Dancing with the Stars..who's watching and waddya think!

[Cerise]

I love DWTS!!! I hope Nicole wins because she is very good! I wish Kate would loosen up and let it go...she needs to have fun and stop being so paranoid and a control freak. Buzz is 80 and doing okay for 80 but he needs to go. It was nice to have him but now it's time to get serious with eliminations. Jake is making me laugh, and he's trying hard. The fine Chad is stiff and needs to watch his posture because Cheryl is so much shoter than him even in dancing heels. Pam is doing good but she's too silly sexy, I mean we know she looks good but she doesn't have to act dingy with it on every show. Niecy is fun to watch and she's having a ball. Erin is tall but doing okay so are the rest.

I didn't get to watch~my daughter had on AI so now I am curious. Who got the boot???

[Reese1]

Ok, this is my first time watching DWTS!

I was curious to watch Kate & Chad (he plays for the Bengals, I can't help myself.)

To be honest if it was totally based on dance performance either Buzz or Kate should have gone, I wasn't surprised that Buzz didn't go, but I was shocked Kate didn't and wasn't even in the bottom two!
I would have rather seen Pam go over Shannen though, she's annoying!

Again, I've never watched before, but I thought part of the draw was to see celebrities who aren't dancers try and accomplish this. So I really don't get selecting Nicole for the show at all!
She's good, but she is a singer/dancer! I would expect for her to be good!

Are you saying Shannen is gone? I get what you are saying, but from what I have seen over the years, it is also a popularity contest. Nicole may be a singer/dancer and that def. gives her an advantage, but any contestant with any type of training such as figure skaters, gymnasts, etc. have an advantage in their own way, and they've all done very well on the show. They've had training in dance too. Even actors have to play the part and sometimes they do better pulling that off than the ones with some dance training. So all in all I think it balances out. But then you get Kate who is truly raw, or Shannen who is so nervous or sensitive at it and it shows.

What a shock! Looks like it's turning into a personality contest instead
of a dance contest, however, Kate has no personality. She's like a
motionless, expressionless maniquin. I watched her facial expressions
last night and there were none. The only time she did something was
when Tony joined her again after one of his performances and touched
her and she put her arms up to get him off because I would assume
he was sweaty from the dance routine. The camera caught it but
moved away fast but I saw it, did anyone else?
Buzz is a honey but he does not deserve a second go at it. Shannon
should have stayed. IMO. Pam, she's funny, always ready to preform
for the camera. How many times did she purse her lips last night?
They had to be knumb when the show was over. LOL
Oh well it was entertaining and I love watching the pros dance.
I feel bad for those who really work hard and those that don't or can't
do better get to stay.

Again, first time watching. So I'm not sure who all the previous celebrities have been.
I see your point about gymnasts & figure skaters though, but I think someone who has a profession where actual dancing is a part of their every day routine isn't as much of a raw talent to watch grow on the show, IMO.
I guess I'm just not as impressed or intrigued by Nicole because I would expect to see good dancing. I'm more entertained watching the people who are fresh and new at it.

Darn! I really don't think Shannon should have been the one to go home last night. I thought she was doing really well.

Honestly, I thought Buzz, Kate or Chad should have been the ones to go.

Kate lost me last night with her somber face. This is a good chance for her to change some of the negative perceptions of her - I hope she works on that this week! No matter what - she should have smiled and been happy to be there. And that goes for Chad, too. I'm sure it's nerves and a desire to "win" but not smiling was a biggie for me.

Nicole is a dancer - and darn good one at that - but like the judges said everyone (except Kate) was either an actor or athlete - both having been put in front of people to perform.

I do think some have an advantage but like someone else said - it ends up being a popularity contest because the final vote comes from regular people instead of the judges.

I absolutely loved the dances that the pros put on! Wow!!!

[MauiGirl]

I agree, the dance numbers by the pros were fantastic, worth watching just for that.

The Beach Boys performance.... well being an old fan of theirs, it disappointing and barely worth watching.

Still shocked that it wasn't Buzz or Kate who left the show last night, but for sure the remaining contestants are surprised and nervous now too. Anything can happen.

[MauiGirl]

So, it's a new week, who watched? I'm watching now and was hoping some of you had comments on highlights (or lows) again.

After last weeks surprise, I wonder what will happen this week. Can Buzz actually stick around another week?

[megansmomma]

I missed last weeks elimination episode but when I heard that Shannen was sent home I was disappointed. How will DWTS have a "Girls Gone Wild" themed week now that she was eliminated

So here is my take on this weeks DWTS ~They were told to tell a story with their dance this week. Boy did they ALL tell a story..........

Evan and Anna were great! He's has a little bit of an ego which was just a little on my nerves in the pre-dance interview but they looked pretty darn good when they took the floor with Anna~who BTW reminds me of a very young Susan Susan Sarandon.

Buzz well I know he is in his own words "An American Hero" just cannot dance He started the routine carrying a big bag. Either Buzz needs to GO home or GO TO A HOME I think it should just be a pity vote so that he can get back onto the golf course. The judges gave Buzz and Ashly 3 and 4 and it wasn't a count down for a moon blastoff!

Jake and his partner Chelsey look cute together but I think the Walk Like and Egyptian was a little lame. I give him an 8 for those dimples and a 9 for a cute butt

Neicy and Louis did a pretty good job but I didn't understand their "story" dance. In the preinterview they said they were dancing about an interracial couple but really how do your dance that story? He did swing her around a couple of times and I give her for those moves. She looks like she is having a great time too!

When Chad dances with Cheryl they look like The Jolly Green Giant and the little Green Sprout. His looked so uncomfortable "trying" to dance it was kind of sad. He's got a nice 6 pack but really I think he needs to pack. One of the judges told him he danced "like a crackhead" so now I know what a crackhead dancing looks like I guess. Probably not this week but I can't imagine he will be around too much longer.

Pammy got a visit from Charo! Oh boy Pam and Charo cooty cooing together on one screen? How would have ever imagine those 2 together BUSTin out the moves as flamingo dancers. Pam's dress was too long not only for Pam but for the dance too I just know at some point they aer going to bring a POLE out for Pam and was really hoping that was what Buzz had in his bag. Mark my words there will be a pole!

Aiden and Edyta did pretty good and his little girl is adorable! Loved his supporters on the sidelines

Erin and Marc looked really good together and she was blindfolded for her dance. I'm sure they will stick around for a while.

Then came TRAINWRECK Kate! She is a WHINER and a total beast! Once again my husband did commentary on her moves or lack of...........He is not convinced that the reason that her eyes are crossed is because of giving birth to 8 kids. She is just a mess!!! I read on US that she stopped in the middle of training to get a 90 minute mani/pedi. Those nails looked like something a hooker would be sporting not a mom to 8. Her crossed eyes were highlighted with a paintroller full of makeup and the hair AND she hasn't even made it onto the dance floor yet---that was just the rehearsal! She cried again this week and I cried as hubby yelled at the TV~again. She is stiff as a board, full of herself, and she can't crack a smile to save her life! If she stays for another week I am going for a mani to have one giant pointy fingernail to use to poke out my eyes!

Nicole and Derek were GREAT! I can't imagine that they will not be this season's winners. You know now that I am thinking about it I want to see Nicole and Pammy in a POLE OFF the Pussycat and the Cougar now that would be some interesting competition!

[ARCHIE]

Buzz has got to go. Sorry, I know he's an Amerian Hero, he should have left
it at that. I feel so bad for him, why put yourself out there like that when
you can barely walk. It's just rediculous. Then Kate can follow the next week
because she's just useless and talentless. She just looks so misreable all
the time. Nicole is great and will probably win. It's time for the show to
get serious and get rid of those that are just taking up space.
Love watching the pro's dance. OMG they are awsome.

[MauiGirl]

Megansmomma.... you just made my day. I LOVE your critiques.... now that's what I'm talking about. That's what I was looking for last night.

The Pros dancing on results night last week were so darn good, I'm looking forward to watching just for that (oh, and to see if there is another surprise upset like last week). Buzz just has to go, he's not only bad, he's boring. Kate on the other hand is bad, but it's almost comedic to watch her train wreck performances.

Megansmomma, I'll be watching for your reviews again next week, so don't miss it, ok?

[TatumsMom]

I will hate to see Kate leave only because I love hating her. Okay, strong words but her and I go way back. I've fussed at her through my tv screen ever since J&K+8 started. Sad, sad woman. She just can't loosen up for anything, can she? Gonna be boring when she leaves.
