I'm not. That was just WRONG!!

Linda

Me too! :)

I was so shocked! That was wrong, wrong, wrong.

GEEZ!! I forgot to watch it. Can someone email me and tell me the outcome?

Unbelievable! Even the professional partner of the one who stayed looked shocked.

Sorry I don't think it was wrong reflective of how it should be judged IMHO

I was very surprised. That "star" mush have a HUGE fan base.

I'm happy at who stayed. That's the whole point of the show, take someone out of their element and make them a dancer. You can't get anymore out of your element than who stayed and has given 110%.

That was HUGE shocker. I don't watch the second show and flick over at the end. I could not believe it. Someone who doesn't deserve it has a huge fan base. This was so wrong.

I don't think it was wrong at all. I think it was 100% the right person to go home that did go home. The person who left has had many stumbles in recent dances, whereas the person who stayed has improved on a constant basis since the beginning.

The person who left had a professional partner who is an amazingly gifted choreographer; who managed to choreograph routines that made it appear as if the celebrity were dancing when, in fact, all the celeb did was sort of move around a bit. If you have had real dance experience (other than going to high school dances and going "clubbing" doing the dating thing), you will know that this is true. Flashy doesn't mean good, and the one who went home was flashy, but not that terrific a dancer.

Yep, I agree, I'm happy with who stayed.

OK, KT gang, it is the morning after. I fell asleep (not feeling well) missed this show & Housewives of NY. Who was sent home?????? If you can't post here, please, someone Email me. It sounds like it was quite an upset. Dottie

I was very happy with last night's "shocker" on DWTS. Like someone posted, the person that left was flashy and had an excellent pro that was able to bring out the razzle-dazzle in their performance. We have talked before about people that are already dancers and the fact that they should not be competing with people from other walks of life that don't involve dancing. The person that left was an entertainer and I'm sure there were a lot of dance moves involved in his/her act. But...the person that stayed was truly out of their element and had to learn everything from the beginning. I think that continual improvement in the performances should count a lot in this competition.

I was also thrilled with the outcome. The person who stayed is the most improved.

Absolutely long for a season where each and every celebrity is equal...that means NO professional dance experience.

Coming out in the open, the one who got booted off was Lil Kim.
I didn't care for her at all.

Ty stayed and he has improved conistently each week. He's still uncomfortable, and completely out of his element, but his improvements are outstanding.

Every year they have people with dance experience, Lil Kim and Melissa (ballet) and they have a definite advantage (obviously) over the ones who don't. This part of it is unfair.

Ok, it's the morning after so I'll spill the beans. Lil Kim and Derek went home. Ty is still in it. I thought his Tango was wonderful but his Rumba was like going back to the first week.

I like Ty and he has really improved but I don't think he was better than Lil Kim. I'm hoping Gilles or Melissa win. Gilles is my favorite though.

Linda

Booooo! Hissssssssss!

Lil Kim should not have gone home.

Holy Moly, was that a shocker! Mr. Tally almost slid off his recliner.

As much as I adore Ty and think he's just about the sweetest guy around, this was so not right. Lil Kim was so much better - more musical, more flexible. Ty looked miserable at the end saying goodbye to Kim. I think he felt guilty.

But I can understand why fans voted for Ty.

As we were watching last night, we were commenting on what a great group of stars they had on this season. When they first announced who was going to be on, we didn't recognize anyone.

And yet, they are now all so familiar and likeable. Not only is is fun to watch the competition, but it's also fun to get to know these people we didn't know before.

lil kim should not have gone, she was one of the contenders! she spent as much time in the #1 & #2 spots as Ty spent on the bottom. he got all 7's in one of mondays dances for pete's sake lol...just because he has improved in some dances says he was really horrible in the beginning and is just starting to improve to the level of the bottom people now. ~ liz

You think Lil Kim was a shocker? What about Sabrina, she was fantastic! I didn't like Lil Kim, too much booty bouncing, this is BALLROOM not GO GO!

I'm very disappointed..it's becoming painful to watch the cowboy. He has improved, but he's not consistent in his improvement.

Derek was robbed last night. i don't care how well Ty was improving...he should have gone home.

All the judges were astounded she went so me w/ no dancing abilities had good company. Melissa should be the next to go since she was a dancer and had experience before. Ty did well from where he came from..no experience but he isn't that good. I now want Gilles.

I am still cheering for Shawn. As long as she comes in second or third I will be happy.

that's not right...ty is sweet guy but come on!

I love Ty and like where he is in the competition but I don't think he'll win I do like Gilles as far as presentation and strength on the floor. A man's job is to frame the woman and he does a great job and looks good doing it. I don't remember him having prior dancing experience (prof)

I was surprised last night for sure, but was okay with it, because she was not the one I would want to win. (I am hoping for Melissa or Shawn.) But at this point in the competition someone who is very good will go home. I truly believe that if the judges, especially Len, gave their criticisms in a kinder fashion and did not tell the stars to "hit the trail" etc. Ty would probably already be gone. Many stars have probably outstayed their "abilities" because of the judges remarks (Jerry Springer, Cloris, and one could pick out stars from every season). I don't think we (the voters) like it when people are ridiculed as part of their critiques. I know that I don't. Anyway, what do you think?

I don't vote, but if I did I wouldn't vote to spite the judges' negative comments.

This is as much a popularity contest as it is a talent one, and I think people keep contestants like Cloris and Jerry on because they like them.

Marie Osmond had all her doll collectors voting for her.

Personally, I don't like the public vote.

This is a *dance competition* with JUDGES. Judging the dancing is what they're supposed to do. I feel that the public vote is more of a popularity contest. Sure, Ty seems to be a sweetheart of a nice guy, but he certainly did not outdance Lil Kim.

Off my soap box..... :)
