I would like to beat whoever updates the Yahoo home page!!! I didn't watch and planned to soon. Made the mistake of going to check tomorrow's weather. There were the results damn it!!! They had been better about this lately so I didn't think much of it. GRRRRRRRRR Pity Kym is gone so soon...wish they gave her someone else!

Looking at all of the 'stars' over the seasons, we have had some who are not 'out' with their politics and some who are. I thought it would be interesting to break it down on those who have been vocal right or left (or just associated with one)... Right -- Tucker Carlson, Sara Evans, John Ratzenburger, Tom Delay, Kathy Ireland, Kurt Warner and Bristol Palin (associated by her mother, I don't know her personal views being L or R) Left-- Kelly Monaco, John O'Hurley, Kenny Mayne, Master P, George Hamilton, Lisa Rinna, Tia Carrere, Tatum O'Neil, Vivica Fox, Jerry Springer, Mario Lopez, Harry Hamlin, Heather Mills, Lance Bass, Pam Anderson, Margaret Cho The rest of them I either don't know or they haven't been very public about their politics (but many lean left from what I've read). There are a whole lot more from the left than the right who have been on DWTS and I don't recall seeing many posts over the years that were nasty and personal against the stars from the left by posters who seem to be on the right. A show called Dancing with Liberals or Dancing with Conservatives would be pretty boring to talk about I think. :-)

Shel that's interesting - but color me ignorant - because its just so unfair that the media has made this country a "red state - vs blue state" and everyone jumps on board... honestly I do not doubt for one moment your list - but neither would I have "gone there" other than the politicians - and they tend to switch sides if its right for them??? again - I HATE that it has come to this.

Thank you so much Rainbow and others here. I sometimes hesitate to post, afraid of the response. I just feel we, as a nation, have to come together somewhere in the middle, where often lives common sense, and reality, and as a very insightful person here mentioned, not red or blue, but just Americans rooting for each other to succeed. I'm in my early 60's and have seen alot, nothing surprises me but much disappoints me. I love to watch these people dance, and are always amazed at their bravery coming out on that stage to dance and to expose themselves to the public comments. Good luck to all, and thanks so much for the positive posts.

Question: Who were the four "guest pros" (I think Tom Bergeron called them that) dancing twice with the singers, I think especially Chris Daugherty?

Last night I hoped and posted that I hoped Hoff would go and was pleasantly pleased to see him off first. Felt bad for poor Kym, though

Wanted to add that the censors should have done better with Carrie Ann last night. She said the c* word (in Spanish, mind you) to Audrina (about her having the **** to do a solo on week one)... Since the US has a large Spanish speaking populace I am sure that there were others a little surprised to hear that word. I speak Castellano but I am sure that the Spanish spoken here has the same c* word.

Alliet, This is totally off topic, but your glass animals are adorable. You are very talented. I am assuming those are yours.

Is there anyplace posting the dances online? Previous years I remember I could find just the dances somewhere (when I can't watch the tv show).

I agree with whomever, far upthread, that suggested Karina my have had some "work" done...specifically to her face. I also noticed that they changed Lacey's outfit for tonight's show as well....thank goodness!! I'm no prude...far from it in fact...but watching last night's recap I'm amazed there was not a "nippage" incident with her at some point. Not to mention that she's dancing with a very young person.

I was so prepared to really dislike Bristol, but she actually turned out to come across as a very sweet girl and I thought she did pretty good with her dancing. She is a teenager who made a mistake and she is not a "Star", but it is not her fault that they picked her to be on the show, and I found myself liking her. I was glad to see David Hasselhoff go. I hope Margaret Cho and Michel Bolton follow close behind.

ITA, Countrydaze, except I didn't start out disliking Bristol. Margaret and Michael can go next. On the whole, it is a good cast this year.

Who is that Kyle guy,he was good,what has he done or do that makes him a star? I always root for the underdog,that was Hoff and is Bristol.

The funny thing is, of all these people he is probably one of the biggest current "stars" in his own genre...if you have a tweener he is very recognizable...he is the star of his own show "Cory in the House" and before that he was on "That's So Raven." My daughter knew who he was before she even saw him (she's 13).

Kyle is on a couple of Disney TV shows. Raven, and something else. Wow, did I like him a lot! I really didn't expect him to wow me like he did - and SO young! I hope he goes far. BTW - I'm very liberal, and I like Bristol Palin. I separate her from her mother, since this is a dance competition, and not an election! I agree that the field is more level this year, no ringers and no 10's the first week. Much better. And yeah, I was also glad to see 'The Hoff' get the boot, but feel bad for Kym, she is one of my favorite pros.

Jennifer Gray is like 50 years old. I'd hardly say she has much advantage, if any.

Lurk, that is how I feel when I come to a thread deep in this site and someone posts results of another show OR a sporting event that I was planning to watch later and had recorded. Try living on the West Coast.. even worse for spoilage. I hate home pages that spoile actual results and hate tv networks who spoile events that air on other networks.. like ESPN putting a crawler at the bottom of something I'm watching of theirs and spoiling sports scores/results that aired on NBC or whatever. Grr, indeed.

unless Jennifer has been dancing the last 25 years, I am not sure that having been a dancer in your past is that helpful once you reach a certain age. I am sure Florence had ballet as a child, and she even performed in musical theater, but I don't see people calling Florence a ringer.

One note on Jennifer...I heard a recent interview where she stated she's had back surgery at some point in the past and is very cautious how she moves. Derek is VERY gentle with her. And if you notice in a couple of non-dancing shots from last night's show she twists in a stiff manner.

Whew, finally have a chance to post...I'm sorry to see the Hoff go-he is funny, even if it's not intentional. I really thought Cho would be the first to go. She made a mockery of the whole thing. Niecy was funny last year but never went over the top(IMO), she entertained while trying her darndest to dance well. Like someone else mentioned earlier, I'm surprised Louis pushed it so far, he knows better! As for the rest, they all appear to be trying. Even The Situation (I can't believe I'm actually talking about someone with that name! LOL) He surprised me with what he did do. By no means am I a fan of him or "The Jersey Shore". I personally find it offensive but he was ok. Was it great? No. But I see the potential as do some of the others. It will be interesting to see how he evolves. I can't wait to see how they all do next week! (And I agree Karina looks like she had some work done but I can't pinpoint what it was! She definitely looks different!)

I heard that too Brian. But I didn't really notice the stiffness. I'll have to look for it next week.

Not only Karina looks like she has had some "work" done, but I think Kim has too. Although I think she is very attractive, she is a little older than most of the other female pros . . and her face looks different to me. I had never heard of Kyle either (and I have a tween) but I loved his performance. And after watching Audrina's dance again last night, I think she was scored way too low - maybe just because she went first.
