Anyone get the actual scores from each judge for the two dance off couples tonight? Did they say if Steve-O is ok to keep dancing?

Can you pick me up here in Chicago too Pamy?? *beg! I think Steve's scores were 6 - 5- 6 (oh yeah there was that funny moment ) Didnt see Belinda's scores - and no one knows about the audience scores, except they did give Steve a standing ovation! and his doctor said he'd be ok - but it would be better if he didnt dance...

I don't have a problem with anyone on this board expressing any opinion at all (that is what the board is for) - but I do have a problem with Maks making a public statement. He is a paid professional on the show and should keep his mouth shut. Actually, I am surprised that it is not in his contract to refrain from trash talking competitors that ABC asked to be on the show.

It's kind of a shame to see Belinda go first, since it would make a lot more sense to cut the guy with the crushed foot. Great attitude aside, I doubt that's going to get any better with more practice. I was curious to see if Belinda would improve over time, but I guess she doesn't have enough of a fan base anymore. Belinda is proof that being in a band doesn't mean you automatically have dance experience. I had a friend in high school who moved here from France and her last name was Gilles. She kept trying to teach me how to pronounce it, but I never could say it the way she did. The best I can describe it is the soft J sound, the "EE" sound, and then possibly a Y sound. I could never tell if she made an L sound at the end. I'm with Maks on the whole Melissa thing. The one thing I do appreciate and respect is that this time they were up front about her experience instead of trying to cover it up. I do expect most actors and actresses to have had some dance training in their childhood. Dancing professionally as an adult is different. It doesn't matter to me if she's not used to dancing with partners. She's used to learning complicated choreography quickly, and that's a huge advantage over everyone else. The fact that she was able to be in the top two with only two days of rehearsal spoke volumes. Add to that the fact that she's not a star and I just can't bring myself to ever cast a vote for her. Trista Sutter was the best female dancer of her season, but she was first out because people were disgusted that she was put in the category of "star." The Bachelor mess is yesterday's news now and it will seem awfully weird if the winner of this season's "Dancing With the Stars" is some girl whose claim to fame most people won't remember. I'm sure ABC would be happy, though. They could milk that Bachelor story that much longer.

B/J: CA-5, B&L 6 S/K: CA&B 6, L 5 Steve-O cleared to dance, he took all responsibility for that last back flip, Lacey tried to talk him out of it.

I agree with Alisons. I used to like Maks a lot, but he tends to whine and not behave very professionally.

I guess I'd rather have Melissa as a "star" than Steve-O of Jackass fame.. I don't consider him a star of any ilk. And they also had a VERY short timeframe there; I'd say Melissa helped to bail THEM out. Holly's "fame" is from playboy and a reality show.. I think if that qualifies.. so does Melissa. Gilles.. Born: Jan 26, 1976 - French actor/model famous for his shower scene in Sex and the City. Not exactly a full resume.. Hey, next season, maybe octomom?

As for the trash talking, seems like that has been sort of encouraged for several seasons, probably to get people talking.. and we are!

The dance off means that we have to sit thru the 2 worst dances again.

Isn't the dance-off basically the same as "dance for your life" on SYTYCD? I don't watch SYTYCD much.

Not exactly the same because they are just re-scoring the dances and then those scores, as well as the orignal scores, as well as the phone in scores are used. So, it's still pretty unclear who's going home until they announce it. I think they are just running out of things to do in that hour. Instead of cutting it down to a 1/2 hour show, like it should be, they are using the dance off as filler. Thank goodness for fast forward!

There is too much to tape on Tuesday nights (my DVR will only tape 2 at once and you can't watch a third) as it is, with Idol, Mentalist (pause to drool over Simon Baker) and DWTS all going on at the same time. Plus my faves the Duggars! (Luckily they repeat a million times.)

I don't think the dance-off is being used as a time filler. In the past at times there have been complaints about the wrong star going when it comes to the bottom two -- and therefore a star who should go doesn't. This makes it more likely that the "right" star goes without totally taking it out of the viewers' hands.

It will be interesting to see if that happens Color because they are still including the viewers phone votes in there. Aren't we still 50% of the vote? I suppose they could really give a great score to the dancers and try to overrule that 50%. I wonder what the percentage was before? Wasn't it always 50%? Someone who's scoured the rules needs to weigh in here.

I still love Maks! I could watch him dance forever! That thing Belinda did at the end of her dance(handstand)? somebody should have talked her out of that I cannot wrap my head around the Maks & Karina love connection. lol

I also don't think Belinda's outfit did her any favors at all. I was hoping she'd do a lot better than she did, I loved the Go-go's!

That thing Belinda did at the end of her dance(handstand)? somebody should have talked her out of that I agree. I really wonder if that was Belinda's or Jonathan's dumb idea? I'm surprised the judges didn't comment.

That was Bethenny from RHNYC behind Tom. Bethany is on Bonnie Hunt today. I'd never seen Bethenny before. I like her.
