That was one of the truly terrific things about this show - the use of a live band and live musicians. I was in awe of their abilities. I didn't watch the show last season because of the bottom-of-the-barrel dancers and this is another reason for not watching it any more.

DWTS ratings for that night beat both those for American Idol and The Voice. They were all down from the previous season `but DWTS was down only a tiny bit and their ratings were quite a bit higher than the other shows. I don't agree with the criticism of the producers going on and on about Amy's disabilities. I think that with the Boston bombings, returning soldiers with amputees, childhood accidents it is very important that we do understand that disabilities don't have to limit people in what they do or define them. I think that Amy and her tenacity (plus having to have a kidney transplant as well) show us that the lives of amputees and those with other disabilities must be respected and accepted. I don't think that always happens. Now the season with Chastity - that I thought was gratuitous BS and I didn't watch it.

They're upset that Ryan lied about his "being held at gunpoint" story from Rio. They showed other views of what happened but I'm not sure their real intent. When security grabbed the one guy they bumped into Tom & Ryan. They weren't armed but it appeared they wanted to protest in front of the cameras. Crazy.

I can't believe Tarra got a high score. I guess they don't want her going ballistic on anyone like she does on little women she is not a nice person. She has a brand new baby and the other one is just a year or so old both with serious problems and the older has had several surgeries. Her doctor told her not to do the show just weeks after her c section but she is such a fame ho she was not going to miss the chance. It made me think even less of her knowing her new born didn't mean enough to her to rate over going to the show.
