This season is much better for that though, Chitchat. There are at least three possible winners, Jennifer, Brandy and Audrina, and quite often the male sports people go far because they have so many fans. Cricket, I think with Jennifer it's like she never turns off the acting and she comes off as insincere, at least to me. I'm not sure I like her, but I like her dancing and Derek, so I'm still rooting for her. I like Audrina much more than I thought I would, though, so she might become my favourite.

Sea, I'm not D-List enough to be offered a slot on the show. However, I'd do it in a heartbeat, if for nothing other than the awesome workout I'd get practicing 6 hours a day!

That's what it is, Kitt...she's always on...yeah. I do like watching her and Derek and I'm with you on Audrina. I hope she shakes her nerves and gives the other gals a run for their money. I'm rooting for her as well. Lakecat, I agree re Bristol. I don't see her being that invested in the show. I see her trying her best, but busy with her son who is with her, and somewhat in awe of it all. I don't think she'd be disappointed if she went next, so I don't see her have ill feelings toward Jennifer.

Jennifer reminds me of those stars of yesteryear who were always on. Very phony. And her drama is not entertaining. But her dancing is nice. Ditto Brandy. Nice dancing. Could pass on the attitude. As for Bristol she continues to look really awkward. I think her partner is too small for her and it makes her look big and clumsy. While she seems shy she certainly can blurt out her opinion like hating the jive. Nevertheless, I agree with those who think most of this article is bogus.

bristol is much more in control of what goes on around her than most folks know. i think that she likes the hollywood attention much in the same way that she sought the attention of the tabloids. she spends many nights out with mark and her friends at the clubs, has two nanny's with her for the son. an act is an act.

serious i am. just as we all have differing impressions of other people on the show, i have a less than favorable opinion of palin. i find her history to be less than innocent or shy or gullible. imo she is a direct participant in the events that surround her. she was paid for at least one of her tabloid articles, and is a ready participant in exploiting her teen pregnancy for money. her speaking engagements are not for free. as for nights out: bristol goes clubbing... palin checks out the mint/ http://birthday fun \newurl this re the us weekly article: cash buys truth from bristol

Ok I agree with you about the tabloid thing, but the left disparaged her name and made her tabloid worthy. As much as that poor girl has been thru I dont blame her one bit for making a buck off what the left/media put her through-but yes,youre right, she doesnt shy away from the tabloids but I doubt she has to "seek" it out. All I see is one night out on the town with no drinking-big deal and the birthday thing was a segment she filmed for DWTS.

the left had nothing to do with her mother parading her before the public in 2008. the next we heard of her was the paid for pics of trig in people. and then again in the paid for magazine cover of her "graduation". i've never seen anything but publicity shots/articles of bristol. but if you can show me where the left put her through anything i will reconsider.

So should Bristol have stayed home on her 20th birthday just so the tabloids wouldn't write about it? The tabloid article I read said the opposite of what you saw or feel. They said she goes home for lunch to be with her son and is a very hands on Mom while in CA. Lol, you're right, Jimmer. This is why they contacted her to be on the show. Luckily she seems to have been received warmly by the other dancing peeps and most of the public.

Although I was not a fan of Bristol prior to the show, I think she has done extremely well for a young person with little public experience.

you know, i just have to apologize for making the remarks i did. this isn't the place to express my feelings about the palins and their dramas. for whatever reason, they put bristol on the show. i've not liked to watch dwts since the reality folk came in and this was just the last straw for me. but i enjoy everyone's take on what happens each week and will continue to peek in to the discussions.

Dovez said the palins and their dramas I don't think they ASKED for drama to be around them, it goes hand in hand, part and parcel, with being in politics. Your life becomes and open book, available for interpretation by anyone who happens along and then is published as truth by tabloids and even the mainstream media. I think the question should be, how much do we really NEED to know about our elected officials and what should be kept personal and private. I know that if I should ever choose to run for high profile public office, an article I wrote in my high school paper (and I'm going to date myself here) supporting the SDS would come to light and I'd be called a left-wing communist by the media. I was a wide-eyed, out-to-change-the-world 13-year-old freshman who wanted the VietNam war to end, walked to school on the first Earth Day (to the utter amazement of my parents)and fought to end the dress code in our school. As I look back I wonder what was I thinking when I wrote that article! Since those days I have done a complete 180 politically. I've learned with age comes wisdom and that things aren't always what they seem on the surface. This show is supposed to be about enjoyment...pure, utter enjoyment. It's not about whose mother does what, or who has had a little more ballet or tap in their childhood years, or who danced in a movie or music videos. I LOVE this show, not only because I love watching the sequins and spray tan but because it's something both my husband and I enjoy sitting down TOGETHER and watching. Every Monday he asks, "Is our show on?" So that's my two cents on the subject.

I understand where you're coming from, Dovez. I was much the same about Kate G. last year. We all have likes and dislikes.

That was a very refreshing post Dovez, thank you for your honesty. Like Cricket said, we have ones we like, ones we cringe at, and ones we have no clue who they are if we don't watch a lot of reality shows. As viewers, we just have to sit back and enjoy watching the professionals (who are really now the stars of this show) teach and perform.

A few years ago, maybe ten, Jennifer Grey was hitting the talk shows promoting her short-lived sitcom, It's Like You Know. Apparently, she had recently had the nose job and that was the common topic even more so than the promotion of the sitcom. I loved Dirty Dancing ridiculously and was excited about watching Jennifer on the talk shows and catching up on her life since DD. However, I found her to be such a turnoff! She came across as so full of herself and conceited. Ugh. She was off putting the the audience as well but didn't seem to be aware of it at all. It's like she was just so excited to be in front of the camera again she lost some basic social skills such as not bragging and putting down the interviewer. I especially remember her on the Daily Show and talking about how some friends wanted to set her up with John Stewart. He seemed a little embarrassed and quickly said that he was involved with someone and she quickly replied she didn't find him attractive anyway. It was awkward for him. She didn't seem to pick up on the awkwardness or understand why the audience was frosty to her. On another talk show I remember her complaining about how everyone now only wants to talk about her nose job and not her tight tushy or flat stomach even though she has never done a sit up (even standing up and turning around to flaunt her figure). And she also was jokingly complaining about how George Stephanopolous' newly published memoir barely mentioned her name even though they dated for a significant period of time. Blech! It obviously was a big turnoff for me to remember these petty details so many years later -- ha ha. However, I like her more on DWTS but her little perky dancing poses bothers me a bit (kinda like Pamela Anderson did last season -- though Jennifer doesn't do the sex kitten thing, they both play up to the camera a little too much for my taste).

The nose job thing with Jennifer makes her unrecognizable to me. I thought she was much more attractive with her old nose, the new one makes her look very bland. It is so distracting, I just can't believe it is the same person.

I'm to the point there's no one I particularly want to see go. Didn't the judges comment on one of the "star's" posture? Looking at the photos above, unless it's the camera angle Kurt's shoulders look hunched / back rounded.

They're doing the top 10 favorite dances as voted on by the viewers. They're on #4 (started at 10). My all time favorite was Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel's Viennese Waltz. I'm hoping it's #1!!
