I have never watched much of this show, a few episodes here and there so I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know how much à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹pimpingà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ they do, but Brooke just doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t seem as good as they are saying, and Toni is getting lower scores than I think she deserves.

I can’t believe someone actually agrees with me. I think Brooke is great and is doing very well so far, but she is not the savior of all things dance like they are making her out to be.

I am glad she’s paired with Derek though. He’s a really fabulous dancer and has been kinda screwed the past couple seasons in the voting (kinda like Maks in that regard). I’m glad he’s with someone this season who seems to really have the potential to win.

And I also agree that Toni should be getting higher scores. I like her a lot. I tend to forget about her sometimes though, when mentally going through the dancers – that can’t be good.

I don’t get this show’s reasoning. The bottom two *may or may not be the bottom two vote getter’s*. WTF?

I’m thinking they will keep Rocco for at least another week for eye candy. So if I go on that assumption, they would keep Kim and get rid of Cloris. Decisions, decisions…

Like I said before, I don’t really watch the show faithfully and I don’t know about Lacey or her background all I know is that if a star can learn a little ballroom dance, certainly Lacey can throw in a little technique here and there to please Len. In the meantime, they are getting some seriousl buzz. I think once they get over Brooke, who is boring to me, Lance is going to be one of the last celebrities standing. They will figure the mix out. I am sure of it.

Dial Idol is no help at all. If I just knew the fanbase size of some of these peeps all would be good.

I definitely think it will be Cloris, Kim or Rocco going home, but don’t have a clue which one – I may change again before showtime.

Once Lance and Lacey suck up to Len and do a more traditional dance they are going to be tough to beat. ”

I think Lacey is great and personable, but she lacks the ballroom training and discipline that I think is needed for the show. If Lance had been paired with one of the ballroom ladies he would be running away with the competition by now. But, without the discipline, form and precision required by ballroom dancing — and this is a ballroom dancing “competition” — I also think they will fall short of the final. BUT if I am wrong and they do become more precise in form and steps, while maintaining some originality, they’re true contenders and will go long.

As for the performances, I think Kim was far and away the worst of the night. I’m not sure if her “fanbase” (whatever that is) will rally to save her, and she’s my bet to be voted off. Cloris is just a hoot and I hope she stays another week or two; I think a lot of older women and fans of her earlier work are putting in some votes for her! I think Rocco will have more women voting for him because, well, he’s a babe. I also don’t think he was the worst – that honor is reserved for Kim.

But even so, do you guys think Kim deserved the smackdown she got from the judges? I mean, I am definitely not a fan of hers but even I thought they were extremely tough. She must have refused to rehearse or something, because they were P O’ed!

I thought I heard him say, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“And I liked it.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  Did anyone else hear that?

I heard it too. Just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a kiss from the opposite sex….it’s the other stuff that prolly give him the heebie, jeebies, lol. I must say it looked like they both enjoyed it.

But, the video that I am watching again and again is à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  Lance and Lacey.
Fresh, exciting, great music, great dance moves.

I have rewatched their performance a lot of times too. I love Lance and Lacey. Since Lacey is the pro, it’s up to her to plan out the dance routines. I think that the combination of her being new to the show and not doing traditional routines is rubbing Len the wrong way. I hope that she can find a balance of modern and traditional dance moves so as to not piss off Len every week.

Since the dancers don’t pick their own music, I imagine that Lance laughed when he heard the song choice for this week. He has a great sense of humor. Lance’s boyfriend is such a chill guy. He was there last night and he looked like he enjoyed their performance.

I cannot think of a hotter couple than Maks and Mel. Misty will never be what Maks wants and I don’t like how he is treating her, unless this is a story line?

Alright, Lacey does have an attitude, but I love what she is doing with Lance. I look forward to seeing them next week.

Ohh, Lance kissed a girl, but he probably didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t like it.

I thought I heard him say, “And I liked it.” Did anyone else hear that?

I think Cloris needs to go home. She seemed very exhausted to me. Now, I hope there is no story line about her health.

Once Lance and Lacey suck up to Len and do a more traditional dance they are going to be tough to beat.

Lance – Totally agree with above. They are not front runners like Joey Fatone was, but they really gotta play by the rules sometimes. Judges scores do count! Keep in mind that Joey had the fanbase and the judges high scores and still lost. I’m tired of ranting about Lacey, so I’ll just leave it to the dancing and the vote. Entertaining but lacking in proper technique.

Brooke – I just love her! She’s such a surprise, but being an early frontrunner is going to be tough to keep up. The judges will get pickier as time goes on. She’s been great 3 episodes running. Love Derek too

Warren – Dude has got it going on. Looks like they messed up the end? Still, like Len said – that footwork coming down at the beginning was awesome! Talk about a fanbase – he’s an athlete. Need I say more?

Toni – Dark horse? She was really good tonight. I think better than last week (and she was really good last week). Alec the singer – yikes! I know it was a joke, but still.

Cody – PokeSmot might be on to something here. I think He’s the darkhorse. First of all, he’ll get the Jonas Bros vote. Second he’s got the fabulous former champ, Julianne, as his teacher. Somethin’ is brewing with this kid.

Misty – I love Maks, but she’s not gonna get him in the finals. Sorry. I did not like this Paso. He’s doing what he can, but watching this I kept thing of Maks & Mel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z_gxLpp0vk He really loved dancing with her.

Maurice – love his enthusiasm, but he’s still so rough.

Susan – BIG fanbase. Just kinda boring for me

Rocco – Could he be the one going home? Not so good this week.

Cloris – She IS the entertainment factor right now. I see why people are getting tired of her though. Still, can I attempt to move like her if I get to 83?

Kim – Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Can america stop voting her now.

I have no idea who is going home. My guesses are: Rocco, Cloris or Kim.

After Ep. 3 – my favs are Brooke and Warren.

Best Dancers Tonite for me were:

- Misty & Max; Misty’s aggressiveness worked for her this week, but, she needs to connect with her partner and the audience. Mentally, she seems as if she’s somewhere else.

- Warren & Kym; Great footwork. He had the best footwork of the night, along with Lance.

- Lance & Lacey; Great footwork, also. I didn’t notice the spagetti arms. And did any notice that during rehearsal, Lance had on Cookie’s shirt from the AI7 Tour? I wonder if Cookie left it at Lacey’s on accident? :ponder_tb:

- Cody & Julianne; Cody has a dancers body (I never noticed before). He could be the dark horse of this competition. I was impressed with him this week, which is surprising to me, because I haven’t liked his dancing in the past.

Everyone else is in danger of going home :devil_tb:

Peace Out & Poke Smot!

I have never watched much of this show, a few episodes here and there so I don’t know how much ‘pimping’ they do, but Brooke just doesn’t seem as good as they are saying, and Toni is getting lower scores than I think she deserves. Warren is going to make it far, dude can dance. He is the dancingess big man I have ever seen, and I have seen some dancing big guys.

Susan Lucci’s got to channel her inner Erica Kana and shake that little booty, she has the moves, she just too damn tentative.

The volleyball player is too awkward for me, she doesn’t have the grace of Laila Ali, she’s very masculine, and I just can’t help catching her little stumbles, and them damn thighs.

Warren and Lance are the most fun to watch.

So who should go, Rocco, who regressed a little this week, but is so damn cute, or Cloris who frankly was better, but still not good enough, and tonight she actually seemed a little more doddering than last week, as if she weren’t quite there. So who goes, and who stays? Hmmmm

I was kind of disappointed tonight. I think Lacey and Lance were the most fun to watch.

I will have to think some more about who I will cast my vote for in the pool :unsure_tb:

Oh if they had only paired Brooke with Maks!!!

You would have had to scoop me off the floor!!!
