Nicole is as good as the pros. Whoever she ended up with was in for a smooth ride. DWTS should hand out the celebs like the football draft does. Give last place the best next season and down the line. lol I live in dreamland but it would be nice to see the pros get equal good and bad each season

It would only be a dance competition if all the "stars" started at the same level. It's a showcase to make money for ABC and to extend the fame of has-beens and wannabees. Since they have semi professional dancers competing with those who have never danced at all, it's a popularity contest and people should vote for the "star" they like best.

Yeah when the pro and partner can only squabble over the choice of music...then I'd call that a ringer.

Tex: I don't really know anything about Kate. I didn't follow her show and I don't follow her and her ex's divorce or post divorce escapades. That being said I do think: a) she is judged very harshly by the judges and shown in a bad light. Even if she was as hateful as they make her seem, they could show more redeeming moments instead of just the whiney ones. b) people judge her harshly and I am amazed at the virulent hatred/anger toward her. Geez, she is just a person. Maybe not the best person in the world but I see more anger and hateful comments directed toward her than toward really bad criminals. I don't understand it. No one knows her except her friends and family. Viewers only saw/see an maybe .01% of her week in a 30minute format, edited to be what would be the most dramatic/endearing/grab the ratings type of way. She is just a human being.. warts and all.

" For that kinda money I'd dance on public tlevision in one of Edytas costumes....though few would appreciate it and I could only imagine the comments Ha!" LOL Nick! I agree with Tish, they should all be making a lot more $. Huk, great idea about the stars switching pros. I wish they would do that. Re: the illegal moves and lifts...I do not understand how this happens. The pros know what is a legal move and what isn't. I know they don't have total control over their partner, however, I don't understand why they would even do a lift. Can someone explain this to me?

I think they do it cause it pleases the audience and it is worth the judges ire to get the vote of the masses.

It looks to me like Kate is just plain worn out; so very, very tired. Forget a mile, I wouldn't care to walk around the block in her shoes. The weight she carries on her shoulders would take down most average women. From all the stress of her life and throwing in the dancing, I pray it doesn't take a toll on her health.

I was reading over at TWOP, and forgot about this, re: Erin & Maks: "Brooke does ask what's going on with them and they avoid the question until Erin says that nothing will be happening until he gives her a ring like Chad got Cheryl. Awesome. I like Erin more every week." I completely agree - that was awesome!

There are rumours in the UK that Derek will be a pro on Strictly Come Dancing next season (the UK's DWTS). That starts in September, which would mean he would have to miss the next US DWTS.

Question for you all... I know some of you voted for Ms Gosselin last week (for whatever reasons). Based on comments I've seen of Ms Gosselin's dance this week, I'm wondering if anyone here voted for her? I've not seen anyone say they've thrown votes her way, so I'm curious. I don't know if there is a VFTW or DialIdol type of thing for DWTS, so I'm curious whether there's a trend here that may "predict" tonight's elimination.

Kate Gosselin says she has no illusions about her chances to nab the mirror-ball trophy on Dancing with the Stars. Her kids, on the other hand, still think she can go all the way. "I was in the bathroom the other day with [5-year-old sextuplets] Hannah and Alexis," Gosselin recounted Monday during an appearance for On Air with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM. "And Alexis said, 'I hope you get voted through, Mommy. I hope you win!'" The low-scoring reality mom was blunt in response. "I said, 'Oh, Lexi, really, I'm not gonna win. The other dancers are a lot better than Mommy.' And Hannah said, 'No, they're not. You're the best!'" Regardless of her perceived odds, the 35-year-old says her eight little ones are her prime motivators. "This [DWTS] is the first and only thing I have ever done that my kids care about," she said. "It pushes me on to do better, to stay on the show...They count down the days until Monday!" Gosselin's partner Tony Dovolani, meanwhile, has his own predictions for this week's show: Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy will nail it. from yahoonews.com

Jimmer stated: What bothers me the most about Kate isn't that she can't dance. It's that she doesn't appear to be trying. It's hard to be enthused for someone who isn't enthused themselves. With Kate it seems like a chore. Unfortunately, she seems to make a lot of things feel that way. She isn't in a good place and I feel a bit sorry for her. Now you are getting why many of us just can't like this woman, Jimmer. She's always got an excuse as to why she just can't do it. Trying might help, but that doesn't seem to be in her personality; better to complain and make excuses. I guess I might want to feel a bit sorry for her because one of these days she's going to have to actually do it on her own and look out; she'll finally have something to actually complain about, but there won't be anyone around to listen. Re Tony will be kicked off with Kate; this man also deserves to be with his family and that isn't happening as long as Kate is on the show.

I thought it was very nice of Mr Ochocinco to pay homage to his teammate Chris Henry, who died last season after a terrible accident (or at least it was ruled accidental).

Cost..if you go to Dialidol it also shows the results from DWTS. Pam is #1 and Kate is last.

Costa, there is a dial idol for DWTS but not a VFTW (I looked a couple of weeks ago but they are totally pushing Tim Urban, no mention of DWTS.) I've seem plenty of people mention never voting before but now voting just to vote against Kate, and I'm guessing there may be some who never voted before voting for Kate just to counter those votes.. there often isn't a "why" for voting on these shows, at least from what people say. But remember, with dial idol most of the "placements" have such a margin of error that each pair is in a range of placements. Looks like Kate and Chad are predicted to be no better than 4th and as low as last, while Niecy and all other pairs could be as high as first and as low as last. So Chad and Kate appear (per the dial idol stats) to be more at risk than anyone else this week. But that is only using dial idol voters and to be one you have to use dial up access. ==== People who like Tony.. why on earth would it be better for him to have his job cut off? Do all people with jobs deserve to be home with kids and would anyone here who has a job and kids hope to be suddenly unemployed?

LOL - No kidding. I agree Sea. I'd be extremely happy to dance with Kate if they paid me what they are paying Tony.

Anna was traveling all over with Evan, so I guess he should be eliminated too so Anna can be with her family.

Lol, Jimmer, you might want to rethink that idea. Look how uptight Tony is and how he has to not say what he dying to say. Last night he was so funny when Bruno was critiquing Kate. He wanted to laugh so badly, but he knew he couldn't. Priceless look on his face. I just don't understand Kate always having her hand over her mouth and questioning every single thing during practice. She's so closed off. How do you get through to someone like that? It has to be very frustrating for Tony. I haven't seen it here, but there are articles online that say Kate is e-mailing people and begging for votes. She wants them to send said e-mails on to 10 people...kind of like spamming. Is that how she is staying even though she can't dance a lick?

The articles online about Kate sending out the email all come from one source - an online gossip rag. They don't show any proof that the email really came from Kate. Heck, they don't show any proof that there ever was an email at all.
