I thought Nicole's draw for PCD was as a singer more than as a dancer. As for the signs she throws, isn't that a commonly used sign in Hawai'i? Not a gang sign. I could do without people posing without any signs, but also without pursed lips or tongues flapping, but that's just me. I'll vote for her if I think she is the best dancer of the three. (so far I certainly do and at this point my votes are about the dancing for the most part, though my dislike of both Erin and Maks would make it less likely I'd be voting for them, I suppose)

For being a singing group that only sings, prances, and strikes sexy poses, PCD has some awesome dancers ... Kherrington Payne from SYTYCD as well as Rino Nakasone-Razalan from ABDC ... http://www.puresytycd.com/2010/05/23/kherington-is-a-pussycat-doll/

I think I was more remembering the reality shows for pussycat dolls and really that was for a smaller group and some of them were more singers and definitely not dancers so much. So I'll say I probably don't know so much about PCD if that is really totally different. I did think Nicole came in from the show, though. And still don't know that she had BALLROOM background as do some of them. I guess I'm saying just because some PCD have ballroom background doesn't mean being a PCD meand you HAVE that background. So I'm not sure that Nicole had more background than Erin or maybe even Evan. Kherington, definitely does. I've never wtched ACDC so can't comment there. Anyway she has won me over from being totally against at the beginning of the season so she'd doing something right for me, it seems.

I can probably predict what'll happen tonight and tommorrow- The judges will praise all three,Evan and Nicole will be tied (or maybe have one point between them) and Erin will be far enough back (say 2-4 points) that no matter what happens in the third dance Tuesday, she'll be eliminated in third. The judges will then completely punt on the final dance-off between Evan and Nicole, leaving them tied, and Evan wins because he has a larger fanbase than Nicole does.

OMG just noticed this story as I was reading something else, and while I took a personal pledge to stop reading all things adult Gosselin, I had to look. I SURE hope this is wrong. If true she got paid the absurdly high and IMHO unfair amount of half a mil bux for doing DWTS. What got me most is they said how it's likely far more than the other stars and she was main attraction. And to prove their point they cited Aiden Turner. UM, I tuned in to see him and I couldn't wait until she was voted off the island!!! Just SOOO wrong IMHO! Here's a link (and a warning--there is a barfalishous part about her doing anything to feed her kids. Cue violin music!!); http://www.popeater.com/2010/05/24/kate-gosselin-dancing-salary/

As someone who has had dance background, just because you've had ANY dance background doesn't mean you know how to do ballroom dancing. Yes, you may be more aware of your body and yes, you may be able to learn more quickly. But having dance background and dancing ballroom are completely different things. (Pay attention to the next SYTYCD and see how well the hip hop artists do on the first quickstep and you'll see what I mean. The dancers usually don't do well first time out in ballroom.) As far as the type of dancing in the PCDs, Nicole was hired primarily as the front lead singer, with some dance background. The other girls are hired primarily as dancers with background singing. The background girls dance their butts off. But again, it's not ballroom, your carriage and body movement is completely different. As far as the amount that person received, I refuse to even go read the article. And I won't be watching tonight or tomorrow night because I don't care to ever see that person again on my TV and I also don't care to see that bachelor and his chosen one. Ugh. Way to ruin DWTS for me. (Dear Producers: I know you have to scrape the barrel to get people to come on your show. Could you puhleeze skip the reality wannabe's?)

Erin looks lovely tonight. I really hope she excels at bringing her years and years of dance experience to bear here. Bruno is hysterical coaching her: "Look at your ass! Look at your ass!" My internet feed sucks tonight though. Hard to catch all the moves, but it looks good. Len says vast improvement (they show Erin's dancer sister in the audience) Bruno says they got results Carrie Ann says they moved up three notches from their first samba. 10 10 9

Len coaching Evan, who's doing the Viennese Waltz. Gah to an awful version of Piano Man. Yuck. Evan looks like he's doing some single axles LOL Bruno says fluidity and lyricism, good in hold. Carie Ann says it was beautiful, emotional, enchanted dream Len says he sometimes collapsed a bit through his standing (I think) 10 9 9

Nicole and Derek rhumba, coached by Carrie Ann. She wants to see a real moment, not worrying so much about technique. Nicole wants to let go and live the dance. Dancing to a terrible version of lady in red. That Nicole is one flexible young woman. OMG the ending of it was WOWEE Carrie Ann says the only way it could be better was to be vulnerable and she thought it was mesmerizing, but she saw the lift at the end! Len says it was subtle but he felt a lack of confidence in part. She should have settled more into her hips Bruno says errrrrroticism, sensuality, woven into extreme beauty, etc. 9 9 10 So after one round, Erin is in the lead. Good for her. I hoped she'd be able to use her years of dance experience to her advantage. [Take THAT Mrs Hasselbeck!]

OK, this freestyle Erin is doing is totally corny IMO. Now they're rolling around on a bed ferpetes sake and Erin seems incapable of extending her leg. Doesn't matter because the crowd is on their feet and Erin and Maks are in bed. For some reason this makes Erin's dancer sister smile. Len says emotion and commotion. He liked it but didn't love it. Bruno says you took a big risk and some of the steps were incredible. Carrie Ann says this was a huge risk and there was a stumble in the bed on the spin etc. 9 8 9

um Costa, why aren't you watching tonight? Tonight is only the Final 3 couples. So to those who are watching...is it me or is there something flat/missing from this year's Finale. It just doesn't seem as big a deal as usual on the show. Also the dancing doesn't seem cranked up to another level so far. BTW, I wanted to like Erin taking a risk, but they spent more time rolling on the bed than dancing IMHO

I think they Evan and Anna should have consulted with Derek about Footloose. I didn't like it at all. I didn't see Evan connect with the audience at all...even worse than usual. Well IMHO it's now Nicole's to lose!

Evan and Anna. Holy moley Evan's speaking voice epitomizes monotone. Anna cries because she's a little bit freaked out. Commercial break and here comes Bobby Newberry, who's going to help them mesh their styles and resolve their differences by virtue of his bleached hair. They make the brave artistic decision to dance to the theme from Footloose because we really don't hear enough Kenny Loggins these days. White shoes are not a great choice for Evan. Bruno says you went demented! I don't know if I was watching Footloose or Screw Loose! Not enough precision Carrie Ann says that was ODD. When you do side by side, you have to match. Len says it wasn't really fish nor fowl. It wasn't what I wanted to see, that's for sure. 8 8 8

Nicole was slated to win since week 1. It's made this season kind of dull and really predictable. Hoping for a better season next year. It's kind of dull when someone is so much better than the rest... from the very start. They got a 10 in what? Week 2? 3?

yeah but I think so many feel that way Alliet that if any of the other couples came out and did a really good dance, I think they'd have had a good shot at upsetting Nicole. I think the perception of her can backfire. And maybe it's just me, but the dances she and Derek did have been SOOOO good, and such fun, that I've really enjoyed watching them. I still say that DWTS boils down to the freestyle. I can't think of any year that the person who wins the freestyle doesn't win. Just ask Gilles, etc

Lurk, I will be shocked if Nicole doesn't win this thing. We've watched all season, as usual, but it was a really dull one. Roll on next season (and BB lol).

I peeked in to see spoilers and was expecting it to only be half way through! Is it really only an hour long finale!? I guess so! I was hoping for some 10 10 10s! Maybe Nicole and Derek's freestyle....?

I have to say that the cohost looks lovely tonight. Her hair is definitely on point and she's got the girls going on. Now Nicole and Derek. Non stop high octane from start to finish says Derek. Derek says he's pushing himself to the limit and he wants to do good routines for Nicole. Nicole wants to see everybody dancing! Dancing to a lame version of A Little Less Conversation taken at a breakneck speed. Stupid internet feed is breaking up. Looks like they used some quickstep moves there. Now in new costumes. Looked like Derek or Nicole had a hard time with that one lift at the end. Carrie Ann says Nicole and Derek it was fantastic. Slipped on that last lift. Len says saw lindy hop, salsa, quickstep, jive. I saw entertainment Bruno says there was a slip at the end but it was because what you tried to do has never been done. Technically superb (but there was a slip at the end AND it was technically superb? Contradiction, no?) 9 9 9
