I'd like to see all the Duggar girls on it. None of them could do those sexy dances or get close to the men dancers. Let's see how Derek handles that! But he'd probably get Jinger...she's got a bit of rebel streak in her. Dancing With the Duggars...has a nice ring to it!

Anyone else getting tired of hearing Jennifer whine about "her body" problems? I can see that being on this show is a huge physical thing, and know she has neck/knee problems, but okay, do we have to keep hearing about it? I guess that will be her excuse if she doesn't win. Personally I would be glad to trade bodies with her!

So in terms of dancing ability is this the weakest final four of any season?

I don't see Jennifer needing or wanting to make any excuses. She seems to like attention, but she doesn't seem to blame things when she doesn't do well. I don't think it's the weakest final four... Brandy and Jennifer have been excellent at times, and good almost all the time. Quite often there's been a third person in the final like Kyle, who's good to ok on the dancing, but whose performance factor makes up for their lack of technique. Hard to remember fourth place in the past, but maybe Bristol is the weakest fourth we've seen, not sure. If Bristol beats one of the others to the final then I think she'd be the weakest to ever go to the final three... that I remember (and that's not always reliable ;)). eta: just had a look at the final threes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_with_the_Stars _%28U.S._TV_series%29 If John O'Hurley is who I think he is (I didn't see season one) then he might have been weaker than Bristol, but there really have been some great final threes.

Yes I was going to say the first couple of seasons,the contestants were probably pretty comparable to these current ones.

Would abstain from DWTS if they put Paul Reubens on it. Not sure I've ever said that about a show but that man is weird and has been involved in some questionable activities in the past. He certainly doesn't fit the image that DWTS likes to portray.

Kitt, John O'Hurley was great. Far better than the gal who won the trophy.

As someone around Jennifer's age, I understand a bit of what she is going through! This summer I started running...I hadn't run since I was 22. It is so frustrating that my body doesn't want to whip into shape as my mind thinks it should. On one hand you still feel young, but then there are these signs that your body isn't, and it is overwhelming and emotional. I am sure my friends roll their eyes at me on occasion because I do tend to go on about it, but honestly it is annoying and doesn't feel quite fair (though I know it is!)...while your mind feels so young your body is betraying you. (I vacillate between that whining attitude and loving life and being grateful for great health!)

I take the rehearsal scenes with a grain of salt...remember that they are only showing us snippets of what obviously have to be hours of rehearsal...so it's one of two things: (1) Jennifer whines all the time about her various ailments or (2) the producers have decided that they want to feature Jennifer's whining.

Jimmer, I'd say there were two stronger couples and two weaker ones. Jennifer/Derek are the closest to previous finalists. I haven't been totally dazzled by anyone this season, except for maybe Audrina. She was very surprising with how quickly she picked up the dancing. I'd loved to have seen where she would have been at this stage. Re Paul Reubens....no way. Besides his previous problems, I don't want anyone on there who says they want to do it and expects to automatically be put on the show. That's what Kate G. did and look what a mess that was. I don't know how I feel about politicians being on. They've done football players every year just about and that's been fine for the most part. Like many of you, I would like to actually see more bonafide 'stars.' It would be interesting to see if they'd hack it or just want to give up.

How about Scott Hamilton? The only problem is that he is so small that he probably couldn't do any sort of lifts unless the woman was teeny.

I believe Scott is only five foot four and I think all the females are taller than that. Maybe they could recruit a smaller woman dancer. However, he might not be ready right now after having to undergo another brain surgery fairly recently. Wekipedia puts his height at five two and a half.

Who was that sweet but gawky looking guy from a couple of seasons ago? Wasn't he a male figure skater?

The only skater I can remember was Apolo Ono who was a speed skater. He won the mirror ball.

Why does the guy have to be taller than the woman? Even though Cheryl B. was quite a bit shorter than her partner I think they managed to make the dances flow.....some of these sports stars are really quite tall. No one seems concerned about "tallness", just "shortness" in the man?????

Evan came in 2nd place. And it was just this past spring, shortly after the Olympics ended. Time does fly!

That's the one, Evan Lysacek! Thanks! He was a figure skater - remember the very balletic-like poses?

Auntiemike...I would disagree. I read on this, and many other boards, that Rick and Cheryl were quite mismatched in terms of size. It was distracting to watch them as a pair. Rick's height was often discussed... even by him. He would say his height helped him on the basketball court, but hurt him on the dance floor.
