Several of the 'celebrities' got frustrated with their pros last night. Why only focus on Kate? Texannie, I was thinking the exact same thing. Additionally, a few of the pros got frustrated with their students too, so Kate isn't the only one who elicits frustration from an instructor. It's a tense and stressful situation on both parts. I don't see any faults there. For those who are liked it's excusable, but for those who are disliked then it's inexcusable. I just think people have their minds made up. They like who they like, and hate who they hate, and nothing can or will change that.

Speaking of being glib, the second most troubling thing to me last night was that ad for the upcoming Ton Cruise film. Did it look to anyone else like an even higher budget version of the Bourne films? And I love the Bourne films, but I so don't want to see TC in a role like that.

Huk, if they fast-foward, then Kate wouldn't be able to be "discussed" unendingly in the DWTS thread. LOL

I hope we don't get "shocked" tonight and Evan leaves.

Kate is not a performer, has never had to take direction. This may in fact be hard on her and she's trying her best to do her best. Obviously she's not good, and she knows that. I am sure that makes it hard on Tony, too.

This season are the bottom two dancing again so the judges can decide, or is the lowest person overall going?

I hope so Kitt. I'd like to see the judges determine who of the bottom two go home and not the voters. But I live in dream land lol

Tom is trying to create drama and get more viewers. Of course if he put "No surprise" then less people are going to tune in over 'other' shows.

Because I do respect Kate as a mom and she partnered with one of my fave pros, I was rooting for her to succeed. At this point it would be great for them to turn this around, because I am a huge fan of Tony's and he lights up my screen. But if she's campaigning to get Tony fired because she's in over her head, then she's way out of line, and I want her gone and not driving him round the bend. This isn't her show. She's a guest on it. But like I said, maybe they can turn this around. Someone upthread said something about a possible injury. If TONY somehow is 'unable' to continue... I wonder who would willingly step up to the plate to replace him for the rest of the season with her. Frankly I can't see any of the available male pros wanting to take this difficult woman on.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nicole is in the bottom two. I think it would be combo of people thinking she was safe and people feeling like she is a ringer.

Yeah Annie, that's what I'm guessing too. Certainly lots of drama this year, right out of the gate. FWIW, my fave Star this season is Niecy. She just warms my heart, she's so joyful and fun, even though I'd never heard of her before last week.

I would hate Nicole to go. She might be a little over qualified, but we've had worse. She's so beautiful to watch. Plus I like Derek . I'm thinking Evan too. He was a bit gangly last night and isn't vibrant(?) enough to draw people in to vote for him. However I thought he did pretty well last week. I'm hoping Aiden - he was neither good nor pleasant, despite his pretty face.

I'm afraid Evan is going. I hope I'm wrong.

The danceoff won't be until later in the season IIRC... But just for a perspective, here are only the judges score percentages:
| approx judge% | Nicole | 12.35 | Evan | 10.95 | Erin | 10.26 | Pamela | 10.02 | Jake | 9.32 | Niecy | 9.09 | Shannen | 8.85 | Aiden | 7.93 | Chad | 7.93 | Kate | 7.23 | Buzz | 6.07 | | 100.00 | | I'd seriously doubt one of the top 4 ends up in the overall bottom 2, if only because the % difference is so great between them and the bottom 4. However, I could see one of the middle 3 end up in the bottom 2 because of fan factor (most likely Niecy, as she's probably in the bottom 3 when it comes to built-in fanbase. Chad and Kate will get a lot more votes than average, so that probably saves them for now. Tom's tweet I think says the bottom 2 in judges scoring (Kate and Buzz) aren't the overall bottom two- at least one of them is safe (probably Kate). I still predict Aiden goes tonight, but Buzz, Niecy, or maybe even Jake wouldn't shock me.

Here's the thing about the dance off: On some results nights, the two couples with the lowest combined score from judges and viewer votes will compete in a "Dance Off." Their original set of judges scores will be tossed out and they will perform the same routine again for a new set of judges scores. The new set of scores will be combined with their viewer votes and the couple with the lowest combined total will be eliminated. I do think they did that early on last season, not later. Sounds like we might need it tonight.

At one point things got so bad that Kate demanded that the shows producers fire Tony and get her a new partner. Maybe it was right after he declared that he quit. I bet producers discussed the consequences of that course of action pretty quickly.

This seems more fair to me. Your idea I mean Kitt. I like it and it's not so random. Gives those in the middle a chance to dance for us a bit more and improve.

I thought that the sad thing about Kate's dancing was that technically it was fine but between the look of terror on her face and her frozen movements it just came off as bizarre. I think if she would relax & have fun, she would be great. She's just such a perfectionist she can't do that.

Slinky, good point. IF that story is even true. I'm skeptical of "inside unnamed sources".
