ETA: And actually, it DOES benefit me because I put all my points on Jeff last night, AND I have no idea who is going tonight. So I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have to worry about it because I got all the points for the week already. Heh.

That’s the way I’m reading it. I really have no idea, but I bet it’s Kim, Ted, Cloris, or the bond HM guy. Like I said, I have no idea.

Here’s what the “note” from the admin says:

Two people will be eliminated in week 1 – one on Tuesday night and one on Wednesday – you will receive the points you allocate to both of these contestants. First picks due before the Tuesday show.

So, basically, we have 20 points to allocate for the week. Let’s say I put 10 on Jeffrey and 10 on Kim because I wasn’t sure who would go last night. Well, Jeff was eliminated last night, but say, Cloris is eliminated tonight. So, in that case, I’d only get 10 points. Whereas, if I put all 20 points on Jeff, I’d get all 20 points because he was eliminated last night.

So, we’ll still get points, as long as we put them on the people who were eliminated. We just don’t get two separate chances to get them. It really just benefits the people who split their points, or put points on someone other than Jeff for last night.

At least, that’s the way I’m reading it.

Actually, I picked Jeffrey and got all the points there were to get. Sort of weird, if you ask me.

if you split points between 2 you get the points for one or both that go home this week

or i’m losing my mind and not reading right hehe

Toni, Misty, & Brooke did really well too. Cloris is funny, but I think she’s overdoing it and it’s becoming a little distracting…and yeah, she’ll last maybe another week or two.

I feel sorry for Mark because I like him, but don’t like Kim at all. I just about spit out my drink at her “I’m reserved” comment.

I’m thinking it’s gonna be Mambo McGinley or Non-shakin’ Ass Kim gone, although she might pick up a few votes for going last.

ETA: MJ, what happened to the pool link? I neglected to bookmark it and it appears to have disappeared from the side of the page. Does anyone have the link? Thanks.

However, honestly, I think what hurt her most was her partner doing extra things, jumping around and as Len said *overcompensating.* I don’t call it that, but I do call it *showing up your partner.*

We know you can dance, Mark. There is no reason to throw in extra tricks and go overboard trying to make your partner look less than you. You are supposed to dance as a team and that extra shaking that Mark did, made it look like a solo performance where he was trying to win a job.

OTOH, Derek let Brooke have a solo (yes, she was capable of it, ) and I’m not suggesting that Mark let Kim do a solo, but HE shouldn’t be overdancing either. It’s a couples contest and he should keep the tricks to a minimum. His dancing like a jumping bean only made poor Kim look worse.

I know it’s far from *poor* Kim, but let’s give the girl a chance and even if the viewers don’t, her partner should. Shame on you, Mark!!!!

Rocco is a cutie. PJ or Bax (canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t remember who said it, sorry lol) pointed out in chat tonight that he bears a slight resemblance to Michael Johns at times. lol.

Ahem, Sarah, it was me, thank you very much!

I had a few more thoughts since I last posted…

I pretty much exactly echo MJ’s thoughts.

And…I’m still rather disturbed that a woman older than my grandmother was talking about “shaking her coconuts.” Disgusting.

Oh and about that song that Maks and Misty danced to, “Black Mambo.” Does anyone remember when Benji & Heidi did an AWESOME mambo to that song on SYTYCD?? Hearing the song brought back good memories of that for me.

I loved the humor in Cloris & Corky’s routine, then she got carried away by talking over the judges comments.

Maks! Welcome back!

Kim, Ted, Cloris – take your pick – they’ll all go before the others.

I was thinking about Maks dancing with Mel B… they were probably the hottest couple to appear on the show. Just my opinion… It is starting off with quite some fun.

Here’s my problem with Lance – and it’s not Lance. It’s Lacey. I feel like she’s the least qualified “professional” of the bunch. That’s why she’s got crazy techniques – “transformers, dog peeing” whatev. She’s no Cheryl Burke who harped on Maurice about “Rules and Technique”. Lacey is covering up her lack if technique with rogue choreography that is going to get them kicked out of the competition sooner than they should. I like creativity and fresh interpretations of ballroom dance, but you need to play by the rules. I’ve watched this show too many times too see what Len and the other judges are looking for and Lacey better fix her technique or poor Lance will be out. In my opinion, their quickstep was not good. That’s the dance that requires the most technique (well, that and the Tango), and they looked limp. Ugh. It was not quick.

Brooke – on the other hand showed what a quickstep should look like, as did Toni!
Brooke was downright amazing! She’s becoming one of my favorites, but she needs to smile a little more and shake off those nerves.

Toni – made it through! yay! And she looked great on the dance floor.

Misty’s – arm movements bug me. They were a little awkward in the mambo, but she did pretty well. You gotta love the Maks! That man is HOTT!

Maurice – did much better to me than last night. He seemed more comfortable. I like his work ethic.

Cloris – oh my. She really is entertaining. Corky is workin’ it on their behalf. Holy Crap I haven’t laughed so hard watching this show – ever! She’s gotta be safe for another week

Warren – I was nervous for him. I didn’t think he could pull it off, but he did. Technique was faulty, but that big guy dancing around like he did. Wow.

Ted – oh my. It’s wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great. If he makes it through this week, he’ll definitely be on the chopping block soon after. I think while watching this, I mostly watched his partner Inna, ’cause she can dance!

Cody – I just like this kid. I don’t know why. I think he’s funny. He’s doing a pretty good job thanks to Julianne. I look forward to their next dance.

Susan – For me she improved, but she’s so dang BORING to watch. yawn, yawn, yawn.

Rocco – nice! That was hot! I think the injury to Karina really plagued them last night. What a comeback!

Kim – terrible, terrible, terrible. Why she can’t shake her butt, I have no idea. Please tell me she’ll be voted off tomorrow. PLEASE.

Sorry about the Lacey rant (and I want them to do well, I didn’t hate her on SYTYCD), but until I see her act like a professional I will continue to call her out. I remember her learning the viennese waltz last year on SYTYCD! That dance is on the DWTS list. Hopefully she can teach what she barely knows.
