I think it's the first time I've heard Mark Ballas speak! He seems really young, but for what it's worth, I didn't see any chemistry between him and Shawn (after the shoulder kissing of last week), so I think it's all above board between them. eta: and for anyone else who's watching the recording, the new dances start at about half past the first hour

(yes, I am aware I'm talking to myself!) Melissa and Tony's dance doesn't go to the music at all! That's so not a cha-cha song!

LOL, not you're not Kitt! Though there usually seems to be more discussion after DWTS. I gave all of my votes to Gilles and Cheryl again tonight. I think Shawn and Melissa are good too, but there's something about the chemistry, choreography, or just "that something" that makes me prefer Gilles and Cheryl. Ty seems like a really nice guy, but I feel like the other three belong in the finals. It will be interesting to see if his fans pull him through again though.

I'm here too, but about to call it a night. Four votes to Gilles and one to Ty. Gilles and Cheryl really work well together. He thanks her so often.

Why do the producers get to pick the music and not the pro that has to choreograph the dance? I thought the music was awful for M/T and S/M tonight.

I think they have already crowned Gilles, which is fine, though without Cheryl, don't think the scores would be so perfect. Melissa's being required to compete with the pro women and falls short. Shawn gets the "she's so young and good" scores and Ty.. well, he has the public. But the judges are too kind with the scoring there. All nice people and fun to watch.. the judges not so much fun tonight.

I agree, the clips with Gilles and his family were sweet. I didn't even realize he was married, so it is nice to hear him speak of wife/kids. Ty as a young mini cowboy was cute, too.

Derick and Julianne are the best dancers on the show. I couldn't beleive Jualaunne got cut last week and a darn sure could not believe Derrik got cut this week. I could almost umderstand Jualianne, because she said she was quittig to persue her singing career, but there was NO reason to Cut Derrick.

I agree that Chelsie has really shined in her first year on the show. I hope she is back next year, I would love to see what she can do with someone that is a little more talented in the dance dept. I just love watching her dance. I like all of them and will be sad to see anyone go

That part of the salsa where Gilles and Cheryl had their back(sides) to the camera and did the hip thing...if you watched it you know what I mean...I had to rerun that several times. I usually don't agree with the "perfect" scores but I feel Gilles truly earned his last night.

Roxip, at that point were the lyrics a hard "one, two, three, four"? Cheryl was doin' a single hip action to each count and her "skirt" was flipping. I loved that. Wish I could do it. I was watching Cheryl, not Gilles?!

Cracked up so hard when they said Li'l Kim and her bionic booty were hiding in Gilles pants. hahahahah! Ready for Shawn to go, since I'm more 'invested' in the other 3. BUT won't be surprised if Ty is finally toast.

I agree, Mame. Gilles, Melissa, and Shawn are good. Ty tries hard. Have to say the look of Shawn's body bothers me. Heavily muscled for gymnastics. The gymnasts look generally small when they're competing. Shawn looks so muscular compared to other dancers.

Shawn has suprised me the past two weeks with her performances. She was always been technically good, but she really poured it on with the Pasa Doble and the Argentine Tango. Plus, the hairdressers really found a flattering, mature, sexy look for her with the "dos" she had. She has moved to the top of my list. Gilles is right up there, too. He has been a little inconsistant, but what a compelling performer! I know this is a minority opinion, but I could really do without Cheryl. Not so much last night, but so many of the dances look to me to be indulgent on her part - I know, that is just a subjective opionion, but I see that a lot with her. Loved Gilles reaction when Len said he wished he had an Eleven paddle! Priceless! Ty - well who couldn't love him! Hope he is in the finals. Melissa. Yes, she is pretty and has "beautiful lines". Yes, she is graceful. Yes, she sure can extend that leg waaaay up there. But all of her dances look just the same to me: TWIRL like a ballerina! GRACEFULLY reach with arms! EXTEND that leg to the ceiling! Then, the grand finale -scoot back between your partners legs, then to the front, and TA-DAA! I'm just a little bored with their performances.

Shawn's jive costume was hideous. That in no way represents what the jive is supposed to be. All those spots and ruffles and bows---it was impossible to see the dancing.

Colour, the 'look' of Shawn's body can be very distracting. She is muscular, but some of those costumes just make her look downright chunky - especially compared to the other dancers. Mind you I'd kill to look as fit and be as fit as she is. LOL

I agree about Shawn's body. She just doesn't look like a dancer to me. I know that shouldn't be the case - none of them are dancers - but she just looks so stocky to me (and I realize she doesn't have an ounce of fat on her body). Yes, that is EXACTLY where I was talking about...and Gilles was one two three four right along with Cheryl (I was watching his booty).

I tend to think of most dancers as being tall with long limbs and slim bodies. Shawn doesn't seem to fit that description. However, what she has going for her is that she is super cute, she seems to be having fun and is very nice and she has worked hard to develop her dancing skills. I've enjoyed seeing her on the show and I'll be very happy if she makes it to the final three.

I think Shawn's body is terrific, but as far as fashions, she has the type of legs you either show all from top to bottom, or cover the thigh completely. It's when she wears things that cut her thighs in half that it looks a little off.
