Cricket, the judges' request on results night is the couple they want to repeat their dance from the night before.

Thank you, Colordeagua. Since the voting is over, why would they do this? They can't change their marks, can they?

Is this just to reward a particularly good performance the night before?

I think Louie is fallin in love with Chelsie. I thought Aaron was gay. I agree with Sher, barf. How does she go from hot manly man Max to young boy Aaron?

Sher, i had heard that too. i also read that max had a crush on her for 'several years' and was really quite in love with her. that she really seemed to love the idea of being engaged but never wanted to plan a wedding.

Cricket, you could say it's a reward -- not necessarily for best performance, e.g. Chuck and Anna. Judges (Len) said it was most entertaining (?).

Aaron and Debi annoy me greatly. Sabrina too, so I won't be watching any design a dances.

Two Queen Latifah events for me this week.. (I happened to finally get to watch The Secret Life of Bees where I loved the performances by Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson).

I think Mya can be wonderful but honestly don't think those 10's were deserved and actually could hurt her.. overconfidence isn't good, or.. trying to live up to early high scores. Still think she will win if she stays on track with her performances and the judges remain so positive. And I'd rather see her win than Aaron and Donny has actually disappointed me with that attention hogging last night.

Cheryl has built up a fan base because of her attitude. She doesn't have the cockiness (or poutiness) of Karina, and she actually works to let her pro shine (unlike Edyta, who often choreographs dances to show off herself).

WRT Karina, Maks has said that she was more interested in fame, and staying in the limelight, than wanting to settle down and get married. And if Karina is hooking up with Aaron, then I like her even less. For pete's sake, she seems to be trolling the entire DWTS cast (pro and star) for her hook-ups. Kinda disgusting actually. (I mean, would YOU tap that? Knowing how she goes thru peeps? A one nighter maybe, but not a relationship.)

Never thought I'd say this, cuz I don't like his uber-macho persona, but this season I really feel bad for Maks. He can't seem to catch a break. He and his partner are booted early, although he's probably relieved he doesn't have to be on set all the time watching Karina (who CLEARLY broke his heart) flirting shamelessly with Aaron, who looks too young for her btw. What are their ages? Plus Maks got stuck with Debi, who was hopeless as a dancer. A nice gal, but too stiff and awkward and didn't, pardon the pun, jive with his personality. He just looks like a whipped dog lately. I hope he gets over Karina soon and gets his emotional equilibrium back.

I just can't see her with Aaron, he's too young looking and acting. My feeling is either it's pure rumour or she's flirting with him to get back at Maks. I just can't believe she'd actually fall for him with his maturity level.

TV Query: Where'd the 'Dancing with the Stars' chimp go?

http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2009/10/tv-query-whered-the-dancing-with-the-stars-chimp-go.html

Question: Wasn't there supposed to be a chimpanzee on "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday?

Answer: Yep, but PETA persuaded the show's producers not to use the segment. The show announced Monday that a chimpanzee would appear on Tuesday's results show to help predict the winner of this season's competition.

[Producer Conrad Greene voluntarily removed the segment and replaced with a young child choosing instead of the chimp.]

THIS IS SOMEONE'S RESPONSE AT THE ZAP2IT website that explains some of my own feelings on the subject:
I've been a fan of DWTS since the very first season and I was very disappointed when I heard on Monday that the Tuesday results show would include a chimpanzee. Most people don't realize that those cute/funny apes they see on tv or in the movies have been taken away from their mothers to be taught to perform. After just a few "profitable" years, they are too big and difficult to manage and many end up in very sad circumstances - and they can live into their 50s. So thank you, Conrad Greene, for doing the right thing. Maybe others in show business will learn from your example.

=========
My addendum note:
I have been trying to figure out how to write about this, and have had trouble figuring out how to do it in short form; the link above helps explain.

My heart fell Monday night when I heard the chimp piece promoted. A woman here in Connecticut lost her sight, hands and face in a pet chimp attack just this past year. The chimp also lost his life. It is such a sad sad story that keeps getting replicated too many times. I myself always thought chimps were cute little furry creatures until I had my own revelation maybe 30 years ago when my thumb was almost bitten off by a maturing chimpanzee whom friends had raised as a pet. It was then that I became educated that most of the performing chimps we see are of young age because at sexual maturity they become unmanageable. They are incredibly strong and live long lives and grow to tremendous size.
As a "Save the chimps" website mentions
http://www.savethechimps.org/about-us.aspx
they become excess baggage once they reach maturity. Any media appearance by a cute young chimp is apt to create both (1) a desire to adopt a young chimp, leading to sad consequences later and (2) a market for young performing chimps, who will be used and then "discarded" to live out their lives in sad circumstances--or at the few chimp rescue facilities if they are lucky (that's where Michael Jackson's chimp Bubbles is now).
After my own personal experience, and research on the subject, I now no longer even buy birthday cards featuring photos of cute chimps in birthday hats. Every little step like this is reducing the market for chimps and their exploitation.

Until my thumb was almost taken off by a chimpanzee, I myself had blinders on about chimpanzees and their strength and exploitation. I want to share with others so that they don't have to learn the hard way: save the chimps and save people's lives too.

I am so grateful that the producer removed the segment. He also said he would be more careful in the future.

And though neither Aaron nor Karina spoke with the press after Monday night’s performance, Maks, whose engagement to Karina ended only weeks before the beginning of the current season, did offer the following cryptic statement about those pesky romance rumors: “All the other crap — it’s their life and now, this morning, has nothing to do with mine so ‘Mazel Tov!’ to them and whatever.”

Thx for the Link Rosem.

I pick totally lame music. The lambada needs a really HOT song. I also wonder if they'll stick closer to it's Brazilian origins with the music, or totally blow it.

I love love LOVE the lambada!!!

ETA: I'm outta town, so if anyone can post a You Tube vid next week of whomever's got the hot lambada, you'll be my hero! Hint hin!

Heard recently that ABC / TPTB thought Tom Delay would be a big draw for DWTS. Guess not. Ratings / viewers are down appreciably this season.

I'm not as enthused about it as I usually am, but by no means would I not watch DWTS. Don't know why I'm not. I miss Cheryl and / or Julianne and a really good partner, but you can't have that every season.

that new girl is boring, Julianne brought such a spark and upbeat spirit to the show. I will be surprised to see Anna back next season.

I would love to see Mel B as one of the pro women, she is good enough and it might be fun to switch it up a bit.

I miss Julianne as well. She added so much spirit to the show.

I think part of the problem is that they may be going to the well a bit too often and burning out. That first week for example was five hours of programming. I just don't have time to devote five hours to a single show. Plus they were just on last spring and now they have So You Think You Can Dance back competing for viewers as well. They are burning it out and it's a shame.

Kudos to FOX for not trying to air American Idol twice a year.

Yes, they are airing these dance shows too often. They were great summer filler, but now we are back into prime time fall with Survivor and TAR and FlashForward and other new shows, so I'm not all that interested in the dance shows. Shame too as I'm a big Donnie fan!

I'm pretty sure that Fox would LOVE to air American Idol several times a year...but after its first season Simon Cowell had it stipulated in his contract that they would only air it once a year...which probably is the smartest move he ever made.

Don't ask me why I remember stuff like this.

And on that same note...I haven't watched a single episode of SWTYCD (which I watched religiously all summer) so far this fall...I have tivo'd it and mean to get to it but it kind of falls short on my "must watch tv" - wish they had left it as a summer show only.
