I agree Prisoner - Zack is that team's leader. Kelsey is stunning & IMO the best dancer on the show. Bruno's Laci can't dance & sing at the same time - did you all notice this.

Bruno's weak links are Phillip & Laci but he won't get rid of either one of these folks.

CA could loose Allise & Bradley & still be strong. I think if CAs kids keep on as they have, she will realize these 2 as her weakest links in case of a lose.

If I vote - I vote for CA ...... still not sure what to do.

ok - I went over to ABC.com & intended to give all 5 to CA. Got 1 in .... couldn't get back in to post the other 4.

Yes, I gave CAs team my 1 & only vote.

Bruno - ya better not get rid of Zack or Kelsey

I missed the last half hour. I watched a PBS show on grand central station. The singing and dancing was superb!! :-)

Bruno calling it "unfair".. maybe he needs to be just a bit less abrasive when "critiquing" the other team and stop shouting. I really do like Carrie Ann's team better, but add to that I like her so much better and he annoys me so much, and then I just don't feel the Kelsey love AT ALL (I don't call it rational but there it is)

Carrie Ann's team even looks more integrated.

One thing I like is that this doesn't drag on for a second night and elimination show, but that there is elimination and voting. Plus even the person going home gets that whole show/training/experience.

Oh and at least this week when the two guys had to sing to try to stay, the song wasn't in the wrong register.. of course I wonder what they do if the two in contention are male and female?

I really think people are holding their feelings for Carrie Ann and Bruno make decisions for them. I've watched, trying to keep an unbiased opinion. I have to admit I think that Bruno's team is better and has been performing better. Its easy to like Carrie Ann better than Bruno but that is not what this is about. Its about the best dance/singing and I really think Bruno's team is getting a raw deal becuz people prefer CA. What will they do when it is "Dance Wars: Carrie Ann"? Too bad we cant individually pick a dream team from all the contestants. Mix and Match!

Bruno has always been my favorite judge on DWTS, but I have to admit, I am liking Carrie Ann better here.

I am not enjoying this show nearly as much as DWTS.

I actually don't feel that I am 'getting' the concept here.

What is the point of this exercise, ultimately? Are they all hoping to be broadway stars? Pop stars? Do they want to be in a group after this is all done, or have individual careers?

I had thought that this was supposed to be about taking dancing and singing to a new level, but I am feeling a lack of satisfaction with both.

I just finished watching last night and my impressions:

1. Who thought Drew Lachey would be a good host? Cause, um, sorry, not so much. I think he's pretty horrible as a host.

2. Bruno might have better luck if he wasn't so abrasive. The "scolding" he gives America when told he lost and has to lose someone just smacks of rudeness to me.

3. I think Bruno put Zack in the bottom as strategy. If Zach could be in the bottom two, people will vote for Team Bruno to win so Zach stays. Um, sorry, if I voted, that wouldn't be a reason for me to vote for your team.

4. I honestly think Team Carrie Ann has a better all-around and cohesive team. And they work together well. Except for Elizabeth's (minor) screw ups, I think they outdanced and outsang Bruno's team again.

5. The only thing Team Bruno has is a cute man (Zach) and a good dancer (Kelsey). And even then, I don't get all the Zach and Kelsey love. I think she's a good dancer. That's all. And he's cute. That's all.

At this stage of the game, the voting is about the kids as much as the team lead. And Bruno needs to drop the abrasiveness if he wants to win anything. I'm liking him less and less, and while he was never one of my fav judges, he was always amusing on DWTS. He's no longer amusing.

I'm feeling so bad for B and his team... And is it ever going to be lopsided if it keeps going like this. He looked positively humiliated. If it keeps up, it will be a train wreck. I feel awful for those kids. The way they are doing this CONTEST makes no sense.

I'm not liking Bruno in this show. I also think his team sucks.

I want to see Carrie Ann lose next week just to see who she would send home. If it keeps being the same team (Bruno's) every week it will get old very fast.

I thought Bruno's team was better for the first two weeks, particularly week one, but tonight I think Carrie Ann's team had it. But Carrie Ann is so much more likeable and I think people are voting because of that as much as the dancing.

Tonight they said something like "the winning team gets a record contract". How big is the winning team going to be? This is just a weird concept and I wish they'd clarify it.

This is from the Dance Wars website:
"The champions will win a life changing prize - they'll go on tour as the opening act for a major performing artist and a chance to start a thrilling career as part of a brand new all-dancing, all-singing act."
but that doesn't really clarify much.

And I reread the initial press release which said it was a six week show - so if they are keeping to that there are just two episodes left. At most that would be two eliminations (from tonight and then from next week) so that gets at worst Bruno's team down to two and CA's at six and at best 4-4 each.

I think the handwriting was on the wall when they couldn't find any dancers in NYC. Are they kidding?

Also, the auditions didn't try to assess which dancers had some experience in team dancing. Probably all of these kids have great talent, but the dancers are forced to sing and the singers forced to dance. They all must be feeling pretty insecure and nervous.

In all the States, they really should have been able to put together two excellent TEAMS.

I had the flu and slept through most of the show (although I did wake up to see who got kicked off). I will have to be really desperate to watch the recording later this week.

I am disappointed with all the singers and dancers. They are not showcasing their talents with good songs, instead we get songs that really suck and are hard to sing for anyone. I just ff to the end to see who is kicked off, so really I have given up on this show and probably won't watch again.

There is too much talking and recapping and not enough performing on this show. People are voting for Carrie Ann and Bruno and not for the teams based on performances. This show is a train wreck and I will not be suprised to see it fast forwarded to a quick ending.

There are only two episodes left, MrsMel, so we won't have to suffer for long!

I think one thing Carrie Anne did better was matching the "look" of her team. Bruno's team was more diverse which is great if you are building a group with a lead singer or dancer but not so much for a team. This look may have been luck of the draw, but I think not.

Bruno's Team: I've always liked Kelsey and Zack and think they are getting stonger every week; Phillip is cute and he is growing on me; Lacey, not so much, though she does look better since she lost the bangs that were cutting her face in half.

Carrie Ann's Team: I really like all of them, especially Elizabeth, Mariel and Qis (when did he stop being "Marquis"?); Chris is growing, but I'm still not sure he's got what it takes; Bradley and Allysa are the weakest links.

I, too, really wish we could take the stongest people from each team and make up a "super team." Maybe that's what they'll do when it gets down to the wire?

I liked every performance tonight. Bruno stepped it up but, I still like CAs group better. I was so afraid for Chris when he landed bottem 2 cause he's been one of my fav's. CA got it right by sending home her weakest girl.

The only member of Bruno's team that really stands out to me is Zack. IMO, they could move him over to CAs team & be done with it. So what that would be 4 guys & only 2 girls but those are the best 6. I can't get into Kelsey or Phillip & the other Bruno girl is so out of her element that her great voice doesn't show. CA could stand to loose Bradley, but that ain't gonna happen. She likes him too much.
