when I think it really is Trisha's. I also can't stand the way she sings, like she has a mouthful of marbles. Trisha's version blows hers out of the water. I crack up at Dance Center (but I also liked the Jimmy kimmel bits too).

BTW, was I the only one thinking that when Jenny saw the feature on her mouth roll her response was (amongst other things) the mother of all mouth rolls?!?! I wish they made Dance Center a more regular segment...perhaps not every week as that would be too much, but say every 3 or 4, maybe alternate judges and past celebs. Just awesome. Andd ITA MUCH better than Kimmel--his bits never made me laugh. As for the lines, it's SO soon into the strike that it's hard to say if they had any help or not. But I think it's scary how most folks now depend on writers in the biz and the one good thing to come out of the strike is at least we may see more of their own words coming out of folks being paid the big bux. How sad all the late nite shows shut down. Can't Letterman and Leno manage to say a few amusing lines and talk to guests on their own? Glad to see The View can hold their own. I do feel what the writers are asking for is reasonable though but I digress. BTW agree bout the Trisha/Leanne song. Reminds me of "I will always love you." Some great versions but it was Dolly's etc. So many like that. Least she showed up and sang! What a season. As for 20/20, wish they would move to Sat when nothing is on. Having a hard time dealing with my beloved Las Vegas and Numbers in that slot. Too much at once. At least I wisht hey would put it online! So nope missed it and likely will miss it lol. Last thought, for now, is that I totally blame the complete lack of chemistry with Jennie and Derek (still not sure how either sp their name lol) on her. She is the actress, she is the one who has taken EVERY opportunity to put him down in front of 23 mil viewers as having NO sex appeal and calling it gross. Would be bad enough if she was a singer, but she's an alleged actress for crying out loud. Can't she act for 1 min 20 sec each week? I feel SO bad for him. If she can't fake/act it, then can't she think of him as a brother/pal and show that closeness not just endlessly put him down and laugh at him while making rude remarks? It is why I went from a supporter to wanting her off. (Her sour puss looks & hysteria over the fall contributed too). I'm sure not all DWTS pairings love each other, but so far all others have found a way to make it work for the show. The entire thing makes me want to do one of her mouth rolls!!!! lolol

Thanks, Roxip, for reminding me about Friday's 20/20. Yes, now I remember seeing that promo. The stars come for a while and then go. I feel like we're getting to know the pros more and more. Looking forward to this segment about them on Friday.

OMG I can't believe it. Did you guys hear that Sabrina really is engaged to her dancing partner??!! (I thought it was a joke when I read it before truthfully lol). YIKES shouldn't they like date a day or two now that she is off the show?! Geez that was fast. Seems like only yesterday they said they were dating, that it wasn't a rumor. Oh wait, it WAS just about yesterday hehehehe.

Just a note regarding Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston. Dolly Parton wrote that song many years ago and used to sing it when she had her own network tv show. Whitney brought it back and made it popular again. Dolly, happily, got oodles of royalties for being the writer and I heard her thank Whitney profusely for singing it. There is no bad blood between Dolly and Whitney. The Trisha/Leann song is different. Team Trisha here. There is a Tmz Video of Sabrina saying Aug of 08 will be their wedding.

Dolly wrote the song for Porter Wagner as a farewell song (on her last appearance) to the man who gave her a big start in the industry on his show. Lord knows, my Dad made us watch that every week when we were kids. Of course, that was in the day of 3 channels and "I" was the remote control!!

Lurk, at the time, I think there was a little bad blood between the Trisha/Leann camps. When Trisha did win the award I remember her saying something in her acceptance speech of the competition. (both versions of song How can I Live were nominated) Now, it seems that Faith Hill/Carrie Underwood may have a bit of a thing going on. Way off topic. So, The Osmond family will be filming the Oprah show to air on Friday. I'm looking forward to that.
