I would have been fine with either Kate or Aiden leaving, so not sorry to see Aiden go.

It shows how little this show is about good dancing. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It is what it is and the whole object of this show is entertainment and it is obvious that it is entertaining vast numbers of people. I have to admit that I am watching.

I think it has been that way most seasons.. and some people who were bad went deeper into their season.. of course there are fewer dancers this year..

I think it's more than that Jimmer. As someone above said, it's fun for some people to watch the dancers develop over time. I don't need to watch someone who comes to the show already dancing 100 times better than I could ever dream of. And all of the negative talk of Kate just spurs me on, to be honest. The only way she survived the first elimination was her fan base. She has definitely made some improvements, but she's clearly never going to be pleasant to watch. If she goes next week, so be it. My life doesn't change one iota no matter who stays or who goes.

My mom just called. She's never watched Kate and Jon + 8. She wanted to know who was kicked off, when I told her who she said "So that Kate Woman is still there? Yuck." Too bad my mom doesn't vote!!

The problem for all of us that are on the Free Tony team is that we don't get to vote against a couple. We are splitting our votes on the remaining couples and the Keep Tony Captive group have that block of votes.

Right. As the couples dwindle and the votes get more concentrated, the deed will eventually be done and Tony will be free.

I think Kate has a lot of fans from her show, and people like me, who don't have cable, only know about all the antics of her husband, which makes us tend to be more sympathetic towards her. She's bringing home the bacon for that large family. I've got to say that she really does just clomp around and the dresses they've put her in are just so wrong for her figure. No votes from me.

I tend to think that its a combination of all the above. There's the GO KATE fans than enjoy her and voting for her....then you have the GO AWAY KATE voters that are secretly voting for her because they love the train wreck and then there's the Lets Just See How Bad It Can Get block of Voters. and if I voted I would prolly fall in the 3rd category. All 3 groups are outweighing the Non Kate Voters...

Caught the end of the show and was sorry to see Aiden and Edyta go. I would have liked to see him go farther. I think he could have danced well with more practice. I'm glad that Chad and Erin are safe.

Goodbye Aiden. I will surely miss the eye candy that is you satisfying my sweet tooth every week.

Right now, I think there are three tiers: Nicole and Evan Erin,Chad,Pam Jake,Niecy,Kate (you could argue Jake could be in the middle tier) Right now, the only think that'd shock me is if Nicole or Evan go the next few weeks. Everyone else has issues with either dancing (they may have peaked) or fanbases (either it's not there or may not be strong enough), or both. It all depends on the night someone has- but the danger isn't having a bad night, but nearly a mediocre one- not bad enough for your fanbase to think you're in danger, but not good enough to overcome other people's fanbases if THEY have a bad night...

You'd think I'd be rooting for home boy Evan. Not necessarily. Go, Pam & Damian and Erin & Maks!

I imagine that Tony is willing to 'suffer' through and doesn't necessarily want to be 'freed' is part of the pros pay is tied into how long they stay. Wilson, i think your tiers are spot on.

I'm glad to hear Kate survived. She's doing this for the kids so they'd be heart broken if she got voted out and was forced to spend time with them away from the limelight. Luckily, they've got a mother who refuses to let that happen.

Yeah- out of the 2nd tier right now I think the order is just as I have it- Erin and Chad are probably pretty close together, and Pam is a little behind them. In the 3rd tier, it's Jake in front, then Niecy, then Kate. Pam is in the 2nd tier because she got an early scare- that woke up her fans (and she's improved more than Jake IMO). If I had to call it now- final three are Nicole, Evan, and Chad. If Erin stays consistent and perhaps improve a little, she's got a good chance of getting there (the "showmance" rumors don't hurt either). Pam and Jake are long shots- Pam has a better chance than Jake. Niecy and Kate have little chance (Kate's fans can only get her so far before the judges scores catch up with them- especially if she winds up in a dance-off. I just don't think Niecy has a big enough fanbase).

Kate's dancing is honestly improving. She has worked hard to overcome her complete inability to dance. I've enjoyed seeing her improve over the weeks. It's impossibly unfair to compare the skill of an untrained dancer (Kate) to that of someone like a professional athlete (Evan) who has probably had other dance training and who already has an incredible sense of musicality and who has overcome his nervousness after years of performing before a live audience. I love seeing Evan perform, too, but if I were voting, I would throw some votes Kate's way.

I am sick to death of seeing Kate Gosselin everywhere I look but would be willing to give her one vote based on her slight improvement if I were remotely entertained during her dances but I haven't been. The other night she had such a vacant look through out the majority of the dance. Plus based on what they have shown of her during rehearsals it doesn't even seem like she is enjoying herself at all. I can't imagine what she will do when she has to learn 2 dances.

It doesn't matter what the odds are on Kate or Pam. The producers see $$$$ signs with these two and that's why they are usually the last couples to dance. It's all about keeping the ratings up. I'm tired of Kate's whining about her kids and I'm tired of watching Pam continuously play the "sex kitten" role. Enough already!! I'll be very happy when they are both gone!!!

Pamela Anderson has turned out to be a much better dancer than I would have imagined. I don't think she's doing badly at all. She's not a celebrity I've ever been a fan of, but she's grown on me since the beginning of this season of DWTS. I like Erin less after the last episode, based on her Debbie-downer attitude and all the pouty faces she pulled.

I see Pamela playing the sex kitten role but she is playing other roles as well. I think she is doing a good job incorporating a character in all of her dances and am impressed by that. I am also surprised by it as well. I hope she gets to the final three and if her dancing improves, as it has every week, she has as good a shot as anybody.

Pamela playing the sex kitten role (or other roles) during the dancing is one thing, but does she really have to continue the whole posturing and posing during the whole show? Watch her in the background when Brooke Burke is talking to a couple waiting for their scores. She is "working it" constantly. Then, of course, we have to watch more of it as she is listening to the judge's critiques. I would be absolutely amazed if she made it to the final 3!!! There are others that are w-a-a-a-y better than her. As I said earlier, I'll be happy when she and Kate are gone -- just my opinion.
