Having missed most of last week's show, I was appalled that Bristol was still in it given what they showed of her performance last week. And although I thought she was significantly better this week she is, as someone said above, doing the least amount of dance steps. She might or might not be putting her feet in exactly the right places but there is no "pizzazz" when she does it. I couldn't even remember what she had done for her solo portion so I had to go and watch...basically she walked across the stage and waved her wings.

I'm glad that people are passionate about her and voting for her, and she might get into the final 3, but she isn't by far the best dancer, and I want my finale to be with people who are flashy and can dance. I'm shallow that way! I love to watch Jennifer dance (and last night she laid off the whiny stuff in case anyone didn't notice), love that her husband had tears in his eyes when he was talking about how happy she was with her time on this show, thought Brandy was amazing last night, thought Kyle was fun and thought Bristol was passable and still wooden. I also though whomever did both Bristol's and Brandy's extensions in their first two numbers need to get another profession because they were horrible!

ITA - the doing the fewest dance steps - I never noticed that in other seasons, but I noticed it a lot this season (Brandy got called on it too tho)

and they are being rewarded for it - and I fully expect Bristol to get to the final 3, she has been in the bottom the whole season and survived, she'll survive to dance again.

Glad I wasn't the only one who witnessed the walking around the dance floor thing re Bristol. So if she places her feet on the floor (on beat) while walking, add a couple of arm moves or swings, and let Mark guide her through the dips, that's dancing? Ummm, no.

Kyle is my favorite so far. Of all the seasons I've watched, I've yet to remember a male dancer who has danced his hiney off like him! LOL He really gets into it, is fabulous with the intricate footwork Lacey choreographs, and hecka fun to watch! Most other guys were content with letting their female pro do the flashy stuff. Love Kyle!

So between Kyle, Jennifer, and Brandy - their pros have them at a point in this competition where they're performing at a higher level of difficulty. And they are doing great! All three deserve to win and have earned their spots in the finals.

Bristol, bless her heart, is trying. I can tell. But her progress right now is where the other remaining contestants were in week 3! The 9's she scored, in all honesty and fairness, should have been 6's in the first dance and maybe 7's at the highest in the second one. (I'm basing that on the way the judges seem to do it.)

I have to repeat what I said earlier for sure. If any of the other "stars" danced like Bristol, the judges would have let the insults fly with no mercy!

Chief,thats why I have a problem with "stars" who have dance experience entering the contest versus those who dont. Yes,Brandy,Jen and Kyle were/are dancing at a higher level than Bristol but they should be dancing at a higher level, they are performers afterall.You have a Disney kid who sings and dances,a daughter of a huge Broadway star who was trained in dance and Brandy who has several music videos where she was dancing and singing at an early age and then you have Bristol-no dancing,no singing in her background.She desrves to be there just as much as the other three.

Wait a minute, didn't Sarah Plain or one of Bristol's friends say last night that they were proud of the way she was dancing her tail off because in high school she was always in the corners ready to call it a day at practice? not the actual words but something they said led me to believe that she did have some dance classes. I'd wager she has had some dance class.

I like her and see that she has improved.

They said she was the wallflower at school dances, or something to that effect.

I will have to watch it back because I thought I heard them saying something about being ready to call it a day.

When Bristol was waving her wings last night, I have to say I kept getting images of Kate last year when she did that paparazzi song.

I know everyone is sick of Jennifer complaining about her injuries, but have you considered the powers that be picked that to be her "story line" and the others may be complaining of pain as well, but that's not how they wanted to portray them? All of us who watch/watched live feeds on Big Brother know very well how they can change the image of one of the hamsters by what they choose to show.

Bristol doesn't bother me like I thought she would, but definitely is the least skilled as a dancer. Kyle is really giving it his all. He has the energy and attitude, but it's hard with him being the only male contestant to compare his technique,etc. I do think he is far ahead compared to Bristol.

Jennifer & Brandy both have such smooth & graceful movements, I think they should be in the final three, along with Kyle, IMO.

I rewatched and what her friend said was at school dances she was a wallflower. They also said something about her being the first one to want to leave and go home. Nothing was said about lessons which is kinda sirprises that they didn't get them but she was a tom boy who played football in school. Very shocking. we had a girl here that played up to 6'th grade a quit in the middle of 7'th grade because she could no longer keep up with the boys. This was just youth football not school. I think Bristol is doing great and seems like a nice girl. I think the other girls are pros and I love kyle. I am ready for Brandy to go home.

Ok, I really do believe you all. Yeah, I thought that was cool that she was in football. My son's team in high school had a girl on it and she made a touchdown!

I just checked Dial Idol, and although I'm not sure of the validity or successful prediction rates, it looks extremely close! It shows:

Contestant DialIdol score DialIdol range

Kyle & Lacey 52.512 1-4

Bristol & Mark 51.104 1-4

Brandy & Maksim 48.342 1-4

Jennifer & Derek 48.043 1-4

I suspect we may have a shocking elimination!

Selective editting can make a villian look like a good guy. But it a lot harder to make a good guy look like a bad guy. The material is just not there.

So if everyone is whining, they can select someone to be the whiner. But if no one is whining there simply is no whining footage to create an unreality.

Jennifer's hardly a bad guy though. She has whined, but probably with good reason given her medical history. I think the producers did choose it for her, because she's got to know it wasn't attractive and wouldn't have courted such a storyline. And she always seems to be overly bouncy during the show, in fact it's that part that puts me off of her, she just doesn't seem natural.

The whining I forgive, the dancing I love. I think she should win unless they mess up next week.

Assuming they get to next week.

First results soon. So far they haven't teased about any "shock" results.

Spoilers coming...

Jennifer and Derek are safe.

Miss Palin is in In Touch or something this week complaining that Maks doesn't like her because he thinks she not as good at dancing as the others. Well, OK. Keep it to yourself, ma'am.

No problem Chief, the more the merrier, particularly as I'm watching it on a stream where the sound is wildly out of synch with the picture! Might need some backup!

they should have noted the atrocious grammar, too.

My internet feed of the show keeps freezing, despite a cable connection. I love hearing the bits of Annie Lennox I'm getting, though. LOVE her.
