Ahhhh I liked Louie. Maybe he's not a great dancer but I'm sure he's gained many fans!!

I think if Kelly doesn't get better with technique she will be in danger in the next week or so. She's so cute and she's trying so hard but she really needs to work harder on technique.

and I think Kelly's nerves get to her. I'm hoping the best for her, too!

I'm very worried for Kelly too. I admit that while I love her AND Donny, Mark is amazing!

I think Kelly may get nervous but having the judges mention in repeatedly probably makes her even more nervous. Costa, Melissa went out with America combined with the low scores from the judges -- tied for low score and then got only 4 points in the dance off and she seemed to never have the fan base that Michael has. She seemed to grow increasingly uncomfortable, but I did read somewhere that she may have been fighting the cold that her parter had and that probably made her more likely to clump around last night.

Just a peripheral comment about last night's show. I was disappointed in Taylor Swift's singing skills last night. She was very off key. Now don't get me wrong, I like Taylor Swift (I even have a "You Belong with Me" ringtone on my cell phone). I wonder what happened. Okay, back to the dancers discussion. Go Donny!

I gave her props for not lip synching but she seems flat or a bit atonal.

I am glad I wasn't the only one who heard that LOL I was wondering what all the big hubbub was about Taylor Swift after hearing her sing last night.

Taylor is a very talented singer. She speaks to a lot of kids in her age group. My daughter loves her music! Plus, she writes many of her songs.

The knock about Taylor Swift is she's great in the studio, but not so good live...She's hosting and singing on Saturday Night Live in a couple of weeks, so that should be interesting to see. The 2nd elimination next week will be interesting to see (Michael is probably out in either case)...we're due for a really shocking elimination (I don't count Natalie as one)

I really like Taylor Swift, appreciate that she writes her songs but she is not that great a singer. Every time I see her on the award shows singing, she is not in tune. I give her props for singing live though.

she was on SNL last season and did a really great job. i am wondering if it's something with the DWTS studio/sound system (not sure if that's right) but i have noticed other singers sounding 'off' too.

Looking forward to tonight's show ... Glad I'm not the only one seeing some discrepancies about how Mya is scored. If the argument is that she already has good dancing ability, then why nitpick her to death, just to find something wrong with her performances???? I totally don't agree that her scores sometimes look like some of the other star's (who's performances are seriously lacking), when the totals are given. Odd. I'm really enjoying Donny's performances lately. He seems to be building up more stamina and being a showman lately. Kelly is just cuter than cute, and I love her personality, but dancing is not her strong suit. I don't know what to say about Aaron and Joanna's dancing skills, except that they both seem to try really hard, but are unconvincing. And honestly, I try hard not to compare Mark and Michael, but can't get away from it. They are so similar, in that they have a very competitive spirit. Michael is "large and in charge" by his looks, but has very little finess. (Comes with the territory, I guess.) Mark could be one of my favorites, except he seems to be a perfectionist. Dancing is about having fun while displaying the technique, and it's great to see him do just that, without all the tricks and flips.

Apparently from Mark D's tweets, Lacey is either hurt or ill and he'll have a replacement partner.

Wow, it seems they can't keep everyone healthy/uninjured at the same time this year. That flu is so contagious, I'm surprised more of the dancers haven't gotten it.

Me too, those shots of Derek training with Joanna just before he had to stop, and he was covered with sweat and clearly had a temperature... I thought for sure she would have caught it from him.

The latest flu victim on Dancing with the Stars is Lacey Schwimmer, who was hit hard by the virus on Thursday while traveling in New York with her dance partner, Iron Chef America’s Mark Dacascos. From her sickbed Sunday night, Schwimmer tells PEOPLE she’s “thrilled” fellow pro Anna Trebunskaya was available to fill in at the last minute. “I have total faith in Anna. I know she and Mark will have perfect chemistry and hopefully I’ll feel well enough to cheer them on backstage.” Meanwhile, Schwimmer says she hopes fans “remember to vote so Mark and I can dance next week!” Trebunskaya received a call Friday night to sub in for what she initially thought would be one day of rehearsals. But when Schwimmer’s condition worsened, Trebunskaya was asked to perform with Dacascos on Monday night’s live show. “I was supposed to help him out and train on Saturday,” Trebunskaya says. “But Lacey got really sick and when she got back from New York. [Filling in] has definitely been a challenge.” That’s because Dacascos had to learn two routines — the samba and the paso doble, which is this week’s group dance — in two days. “We rehearsed 12 hours Saturday and again Sunday,” says Trebunskaya, who was paired earlier this season with ultimate fighter Chuck Liddell. The two were eliminated in week four of the competition. Schwimmer is not the first DWTS professional to come down with the flu. Derek Hough and Mark Ballas were both ill this season.

I don't miss seeing Aaron, I am ok with that. I am going to vote for Mya and Kelly without seeing it. I know that's wrong, but I don't care. Len makes me not watch!

I'm pulling mostly for Kelly and Mya (and Joanna) too. I'm not an Aaron fan either. But for just watching the dance, his dance was very goooood.
