Ya know the thing with Kendra is that she wants to get rid of the "stripper" persona then she gets up on the table by the judges and does that shaking. I understand the dance she was doing is that type of dance but a little dignity please!!! She has children!! She has done so well with the elegant dances she doesn't need to do that. She says she doesnt feel like a lady--- hello??? I thought she was going. I hope soon!!
I think Ralph and his partner handled the fall with dignity. They did great. It's nice to see him loosen up. Pia did good but does she know any other songs?? I still have a bad vibe about her. She doesn't seem genuine. I just can't put my finger on it.

Am I really the only one watching? Hasn't been the most exciting season but I'm wondering who will win.

Lisa and Pic · 05-17-2011, 01:30 AM

Oh, I am watching Sandy.

Who do you think is going to win this season?

alaskayorkie · 05-17-2011, 01:43 AM

I think this week was a preview of the final. Hines and the Disney girl are the final 2. I'm bummed. I was rooting for the Karate Kid.

Hines grew on me, and I loved his back story.

MauiGirl · 05-17-2011, 10:14 AM

Well, Lisa and Mike, I'm just really glad to have some company watching DWTS. I was feeling kinda lonely and dorky here

.

I think the judges have been rather sporadic this season, many random unexpected comments from each of them. They all have had somewhat moody, cranky criticisms at times that surprised me.

I've been surprised at their support of Kirstie at times, though happy for her considering her age and other obstacles. I'm quite impressed with Hines, yet Chelsea is right up there too. I could flip a coin between them and probably be as accurate as the voters.

Thanks for keeping me company...

I'm watching! I have enjoyed the season more than I thought I would at first. At this point, I enjoy all 4 couples left and it won't bother me who wins. I have to say though, over the years I have really enjoyed the football players. I can't remember any that were disappointments and what ordinary, kind, talented men they are with great stories. Gotta love a guy who gives all his credit to his mom!

Kristie is from my area and many here are rooting for her.

alaskayorkie · 05-17-2011, 12:03 PM

Speaking of football players, wasn't that fall in practice frightening? A 200+ pound football player crashing down on your neck!

I have so much respect for the pro dancers. They're doing these complicated moves with people who have little or no dance experience. The chances for injury to them have to be high, as Kym found out. Thankfully, she seems to be OK but she learned her lesson. And everyone talks about how hard the stars work -- and they do -- but the pros work twice as hard and never complain about their rough schedules, which include following the stars around to practice at times.

And Cha Cha, I agree with you too. There's no one I really hate left in the top 4. I do think Kirstie's scores have been inflated at times, but she really has done a remarkable job. I really like her as a person.

That fall was so scary!! It sure broght Hines to tears. I am guessing being in such good physical shape saved her from a catastrophic injury on that one. I was surprised they showed that on TV.

Patti · 05-17-2011, 01:13 PM

I was hoping Karate Kid would win but the judges have been so hard on him. I would like Hines to win now. I really think they are going easier on Kirstie.

They ARE hard on the Karate Kid! I think technically he's as good or better than any of them, but he just doesn't have the musicality. I will say this -- I wish I'd aged as gracefully as him!

Ringo1 · 05-17-2011, 03:53 PM

I'm watching! I don't know who I want to win; I'm conflicted! I really like the Karate Kid and Kirstie Alley but I feel that Chelsea is probably the best dancer.

My son gets so mad that I take over the tv on Monday nights! Dumbest show ever . . according to him.

You got that right. Now can we dish a little about Karate Kids butt pads last night....

Did they improve his performance or look like a sloppy big diaper? Hey, at least he's trying, and pulling out all the stops.

Wow. The judges did not like their dance AT ALL. Didn't they keep telling him to be more sexy??

Anyhoo, sorry to see him go; I really liked him and enjoyed watching him dance. He also seemed like a really nice guy. Course I like Hines too.

Does anyone else think the spouses could get a bit jealous watching this show? The stars and their dance partners always seem really, really close. I'll be there's more than dancing going on at times.

Not saying that about my Ralphie though!!!

MauiGirl · 05-18-2011, 09:51 AM

The judges were surprisingly tough on Ralph. You are right, he was so wholesome and sweet, and when he went for a sexier performance, they really got slammed. Ouch.

So the winner will be announced next week, the 24th.

I was surprised with 3 left, that they didn't eliminate one more, then head off between the final 2 the following week.

It was fun last night to see some of the past seasons' contestants.
