I have thought Natalie Coughlin is rather stiff and I think her marks have been fair. But that's just my opinion.

I find it interesting that the models are usually the worst dancers. In an industry where you need to be aware of your body, they seem to completely lose awareness of their feet! And hips! So odd.

Costa - I thought the same thing. I wonder why that is? Although, Joanna is a 'supermodel' (I guess?) and she's doing pretty good. (or maybe she just has the right partner in Derek?)

Perhaps it is because they are told how to use their body in photoshoots? And so many times they are almost expressionless?

I dont think Joanna is in the same league as real supermodels. Kathy, Christy, Beverly, etc look like amazons compared to her plus her boobs are way to big for a supermodel. She may model but I would think she is more of a Maxim type model

From what I've read Joanna is more of a men's magazine model (Maxim, Playboy and such). She had a rough time with the jive, but if they'd had that extra day she probably would've pulled off another performance like she did in week one. Seeing how so many of them struggled with the shorter week, I'm all the more impressed with Mya and Aaron. I just don't understand why Chuck wasn't in the bottom two. He gave the worst performance and doesn't seem to have what it takes to catch up with the rest. He must have a fan base I was unaware of. It seems like the older dancers are generally given the least likely contenders. Tony keeps getting the older women while Derek keeps getting young women who are just a couple of training sessions away from dancing like a pro. Yeah, he's also a great choreographer, but all the more reason to balance it out by giving him a challenging partner. Ah, what am I complaining about? I'm enjoying the season anyway.

There's been another injury except this time it's a pro. http://www.popeater.com/2009/09/29/lacey-schwimmer-injured/?icid=main|compaq-laptop|dl7|link6|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.popeater.com%2F2009%2F09%2F29%2Flacey-schwimmer-injured%2F

Stem Shock Therapy sounds painful! Hopefully she can pull it off.. I guess she could choreograph and have her partner practice with another pro while she watches and then just practice to pull it together. Didn't Derek have an injury that knocked him out a week one season? No, it was Julianne.. Edyta had to take over for her for two weeks and dance with Cody weeks 7 and 8 and then Julianne returned. They made it to fourth place. Season 7.

I love Chelsia and Lacey Pamy, if you were responding to my post, I wasn't talking about them, although I'm not a huge fan of Lacey's. She's doing fine this year. I was talking about the gal with the red hair and a couple of the new guy professionals. Maybe they'll grow on me, but right now, nothing special. Roxip, I think Natlie moves very nicely. She does sometimes freeze in the middle of the dance, but she was just as good as Aaron Carter in her fast dance, yet she got much lower marks. Is it just me, or do the women have to be almost better than the men to get decent marks? It seems the professional women take some of the heat off the celebrity men. While some celebrities are great and Aaron did well this week, some men just shuffle around and the judges say how great they are; whereas if a woman does that, the scores are low. Rosem stated: Although, Joanna is a 'supermodel' (I guess?) and she's doing pretty good. (or maybe she just has the right partner in Derek?) Rosem, could be she's got the right partner. Even though I do think the women have to perform better, Derek could make any woman look good. He is such a fantastic dance AND choreographer...simply amazing.

That injury to Lacey happened before Monday's show, so she did very well with it. It'll be interesting to see how practice goes this week.

Cricket, the point you make about men vs women has been my same complaint, I always wished they would have to winners, a man and a woman.

I've always thought the premise of pitting men against women on this show was wrong. Men provide the framework for a woman... the woman is almost always who you look at. While men do need to be able to dance, most of the fancy stuff (especially turns) are performed by women. So yes, I think the women stars have to be better than the men. The women pros can cover a multitude of sins with the male stars, but it's harder for a male pro to cover the fact that a female lost her center or can't spin.

From ETONLINE: In an interview with ET airing Friday night, Jon Gosselin is apologizing to his estranged wife Kate. He tells ET's Mary Hart that if he has one thing to say to Kate, it would be: "Kate, I just want to apologize, you know for my actions. You know, I'm sorry, you know, that I was an avoider and I didn't communicate properly. And now I have to take initiative, let's both go together, let's both mediate this thing out." He also tells ET he plans to apologize to Kate face-to-face. Jon goes on to explain to Mary that he's apologized to his eight children as well: "I've apologized to them, meaning you know, I'm sorry that I can't be here all the time." He goes on to say, "I mean they're [aged] 5 and 8, but they understand tabloids, they understand paparazzi, they understand all that stuff. They know things that are always printed are not truth. ... They are media trained themselves, but when the time is right as a father I'll decide what I'm going to do with my kids, apologizing whys and what's right to say. I mean, that's why I am getting counseling and that's why I have a great team because I don't really know what to say to them that won't hurt them or harm them in any way."

Lacey & Mark up 1st - pretty good - judges gave them 6,6,6 Derek & his model partner up 2nd - Derek is soooo good but that partner is stiff & not fun to watch. judges gave them 7,8,8 (I don't see the 8's for the model's part & isn't that who they're supposed to be judging?)

Has Len lost it ???????? Mya & Dimitry 10 7 10 Len said there was too much going on in the dance -- should have been simpler.

Len has something against Mya and Dimitry. This is not the first time he has scored them so harshly compared to Carrie Ann and Bruno. I wish I could have seen it, but my stupid TiVO decided that was the perfect time to freeze up and need to be reset.

Melissa and Mark 6 6 7 I found the huge deep waves in Melissa's hair around her face very distracting. NOT attractive. Msb, hopefully you'll be able to see it tomorrow night.
