<93> My biggest surprise was that I voted tonight (home and cell so far!). I really didn't plan to. But since Aiden was so unjustly scored IMHO I just had to. Wonder if Niecy needs any votes too? Maybe I'll log on and toss her a few online ones later (after nourishment).

He WAS unjustly scored, Lurk, wasn't he? I was off googling him so didn't call in a vote. My bad.

I agree with you Hukdonreality. I'm not for or against her. I wish her success so her kids will have a good life, and not end up on the public dime. I doubt if they will get a lot of financial help from the Dad. There is absolutely no way Kate could afford all these kids on a nurses' salary, being the only wage earner. Heck, her earnings would go to the children's caregivers while she is at work.

Holly, not to mention that Ms Anderson lives about 10 miles away from where the show if filmed. She isn't leaving her poor children to fly hither and thither each week as she makes a desperate stab at maintaining her tenuous hold on a small segment of the American public.

Did it seem like the judges were trying a little too hard to pretend this is the best season ever? Carrie Ann and Bruno were particularly ridiculous in their over-scoring. Nobody should get higher than a 7 the first week, especially with this group. And if you do plan to go higher, don't give a 6 to a performance like Chad's. He was at least a 7, and they gave higher scores to people who were worse than he was. I never watched the Kate Gosselin show or went to that thread, so I have no dog in that fight. As an uninterested observer, I thought she was the absolute worst of the women. She looked terrified and awkward. The shopping cart analogy was dead on. If she stays it should only be because Buzz or Aiden went first. Those were the three weakest in my opinion. Neicy was weak also, but she brings some fun to it and I'm hoping she'll improve. Pamela Anderson was overscored. Too much hair and a lot of mistakes which apparently were missed by Carrie Ann and Bruno who were too busy watching all that hair fly around. Maybe that was the strategy. Considering she had no dance background, I'd say she did okay. Shannen was a little stiff, but it really was a complicated routine for week one and I have a feeling she'll improve as well. Not much to get excited about. Evan was graceful, but I expected that. Nicole was also slightly overscored, but I imagine she and Evan will be the two contenders at the top this season. Notice how when Bruno or one of the other judges makes a snarky comment, the audience will laugh first and then start booing? One thing that makes me happy is that nobody came out dancing like they're already a 10. The only problem with the "celeb-aquarium" is that they turn their backs to the audience so it's just a window full of spangled butts.

Sure was Holly IMHO. I really didn't understand why the votes were SOOO low and the comments so harsh. And LOL you could have just asked me about him-- would have been glad to give more details while you voted. There are some really funny YouTube All My Children Podcasts of him btw. OH and if you are feeling so inspired, there's always online voting

Kate's dress was gorgeous, but she looked like a wooden plank trying to dance. Just dreadful. I missed some of the others, but I didn't see anyone dance nearly that bad. Even Buzz looked like he was having fun, expressed joy, and that counts for a lot in my book.

I give Buzz kudos just for trying this. Sure, he was a bit stiff but at 80, at least he has an excuse for that.

Don't be mad. I voted for Kate because she did so much more than I expected. Well, I voted online and all my votes but 1 went to Kate. My browser did a snafu and I accidentally clicked on Erin for one vote.

So I had to stop watching for a while but I had it recorded and of course after all the comments I just had to go back and see for myself how Kate did. While I'm far from being her biggest fan, I don't have any problem with her being on the show. With respect to the dancing I was quite surprised. She wasn't nearly as bad as I thought she would be based on some of the reviews. She was a little stiff and nervous but she did get through it pretty good. So good for her!

LOL Brenda! Really, I hope Bachelor Jake goes home. I find him to be, well, everything about a man we should avoid, and a horrible squatty wide legged dancer.

Kate and Jake weeks 1 and 2. Either order works for me. I put most my votes to Buzz and threw a few to Aiden, even though I don't know who he is, I think he needed them. Also threw a few to Shannon, because how can I not vote for Brenda Walsh?

LOL Naja if she was YOUR fav then don't be surprised but why would I be mad at you for voting your fav? We're all entitled to enjoy who we enjoy, so I honestly don't have any problem with it, no matter how much I personally disagree w/it. It's why I think we can all have fun and respectufully disagree here. And YAYAY Holly!! Aiden is one of those folks who I not only enjoyed looking at over the years, but he's really impressed me in many interviews etc. Seems like a sincerely nice guy with no ego. Plus if you hear the way he talks about his wife and baby, it's beyond heartwarming!! But let me give you a tidbit you likely didn't come across in Googling. All My Children not long ago fired the worst head writer in the show's history who came close to totally destroying the show. He told all the characters to forget their history or how they usually are, had them all behaving nothing like they had for years (decades in many cases) and he ended up destroying most of them and having them all act like horses rears. When Aiden read how that now ex-writer planned to write him off (pure character assassination all the fans would have HATED), he not only protested, but with the full support of the exec producer he re-wrote the scenes, saving them the best he could to be true to the near decade of who the character was, not the short term mess that now mercifully gone writer hacked him into. All the fans wanted to hug him for doing this, since he refused to let the fans down as we had been over and over. Hope that makes sense. It's kinda confusing but shows what a class act he is!

I gave all my votes to Ocho Cinco. I thought that him being the first out that he wouldn't get a high score. I thought that Aiden and Jake were the worst besides Buzz. I don't think it is fair that Nicole has a lot of dancing in her shows and that is an unfair advantage just like Donny Osmond. I will be very disappointed if Kate does not go home first. But dialidol has her first. The judge's reaction to Pam Anderson was very funny but she can't dance at all and I hope that she goes home real soon. I thought that Evan did well, so I'd like Ocho Cinco or Evan to win.

I wouldn't know Niecy either, but Bonnie Hunt has had Niecy on her show a few times -- including today.

I always get Niecy confused with some girl from a housewives show call Nenee or something like that. I always see both of them on the talk shows. Now that I know which is which, I think that Nenee girl would have been fun on this show, too...LOL
