I think the judges are inflating and deflating scores- its subjective, too subjective... that's why we feel we get to have a "say" - and I do think Niecy and any of the "big" girls really dont have a chance in the end, for instance the judges didnt think it was fair that Pam and Erin were in the bottom 2 - WTH? WHO should be in the bottom 2? Because of that statement I just know no matter what somebody will be scored low next week to make up for the viewers votes! I think if the judges score them all within a point of each other the viewers have more say - but when they scored Buzz so low, it didnt seem like he could overcome those low of scores - we really dont know how or what formula they use tho - this is all my speculation!!

well Erin commented on Elizabeth's remarks- she called them "a slap in the face"- http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2010/05/erin-andrews-elisabeth-hasselbecks-remarks-were-a-slap-in-the-face/1 and Elizabeth apologized on The View the morning... http://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/news/erin-and-elsabeth-with-flash-201055

Maybe I'm jaded, but I didn't think that apology was sincere. I think ABC made her apologize. After all, not too long ago Tony Kornheiser, another ABC/Disney/ESPN employee was suspended for making a comment about Hannah Storm (another sportscaster) attire ...

It felt totally calculated to make the sympathy switch to EH herself. aww poor EH. She feels so bad. I wonder how many times she practiced the story.

I felt it was a sincere apology and I don't like Elizabeth. Good for her for telling the world what she said was just mean and wrong. But she prob is jealous, who wouldn't be? Erin gets to dance with one of the hottest guys on Earth! lol. LOve me some Maks!

I liked Elisabeth so much on her season of Survivor. Ever since then, her stock with me just continues to plummet downwards ...

Agreed. I just try to forget that she was sweet little Elizabeth on survivor because now she's just... well, you know. It's as if it's not even the same person.

Wilson, thanks for posting that. The problem I had with "the apology" is that I would have preferred to have her come right out and say 'I was wrong" rather than "I told my daughter I was wrong" ... I know it is a very fine line, but I just didn't feel that she owned her mistake... but rather was hiding behind a talk with her daughter. Was she so upset because of what she said about Erin? or because she had to admit to her daughter that she hurt someone?

I didn't find the apology sincere at all. It's typical Elisabeth. When she gets in trouble, she cries and shifts the sympathy to herself. Remember her climbing in Barbara's lap that time? I doubt it will take her daughter too long to figure out, if she hasn't already, that it is not uncommon for her mom to say things that hurt people, or, at the very least, doesn't much care about the impact of her words. I loved Elisabeth on Survivor, number one fan, but I think the editing showed us a very different person than the "reality". Makes me sad.

Whoever green-lighted the piece about Andrews yesterday should also offer and on-air apology. This was no off the cuff comment from Elisabeth. They had a montage of pictures of Erin in three of her costumes and the voice-over bloke even said at the beginning of the show that Elisabeth would be taking about something to do with DWTS. I wish I could remember exactly what he'd said. It was quit obvious that it was known that Elisabeth was going to make that comment. Sherri even said that Gaby Sidibe had made a comment about it downstairs before the show started.

Exactly Bonbon - the view has done "Behind the Scenes" shows before in which they show how the cohosts sit together and go over the "hot topics" - for example a producer (on the behind the scene show I watched) came to EH and talked about the thong underwear for kids, EH asked her to go to a store to buy a pair - then she went over some jokes about another topic - then they show the segment, word for word, they have cards that are in front of them - they dont do "off the cuff" remarks.

Kind of boring side comment: I saw something on Extra, or one of those shows, saying it was Cheryl's 26th birthday... I didn't realise she was so young. I think we expect quite a lot of the pros (I'm talking about things like accepting jewellery from Chad) given their age and considering it's a pretty high stress job. Here are the ages of the current season pros who are under 30: Chelsie Hightower 20 Mark Ballas 23 Derek Hough 25 in a couple of weeks Cheryl Burke 26 two days ago Edyta Sliwinska 28 tomorrow Anna Trebunskaya 29 Which reminds me, I didn't say how spectacular I thought Anna was this week! I've never really warmed to her, but her dance this week and some of the holds/spins she was in were perfect.

It also shows how heavy makeup is so aging. I am always surprised at how young they look during rehearsals.

Is Chad married? I noticed that Cheryl was wearing the heart necklace he gave her on last nights show. He seems afraid to touch her or hug on her like all the other couples do. Makes you wonder if she is trying to hide something...

ChitChat- Chad isn't...In fact, he's supposed to be doing a VH1 reality show called "The Tournament" this summer (he starts with 16 women, and sets it up as NCAA Tournament-style elimination format to get to the last one)

OK, sorry, but there is NO WAY that Edyta is under 30. She is superhot beautiful with an amazing smoking body but she is also 100% mid to late 30's. I will eat my hat if that is true. And I would say the same about Anna.

Just saw Eliz Hasselbeck's tearful comments on the View. Except I didn't see any actual tears. Did anyone else? And she sure stopped crying soon when discussing her devotionals with her daughter etc. BLECH! I truly dislike her and can't fathom how she keeps that job. All that said, I feel really bad for Erin. Bad enough she's on DWTS and dealing with the pressure of millions watching her learn to dance on live TV, while dealing with that horrible stalking issue. But she needs this judgemental nonsense?? And all in the same week when she ends up in the bottom 2 after getting 3 9's??? Poor thing! So wonder if Edyta is lying or just looks old LOLOL

I never watch the "View", can't stand the show, but what little I've seen of Elizabeth Hasselbeck, she seems to have great family values, and high morals. The few times I did watch the show I felt terribly sorry for her, she was always out numbered, and bullied, it seemed like such a mess. I stopped watching long ago. How terrible for Erin, I can't imagine the fear she must feel knowing someone was watching and stalking her.

I saw the vid clip of Hasselbeck's "apology". I didn't believe it for a minute. She didn't just apologize. She made a whole thing about how she had to admit to her daughter that SHE had done something bad. She "cried" (and yes, I didn't see tears) but then she laughed immediately when describing her daughter's reaction. The whole thing was a sham. And I do believe that the "comment" she originally made was rehearsed. I liked that woman on Survivor but I can't stand her now.

I guess I'm out of the loop, what was Elizabeth Hasselbeck apologizing for? I'm dying to know.

She was apologizing for some horrible comments she made about Erin's skimpy clothing- something like her stalker could have just waited to see her on DWTS, and gotten most of what he wanted. To me, there was an implication that Erin was sleazy, and why was her stalker being convicted of something she was basically giving out on national tv. It was really awful.

EH should be replaced with someone of the same political mind but common sense and genuine compassion thrown into the mix.

The worst part about it is after she said those awful things, she was confronted by the other women on the show, and she STILL stuck up for herself. Which is why I'm thinking she was less than sincere in her "apology".
