GRRRR this is SOO frustrating...can't believe ABC here isn't showing it after the Pats game. Least we are kicking butt there!

I came hoping to get a feel for how the new dances were but don't have a clue after reading. Anyone?? Anything???

Why must YouTube do their "routine maitenence" so damn routinely lately??!!! What's up with that?

BTW I HAVE enjoyed Cloris more than not (although she has gone too far at times, but I noticed she has some problem hearing likely due to her age and I don't think she always knows she is interrupting etc). I actually respect that she cut out JUST clowning around and has been working as hard as her body will let her. I honestly felt she danced better than Rocco, and was far more entertaining. As for Susan, having watched AMC literally most of my life (so I for one definately noticed a difference in AMC from other soaps lol), I so wanted to love her. But she just really hasn't been able to stop looking so timid. For a show or two I thought she was really about to turn it around, but sadly IMHO she seems to have lost it (around the time of Misty's injury IMHO--wonder if it scared her or if she just gave all she had?? dunno). I really wish she would act as Erika Kane on DWTS. I think she would have done much better.

Obviously all my comments did not include tonights show since I haven't been able to see any of it yet...did I mention GRRRRRRRRRR

I agree that the jitterbugs were the best, and Julianne's was better than Derek's. I didn't like the other categories...well, except maybe salsa. The west coast swing looked like the cha cha to me. The hustle was a reminder of why disco died. Cute for nostalgia's sake, but I wouldn't want to see it in future seasons. I know they want to keep things from getting stale, but these dances just felt a bit more boring and sluggish than the usual.

I guess I just didn't like the pros having to do dances they themselves were unfamiliar with. The scores reflected the fact that there just wasn't enough time for both pro and contestant to learn a new dance together and perform up to their usual standards. Only the Wonder Houghs were able to overcome that problem, and possibly because the jitterbug involves so many impressive tricks. By this time in the competition there shouldn't have been so many 7's.

I can't tell you how disgusted I was to hear that hip hop will be their group dance next week. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

I would rather watch a disco dance than a slow waltz.

Susan dances like she will break, I know she is trying really hard but it is just hard to watch her and not cringe a little. You can tell she really loves being there. She has more content than Cloris but Cloris dances like she isnt afraid of breakin a hip

I just loved Warren, he makes me smile and cheer! He was my fav last nite.

I thought Brooke messed up a few times even though they were great

Juliana, love her and she looked just like Lucy. She did I dream of Jeannie last year, didnt she?

Cheryl is prolly one of my fav female dancers, I just cant take my eyes off her when she dances, I think that is why her male partners always go far.

Agreed, Angelicfairies. It's a legitimate genre just like the others and I'm glad to see them try it.

My favorites were Warren (I totally smiled the entire time watching him) and Brooke. But Cody was a close third.

Of the dance styles:

1. The West Coast Swing. Lacey really blew it with Lance. She needs to learn how to show off her star, and not show off herself. Lance looked completely out of place there, mostly just standing there while Lacey danced around him. That showing off showed her rookie status. She's not a good teacher. I also thought Toni and Alec's dance was boring, but better than L/L.

2. Salsa. For some reason, Cheryl looked upset most of the night. I know these dances were new to the pros, too, but it really showed on her face most of the time. Maurice, however, seemd to be having fun and it was an enjoyable dance to watch. Cloris is still bugging me. I didn't see much dancing from her, mostly a lot of standing there and maybe some shuffling of the feet. I know she's trying, but come on. And the walking around gathering kudos from the audience. Again, Cloris, this is NOT "Dancing with Cloris". Show some humility and empathy for the others.

3. Hustle. OK, the season is now half over. And sorry, but I think Susan doesn't have a musical bone in her body. That was one of the worst dances I've seen and they gave her a 21? I haven't seen any improvement in her at all. Warren, on the other hand, totally went out and rocked it. He and Kym looked like they were having fun, and it translated well. And geez, that big man can MOVE!

4. Jitterbug. Funny how the brother and sister pros went head to head on this one. (Coincidence? I think not!) But both Derek and Julianne really pulled out all the stops and made their pros look good. I loved Brooke but Cody wasn't far behind. (I also loved how Derek went on the 'net to figure out what to do, and how Julianne and Cody spied on Brooke and Derek!!)

At this point in the show, I'd think Susan and Toni should've really shown improvement and I'm not seeing it.

Tonight and next week, both Susan and Cloris need to go. I don't care which order. Then the next three should be Maurice, Toni, and Lance. I'd like to see F3 be Brooke, Cody, and Warren. I think it'd be interesting to see those three (such different dancers) battle it out to the end.

P.S. Mysticlady, that samba Toni and Alec did on Ellen? Yeah, you were right, it was last week's dance. I missed Monday's show due to traveling. Funnily enough, I thought they did a really lousy and tentative job on Ellen's show which is why I thought it was a preview of last night. If that was how they did last week, yeah, it wasn't good.

Can someone tell me what Cloris said on the show last night that they won't even replay on the radio this morning because listeners asked them not to?

She said Corky told her the character she was to portray was a "skanky 'ho".

LOL. Yup, that was it. Samantha kinda cringed when she said it... Cloris was saying "'ho" and couldn't remember the other word. When she finally said it you could see Samantha cringe, and then wonder aloud if they can say that on-air. It really wasn't all that offensive, since she was referring to herself (or rather, to what she SAID Corky said she should portray).

It always looks to me like Susan is dancing in slow motion. Or that they've slowed the dance down to the point where it LOOKS like it is slo mo.

I fell asleep again last night just before last dance. - it's official, I'm getting old. LOL. Luckily I found the youtube of Juliane & Cody today. Weren't they just outstanding? I honestly thought they'd get all 10s, for creativity, technique AND entertainment value.

While I would agree that Susan is generally a very wooden dancer, I totally give her props for dancing so well with 2 fractures in her foot! She didn't wince or stop smiling throughout her performance - a real trouper. I once had a hairline fracture on my foot just below my left pinky toe and it hurt like the dickens for weeks! I can't imagine how much pain she was in last night. On the other hand, she must have been very well medicated last night, considering it was so swollen earlier she couldn't walk on it and Tony had to take her to the hospital.

Just ran into this on IMDb. One sure wouldn't have guessed she'd hurt herself.

Burke Suffers Dance Injury
21 October 2008 4:57 AM, PDT


Dancing With The Stars contestant Brooke Burke has returned to the show after injuring her foot.

The model was performing the jitterbug with partner Derek Hough on Sunday afternoon when she fell during a high-energy routine.

Burke was taken to Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where medics confirmed she hadn't suffered a serious injury, but her foot was badly bruised.

A spokesman for the show says, "She's a little sore, but she rehearsed today and she feels ready to dance tonight."

Burke is not the first contestant to sustain an injury on the show; Olympic volleyball star Misty May-Treanor ruptured her Achilles tendon and was forced to withdraw from the competition, and comedian Jeffrey Ross suffered a corneal abrasion when his partner Edyta Sliwinska's hand grazed his eye.

I give Brooke more props than Susan for not bringing it up. I think Susan Lucci is going for the pity votes and sorry but I'm gonna miss that party. Yeah, the producers film stuff, but she could've said "I don't want to show this, I just want to dance".

And Mame, Susan said she wasn't feeling any pain in her foot during the dance.

I'm just watching last night's show. I had no idea West Coast Swing looked like that. I was imagining something more... swingy. I'm not sure I like it that much.

I used to do West Coast Swing (not in competitions, but out dancing). And it IS a difficult dance to do.

Kitt, I think you may be thinking of East Coast Swing. It's got a different count and it's a lot more "swingy". More like what you see when you see swing dancers, in the movies and all.
