IIRC, previous to last season we'd complain about continuous high scores. Judges can't seem to win for losing.

Jennifer and Audrina were two of the bottom three. That is just wrong. This shouldn't be a popularity contest. They are/were two of the best dancers this season. Audrina shouldn't have been eliminated this week.

Before he announced Audrina, I thought Tom said that these were not necessarily the bottom 2.

Bonbon- they pulled the "this isn't necessarily the real bottom 2" trick they've done in the past. Jennifer could have been first or 2nd overall for all we know- they did it to spook the audience so they will vote more for Jennifer next week, because the producers want Jennifer, Brandy, and either Rick or Kyle in the final 3.

I don't know why they can't get someone that would be good with Tom as an announcer, I liked Samantha some, but can't stand Brooke. He never gets one with the same since of humor as he has.

I didn't like Samantha on this show because she didn't hold the mike up to the tall people so they could speak,lol. Brook just ask stupid questions but she does have some beautiful dresses.

I know, it is very distracting. It's the Brook cleavage hour!

I thought Brook looked so much better about 3 weeks ago when she actually wore a dress that kept the girls in. I liked her when she was on that rock show but I don't like her on DWTS (didn't care for Samantha either). I thought for sure Kyle was going home last night - poor Audrina deserved a few more weeks. The judges comments didn't help her any, then they were so shocked when she was in bottom 2. Brandy is growing on me, but Jennifer not so much, even though she is a great dancer. Not sure what it is .

Here comes my annual mantra: Poor Tony. He always ends up with the short end of the stick. Last year he got stuck with Kate and this year the judges did him in. My sweet Tony can't win for losing. Grrr.

Misspoufy stated: What got me most was the judges comments at the end, their utter surprise at who was in the bottom two. Well duh...it was your scores who helped put them there and your comments which often influence the voting public. You tell them how awful they are and then can't understand why folks vote elsewhere? I so agree with you, Misspoufy. When the judges act surprised, the producers should show the tapes of their remarks and tell them it was their choice to put these peeps in this position. Perhaps it will make them think about how they score the dancers and the remarks they make.

Why does Derek always get the ones that can dance and not a newbee like Audrina or Bristol? Maks generally gets a fairly good dancer while some of the other guys like Tony and Mark get real begin-ers. Do they feel it is a waste of Derek's talents to pair him up with someone like Kate G. or Bristol? If he were a real dance instructor he should be able to teach anyone to dance..even me! I don't understand the judging at all, I think it depends on what side of bed they got out of that morning. I don't like Jennifer, but I don't think that anyone is any better than her, so she will probably win. It has not been a real contest all season. Give her the Mirror Ball and put the Bachelor on early and let us watch Brad for a second time and be bored with that as well.

LOL.. I consider it a pretty good show when Brookes Boobs aren't front and center. I ff through or mute Brooke. I don't like Jennifer but it sure seemed like they lowballed her scores this week.. well then they gave her a good score in marathon. They seem to want Brandy to win, though and that would also placate Maks I suppose. And with all due respect, sweet Tony and all the other pros are just that pros.. they are good dancers but we are supposed to be voting for the "stars" who mostly are on a huge learning curve. What I'd like to do for Tony and all the pros is stop bringing in these other dancers and feature the pros from this show even more on all the fillers they use to fluff out DWTS. I'd rather see them dance more and not see the Macy's dancers or whoever they are.

Audrina had to be bottom, but Jennifer was not, per what Tom said.

Sea, I just think it's odd, that for the most part Derek & Maks get the cream of the crop, time after time. I find it blatant and unfair.

Could be, but realistically, I suspect that they do what they can do to keep the best and/or popular pro dancers happy. I'm guessing Maks and Derek are among those. They want viewers and are less worried about fair, I suppose. Don't want the favorite pros to be out early. I'm just guessing. Anyway life is hardly ever fair and TV is less so.

Wow, Audrina's mom sure is a class act. /sarcasm Don't watch this if you're offended by the "F" word. She says it more times than I would be able to count. http://perezhilton.com/2010-10-28-audrina....

I was going to say much the same thing, about it only seemingly being that Derek gets the good dancers. I think it's more that he gets the women who are physically a good match (tall) and age-wise a good match (young), and are mostly serious about training, like he is, so that they will work well together. Those combine to give a good chance that they're going to go a long way. A similar thing happens with Maks, but with different criteria. He's slightly older and pretty aggressive/blunt in his teaching style, so you're going to have to get someone pretty fierce to be a good match to him, or they're going to be upset at his behaviour. That means he ends up with people like Mel B and Laila, who went a long way, but also Denise Richards who didn't.

I've heard Audrina is getting a reality show, and her mother will definitely be a participant. Scary, huh?

I know, but generally, over the 7(?) seasons he's been on. Although if I didn't know better I'd think Jennifer was in her 30s!

Brook was named Grand Marshall of the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. I've never gone and now I have a good excuse not to go. What did she do before DWTS and being in PlayBoy?

Derek is the best choreographer & makes his partner seem better. When they show the top 10 dance routines, it was noted the when the star got off the count, Derek matched her so she appeared to be in sync.
