Computer, 2 cell phones and land line all voted for Donny last night.
I'd like to see Kelly or Joanna leave tonight.

Oh dear, this morning I'm seeing reports on gossip sites saying Aaron Carter has received a bill from the IRS for $1M in back taxes! Ouch.

I'll be simply crushed if Donny goes home tonight! I probably won't even watch the finale. Boo hoo!

I haven't posted before for DWTS, but I am an avid fan. I don't think either Donnie or Kelly will win based on the fact that they are not the best of the 4 dancers left, even though I like them both. I think it will be between Mya and Joanna. I think that Mya is a better dancer. I would not like to see Derek win the trophy again, and I would like to see him paired up with someone who is not good at all, like Jonathan was. I loved Dimitry in So you Think You Can Dance and I still love him. I think his choreography is great and it's about time for a new winner, other than the Houghs, or Ballas.

Costacat stated:
WRT to Donny, I realized something last night. A lot of people have been talking about Mya's previous dance experience. Yeah, what about Donny's? He's been an entertainer and on stage since he was a little boy. A good portion of the dance is all about performance. I guess it's OK for him to have all that experience, but not OK for someone to have dance experience IN A DIFFERENT STYLE? Just sayin'...

It should be okay for both of them. Unfortunately, Donny's dance experience is the type he did in his second dance last night..more freeform and the judges don't seem to care for that much. They want perfected styles, so his previous dancing, besides giving him rhythm, doesn't really help him much; however, Carrie Anne still expects 'more' from him, just as she does Mya. I think all the contestants should be judged equally and not higher expectations for some more than others.

I just don't care for Mya in general.. nothing about her previous experience, really. And I didn't grow up loving Donnie .. if the voting was between Mya and Donnie, I'd really have to think about that, probably I wouldn't vote, but if I did guess it would be who made me smile more that night.

I hope Kelly stays but hope Joanna stays as well. I wonder if they will allow it to be an all female final????

I hope Joanna & Derek leave tonight. I would like a finale without a Hough or Ballas in it.

If I had to pick between Mya and Donnie, it's no contest. Mya all the way!

Cricket, my point was that Mya gets dissed about her previous dance experience (here) but no one ever says anything about the years and years (!!) of experience Donnie has had as a performer.

And as far as equal judging, we will never have equal judging as long as the men compete against the women. If they split it into two categories, then it could be a bit more fair. But what is required of a woman vs what is required of a man? No comparison.

ITA it would be great to have 2 winners, one male, one female.

Lake_Gal I agree with you. A new pro winner would be great. I don't like Derek at all though. He needs to be knocked down a peg...IMO.

Mya is a paid chorographer.

I can't hold Donny's performance experience against him. The whole point of this show is taking celebrities and teaching them to dance. Most "stars" are going to be performers with years of experience. The fact that some contestants aren't performers has more to do with the producers not being able to get enough actual stars. If you leave out people with performance experience, you might as well cancel the show. You'll have nothing left but athletes and reality show stars.

Having dance training is another matter. That I have a hard time voting for, especially if the show tries to downplay it like they did with Stacy Kiebler when they pretended she was some oafish wrestler being taught to dance.

Costacat, yes, Mya definitely should win over Donny. I'm just saying that Carrie Anne seems to pick on him and Mya and says she expects so much more from them.

I think we will have a female winner this year, but I do agree that in many cases the men get better marks without having do as much actual 'dancing' as the women.

I haven't watched much this season but Kelli is my fav of the ones left so I hope she makes final 3. I know/knew who Donnie was prior to this show so I hope he stays too.

That being said, I hope either Joanna or Mya go home tonight and really don't care which one it is.

As much as I like Kelly (her personality, smile, infectious funny nature), it's come down to the time for me to get real about her dancing. I am one of those people who wanted her to stay in the competition as long as possible, because I like her yes, but also because I'm watching her grow and learn more and more each week.

Monday, she did better than Donny IMO, especially in her last dance. But overall, it's time for her to leave the competition. I mean - HONESTLY. Among the remaining contestants, she is waaaay behind the power curve with her dancing ability. I am still waiting for her to be more exact with her steps, sure of her performance, and smooth with her movements.

After tonight, it is time for the finals. I think Joanna may go home tonight, so Kelly taking 3rd place would be okay, just for likeability only.

I am a little concerned that Kelly could win it. She seems very down to earth to me, and I think she'd hate that, as she'd know it wasn't really fair, with two dancers significantly better than her. I'd love for her to be third, but with what seems to be limited support for Joanna (I don't know about Mya) I think there's a chance she could win. It would be a bit embarrassing for all, imo, as much as I adore her.

Hope I haven't jinxed her now!

I am so bummed! Donny was lousy last night and Mya just doesn't do it for me. I wanted one of them gone. I really wanted Kelly to stay! Joanna was my second choice - even though I didn't like her in Superstars.

I think Donny is the one behind the dancing curve, not Kelly. It was time for Donny to go. Boohoo.

Holding out hope that Kelly will stay, for one more week, and Joanna will go.
