Huk - Jamie Lee was sitting right behind Eliza Dushku. They sit near each other every week.

O.k., I was probably looking at someone else they focused on, because JLC has looked normal every other night! I don't know who Eliza is. I googled her, and that wasn't who I was looking at.

Googled and found my own answer, lol Yes, Rick Fox is dating Eliza Dushku. They've been together for a year and just recently moved in together.

I pretty much agree with your assessment of tonight's dances, Shel! I didn't mind the Brady Bunch song, other than the arm thing. I wish the judges would stop blaming the celebrities for certain things (like the arm thing with Florence). They don't choreograph the dances, the professionals do!

Eliza is an actress. Starred in the movie Bring It On (the original) and more recently was the lead on the tv show Dollhouse. It's even rumored she is going to be in Ghostbusters 3. lol, yeah, they are finally making number 3.

It was the violent shaking that I didn't like in Flo and Mark's dance. Her neck just doesn't have the ability to do that and it looked painful. And unnecessary.

I didn't particularly enjoy the show last night and the tv theme. I liked Brandy much more than I usually do - she looked so beautiful - wish I could like her more but there is something about her attitude that I don't care for. I thought Florence looked like she was being dragged around by Mark. Also loved Kurt & Anna's dance. Bristol looked really cute and wish she hadn't messed up. Enjoyed Kyle, as usual, but know the dancing isn't great. I'm guessing Bristol is going home.

I liked Kurt and Anna. The look on Kurt's face when she didn't know who Walter Peyton was... priceless. I like Kurt as a person. He seems like someone who might be interesting to talk to over a beer or a cup of imaginary tea.

I don't think Bristol is going home, at least I hope not. I had a hard time getting my 8 calls in for her, busy, busy, busy!

Kurt and Anna were abosuletly delightful. I can't see what Rick Fox did in his dance to garner the same score as Kurt - 3-8's. I saw Rick walking more than dancing, but I'm not a dance pro, so maybe they saw something I didn't. Audrina stumbled for the first time..I hope she get's her groove back and can relax. I don't think Bristol will go home this week, but if she wants to stay much longer, she's got to get her dance down pat before the performance. Lakecat, as far as fair...she was equally as entertaining as Lacey/Kyle. I didn't like their dance at all. They just don't seem to mesh. Having said that, it could be her, because Florence did pretty well.

I do hope Crystal stays because I loved her performance last night, which I thought was very clever--and a pointed attack at her mother's rejection of the science of evolution. What could be more brilliant than to take the motif of a monkey wearing a tutu and that have it evolve into a human form? And, indeed, that the human form was always-already present in the monkey if only one knew where to look? Indeed, her series of performances has been an excellent deconstruction of the logical fallacies underlying Sister Sarah's ideological pronouncements, so much so that I think Crystal might be the most slyly astute political commentator we have right now.

I saw them wearing a monkey costume because the song was the theme from The Monkee's show. And I also think I remember Mark saying the costume was a way for Bristol to do better with her acting. I don't think there were political undertones at all! I'm not a huge fan of Kyle. I enjoy the pre-dance stuff they show, but he's just really bottom heavy looking when he dances. Not saying he doesn't try hard, because it sure appears that he does. He just has zip zero nada in the grace department. I'd vote either Florence or Kyle off before Bristol. Bristol messed up bigtime on her timing last night, but I can really see her efforts to learn and she seems to be just such a good sport about everything. I have seen her evolve, whereas Kyle just seems to be lumbering along, without any changes. Just my opinion

I think Bristol has really improved, even though she has quite a way to go.

Sorry--bristol, not Crystal. LOL. Like I said, I'd never heard of her or her mother before DWTS started. One thing I think the judges were wrong about was this idea that she was missing steps/making mistakes. It seems to me that her "missed steps" were a way of commenting on her mother's quitting things midstream: Bristol would "quit" in the middle of the dance and, knowing the camera was still on her, do something else, but always slightly akimbo and awkward in unexpected ways, as if each dance move 9and each "missed" movement) were the dance form of malapropisms like "refudiate." Or, again, it could be that the lack of sync between Bristol and her partner was a way of "going rogue" in the context of ballroom, as if to say, "yes, there is the way one typically does it, and then there is the way I choose to do it, which is to eschew conventional thinking and modes of bodily belonging." I think it's been a weeks-long piece of astonishingly aware performance art. She and Laurie Anderson might want to work on a piece together for BAM when the season is over.

Seriously, you'd never heard of Bristol or Sarah Palin before DWTS, yet your post is basically tearing apart Bristol's dance and relating it (IMO, stretching it big time) to her mother's politics? ETA: You posted plenty of times in the All Things Palin thread in N&V, so I don't understand what you're trying to get at with your posts

ROFL Tish...perhaps they were dressed in the monkey suit because the song was the theme song from the MONKEE's!

I am a bit confused about your post Tishala. You said you never heard of Bristol or her mother before DWTS? I am not a Palin fan at all, so that has nothing to do with my post here. Your mention of "going rogue" refers WAY back before DWTS. Have you done a lot of research on Sarah Palin since the show started and that's how you know all that info now?

See my ETA on my 12:18 p.m. post above. Somehow I think Tishala is joking here, but I don't get it

I would like to see Bristol go home. Last night was just painful to watch. She seemed very uncomfortable and really did not move well in the dance at all. Mark has tried hard, but some people just can't do something like this. It's time for her to go. I had high hopes for Kyle at the beginning of the season and wonder where his dancing would be if he did not have Lacey as his partner. When he was dancing with Chelsie in the piece, I thought, wow, he should have been her partner. Lacey is a good dancer but wants to be the 'rebel'. Consequently, her choreography sometimes causes the judges to really drop the scores. Just watch, if they make it through to next week, Lacey will adhere totally to the 'rules' of the dance. She does this every season. Someone needs to tell her that it's all about her partner, not her. Interesting to see the friction between Derek and Jennifer. I like that Jennifer called him on it and told him that she can't work like that. In the past, we have only really seen Derek's 'fun and intense' side, not the extreme intensity that causes problems with his partner. (they've shown Max's side before, but this is the first time I remember seeing Derek like that) Of course, that intensity is probably why he's won so many trophies, but "good for Jennifer" telling him that it does not work for her. Kurt and Anna's was my favorite dance last night. Having said that, I would really like to see Max win the mirror-balled trophy one of these seasons. Brandy might be his best shot at it. (he looked so cute in his suit last night) Every time I see him now, I think how lucky Chelsea Clinton was to have him teach her to dance for her wedding.

Oh kids, I'm having a bit of fun. I'm playing with dance like I play with literary texts. I've been reading too much Derrida recently. \slinks away in sadness
