Isn't Niecy busy enough? She'd be better than Samantha or Brooke but I'd be fine with just Tom, who is REALLY a good host.

I like Melissa and would be fine with her involvement, but I gather I have missed her completely since I have yet to see a result show this season.

And I'm not the least bit ruffled or upset that others may have differing opinions on any of these people.

WOW what an excellent idea about Niecy!!! Beach, I'd go as far as saying a stroke of genius! She'd keep us laughing, but she knows how to get down to business when she has to.

Based on how the show is structured, they need another co-host unless they revamp where they get the scores etc.

She would be a fabulous addition!!! Between Niecy and Tom's wit, it would be a JOY to watch each week. We need to get TIIC to see what a fabulous idea this is!!!!!!

I must be a minority, Niecy is fine in small doses, but as host, please no!
Brooke is just finding her way and I think she is already miles better than Samantha, she as a former winner brings something very special to the role.

Brook annoys me enough when she is on The Doctors but I guess she is better than Samantha. I mostly fast forward through Brooke's bits and did with Samantha.

Niecy I could see joining the funny panel they have at times, though I've missed that since I never seem to have time that night to watch the result show.

But if moms shouldn't be away from their kids so much, seems like Niecy is gone early in the morning for ET and part of the year she is doing Clean Sweep or whatever that show is called, so give her kids a break and let mom be home some.. actually I think she's a pretty big personality to be an interviewer.

As for having to change where they do the second interview,that works for me. Tom handled it all for awhile and he was great. He is fast on his feet, has a great, expressive face and moves things along.

Dahli, you're not alone. I never understood the Niecy love. Her "jiggly bits" shtick got old for me, and her screeching.

Over the top and always "on" people gets very old, very fast. I had a friend like this and by the time the visit was over you were exhausted.

I love Niecy. I love her more on Reno 911 (but never watched that many eps) and Clean House more than on DWTS. But I still loved her on DWTS. I think she would make a good host, but I'd be afraid she might detract from Tom some and I wouldn't like that. Maybe she could fill in for Tom if for some reason he can't be there for an ep or 2.

Hosting a show like this is a balancing act. The host should control the show and add to the flavour of the show without dominating the other personalities. I'm not sure how well Niecy would do with that balance.

Let's not forget...maybe Niecy was always "on" was because she actually WAS on live tv! Since the entire cast has had endless wonderful things to say about her, and how she has nutured all of them, I'm thinking she likely goes down many notches off air and isn't always the over the top person we get when the red camera light goes on!

I think she could host and be told to just cut back on the jokes, but toss a couple in here and there. I really think she could do a fabulous job with it.

And I don't recall Tom ever hosting alone...when was that? When Samantha blessedly was off for maternity leave, Drew Lachey took over and did a fabulous job. So good she came running back early and continued her usual horrid job (IMHO of course).

There was at least one episode but I can't remember when and have little inclination to look it up.

Bottom line I don't think they really need two different hosts and Tom is excellent in the role.

I don't recall that episode but I didn't watch most of the first season so maybe it was then. But on to the main point.

Whether we think they need a co-host or not, that is clearly the format THEY want and think they need. So if we are going to be stuck with a co-host, I'd rather it be someone I enjoy.

I find Brook a slight improvement to Samantha, in that she doesn't trip and stumble over every single thing she says, and she says less stupid off the cuff comments. That said, she hasn't added a thing IMHO. She just made it less bad lol. I think Niecy has the potential to add something and make it better, as long as they keep her toned down. Plus it might be nice having a co-host who doesn't look like she got the job because she looks like one of the old "Barker's Beauties" ala perfection from The Price is Right! I can't see them changing the formula, so we might as well have the best possible co-hosts IMHO.

I'll be revealing something on Monday's DWTS which may surprise both our couples & our viewers. It'll be fuel for the Finals, to be sure!

I think Niecy might be the lady on a home show where they go in and organize the house. I stopped watching the show because of the lady host, just too much Host all the time, couldn't take the high octane.

I wouldn't be shocked it they have the dance-off this week- but they haven't told the couples yet. It doesn't change the 50/50 split in judges scores and view votes- they take the judges scores in the danceoff and add them to the votes the couples got the night before.

Well it's not a gamechanger- Tom announced that all four remaining couples have led the viewer vote at least one time each.

Only Chad's and Evan's Latin dances remain. So far, scores have been all 9s and 10s.

Chad pulled only 25 on his 2nd dance- he's 4 points behind Erin...

OK...Chad has to make up about a 1.8% gap in judges scores between him and Erin. Evan and Nicole are about 1.3% ahead of Erin.

Chad- 23.00%
Erin- 24.80%
Nicole- 26.10%
Evan- 26.10%

CRAP just took one of the unexpected naps. Why do I keep missing this show? Was Chad really that close in dancing to Erin??

They tied on their first dance Lurk (27 each)- Erin got 29 on her 2nd dance, but Chad only got 25.

It'll be tight tomorrow- Evan is probably safe, but I'm still not sold on Nicole's fanbase- Tom mentioned each of them have lead the viewer vote at least once, but didn't mention when they were the leaders (It's easier to lead early than late since you don't need as a high of a percentage).

I'm torn. Evan was amazing, but I want to lean toward Chad because he has improved a lot and was wise enough to point out several times that he started from the beginner level.

I'm surprised they actually were so open about showing Erin and Nicole's dance background in the bios. At least they're being honest this season. Still, I won't be surprised if Nicole is this year's Stacy Kiebler and ends up in third place.

Wilson, thanks, I should have phrased it better but I was still groggy, confused, not to mention pissed lolol. How did it appear dancewise to those watching? Were they as close as the scores sounded? That's what I was trying to ask lol

Erin seemed off I thought, she gave her best but I think she knows she's probably gone tomorrow unless the fanbases are more in her favor than we all think they are- I gave my votes to her because I'd rather have her in the final 2 than yet another NFL player. It'll come down to who Niecy's fans transfer their votes to.

I think Nicole has a good chance of winning simply because she is obviously the best, dance background or not.....and she has Derek as her partner and choreographer. In my opinion, Derek has become the star among the professionals and, in some way, he is also the real star of the show. Over the years, I think most of the professionals have become stars in their own right.....and I often find myself voting for the professional as well as their star/partner! Needless to say, you can guess who I'll be voting for!

But Curlq, you make a very good point about Stacy Kiebler who should have won.....and I think that also applies to Mario Lopez, even though it was the audience vote that landed him in second place.
