Wilson, When I saw who had the encore, I thought of your earlier post and 'knew' Erin would not be eliminated! Good Call!

Im surprised Chad left instead of Evan. I thought Chad would have a bigger fan base and I am pretty sure Cheryl's is bigger than Anna's. Nicole for the win!

I think Erin benefits from having Max as her partner.

But if it is cool for Erin to have learned a different genre and been on a dance team, then to me it is also cool for Nicole and Evan.. have never heard that they had ballroom training.. could be wrong, of course. Chad was definitely the one to go but I'll miss his joy and I don't really care for Erin. Maks is not a plus for me since I don't like him either, but I agree he has the talent to bring out the talent in Erin and they are a good match.

LoL I finally got around to watching it, since I decided to fully watch Idol last night. I actually found the hometown pro segments and seeing their parents very interesting. When they showed Miley Cyrus my very first thought was "why is she wearing a dead bird?" Then she same out to do her number and I realized "OH she is playing a dead bird." And she squawked and stumbled her way through it with her hair going nutz. And if you are going to lip synch shouldn't the track be made to sound good?? Clearly I though it was scary bad (not that I'm a fan of hers in any way lol). But she came across as desperate to change her image and I thought she looked like an old SNL skit (back when they were good) of a bad Britney Spears. I can see her losing her old fans and can't fathom what new ones she would pick up. And if she keeps aging herself at this rate, she is going to be 40 by next year! One last comment...I thought it so unfair to pit a dance team that is a month old against one that sounds like the biggest, longest and most successful. Impossible situation and if they didn't have equal teams to match up, why do the contest? Oh wait forgot one thing...sorry but by far the worst Create-a-dance in DWTS history. Not one thing was good about it from the stars to the scary costume to the dancing. I would have enjoyed it more if they reran Derek and Julianne on the piano!!

I agree that the create-a-dance was a disappointment. And I really like Joey the-Fat-one (LOL!) but that number did nothing for me. The dance team thing was unfair, but do the teams actually 'win' anything? Or is it just bragging rights? Every time they showed Miley Cyrus before she performed in those 'before the commercial segments' she looked like she was mad at the world, and didn't want to be there. The song was ok, started out a little shaky, but then improved. She's trying way too hard to change her image, though. The world does NOT need another Britney!

Sounds like I haven't missed much, not seeing the results shows this season. I do have them on the upstairs DVR but I also have quite a bit of several shows.. whole season on Lost not yet watched, last quarter of Grey's and PP and other shows .. which would come ahead of these results shows.

Can't stand Miley. She is such a Britney wannabe and not that great a singer. I think the right person went home. I don't think Nicole should win because of her background in dancing. Not fair! Most improved: Erin!

The Miley Cyrus performance just left me sad, and I never really cared that much about her career in the first place. I just felt sad because I know how much she has meant to the little girls, and once again the entertainment industry has taken a young girl and turned her into another cookie cutter sex object. My initial reaction was "Walt Disney would've never let this happen." My final reaction was "Well, that's a shame. Next." The Joey/Melissa dance was amusing enough, but just seemed like he was having to drag her in a few places. Kind of looked like she was going back to her ballet habits when the dance called for more snap. He had enough energy for the both of them, though. Here's hoping next season they don't have so many ringers in the mix at the same time. It takes the fun out of the show. This season has been a bit of a sleeper for me because I haven't been able to get truly excited about the contestants. Watching a trained dancer compete in a dance contest for beginners just isn't that fun for me. It's like having Celine Dion compete in a karaoke contest and saying she'll make it fair by singing a song from a different genre. Sure the performances may be great, but if that's all I cared about I'd only tune in for the results shows to watch the pros dance. Now I'm having trouble caring which one of them wins.

I watched Miley, and while I don't have a big HD TV, it didn't appear to me she was lip syncing, so I guess she did a pretty good job of it. It makes me sad too when I see her trying to leap into adulthood this way. She has a huge little girl following and I think she has a certain level of appeal. I don't think it's necessary for her to take such a drastic approach to changing her image. I have to wonder what her "people" think of this -- her manager, publicist, marketing crew, etc. What demographic is she going after, because she seems to be leaving the little girl one, the one that made her wealthy, in the dust.

There was so much wrong with Miley's performance. It's a shame that a girl so young would try so blatantly and grotesquely to change her image so rapidly. It's disappointing. I only wish she would wake up before she makes some irrevocable mistake(s). I would have thought after her pole-dancing debacle on the Teen Choice Awards (or whatever show that was) would've awakened her to the big risk she was taking by dancing and dressing provocatively. The girl has had a wholesome image and I hate to see her throw away her reputation and risk losing her fan-base in this way.

Well, she's been heading down this path for over a year it seems. Remember the photo shoot she did wearing a sheet and posing with her dad in a way that raised eyebrows as it looked kind of incestuous. I find nothing appealing about her. She comes across as hick-y and low class IMO. But I will say--the girl has a great pair of gams on her.

But Jenny, Erin has been dancing as long, if not longer, than Nicole. So should Nicole be penalized because she learned better/faster?? Plus while Nicole has had tons of dancing background, far as I know she never had any ballroom experience. So far as I'm concerned, if she does the best Freestyle, she has my votes. I like Erin a lot too, but she just hasn't entertained me as much. It's how I felt last year. Mya was technically the better dancer, but Donny entertained me FAR more the entire series and blew everyone out of the water for the Freestyle. So for me the overall entertainment factor is KEY. It's why I don't like Anna and Evan more. I really like Anna and feel they have given her some mighty lousy partners over the years, and I wanted to love him, but BLAH! I can't believe they are forcing us to watch more Jake & Vienna. Do they think we care? Does anyone?? Seriously.

i am all about who entertains me too and could not care less if someone has a 'dance background' or not, but just because someone learned to dance at the age of 10 doesn't mean they have the same experience as someone who learned to dance at the same age. has Erin worked as a dancer/singer like Nicole?

Definately a valid point Tex. Don't think there is much sideline dancing lol. That said, don't the Pussycat Dolls mostly sing, prance and do sexy poses? The times I saw them, I don't recall seeing any dazzling choreography lolol
