One more thing...I like the addition of Fabian to the show. He's doing an awesome job with Marlee!

I think the put some thought into the pairings. For example, the year after Cheryl won twice, they paired her with someone who wasn't gonna win at all. And ditto with Julianne this year; odds are high she won't win. As for those who don't make it into the top whatever number, I dunno.

Personally I don't vote based on the professional, I vote based on the amateur. I EXPECT the pros to dance well. Yes, I like some better than the others but I think it is incorrect for this competition to vote based on the professional's likeability...but that's just my 2 cents worth!

Having said that, I think the most underrated and outstanding dancer at this point is Shannon Elizabeth. Her dance last night was beautiful and if I were her I would wear that silver gown all the time...she looked like she was floating.

I continue to be underwhelmed by Marlee. I think she is doing amazingly well...for a hearing-impaired person (I felt the same way about Heather Mills last season). If she was hearing I would rate her middle of the pack. Again, just my opinion. Monica and the bubbly girl (Marissa?) were the poorest performers, and I kind of rate Priscilla like I do Marlee -- she's doing really well considering her age (actually she's doing better than I expected regardless of her age)...and Kristi in a class all by herself. I love to see her dance.

Jason and Mario did the best of the men, then Christian, then Adam, Steve and Penn, in that order.

Again, that's just my opinion.

I agree with you Roxi, I vote on the star not the professional as well.

Like others above, I would REALLY REALLY like to know how they pair pro with celebrity. Part of me thinks they just draw names from a hat, which would be the fairest. But if so, wouldn't they tell us?

I love Shannon Elizabeth as well, even though I have no idea who she is. Thought she should have been rated higher than Jason.

I think it is interesting, and perhaps intentional, that the two least favorite (judging from comments here) female pros are paired with the two best men...Edyta and Karina. Anybody else notice that?

Just read all the comments and wanted to add another one LOL Did anyone else feel that Penn was rather rude about the whole dancing experience. DH and I watched and both found his remarks at the end to be disrespectful to all the professional dancers who participate (and all the 'celebs' who try bloody hard to learn). Not sure if he was trying to be funny but it fell flat at our house. Thoughts?

I didn't vote, unfortunately I tend to watch the show later on and voting on the website isn't friendly. I managed to not start recording at the beginning so missed Monica (but the recap looked painful :-(.. since I'm such a huge Seles fan, I think I'll be relieved for me and for her if she goes home. LOVE Kristi!! And I do think she had to push herself to overcome some inhibition.. lol.. the quick flash of her parents made me think they were a bit taken aback at her spicey performance. Good for her!

I don't remember that particular Penn statement but I find him to be basically rude in general.

Marlee, I just don't warm up to, so I think my opinion of her dancing would be skewed downward. Marissa, same thing. I can see where she'd be a fun person to many, but she just annoys me, so I can't fairly judge her, but it seems that the judges still aren't all that impressed by her actual dancing.

I was finally able to get on both the website and phone to vote last night. It took quite a while though, so I figure that a lot of people were trying to vote. I gave my votes to Shannon/Derek. I thought that they did very well last night, and I always seem to enjoy Derek's choreography.

I do have a feeling that Monica might be leaving tonight for the women. She seems like she is trying very hard and ia a nice person. I felt bad for her when she's faced the judges. It's hard to say who will leave for the men. I figure either Penn, Adam or Steve. That Adam still has a radio show, doesn't he? Maybe he'll be saved by that fan base. Steve's been so positive on the show, but don't know if he has a big fan base.

Kristi is going to be hard to beat this year. She is doing the best by far overall. I'm sure that the show would really like to see a woman win the competition since men have won it a number of years in a row now. I think she has the talent and fan base to be the most serious contender to beat right now. I was wondering why her partner, Mark, looked so somber last night after they danced. Made me wonder if he was in pain or something. I know that he was injured last year. Maybe it was just me, but something didn't seem right with him to me.

I really enjoyed Kristi, Jason, and Mario last night. Mark Ballas is an amazing dancer and choreographer!

Julianne looked a little stunned/mad that Adam threw her under the bus with his comments about how she doesn't have time to practice because of her singing career.

Isn't it on now back east? I thought Bergeron said someone would go right away?

I thought also that they advertised that the eliminations would happen immediately, but NO, they are following the typical "drag it out" mentality.

Steve and Anna were first to be "saved". Also Jason and Mario and their partners.

Isn't Steve the worst male dancer and didn't he have the lowest scores?
