I thought Donny should have gone home instead of Joanna. Maybe her nastiness on Superstars came back to haunt her.

I am very happy for Kelly though. I think she deserves it. She has come the furthest and I enjoy watching her more than any of them.

I agree, that it's absurd, but I'm kinda sneaky-glad. Joanna wasn't my fave, and became less so, when Hef was cheering her on. Did she used to be one of his, uh, friends?

I think Donny's huge fanbase was why Joanna went home. I think that her fanbase is basically those who vote because Derek is the pro, and it wasn't big enough to overcome the strength of Donny's fanbase.

Joanna was on the cover of Playgirl in July 2005 and is going to be on the cover again for this December.

Keldogg, you may be right. I have to admit that before this competition, I didn't even know who Joanna was! Kelly was definitely surprised and shocked that she is staying. Did you catch the look on her face when it was announced?! Even SHE knows her time should be up.

I think her decision to do playboy again may have had a negative effect. I think there is a good chance that Kelly could win the whole thing because she has a huge fan base now. I also think that the winner of the show isn't necessarily always the best dancer but sometimes the person who worked the hardest and improved the most.

I totally want to vote for Kelly in a kind of VFTW thing, but after last night, I'm not even sure Kelly is worse than Donny. I hope Derek gets a chance to relax for a bit now. He's given us some amazing moments this season.

I'm with Chief. I wanted Kelly and Donny to stay as long as possible, but their time has come and Joanna has done better than both of them in the competition. I'm going to so miss watching Derek. He is such a fantastic dancer and his choreography is awesome. Kitt, I just saw the very end of the show and when I saw who was eliminated, I also expressed concern that Kelly might win this thing. While she is okay to watch, her dancing isn't as good as Mya's by far and wasn't as good as Joanne's. If Kelly does win, she'll have Carrie Anne to thank, who has acted as if Kelly was the greatest dancer of all time when she made her comments after Kelly danced.

Why does everyone keep saying how much Kelly has improved? She started out dancing about the same as she has now..pretty good; had one bad week and has done fine since then; however, I haven't seen a huge improvement. I've seen a decent dancer who has worked hard, but she'll never be the best dancer. When she's doing the fast dances, she kind of hops around, rather than the sharp moves needed and isn't technically that great. I guess I'm confused about this so improved thing, because I thought she was always decent to good, but not brilliant throughout the show.

I don't think anything Joanna did or didn't do had a thing to do with eviction tonight. I think Donny's fan base is carrying him through. I thought he did a lousy job last night, and I've not really seen how "great" he is. I'm sorry to hear Joanna is leaving. She did a heckuva lot better than Donny last night. Her waltz was just beautiful. I disagree that Carrie Ann thinks Kelly is the greatest dancer of all time. I think Carrie Ann sees the pure joy in Kelly and responds to that. It's much harder to see or feel from this side off the TV screen, but I think Kelly just has a pureness to her enjoyment that is infectious. That said, if this wasn't a popularity contest, then the best dancer would win. But it IS a popularity contest, as evidenced by Donny staying and Joanna leaving. Talent doesn't have much to do with it, other than the scores from the judges.

The only way I can explain why I prefer Kelly over Joanna or Donny, is that Kelly makes me smile when she dances. The other two never did that for me. It's kind of like the other two looked at the dancing as a job to do. It felt to me that Kelly looked at the dancing as something exciting to do. She is not technically the best dancer, but she was the one I enjoyed watching the most.

That's why I said earlier that it's her joie de vrie. It's infectious!

I do think Kelly has improved. Part of it is her confidence. She was very nervous and worried about her body image in the beginning. Each week she believes in herself a little more. I agree with Costa that there is a pureness to her and when she does something well that she didn't originally think she could do her joy is radiant. I smile the whole time Kelly is dancing. They say it's America's favorite dancer not America's best dancer. Kelly is my favorite. I do feel bad that Joanna went. She was fabulous last night. I enjoy watching her more than Mya. Not sure why. I don't get the Donny thing. I thought he was kind of cheesy last night and he messed up quite a bit. I don't get all the Osmond love and their giant fan base.

Yay! I'm just glad Donny stayed. He entertains me, and that's why I vote for him. I'm happy with him in the finals. I don't need him to win. P.S. I love the BeeGees!

I was so happy Kelly and Donny both stayed..yay! I don't think having Hef there to root on Joanna helped her any.

Ya - what Skydiver6 said. I did enjoy watching Joanna dance. I think Derek is an excellent choreographer and he was to create the best dances to make her shine. Kelly grew on me fast and furious after the first week. When she smiles she does light up the room -- and she makes me smile too. She may not be the most talented or the best dancer, but she is the one who will get my votes.

sorry to see her go, she was most improved. She is beautiful and I loved her dancing last night. Also sorry to see Derek go, I adore his dancing. Kelly is the 2nd most improved so I want her to win now Keldog, I feel the same, she makes me smile and I get so happy for her.

If I didn't know any better, I'd suggest that a lot of posts here indicate some are are rooting for the "underdogs" on purpose. Kelly is a lovely young woman, but by no means should she win this competition. This IS a dancing competition, if I'm not mistaken. So voting to keep someone in just for the "I like" factor, is totally not right. Otherwise, why go through the trouble of having judges assign scores each week? If that isn't being taken into account, then why not just have the contestants walk out on stage and STAND there and do nothing? It just sounds to me like the people who really deserve the win will be robbed after all that hard work, just so a fan favorite can squeak through.
