LPBW is on tonight but at quite a few times.. both earlier and later with the new episodes so as not to interfere with prime time. Molly's first formal dance is one ep and Matt wanting to finish Molly's Castle is the other. I think I'm fine with the actual dancing but I ff thru many of the featured singers (not all) and the dancers from Macy's and the build your own dance team (esp now that the star was chosen, no interest in ever seeing her dance again) and while I enjoy the kid dancers I do not enjoy seeing them lose (I'm sure they are used to it, but still) and a lot of the packages.. They could make the show much cleaner, leaner and meaner and show us the competition, the dancing and the judging. I do tend to see a show as greedy when they schedule more and more hours and the ones that go 1 or 2 minutes past the hour and crap like that.

I agree that this is overkill (reminds me of the crash of the prime time 'Millionaire' show). I can watch the whole episode in half the time! I FF through commercials, Samantha, packages, Macy's, kids, new pros and guest singers. Greedy is a good description. Damn...I really like this show...I hope they don't cancel it due to overexposure! (no pun intended!)

Gilles and Rachel Griffiths were in the audience together. Tom said Gilles will be in five episodes of Brothers & Sisters.

Okay, why did that young kid have to rip his shirt off and make me feel like a dirty old woman? LOL!

I didn't feel like a dirty old woman, I said ew. He cannot represent like Maks, Tony or Alec. Not even close. Another ew moment was Aaron with his open shirt.

There was a lot of great dancing tonight. I do feel, however, that Derrick and his partner did better at the Lambada; yet Aya got higher marks. If she got 10's, why didn't Derrick and the model? I think they got one 10, but they were fantastic. Does anyone else think there is a little favortism toward Mya? She's a wonderful dancer, but there are other good ones as well. I was happy for Melissa and Kelly. They both did great!

It's obvious that Mya is the Judges' favourite. She's a terrific dancer, but I felt that it was tame next to Derrick's Lambada which was HOT HOT HOT. But next time, he should keep his shirt on... he's got the chest of a kid, not very manly, IMHO.

I hope they don't do this again next season. They did the best they could, but choosing dances that even the pros are unfamiliar with doesn't make for the best performances. Is that really what the Texas two-step looks like? At times it looked like a cha-cha, at least in the routine Lacey did. And the lambada? Seriously? Were they saving the macarena for next week? The Charlestons were cute, but the quickstep incorporates a bit of that anyway. Ah, well. Very telling that Mya is now able to co-choreograph her routines. I think that's the real reason Len is being so tough with her. He knows she's on a completely different level than anyone else and he's trying to compensate. Otherwise she'll just be getting straight 10's every week. Derek probably should've left the shirt on and that last position was a bit much for me (not to mention held a bit too long). On a positive note, I was happy for both Melissa and Kelly for finding the confidence they needed. I felt bad that Natalie had to do a bolero after doing the rumba last week, even though she did well with them. It's hard to see the difference between the two, and they don't motivate people to pick up the phone as much as the other dances do. They should've given her something fun and quick this week.

OMG Aaron copped such an attitude with the judges when they had the temerity to say they didn't worship his slightly above average dance. I really hope he gets voted off; I don't care if Louie and Michael Irvin are worse dancers, I just don't LIKE Aaron. He kinda makes my skin crawl a little.

I live in Texas an none of those really looked like what you see around here as the Texas two step. That was one of the dances I taught my son before he went to his first dance.

I think Bruno and Carrie Ann will see nothing wrong with Mya.. well heck, last week Carrie Ann saw what we all saw, an illegal lift, even mentioned it and still gave her a 10. I also thought Derek and Joanna's lambada was hotter. Thought Kelly was scored a bit low, Melissa a bit high (but a joy to see each of them do so well), but did enjoy all three charlestons. I guess I'm not clear on what the bolero is, exactly. And the two steps, especially the last one.. well I agree.. when I watch the two step I see laid back, very much in synch partners, a very pleasing dance but not showing off the woman.. both together.. anyway, just different that what we saw.. thought Lacey's outfit was just a bit over the top for that dance.

Derek & Joanna was the best dance of the evening. The lambada we did yesterday in the Zumba class was very tame by comparison.

Crumb. I feel asleep right before Mya's dance, so missed hers. But I loved Derek's and Joannna's lambada!! Hot! Thought the couple who did the first one (can't remember who that was) did a lousy one. Was that Aaron? Oh yeah, Aaron and Karina. There was absolutely NO chemistry between them. And I thought the same thing as Carrie Ann... it made me uncomfortable to watch him. Kind of in a creeped out way. (And I didn't like his 'tude when the judges critiqued him, either, nor HER 'tude!) I was very glad to see that Derrick kept to most of the original dance style of the lambada. The movement is more side-to-side, and they really did some great movement! Loved the charlestons, and Kelly looked like she was having a blast! Actually, so did Melissa! Not so sure about the boleros. I thought they should've been darker and sexier. But again, I thought the music sucked on almost everything except the two-steps and Joanna's lambada. Thought the two two-steps I caught were awful. Especially Lacey's. There were maybe 10 seconds of real two-stepping. Heck, I'm not even a country fan and *I* know how to two-step! And yes, you can do all sorts of fancy footwork and twirls and stuff, but Lacey's did look more like a cha-cha. Then again, I never have liked her, and I think she doesn't do all that well when working with the stars. Kym and Cheryl obviously know how to work with what they're given, but Lacey seems to think it's cute to push the envelope. Bleah. I'm waiting for Mya's lambada to load on You Tube. Danged slow wireless in my hotel room and You Tube won't buffer!!! Grr... ETA: So finally managed to watch most of Mya's and Dmitry's lambada and I agree with y'all... Derek and Joanna really rocked it out. Was not impressed with Mya at all. The lambada is much more than just shaking your backend like in the samba. Finally, really REALLY umimpressed with the band again. Odd music choices and they just don't bring the dirtiness that you'd wanna hear while the lambada is performed.

My favorite lambada of all time was in the 2nd "Adams Family" movie. Danced by Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia (he was so good in those movies; such as loss).

I wasn't as impressed with the sexiness of Derek/Joanna's lambada as y'all were. Derek is a great dancer and choreographer, but Joanna is not as fluid as she should have been and I am not turned on by the sight of Derek's bare chest. He does not represent for me. Aaron's open shirt didn't do anything for me either. They should leave that to Maks, Dmitry, Tony and Alec ... the men, not the boys. I didn't care for any of the two steps. It's supposed to be such a fun thing and none of them made it look like that. Loved all the charlestons, but was just meh on the boleros.

I wish that when they give them 'new' dances, that they at least have some pros show US what it's supposed to look like! How can we vote if we don't know if they actually did the dance?? Bolero? Never heard of it!! The new Anna is not a very good teacher IMO - Michael just stood there while she stuck her butt out and danced around him. The Texas Two-step I've actually heard of, but it seemed like another case of the guy standing and posing, while the girl does all the work. I cannot believe that Michael, Chuck, Aaron and Mark are still there! The men are terrible this year! I guess Donny and Louis are the only two men that have any potential - the youngest and the oldest!

I find that many of the dances on this show have about 10 seconds of the "real" dance and real footwork and all the rest is fancy, choreographed moves and stunts. I'd really like to see more *dancing*.
