I think Maks is just reverting to type.. his past sullen, cocky, screw what the judges think 'tude. He basically said they'd learn a short pattern and repeat it. And the long intro and long ending didn't leave so much time for actual dancing and I do think Brandy could have danced it.

I do think all except Bristol had an advantage with lyrics they could understand.

based on that:

Jen and Brandy have 21.51%
Kyle has 21.13%
Kurt has 18.11%
Bristol has 17.73%

So Kurt and Bristol both have to make up 3% over Kyle- Kurt actually might, I doubt Bristol can. Either way, I don't see them BOTH overtaking Kyle. You never know though...but Brandy and Jennifer are in the F4 for sure. The other 2 spots will be interesting..

Patellar tendons are at their most relaxed when fully extended, just sayin.

I LOVED Bristol and Mark's first dance. Carrie Ann was right, Bristol showed emotion!

I think the instant dance should be a part of the show from now on. I liked watching them fit their practiced dance into a song they hadn't heard.

Ive been watching, but this has to be the first season that I'm not really rooting for anybody. I finally decided I care less who wins.

Jen, Brandi, Kyle, Kurt or Bristol...all are fine with me. Don't even really have a passionate dislike for any of them either...

I'm all like "eh"...

I haven't even been able to get my "Derek always gets the ringers!" ire going this season.

I loved Bristol and Mark's first dance too. And I thought Kyle did really well tonight and I have not been rooting for him and been thinking he should have gone home the past few weeks. I still like Jennifer. I'm 50 and I know how many aches and pains and injuries I get these days and I'm impressed with her and think she is doing a great job and I give her credit for hanging in there. I thought Maks was a big baby at the end. And while he has always been my favorite I am just not feeling Brandy and don't even look forward to their dances. I think Kurt should go home this week.

Mark said Mas Que Nada is Spanish. Not. It's Brazilian Portuguese.

Color, those are all Spanish words also, so this kind of proves he didn't know the song. ;-)

I'm glad they saved the Instant Dance until this far into the competition. Can you imagine the disasters we would have seen had this been week 3 or earlier? LOL, maybe that would have been pretty fun to watch, now that I think about it.

They all did well tonight. Sure, Bristol's Samba was a bit off but I thought it was just as good as, if not better than, Kurt's dance (her music was WAY harder than any of the others because of all the tempo changes). Anyway, it's time for one of those two to go home since that's just where they are in ability. After Maks' childish tantrum, I would vote Brandy off if I could, and he's always been my fave pro. The Bad-Boy Maks has shown back up but this was worse than before because it was just rude and uncalled for since the criticism was completely correct.

If Jennifer cries one more time about hurting, I'm going to pull an Elvis on my TV. Oh, with a pillow instead of a bullet of course, lol. I'm almost 40. I was a highly competitive gymnast for 9 years before being 'retired' by major injuries, then went insane and competed again starting at 25 until 32... I've torn ACLs, rotator cuff, biceps, pectoral, hip flexors, groin, both ankles completely severed tendons and ligaments, patellar dislocation, hip dislocation (happens all the time), broken fingers/toes, fractured wrist (32 places), fractured pelvis, cracked ribs... All of these previous injuries linger, yet I still dance, tumble, run, cheerlead -- all without crying constantly and whining. Yeah, I'm not 50 but the docs say I have the parts of a 60 year old. And I don't cry about it! Arghh! Jennifer just aggravates me with that, and I really hate that she uses it for sympathy votes and makes it seem like she has to work so much harder than everyone else...

Sorry for the rant.

I'm so excited that Emily Bear will be on tonight. Emily is a pianist and composer at 9 years old. She's from my hometown. :-)

I don't mind Jennifer. She doesn't dance for a living. Donny Osmond dances and sings for a living. Just saying. She's two years older than me, and I know I'd be hurting trying to do what she is doing. I also loved seeing her Dad tonight.

I enjoyed the switch up tonight with the show. I thought they all did pretty well with it.

I'm the same way about Brandy. I want to like her...I think she dances wonderfully...but everything about her seems calculated and planned. This is probably a result of having been in the public eye since she was very young and having had her life story be front and center in some particularly bad circumstances, but it doesn't come across as particularly likeable (to me).

Brandy was supposedly married years ago but as it turned out she had the man and a baby ; but no marriage certificate. As I recall he may have been a rapper < I could be dead wrong >.I do remember not being at all impressed < but then I am a bit of a snob >
I always kinda/sorta liked Brandy as she looks like a slightly older version of my youngest niece and I enjoy her singing. Even though I rarely watch DWTS I "get" the vibe she is giving off to posters above.

Lakecat & Marameko: During the ensuing production of the Full Moon album, Norwood became involved romantically with producer Robert "Big Bert" Smith. The couple quietly began a regular relationship during the summer of 2001, but their union did not become known until February 2002—the same month Norwood revealed that she was expecting her first child. However, a year after the birth of their daughter Sy'rai Iman Smith on June 16, 2002—an event tracked by the four-part MTV reality series Brandy: Special Delivery—Norwood and Smith officially announced their separation.[94] It was not until 2004, that Smith revealed that the pair was actually never legally wed but they just had portrayed the notion of nuptials to preserve Norwood's public image.[95] Norwood later stated that she regarded her relationship with Smith as a "spiritual union and true commitment to each other."

Of the pros, I like Maks the best and want him to win, so I vote for Brandy. I don't want Derek to win again, been there done that. So, Jennifer does not get my vote. None of the contestants really do it for me though.

I like Kurt, but think his time is up. Bristol, she will probably make it through because of fan base. I like Cory too, but don't see him going much farther. Think Kurt and Cory will be in the bottom 2 with Kurt going home.

Looking forward to Dancecenter tonight. Len, Jerry and the ESPN guy (who I love but can't seem to remember his name right now) always cracks me up.

What gets me about Brandy is that she keeps saying that she wants to win this more than anyone else. Sorry, but I don't believe that for a minute. They all want to win. There is just something about her that I don't care for, yes I do agree that she can dance, but I just don't care for her. I know that Kyle won't win, but I really like him and he is really trying and I enjoy watching him, maybe because he actually is enjoying himself.

I feel the same about Brandy. There's something about her I just do not like.

So I'd be happy with a Jennifer win or Maks win -- NOT a Brandy win or Derek win. How's that gonna happen?

I really enjoy watching Bristol and Kyle every week. They are not dancers, but they sure are learning and improving and trying so hard.

Kurt should be the next to go. That would be too bad for Anna.

I think Kurt is getting a little frustrated with the judges. Normally, he's pretty affable, but last night his annoyance snuck into his comments. Really, I don't blame him though. The judges clearly have their favorites.

I must say that I totally agree with the Brandy comments. She really rubs me the wrong way. But then again she always did. She has a holier than thou attitude (IMO) that I just can't understand. While I would love for Maks to win I just can't bring myself to vote for them. Derek and Jennifer are very good but I am so excited for Kyle and Lacey. He really listens to the criticism and tries to improve every week and personally I think he has. I think his instant dance last night was the best of the bunch! He maintained the high energy and was the only one to actually match the dance to the beat IMHO. It should be Kurt to leave tonight. Nice as he usually is, his dancing is really not close to the rest of them. Should be an interesting show. Does anyone remember who the guest is tonight?

Since she has not been the major topic of conversation until now, I didn't realize as many people disliked Brandy as much as I do. She has an air about her like she's better than everyone. I know she did/said something early on which turned me off and I can't even remember specifically what it was. Her dances are always good, but they just don't touch me at all.

I do like Jennifer and hope she wins. I guess I don't pay close enough attention to be annoyed w/her injuries. I didn't even know her father was there last night. LOL

The one thing that attracted my attention and I couldn't stop looking at was how bruised Lacy was on her right side in the back. At first I wasn't sure if it was a shadow, so of course, I had to keep looking for it and then when I saw it was bruising, I couldn't stop looking at it. LOL

Wow, I have always felt the same way about Brandy. Not sure what it is - but I just get this vibe that turns me off. I want Jennifer to win. But, after her I would like Kyle - I adore him, think he is precious and is dancing great.
