Sara Ramirez has a rough time getting her first name pronounced correctly. The "r" is kind of half "d" sound and half "r" sound with a little more like the "d".

Saw this today in the local paper. Who knows how true it is. http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/1469808,CST-FTR-zp11.article

Denise is from Downers Grove?! That is very very nearly a neighbor to me. I didn't know she's from here.

I did not watch the entire show. Bigdog did, which is highly unusual. He said there was a male contestant near the end who was very good looking and got very high scores and will probably win. I have no idea who that might be. I suggested Gilles and Cheryl, and he said it was not them. Anybody know who he is talking about or have a Youtube link?

The stars who danced in the second hour were Holly, Ty, Shawn, Woz (?), David Alan Grier, Denise, and Melissa. Was he getting stars and pros mixed up? The program is going to be repeated Saturday evening.

Juju - maybe he saw Melissa and Tony and thought Tony was the celeb? Shawn was 5th from end, maybe he is remembering Mark's dancing because Shawn's name is normally a guy's name? link to Shawn and Mark's dance (you can see all dances through the same person who posted this one) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MextGSXPmQ

You know, I've spent the day wondering how Americans say gerbil and whether it was the same as I do! The Zh is clearer. I think Woz might be staying a few weeks, despite his failings. I like that he tried, which is more than some others with err, lower levels of natural talent have done in the past. I was really surprised how bad Ty was, I thought he would have more rhythm. I don't know how many fans Steve-o has but he must be one of the first to leave.

I like that everyone seems to be trying this year.

On ET last night I paid close attention how they pronounced his name and I thought it would rhyme pretty well with 'feel', but I do get the 'congeal' too. I think we've pretty much nailed it down. Thanks for your help.

I think it was Naja who gave the best suggestion...the "G" is pronounced like the "J" in Jaques (as opposed to Jack) and then eel.

Start off with the "G" sound in "genre" and then add "eel" to it.

That's good suggestion, Jimmer.

Well the "curse" continues- Steve Wozinak has a fractured foot- the docs say he can continue, but has to wear a boot (which shouldn't be too long anyway, since he's probably going to go next week)

Oh no! That's a shame, it really does seal his fate.

Who was it last year that did half of his dance on the unicycle? Maybe Woz could use his segway for part of it. Or not... lol. Poor Woz. The geek world will be up in arms over this. Conspiracy theories will be crazy about this one. ;-) Hey! Maybe we can come up with our own conspiracy theories and see who has the best/craziest?

and according to Access Hollywood, Steve-O has a bad back and it could force him out... It's looking more like it'll be who's gonna be the last one able to dance, not who's gonna win...

And Gilles has a "separated shoulder!" He did it a few hours before Monday's performance and was all strapped up for it!

Sheeesh. I missed the show, but I was interested and read up about it. So there was no elimination this week? Are they going to combine scores from the two weeks to decide who will be eliminated? Thanks!

Yep, they're combining judges scores and votes for this week, adding it to the same for next week, and then finding the bottom two. Did I read they were doing dance-offs this season, where the judges decide who actually leaves?? Or maybe I made that up!

Americans pronounce gerbil as if it were jerbil.

Thanks Juju! That's almost the same sound as we use. I checked and I didn't imagine the dance-off, so Watching, that's the other change for next week (and all weeks until the final).
