Totally agree. I finally watched the results show last night, and as soon as I saw that eyeroll, I remembered why I so dislike her. If she doesn't start showing better sportsmanship, she really is never gonna end up a winner on this show. While I know a lot don't vote for the pros, a lot do take the pro into consideration. If all else is even, I'll vote for the couple with the pro I like, rather than the one who irritates the heck outta me.

I don't understand why voters would punish Mario for being paired with Karina ... if anything, I would think he would get sympathy votes :-) I guess if ppl wanted Karina off their screens that badly ...

I would have loved to have seen him paired with Julianne

btw, just learned (after what Mocha shared about Mario's mother) that he has a foundation to help kids with drug addicted parents achieve their dreams

http://www.mariodoright.org/videos/

I plan to donate

I keep hoping they'll replace here with a more personable (translation: NICER) pro-dancer who'd be grateful for the gig!!!

Karina is not hired for her personality ... she's a dancer and a very, very good one! I just think it's a shame that she comes off as sour because I love watching her perform!

Wow, Sharinia, thanks so much for the info about Mario's foundation!

Re Karina: "comes off as sour"...true, the eye-rolling could be just a nervous habit, but I wish someone would clue her in, because it is so off-putting and I think does effect the vote. The other pros looked really tense and nervous Tuesday night (more so than the celebs, I thought!), but the eye-rolling etc projects arrogance and disdain. If someone would just suggest she close her eyes and look down, it would be so much better. She is an excellent dancer, but it's hard to ignore the whole package.

Vnicky I figure that there are tons of equally talented pros out there who could 'bring it' and still not have a snotty attitude that ends up hurting the Star they are there to 'help'. IMHO, anyways. :-)

Karina's personality takes away from her dancing to me.

I agree Mocha. I have a hard time looking past her personality to enjoy her dancing. If Mario was paired with Julianne, I think they would have won the whole thing!

I almost feel like the show and fame have gone to her head. Five seasons ago, NO ONE knew who she was. Now, she has paparazzi following her around. She should be grateful people know who she is.

While Karina may excel as a professional dancer, she's not always the best teacher. Part of being a teacher is also being a mentor, and if I were one of the celebs and saw her eyerolling on the show, I'd certainly ask her to stop it. Her personality DEFINITELY detracts from her dancing, to me.

Edyta also rubs me wrong often. I still think she does more to promote herself than her celeb. I think that is one of the reasons both Julianne and Cheryl were two-time winners. Cheryl is a great teacher and really works with the abilities of her star. And neither of the the two of them do things that are (obvious) show off stunts that draw attention from their stars. Some of Edyta's moves, and almost all of her costumes, seem to just scream LOOK AT ME!!! And, sorry, but it's really supposed to be about the STAR, too, isn't it?

At any rate, I hope this is the last season Karina is on. Every season, I hope that she decides to take her toys and leave the sandbox, since she's never a winner. <evil grin>

Wow - this show must be loosing fans. I am watching & it's really not holding my attention much either.

each of the 4 are dancing 3 numbers tonight (I think) and they are numbers that they've already done in prev. shows. I guess it's to show how much they've improved or something.

even though I think Kristi & Mark are the best this season, I'm going to put my 5 votes on Jason & Edyta.

I think Cheryl & her partner are safe as well as Kristi & Mark & I just think Jason is better at this than Marissa & I want him (Jason) in the finals.

I gave all of my phone and online votes to Cheryl and Cristian this week. I'd really like to see them in the finals.

Texasdeb, it's TWO numbers for each celeb and partner tonight.
I LOVED Kristi's tango...so much improved...thought it was best of the night.

I missed the call in time but put in the online votes for Kristi because I think she's best and I do NOT assume she is safe.

Just saw Maks on Good Morning America. He was giving his opinion on the four remaining couples. Then he said he will be back next season. He admits he missed it. He said he was not in LA during the season. He said he realized when he came back and danced with Mel that he had missed the people and the show. So Maks will be there next season.

Jonathan Roberts on Week 9 Dancing

As always Jonathan makes some great points.

Maks was surprised Marissa is still there. Thinks Kristi is the most talented of the ones left. But he thought Kristi got the best choice of dances for the semi-final. The jive was their dance and the audience always loves that. He said comparing the jive against the rumba is rather unfair. He thinks Christian got better when he got hurt because he started to use more of his body. I don't think he would have even mentioned Jayson if not reminded of him by the hosts. Maks said Jayson is weaker in the latin dances. Then Maks showed a few simple moves with some woman on the staff. He was wearing tight jeans and shirt.

All I have to say is that "Just the Two of Us" was a terrible song to have to rumba to. Marissa did her best but how the heck can you make that song sexy? I think that will be her down fall and I love her.

Lake_gal, wish I had watched GMA this morning. Happy to hear Maks will be back next season. Wonder who he will be paired with. Anyone heard when the next season starts?

I do not like Maks. I don't like a lot of his actions and the way he reacts to people. I think his actions are snarky. He is like a male version of the one that was dancing with Mario

It does take a strong personality to "tame" Maks -- like Laila and Mel B. That's why I say will be interesting to see who he is paired with next.
