I agree that Brooke is less than acceptable. I never realized that she had such a thin voice. OMG I have become my father, complaining about people's voices.

Next week is going to be difficult to predict...who will Niecy's fans go to, if anyone? Chad is the weakest of the 4 dancing-wise, so will he have enough fans to get him into the finals?

I don't like Brooke's voice either. Her dresses don't usually suit the ballroom. Generally don't care for her hair styles. Her convos / banter with couples are mostly lame -- nothing interesting, humorous, etc.

The best thing I can say about Brooke is that she is good compared to Samantha. But all in all, she seems to just read lines with no warmth or humor from her. Hard to tell if that's what the producers want or all she is capable of. I wish they would find someone who has more personality. Drew did such a good job when he filled him. But clearly they don't want 2 male hosts. But wish they could find a female version of him lol. BTW Tish, you are definitely not alone in your feelings about Evan. He's another one that really hasn't shown much, if any, personality or emotional connection with the audience. He often bores me, even though his dancing has been pretty good. IMHO the clear final 2 should be Nicole V Erin, with Chad leaving next. Would have preferred Niecy in that slot, but clearly they are by far the weakest 2 dancers. And Tish, VERY interesting article bout Erin and that alleged apology. I felt it was totally insincere and this sure proves it. Just an act to redeem her image. Glad Erin spoke the truth. If I had any respect for EH I would have lost it lol.

Who won the dance off between the two schools? San Diego was up against Purdue... Or do we not know yet? Wasn't Brooke the host for the Rock Star shows? I liked her then, but she has a more rocker edge. I don't think she's really qualified for DWTS (but apparently, to be qualified all you have to do is be a previous competitor). I wasn't all that impressed with Drew either. (And what's her name, the Bachelorette reject? She's not qualified for being a reporter on TV either.) Whatever...

One point I meant to mention about Derek since Color got me thinking (watch out for smoke lol). I think we have seen how he has a special knack for bringing out the best in his partners. People talk as if he always gets the strongest dancers. Let's not forget Jenny Garth and Shannon Elizabeth. Neither had ANY dancing ability, and both started out far worse than some of the dancers that were eliminated earlier this season IMHO. But between being a good teacher and, as I've often mentioned IMHO the best choreographer who knew how to create a routine around their strengths, I think he took them farther then I would have predicted either would go. The change was especially dramatic with Jenny Garth. And I personally MUCH prefer when the stronger pro's get stronger partners to work with. I've hated how Maks was virtually wasted the last couple years w/weak partners. I want to see good dancing. BTW, I would have been stunned if anyone but Derek and Nicole got the encore. To me either of their dances were WAY better and far more entertaining than any of the others. I'd give Erin a solid but somewhat distant 2nd place.

ITA and I think the other thing Derek does so well is work with his partner's strengths and hide her weaknesses.

Which of the Derek-Nichole dances got the encore? I was ten minutes late getting home; turned the tv on just in time for Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice's Dance Center, thank goodness. I love that.

The charts are just my way of summarizing as the season goes along. It always is of interest to me to see how some are voted off who have higher cumulative scores than some who remain in competition, but quite often the final few do stay in the same order week after week with their cumulative score, even if they may have weeks when the order changes a bit. And I love statistics. I guess you could wonder why there are so many stats in pro baseball.. but people look at those to base their expectations of certain players.. so and so steals more bases.. and you can see that stat is used by the other team to pay more attention to that player. And certainly a player with a really high batting average may be intentionally walked. Not that these are baseball players and of course some of the scores given are pretty darned subjective and I'm convinced that if the judges really want a certain star to remain they will pump up some of the scores. Clearly to me the campaign is on to keep Erin there.. continuing to release statements about what Elisabeth said, which of course has NO bearing on Erin's dancing performance, but lots of bearing on sympathy votes.. and the statement that she must win to get back at Elisabeth. Hmm would that be a reason for me to vote for Erin if I don't think she was best.. probably not. The pros are doing a job, so I don't feel sorry for them no matter who they get, but some of the stars have been stuck with unpopular pros (Karina when she was at her eye rolling worst) or unknown/new pros (this season that happened to Pam) but they can't all get the same pro. And Maks has lost points for his partners by insisting on putting in illegal lifts.

On Niecy: I wasn't unhappy with her elimination last night. Neither she, nor Chad, are in the same league with the other three. On Brooke: She doesn't design her dresses, they provide her dresses, hair and jewelry. They are not all becoming to her, but I didn't like all of Samantha's clothes either. As for her voice, it's not so bad. I've certainly heard worse. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt as it's her first season as co-host. We'll see how she does next fall. On Melissa Rycroft: I like her segments. She's funny and they're cute. On Erin and EH: I wonder if it's not a set-up by ABC to garner more attention for the show and votes for Erin. Just saying.

I don't get why they have to have the token female co-host on this show. Or at least that is the way the role has always seemed to me. Tom Bergeron is a strong host and I just don't see the purpose for the other host. The backstage interviews seem awkward and serve no purpose. I don't mind them being interviewed after the performance, but why twice and why do they have to go backstage to hear their scores? That seems weird. I do, however, think that Melissa is doing a great job. They could get rid of the current dual host thing and just let Tom host and Melissa be more of the behind-the scenes reporter and interview people during the week's rehearsals. That seems to be a more natural fit. And I don't hate Brooke...I think she is fine. Just not necessary.

I think Niecey should be take over the female cohost role next season. She would be sassy and fun and can hold her own in terms of quips and wit with Tom. And let her pick her own costumes to show off her jiggly parts, LOL!

I loved that blue and black striped dress that Brooke wore on Monday. I think Samantha landed on her feet in hog heaven, Entertainment Tonight. She is now in London on her way to the Cannes Film Festival.

Also probably not a popular view but if Melissa becomes a regular anything on this show, I'll never watch it again. Lady, thanks! OG, Samantha has gotten really terrible reviews in her role as an ET reporter/host.

Niecy would be an excellent co-host! She'd be a natural, and yes, a perfect match for the incredibly glib Tom Bergeron.
