Lol thx Pamy. I enjoyed the group dance last night. Looked like so much fun. I tried to vote for Mario but I couldn't figure out how to just send a straight text on Lola.

I never vote!

And oddly enough, I'm thinking this season isn't getting the hoo-rah in past seasons. There are so few posts after show night. I seem to recall there was a lot more discussion in past seasons...?

I suspect as these shows age and go through multiple seasons, many people continue to watch and enjoy the show (partly out of inertia) but the sense of wonder and excitement is gone and so there is less discussion?

Plus there is so much reality TV right now I find it hard to keep up with everything.

Good point about the inertia, Jimmer. And yeah, there ARE so many reality shows on right now. I dunno, but I'm kinda bored with most of 'em. Don't know if it's the casting, the "age" of the show, or reality TV overload. Or all of the above!

I think it's cuz last year there was more 'excitement' cuz of the pro and con Marie factions. LOL

I've been thinking it's reality overload. DWTS is one of my BIG favorites. That and Survivor and Amazing Race. I skipped the current BB . . . maybe BB for good?

I've skipped BB and Survivor and I never thought I'd get to that point.

I'm missing this show because my family out voted me on what we are watching on Mondays.
Dang it! I really need to get that tivo or dvr or do some yard work!

I dabble in shows like this very occasionally, but even Project Runway lost me last season (I knew Christian would win.) Truth be told, I find reality shows very emotionally draining, so I try to stay away from them.

My first and only true love will always be Big Brother!

I didn't find the online voting very friendly.

My problem with discussing here, well of course I'm on the west coast, but with BB in the middle of winter certain nights are just jammed and I'm juggling two DVRs and carefully scheduling and then trying to watch those shows I want to see in almost real time (for voting, or to not be spoiled). But then it can be later when I actually have time to discuss. But I still like reading the comments.

I also tend to sometimes skip the result shows.

It's my fave show to watch during dinner. (Left up to dh, we'd be watching folks getting chopped-up on CSI! LOL)

Way too much on tonight, trying to read up on AI, watch BB, PA election returns, and this.
Hubby took over the tv with the DVR to watch Hell's Kitchen, so not recording DWTS.
So far during flips have seen that Derek/Shannon are safe, Marlee/Fabian are in bottom 2.

Thanks Snoops! I'd love to hear who got kicked out, since odds are I won't bother to watch tonight.

Much as I like Jason and Mario, I'm not a fan of their pro partners. I'd like to see Mario/Karino go. Or rather, be in the bottom 2 with Marlee/Fabian. (I love watching Karina look like she's sucked on a lemon when she gets hit with the red light!)

I agree, Costa, though I find Edyta more likeable this year. She looked sad after the last safe announcement, Karina looked like she was sucking a lemon!
Pretty sure it must be Marlee going though.

Going home is....Marlee/Fabian.
It was time, no way Marlee could handle 2 dances next week.

Dang, I'm psychic! :-)

You're right Snoops... it was definitely time for her to go home. I think she accomplished what she set out to achieve but 'nuff's enough.
