I was able to get my phones in via landline and cell, but can't get the website to work. Good thing I have all night to try, eh? Definitely thought the judges scored Bristol's jive to high-imo it was marginally better than her first try at it. Missed Jennifer's first dance, but between her freestyle and Kyle's, I enjoyed Kyle's more. Off to try ABC yet again.

I got to ABC.com using AOL but then got in an endless mess where it told me I could sign using Twitter and even sometimes said that had worked but then mostly I could not vote or if I could try it didn't work. Last I saw it seemed to have taken one vote, says I have four left. Too early to vote by phone here, even though I saw the show.

Jennifer didn't dance the fox trot.. they did paso doble. Bristol did jive and Kyle did fox trot. Ahh..thanks, Seamonkey. I was going by a post above and wasn't paying enough attention. That's right..Bristol did do the jive her first dance. Well then, Jennifer's paso doble was the best dance in the first round. I'm really confused about the voting. I thought there was a total of 10 votes per phoneline; however, how many other ways are there? How many online ways; is text different than a phone call? Geez, I'm beginning to see why the voting is so out of control. Many people have different electronics so they could possibly vote 40-50 times. Why not just leave it to calling. Wouldn't that simplify things? I have a feeling Kyle is going to pull out the win. He seems to have a lot of fans.

Sea, for the past couple of weeks when I voted (only online, and this is the first time ever voting and even watching this show) I was able to sign in using my FB sign-on. Tonight, it said I was connected, but wouldn't let me vote-kept taking me back to the sign-on screen. I thought, 'I'll try Twitter'-same thing, said I was signed in but wouldn't take a vote. Wonder how much "Skating With the Stars" has to do with it-two shows with voting opportunities. All I know is it is frustrating!

Watching live on the west coast - they've just said FIVE votes per phoneline, and lines are open until 30 minutes after the show ends.

I was only able to do five votes per phone line, so I did five each on my cell, and my landline.

Okay, I got all 5 votes in on my main Email, then signed up my business email and voted 5 more times. How many Emails should I use?

I liked Kyle and Lacey's foxtrot, but it didn't stand out to me as amazing. Good to see Bristol really getting into the jive, but her footwork was pretty bad. I think the judges are stuck between a rock and a hard place, they don't want to seem biased against her so have to vote her high, yet they're also going to be criticised for overscoring her. Imagine how they'd have scored the better dancers if they had footwork like that - I can't imagine any judge giving more than an eight.

Karuuna - use them all! At least you're a fan of the show! ABC.com always messes up my pc... can never get anywhere with it. Will definitely use my five phone votes though.

Kar, whatever you think is fair.. I cannot even put in votes with my one main email addy and I'm not a masochist so I doubt I'll beat my head trying to use the website. I put in my 5 votes with my cell and 5 with my landline. My magicjack as usual didn't work at all.

I didn't think Jennifer's paso was 10 worthy, or at least not triple 10 worthy... but then if they give the others 9s, then you have to give this 10s.

The website isn't working again, hanging up. So I guess that's it for me!

Got my five phone votes in - all for Jennifer. Took eight calls (three times it wouldn't connect). Don't like the style of Kyle's freestyle but he certainly did ok in it. Not much in Bristol's freestyle. But I thought she looked good.

I truly thought Jennifer's two dances were excellent. Her paso was so good I watched it three times and her freestyle was also very good. I could go to any hop hip club in LA and find people dancing better than Kyle's freestyle. Sorry. It was just underwhelming. Missed his first dance. Bristol's freestyle was interesting. Her jive was also interesting.

Reader said: "tried calling in for Jennifer during the show and for an hour after the show - all I got was busy signals." Same here, Reader, who one exception. I suddenly remembered to try real early in the show and had gotten 3 votes in when suddenly it went to busy/busy/busy and wouldn't let up til it finally said no more voting in my time zone. Big disappointment. And then I went to the website; got a few votes in, but trouble there also. Kept getting error/retry messages. Bet there will be some complaints abou this...they urge us to vote, and then we can't!

At least American Idol puts on more lines toward the end of the show.. and they have to handle unlimited votes.

Could not vote online tonight. In constant limbo/ Bristol's jive was NOT a 9! Terrible! Me thinks something is rotten in Denmark...
