I'm totally over Shannon and Derek, and won't be giving them another vote. If she's going to cry like a baby every time she gets constructive criticism, she chose the wrong show to compete in. I'm glad they apologized, but Derek was extremely unprofessional to insult the other contestants just because his girlfriend can't take the heat. You can get passionate without taking out your anger on innocent bystanders. Maybe his infatuation is clouding his vision when they're rehearsing, because Shannon's dancing was much better in the beginning than it has been in the past couple of rounds. I'm so surprised that Mario was in the bottom two. I thought it might be Marissa, Shannon or even Jason. Or maybe Kristi getting the Sabrina treatment. I never expected Mario.

I think the reason mario was in the bottom two was because of his partner. She has rubbed me wrong every season she has danced. She seems like quite the sour puss.

ITA cant stand her and he isnt that hot to me, I think they will go next. I'd much rather watch Christian dance but if a guy wins this year I will literally go to ABC studios and tell them they need seperate contests. girls/guys.

I didn't think Shannon's reaction was any different than when Marissa cried and was so hurt by Carrie Ann's comments. I think they give it their all and do take the comments personally. I was surprised at Derreck, but again, Max kind of went off like that last year against the judges.

Rooting for Shannon, Christian, & Marrissa... they are the most allround entertaining to me. Of course at this point IMHO, Marrissa has no real shot at this, but she's such a sweetie.

ITA online voting isnt easy at all - I thought it was my old laptop - I gave up... I do find that its easier to vote while the couples are dancing! (I throw votes to Marissa because I dont think the judges want a fat girl out there - I do think she is winning them over tho! but those lifts in the group dance - brutal !) I will miss Marlee, but I still dont get how they picked the dances - if she had the dance Shannon had???? (even doing it w/o the hips - she may still be there???) and lastly - you do know about the latest "punked" show - where the celebrites get back and punk the media/poparazzi? That was my thoughts about "the kiss" totally staged... why is it a big deal? THE MEDIA - (I'll think of that show... )

I've had no problem voting online. I log-on about 3/4 into the show and vote from every address on my puter! (5) I hate it when Shannon goes into crybaby mode, but I've never cared for her anyway, and split my votes between Christian and Kristi.

So Marlee was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Good interview. Asked her what annoying things have happened to her as a deaf person. She said she was looking at a dinner menu on a flight. Flight attendant had seen that she was signing. So attendant grabbed the menu out of Marlee's hands and came back with a big smile on her face and handed Marlee a menu in braille?! Marlee said that has happened three times!!! Jimmy asked Marlee to sign a "no-no word" so the network wouldn't know what to do. They did blur it (her hands). Then she did something else with her hands that looked suspicious to me??? Kimmel asked Marlee's interpretor to sign "Yamaguchi". His fingers flew!!

I'm so happy that Marissa is still around!!! She was beat up by the judges early on and while she looked hurt during their reviews, she turned that hurt into some hard work and every week she gets better and better. Tony also put more difficult stuff in their routines based on what the judges said. They listened to the judges. Shannon peaked early and hasn't shown improvement each week. In fact she seems to have gotten more stiff again. She needs to loosen up and just go for it like Marissa did.

The problem I had with what Derek said...compared to some of Max's rants and even some of the problems Tony has had with Carrie Ann...is that his comments were really disrespectful to the other contestants. He wasn't just addressing the judges comments directly. He did it by belitting the other dancers, pointing out mistakes they were making that the judges weren't deducting for, and that really turned me off. They sounded like petulant little children, really.

Carmenv, ITA. If I was a fellow competitor, I would be a little offended/hurt by Derek's comments. I hope he apologized to all of them also.

I didn't take it as mean spirited against his fellow professional dancers, but more of a young boy (and he is young) frustrated because his girlfriend was upset and he was trying to stick up for her. It was more of a 'yeah...what about them??? thing.

Whether it was intended to be mean spirited or not, it was still hurtful and unprofessional. Yes, he is young, but still old enough to know better, IMO. Plus, he has been brought up in a very professional - albeit dramatic! - environment, so he should have a certain level of professionalism even for his age. I thought it was inappropriate, although I was happy he apologized for it later. But like Beachcomber, I hope he included his fellow contestants in that apology.

During the recap of the performances, they showed the backroom comments from the dancers right after their dance. Shannon was really upset and in tears and Derek went off on the fact that other couples are hitting "horrific, demented lines", doing heelies, and getting 9's and 10's. The audience gasped in reaction to the film clip.

Okay, experts, who do you think will be eliminated this week? (I'm helping someone pick for a pool and they have to guess today, before they dance!)

Brenda, I think regardless of performance, Derek and Shannon will be voted out this week. Voters may still be put off about Derek's outburst last week.
