Well, there's a big gap in the scores this week: Niecy- 43/60- 17.00% Chad- 45/60- 17.78% Erin- 53/60- 20.95% Evan- 53/60- 20.95% Nicole-59/60- 23.32% If it's not Niecy and Chad in the bottom two tomorrow, I'll be HUGELY shocked..there's almost a three percentage point difference between Chad and the tied Erin and Evan. Nicey is almost four percentage points behind Erin and Evan. That's a big number to make up...

Ok I've officially lost it...I JUST realized I totally forgot to watch tonight. And since I was watching the amazingly brilliant Treme, I don't even regret it. I'm still surprised that I totally forgot though. Based on past dancing, the scores sound fair. While I have really enjoyed Niecy, and wouldn't mind her being on another week, the top 2 really are in a different league than she and Chad are. And kinda nice to see the judges finally doing their part to keep it somewhat fair hopefully.

WOW!!! I can't believe you guys aren't raving about Derek and Nicole. IMHO this proves that Derek is by far the best dancer AND the most amazing choreographer on the show. I remember growing up watching old Gene Kelly movies, and all I could think of during that bench dance was "OMG Derek IS a modern day Gene Kelly!" And I'm not exaggerating. He was as light, breezy and effortless on his feet, and his choreography SUCH FUN! No clue what they pay this guy, but it's not enough! Just WOW!!!! BTW I thought that Niecy was overall better than Chad. I still haven't watched Erin or Evan yet.

I wonder what Derek could have done with Pamela Anderson as a partner. She was not bad, but she was not Nicole. Being young, is Derek always going to get the young, in-shape, agile partners who do have something resembling a dance background? Or how 'bout pairing him with Shannen?

I think Derek would have done well with Ms Anderson. I think he's so good as a teacher that he would force her into doing things and breaking habits she never got rid of with Damian (who was, I think, also very good. I don't believe they should have been eliminated already). I think all you need to know about Nicole's performance is that when the camera panned to the stars after Nic and Derek's paso doble, Mr Ochocinco said "wow" to Cheryl. That sorta says it all. I personally preferred Derek's futuristic paso last season or a couple seasons ago to this one, but it was a phenomenal dance nonetheless. Their fox trot?--a thing of wonder. The Gene Kelly comparison is apt. I know I'm alone in this, but Mr Lysacek bores me to tears. I just find him utterly uninteresting as a dancer and then when he talks he solidifies my perceptions of his dancing. To me--and me alone--he's like the visual equivalent of white bread.

They'll probably give the encore to Nicole again, but I thought Erin deserves it more for her tango- plus she's the only one who hasn't gotten one yet.

I think Erin could get the encore. There was a judges' request earlier this season or last that really surprised me. Was not who I expected at all. With my short memory, don't remember the couple or dance now.

I think the judges are determined that Erin will be in the finale. I just don't feel anything watching her except uncomfortable. I'm appreciating Nicole more and that wasn't expected. (by me, of me) Yep the fox trot was wonderful and the other dance, liked that too. You aren't alone in being bored by Evan...

Lurk, how interesting! I had the exact same thought when Derek was foxtrotting...he's today's Gene Kelly, very similar body lines, and so, so, so smooth. Erin and Mak's tango was also terrific last night, but like several others, Evan does absolutely nothing for me. He's lacking in attractiveness, if that makes sense, and I never feel compelled to look at him when he's dancing (or at any other time). I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's just so...bland in personality and there's something off putting in his looks.

LOL I had the same thoughts about Derek, and also wondered what he could've done with Niecy!!

I thought Evan showed a lot of personality last night especially during the practice for the futuristic dance. He just doesn't have the super bubbly outgoing personality of some of the other celebs who are in the limelight a whole heck of a lot more than he is. He's in the spotlight once every 4 years. The national figure skating championship barely makes the news unless the skater is from your area. He does have the focus though. At this point I'd want any of the 4 to win besides Nicole. As Carrie Ann said she is the best dancer they ever had on the show. I don't want someone who was already so good and then placed with the best choreographer to win. I want to see someone grow from week 1 to the finals. What song did Derek and Nicole have for their 50's Paso? It didn't sound anything like 50's music to me.

I asked this earlier, and apologize if it has been answered... but I did not see answer. Does the season-long score somehow play into the ultimate crowning of the winner?

No, no the actual scores, but of course the memory of the performances will factor into viewer votes. Plus I think it sometimes factors into the judges' votes too, but that's just my opinion.

Erin Andrews: I "Never" Spoke to Elisabeth Hasselbeck US Weekly Erin Andrews is still waiting by the phone for Elisabeth Hasselbeck's apology. Last week, Hasselbeck insulted Andrews' skimpy DWTS costumes in light of the peephole stalker who posted a nude video of her (he is now serving a 2 1/2-year prison term). The next day, Hasselbeck tearfully apologized to Andrews on The View, saying that her 5-year-old daughter, Grace, told her to just call Andrews, "and I followed her advice," Hasselbeck said. But Andrews told UsMagazine.com at Monday night's DWTS: "I didn't speak with her, no. I never talked to her." The ESPN reporter, 32, says she's "dealt with" Hasselbeck's remarks. "I'm moving on," she told Us. "I'm tired of talking about it. It's a new week." Still, she admits she was pleased that partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy had her back. (Chmerkovskiy defended her: "I'm the one designing [Andrews'] dresses for the show, so I'll just assume that [Hasselbeck] is jealous... and stupid....") "It was really nice to have Maks stick up for me and the entire cast and a lot of the media," says Andrews, who got a 53 out of 60 for her Argentine tango and '80s rumba. "We got a ton of support." [etc] So my question about last night is: what was Vera Wang doing there? They showed her twice in reaction shots, but they reason for her presence was never made apparent to the audience.

That was Vera; not sure she had any 'official' reason except as a fan. They rarely acknowledge the celebrities in the audience.

Vera Wang designs Evan's skating costumes, so she probably came to support him.

Apparently she also went out with Cheryl, Evan and Kim Kardashian after the fact.

You know, I'm sick of having Nicole/Derek shoved down our throats- they get the encore AGAIN...Erin/Maks deserved it more, scores schmores.
