The lifts were allowed in this dance. The only person I enjoy watching dance is Derek!

I fast forward through everything with Brooke in it.. I found Florence and Corky sort of disturbing. Where did Bristol mention being "so religious"? She's not the first or even the youngest to have some difficulty with the "hot and sexy" dances. As for bad dances, not sure why the show suddenly decided to go acoustic AND completely change the shape, size and elevation of the stage.. sort of like let's take these mostly not real natural dancers and handicap them more..

Sea...I agree with you about the decision to go acoustic and change the shape, size and elevation of the dance floor! It did seem like a handicap. Bristol is not a star nor is she a dancer so it was painful last night watching her. But her legs did look good in that outfit!

As I predicted,bye-bye Bristol.I knew Bristol would not be able to bring on "the Sexy". It seems the younger ones always have a problem being sexy so in Bristols defense I can see where shes coming from.And why did they put Bristol in such an un flattering outfit? Im just not feeling the Jennifer love.I dont like it when one dancer starts out much better than everyone else.Ive said it before and Ill say it again,anybody but Jennifer.

Brandy annoys the heck outta me. I loved the record screech sound when her partner was trying to be romantic and she told him how to do it.

As I predicted,bye-bye Bristol. I think The Situation could quite possibly go tonight. Not a Brandy fan either,but shes improved since the beginning. Me neither. She began improving after she started taking instruction from Maks as opposed to giving it to him.

I think the person who isn't improving at all is Kyle. He started out with lots of personality but to me that all he still has. He is a young man and should be improving quickly but (IMO) he just hasn't "brought it." I think he thinks he will get through on his charm, personality and Disney votes alone. I didn't hear Bristol mention being "religious" at all...I did hear Kurt talk about being a Christian...but have not heard any comments on that (and quite honestly I find it refreshing to hear someone discuss the issue of doing an extremely erotic and sexy dance with someone other than their partner).

Tex ITA! Pamy, I agree about Flo's daughter, I thought at first it was Cindy Brady. Was that Christopher Knight and Arianna in the audience? I thought each dancer did the best they could given their backgrounds. Everyone is at least trying and not whining or going through the motions for the paycheck. And for those of us who watch the show, how hot were Dymtri and Chelsea?!! Whew!

What bugs me is that they keep talking about Kurt's hands while he's dancing. It just feels like a little power trip for the judges when they get to judge both technical and performance. I don't like it. These aren't professional dancers.

I must watch a different show! Texannie, I'm with you. I watch this show for pure enjoyment. I have my favorites, and often, by the end, it's not the same favorite I started with. I love Jennifer and Derek, watching them dance is pure delight. There was a momemt last night when I turned to my husband and said, "she looks just like Baby there." (Dirty Dancing has always been in my top 10 fav movies of all time.) I get a hoot out of the judges and their comments sometimes. It doesn't even bother me that these aren't A-list, or even B-list stars. It doesn't bother me that Bristol Palin is on, I think it's rather interesting how they're expanding into other areas and bringing in people considered "stars" in other fields, including reality television, politics, etc. Last time we had Buzz Aldrin who wasn't a star, although he'd been up among the stars! If I can watch Kate Gosselin surely we can watch Bristol Palin, who at least is making a real effort and isn't just stomping around the stage.

Susan Lucci is a soap opera "star". I don't remember hearing complaints about her. I have never watched her show and think soap operas are stupid stupid stupid. If it was truly only A list stars on this show, they couldn't have filled up one season. True "stars" IMO, would be people like Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck, and the like. This is NOT really dancing with the "stars" and it never has been, so why are people so hung up on that term? Many of us happen to like watching people dance, and we don't care if they're "stars" (MY star isn't YOUR star and vice versa) or simply schmucks we've heard of.

The lifts were allowed in this dance. So why was that? I had always thought "no lifts" rule was for safety reasons... That they didn't want amateur dancers trying a lift... Why was it okay this week???

Lifts are generally not permitted in *any* competitive ballroom dance, only exhibition. Altho in recent years, some competitions allow a maximum of one lift per routine. So last night must have been an exception to the rules.

I think the no lift thing pertains to ballroom dance competition rules for certain dances, not DWTS rules.

I was confused about the lifts as well; thinking Carrie Ann was going to be all over the dancers about them. Someone needs to dress Bristol in a better manner that fits her body style. The shirt last night wasn't right for dancing.

LOL, Reenie, I was only half paying attention last night, so didn't hear them announce the dance names very much. In general, DWTS *does* follow American Dance competitive rules, and that means no lifts for the standard ballroom dances, until one reaches an upper level of competition. I just assumed that they were calling this an exhibition dance (even tho it was judged), but it was not Ballroom Tango (which is what they usually do), it was Argentine Tango, which has different rules and standards.
