Agree pretty much with everything you said. Mario has some really good moments, too.

My guess would be the last three will be Kristi, Mario and the football player (senior moment--can't think of his name).

I really enjoy that show and I enjoy it more than the real ballroom dancing competitions (on PBS?), as I don't find that they look like they are having fun! LOL!

Melissa is actually my favorite because she reminds me of myself at that age....short and fluffy but I can d-a-n-c-e!!!

Hope that Christian is OK.

Enjoy!

Dittoes to the above

I guess I wasn't paying enough attention. I didn't know a thing about Christian being in pain. What was wrong?

Shannon isn't bad, but I'm tiring of the tears. Just suck it up and dance, girl. You're not half bad.

Jason did pretty good last night, but Kristy is my favorite. However well the judges score her though, I expect Jason will win anyway (fan base, don't you know?).

I really like Mario's looks, and he does pretty good, but I sort of get a vibe from him that he thinks his looks and reputation will see him through.

Well, I think Christy will win it but I'm pulling for Jason. What a hunk. Mario isn't half bad either and they can both dance. I can't stand Shannon. I think the only reason she is still there is Derek.

Christian is very good and I hate that he pulled that muscle last night and couldn't finish the dance.

Marissa (not Melissa) is very good and she is so perky. I'm glad they have someone who isn't all skin and bones for a change.

Duh! I just realized, while talking with a co-worker about DWTS that I haven't even watched last night's show. We got a little behind and watched last week's show last night. Get with it, Donna.

Christian really looked like he was in bad pain. The radio said this morning that he had torn a muscle & would be returning to the dr. today. I still think Kristi & Jason are going all the way, along with Mario maybe??

"I still think Kristi & Jason are going all the way, along with Mario maybe??"

Oh boy...my mind is in the gutter! LOL

Duh, right...Marissa not Melissa. When I typed Melissa I actually thought that it didn't sound right. I like that she's so perky too but I wish they'd straighten her hair once. I dont know why. I guess with all that puffy hair, I'd love to see how it looks straight, and I think it could put her into a whole new character if they did that...make it sleek and sexy and she might put on a whole new show!

I agree about Mario, he has the looks (he's adorable!!) and can definitely move, but I dont think he'll win.

I've been surprised by Jason, considering how big he is. He's really graceful and moves well for being such a big tall guy. And his arms...whew!!

Steph, I agree with you about Marissa's hair. she just has too much of it. Last night when it was "up" she almost took on a different persona.

Don't know who will go tonight but I am hoping it's Shannon. Poor girl is just not improving.

I hope Jason sticks around a bit longer. I'm not done looking at him yet. LOL!

Sorry to say this but I didn't even bother watching (or recording) the show last night. I have watched every season but this one just hasn't done it for me. I will probably watch the results show tonight, just because. I hope that Kristi wins, as she is very good. Hopefully next season will feature some stars with a little more "zing."

Is it just me or has the music been kind of weird this season? Usually they play well-known songs, but this season there are very few I've ever heard before. Maybe it is just me, but I have heard similar things from other people, too. I enjoy the dancing more when I know the music.

I agree about the music, but for me, it's more that the music just doesnt fit the dance and it's distracting. It really takes away from the dance when they play a totally inappropriate song.

I totally agree about the music not matching the dance. It is distracting, and takes away from the dance.
I can see how injuries can happen though. Surprised we don't see more of it. Those dances can get pretty rough!

In a way I think Kristy has an unfair advantage over the rest. Being a skater she has the decipline of doing graceful moves. I think most skaters do take dance lessons.

I just love that show. If I were to put money on it, it'd be on Jason. Besides being so darned cute, he's really graceful for such a big guy. But I think Kristy will probably win--either one would be deserving.

Has anyone else noticed Marissa seems to have lost quite a bit of weight? I need to start dancing!

I have to say something awful.

I kind of hope Kristy gets voted off. Not because she isn't the best dancer in the bunch, but because she has SUCH an unfair advantage over everybody else it really isn't much of a competition for the others.

She's been taking ballet since she was 4 and skating since she was 6!

In my opinion, this is an expertise level way beyond previous music video, rock show choreography, Olympic speed skating or football backgrounds.

This is a REALLY unfair advantage, and I think the producers really messed up on this one.

I hope Jason wins and Marissa stays in, just because they are really trying and their improvement is noticeable.

Kristy blew out of the gate from the start while the others have had to learn as they go. And no matter how much she says it's really, really hard I find it difficult to believe that someone with that much ballet experience has it as hard as the rest.

I'm with tally on this one.

Tally, I think the voters have always agreed with that. Seems like some of the best dancers weren't the winners... Mel B and that Tall blonde wrestler. They played up the part that she wrestled, and didn't say much about her being a professional cheerleader for four years. professional cheerleading is dancing. lol yeah, not with a partner, but still...

It's like saying, well, yeah, I can juggle while riding a unicycle, but boy, it's totally different juggling while standing on the ground! lol

she is a cutie though... she might pull it off because she is kind of "America's sweetheart!" lol her hubby is a DOLL!!!!!!!! woohee!

Shannon is beautiful! she looked great last night.. I think her partner is to short for her! lol MY oh MY she had the longest legs and arms! she should be parntered with the football player! LOL I think she will probably go home!

I too am worried about poor Christian. I hope he didn't make a bad decision since I don't think he has any chance of winning anyway.

I do think the right person was eliminated this week.

Agree that Kristi has an unfair advantage - but I so enjoy watching her. I just found out she skated pairs for a while. If this video clip is any indication, she'll be awesome in the finals when they can do as many lifts and tricks as they want.

I was hoping Derek would have stayed to finale. I think he is a fantastic dancer. But since he is gone I am rooting for Edetya (sp).

Even though Cheryl and Julianne are wonderful dancers they have both won already. I want to see someone else win.

Tally's right on. I totally agree.

I have to agree with Tally also. Its not fair to have such advantage over the ones that don't have any experience. She is very good but I would like to see her go. My vote is for Jason & Edyta.
