I enjoy watching Steve because of his attitude and charm, but I cannot say the same for Penn or Adam. It bothers me so much when they try to do the comedic come-backs with everything the judges say. I just wish they would keep their mouths shut.

Me too, Rvon! I am glad Penn is gone. He acted boorish.

I admit it...Adam makes me laugh. I never want to like him, but I do!

Female process has started: Shannon Elizabeth safe, then Marlee, then Kristi.

Me too, Yesitsme. I can't help laughing at his antics. I thought he was very entertaining.

Monica Seles eliminated. I am very surprised that the two eliminated seemed like the two most logical ones to go. I think that 2 weeks before elimination concept helped.

I don't think Steve is the worse male dancer, and I don't think he had the lowest score.

Ahhh, I am sad to see my fave male dancer (Jonathon) gone so soon into the season. Without Max I was rooting for Jonathon... sigh. At least his wife's still in for another week. I'd have rather seen Marissa and Tony gone this week. I am glad Penn's gone. Next male out - Steve or Adam (prediction). Next female (I am guessing) would be Marissa unless she greatly improves. I have to say that seeing Priscilla crawling on the floor in what, I must assume, she thought was a seductive manner will give me nightmares! LOL

Does anybody else think it's unreasonable to eliminate the lowest scored female and male dancer? They should eliminate the lowest scored dancers, regardless of gender.

I agree. That's what I was telling DH before the show.

Longbeach, I think they're just echoing last season, where they did an all male night and a male elimination, then an all female night and a female elimaination. They mixed it up by doing the two weeks, but I think that's why one of each sex went. Probably fair because I always think it's much harder for women to get up to speed than men.

I don't remember them doing it like this last season, except for the part where they did an all male night and an all female night. The first elimination last year was that female model, but I don't think there was a male celebrity eliminated in that round. Then we ended up with the men getting eliminated four weeks in a row after that. There were only two male celebrities left in the last seven couples. I think they were just trying to keep it balanced this year, at least for the first round. Have they said if this was a one-time thing, or if they're going to eliminate two couples every week? I wouldn't mind if they did, since I've often thought it would be more fair if they were only competing against their own gender (given the difference in their roles). The only drawback is that the season would be much shorter. Can't argue with those results. Both Penn and Seles were enjoyable, but they both seemed to be the weakest dancers.

Monica and Penn were on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.. Penn broke a rather heavy glass table.. I think he meant to knock it over but not break it. He said the fall on the stairs was scripted, but not the breaking of the dance barre. Height came up of course, Penn being so tall and Monica says she is 5'11" in stocking feet. She said she felt that she not only lacked dance training but acting ability so she couldn't even sell it. Said her partner was great, came to Japan, where she's been working, to practice. But she did say that in comparison to tennis training and her current interest in fitness the dancing wasn't as strenuous and that she is the first (at least first woman) in the history of the show to gain weight! Jimmy started a new ceremony where he had Guillermo take Penn's and Monica's dancing shoes out to the loading dock where he threw them in a burning trashcan. Oh and Monica is writing a book on fitness, so that makes her participation more understandable to me.

It's essentially the same thing as having an all male night then elimination and an all female night and elimination; they just combined the eliminations into one night. I think Penn's height was a problem too. It was for Clyde Drexler also.

I think Kristi Yamaguchi shouldn't even be on the show. She is as close to a professional dancer as you can get. She has been competing in Skating for how many years? There is no way she hasnt taken dance lessons before as part of her skating training. She has had to do the equivalent of dancing on blades so she has a head start in terms of posture, grace, training. It is boring to me to watch competitors come out who already know what they are doing. no surprise. The most fun for me is watching how these untrained competitors learn and grow as the weeks progress. I was sorry to see Monica go. She improved a great deal over last week and I thought she would have been one of those people who would have gotten better and better each week. Glad to see Penn go, he was rude and in my view disrespectful of the judges. Monica took all her criticisms with grace.

how is Kristi different from a hip hop dancer or a Cheetah girl? there always seems to be one person who each year everyone says has too much experience to be on the show. Adam is getting on my last nerve. He always has to go for the joke and most of the times, he isn't very funny. Penn sort of surprised me in how serious he seemed to take this, and I thought he seemed very nice. He was on Poker AllStars <76>...almost hostile.

She isnt any different, I didnt think Cheetah girl should have been on it either. I always thought the premise of the show was to put people on who had no training and watch them developing over the weeks of the competition.

I am not necessarily disagreeing with you Maris, I am just tickled that we all seem to have this debate every season.

yep we do, also seems to be an issue every season. I always loved Kristi as an olympic competitor and always rooted for her. She has a great personality and always seemed so well grounded.

I think Mario is fantastic ... I'd be rooting for him more if he had a different partner. I can't stand the one he has now ...

Okay, I love Corolla. I laugh at every smart comment he makes. He tickles my funny bone. To me, he IS very funny. I don't mind Krisy Y being on the show. I am impressed by how much natural dance talent she has. As a skater she skates alone, but as a dancer you have to dance with someone and follow their lead. I think the right people went home last night. I was suprised at how poor of a dancer Monica was. As an athlete I would have thought she'd have more grace and dance ability but I guess that just isn't true. And while I do find myself entertained by Penn, he was the weakest dancer.

I actually don't mind if they have had drance training before <76> Ballroom dancing is an art on it's own and just because they have had training before doesn't mean it was ballroom. <76>
