Using a lot of tonight's costumes for inspiration I am going to do something on the level of The Emperor's New Clothes for my entry in the dance costume design contest.

What's the deal w/the phone numbers? Bad enough they aren't saying them on the show, but I can't find them online. Do they really want us to vote??? That half second flash in the background hasn't given me enough time to put my dang reading glasses on. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR Anyone have a link by any miracle? thanks

I loved seeing Kate looking so happy at the end of the show. She really danced tonight! I think with the confidence boost she got tonight she will dance even better next week. This is why I'll keep voting for her. It's much more interesting to see someone start as a total non-dancer and watch them turn into a dancer. When you see her and Tony together at practice you can see that all the gossip of Tony hating her and them not getting along is a bunch of boloney.

All I can say, once again, is POOR Tony, She's a whiner and shamelessly trolls for votes. Who does she do the 'eye you' thing for at the beginning of each show? She says her kids are in bed when the show airs. Must be for her voters.

<<Who does she do the 'eye you' thing for at the beginning of each show?>> I assume you mean "why" not "who". I'll bet she is sending it to everyone who can't stand her. It makes people talk, whether negatively or not, it keeps her in the news. <77>

Tony pulled off a miracle with Kate. She was much improved and that dance was a delight to watch. Was it Carrie Ann who remarked on Kate's admirable determination? She was right. AND she wore a gorgeous dress - my favourite outfit this evening. The other gals's dresses were distracting.

Doesn't every person who is on a reality show where they have telephone numbers / websites / texting to vote have the contestants shamelessly ask for votes? What would be the point of competing and NOT asking for votes? Just wondering.. show hasn't started yet, here.

Re earlier post...Jake's height and being short...he is 5'10"...I wouldn't call that short. (I realize no that one here did.) I'm glad to hear that Kate's dancing improved! Good for her! Chad too! Looking forward to seeing clips of the show.

Jake looked very stiff and like he was counting in the little recap clip they showed at the end. I hope he didn't do too badly. I did hear Kate is in last place.

Loved watching tonight's show, I was especially happy to see Chad and Cheryl dance so well. I felt bad for Erin and Maks, her back pain made her very stiff and I think she could go tomorrow. I hope not but both she and Aiden are in trouble I think. Kate was very good in her posture and head turns. Bravo to her and Tony, nice to see her improving. I loved the women's gowns, especially Edyta who I hope we'll see more of despite Aiden's very stiff performance I'd like to see more of them. I'm not sure who I think should go home. Kate's improving finally so now I'm torn between her, Erin, and Aidan. I felt a bit bad for Nicole I thought the judges were harsh with her, but at least their scores didn't reflect it. She's absolutely beautiful to watch.

It was nice to see Ms Anderson do so well on her dance. She should serve as a model to middle aged women everywhere: if you take care of yourself, you, too, can be that flexible in your mid-40s! And I'm frankly amazed at the subtlety of her performances week after week, especially when some discounted her as just a Playboy model. I frankly think that her partner must be a wonderful teacher. You don't get that kind of performance from someone with absolutely no dance experience unless you know how to pull it out of her. I really felt bad for Tony. Even when his partner does marginally better, he still ends up with the lowest scores. It's sad because Tony is so good but his partner seems to have little flexibility and appears heavy-legged that she seemingly cannot extend her leg at all. The good news is that, from the package they showed, she seems to have very little self-awareness (she works hard to be a celebrity and is confounded that information about her is in tabloids? It's not that hard to figure out, dear) that she may be unaware of how badly she did. Mr Hough was charming as always, but the judges seem to want to chasten him again this week. Oh well. And Mr Ochocinco was better this week, too, and finally received scores that accurately reflected his performance. It's strange: this week, the judges seemed to score more accurately--giving out more 6s and 5s than before, whereas they had been giving out 7s and 8s like candy before this week. Or maybe I'm misremembering. I'll admit I'm not a fan of Mr Turner, but he had a nice body when he took his shirt off, so I guess that's something. I felt bad for Jake because of that little trip he had, but overall he performed much better than last week. Evan, Erin, and Niecy all bored me.

I don't see Kate doing much, if any, better. The tango dance is just better suited to her dance "style" or lack thereof as compared to other dances.

My favorites tonight were Pamela, Chad, and Evan. I also liked Nicole, and Jake's dancing on the stairs. Impressive and then he stumbled. Too bad for him. Pamela was just great to watch. Chad and Evan were also great to watch. I think Kate really improved quite a lot but is still the worst dancer of the bunch. Good for her though! Niecy, Erin, and Aiden were in the middle of the pack for me.

I think I enjoyed Chad and Cheryl most.. Pam also improved.. still don't like her. Erin seemed to really drop like a rock and looked stiff and angry. Kate was much improved but I'm thinking not enough. Aiden, not so good either. Jake, well he sure threw himself into it, but he was lucky not to turn an ankle.. I'm betting those dance shoes can be slippery devils.

So they've been teasing this all evening to make me watch the 11pm news.. Seems Pamela Anderson has some tax trouble with the State of California, to the tune of not reporting half a million in income and she owes over $100,000. So she'd better dance fast and furious. Apparently Chad says he may next give Cheryl a car, after the ring..

I don't have a problem with P. Anderson but I wish she would stop all the affectations. It is getting annoying. There was one instance where a couple was being interviewed after the dance and she was behind them on the sofa and she kept doing all these sexual kitten stuff. I don't know how to explain it, you know it when you see it I guess.

Pam is a pretty good dancer, but I can't seem to get past her "I'm too sexy" attitude. Kate is a terrible dancer and I can't seem to warm up to her. Jake is lucky he didn't break his ankle! These are just my opinions...

I know exactly what you are talking about Terolyn and I can not wait for Pamela to be eliminated. She does nothing for me. I liked Erin and Maks and thought the judges scored them harshly. They seem to be doing that with the first dancers of the night. I gave them almost all my votes. For some reason Evan and Nicole just bore me. Yes they dance well but I am not excited to see them perform. I do love watching Chad & Cheryl. I was happy that Kate did better this week. I'm not a fan of Kate or a hater. I do like watching her week to week and I hope she stays another week or two. I liked Jake on the Bachelor but I've had enough of him now. Maybe it's a good week for him to go since there is no hope it will be Pamela.

I guess I'm just not impressed with any of the male contestants this season. I gave my votes to Erin, Niecy, Pam and Kate. Yes, Kate. She showed much improvement this week, IMO, and I'd like to see her go a little further. I really really like Niecy and Erin, even though I think they had a bad night. Plus I like their partners. And I'm voting for Pam because she's the oldest (isn't she?) and I'm old too, so I can relate. She has a lot of potential. Not voting for Derek even though I like him, but he's got a 'ringer' again, and I want to see the inexperienced dancers fight it out.
