Thanks!

joy n said...

Ah, the Samba.

monty924 said...

Wow, page 3 already. Nice! :)

joy n said...

Just the two of us again. Where'd everybody go?

monty924 said...

I actually agreed with Len on that. Go figure?!?!!!

monty924 said...

Not sure where everyone is.

Kelly coming up and she's not looking to thrilled. I hope she does a good job tonight. I don't want her in the double elimination this week.

joy n said...

Me, too. Also thought it to be too sexy and don't think a Fox Trot should be sexy as much as graceful. JMO.

monty924 said...

That Jive was fantastic. Fast and footwork was spot on.

joy n said...

Don't like Aaron much but have to admit that was great footwork and great energy.

monty924 said...

Yay, a 29! I can't say that Aaron and Karina are at the top of my list, but they deserved that.

joy n said...

Kelly is getting on my nerves withh all her complaining.

monty924 said...

I would haved liked to see her smile a little more, but I liked it for Kelly. She's always looks a little scared when she dances.

joy n said...

Yeah, she does.

joy n said...

Is she the youngest this season?

monty924 said...

The team dance always seems so one sided, because of the dances they choose. Paso and Cha Cha (a couple of seasons ago/Susan Lucci), but the Paso and Tango will be more even, I think.

monty924 said...

Gag me!

monty924 said...

I think Kelly is the youngest, and she's kind of been babied by Ozzy her whole life. Daddy's little girl... not that that's bad. I was one myself. :)

monty924 said...

Uh, oh! Foot caught in her hem and one a lift. Wait and see if CA caught it.

joy n said...

VERY SEXY! And loved that version of "The Look of Love".

monty924 said...

She didn't. I thought both her feet came off the floor right after her foot got caught. Hmm!

joy n said...

Maybe missed a 10 because of that hem thing.

joy n said...

Team dances next. Kelly's with Donny and Joanna. Team Tango.

Mya, Aaron, Mark and Michael - Team Paso.

joy n said...

Hope Aaron's big head doesn't come back after this week. He'd finally stopped bragging he would win this.

monty924 said...

The Paso is my favorite dance, but I think team tango is stronger with the pros on the team. The team Paso with Kym, Warren, Derek and Brooke was great.

joy n said...

Michael's improved the last couple of weeks but I think he may go home tomorrow. Mark or Kelly may be the second one to go tomorrow. I'm thinking Mark may go before Kelly, tho.

monty924 said...

Fair critique and scores on the Paso Doble.

joy n said...

I HATE when people call when I'm watching one of my fave shows. Looks like they did well with the Paso Doble (which I also love). Good scores.

monty924 said...

Me too, Joyn. Kelly seems to have the audience vote behind her.

joy n said...

They seem to be passing the flu around to each other.

monty924 said...

The Paso was good. The solos weren't as strong as the past couple of seasons but it was a good dance.

monty924 said...

True about the flu. It's strange that none of the celebs have caught it from their partners. I read somewhere this week that Edyta had it as well.

joy n said...

Monty, is that Matt from Survivor in your avatar? Great eye candy!

monty924 said...

That was fabulous and to Bon Jovi! Great song for the Tango.

monty924 said...

Yeah, Mick! I have him, along with Jackie in the pool.

monty924 said...

Fun show. Have a good night!

joy n said...

Loved that Tango! Excellent scores.

joy n said...

G'nite, Monty.

joy n said...

Monty, I just realized that Anna Trebunskaya who subbed for Lacey last night, had been Chuck Liddell's partner. How soon we forget, eh?

joy n said...

Also, that pro dancer in the opening was Elena Grineko from seasons 3 & 4.

ML said...

I agree about Kelly and the complaining.

Aaron is an example of what attitude can do to you on this show. Excellent dancer, bizarre histrionics. His partner Karina has always been one of the best pros, but it is her attitude that has done her in. Ever since she and Mario Lopez got robbed in season 3(?) her attitude has been her nemisis. So it will be interesting to see how the attitudinally challenged couple does in the end.

Mark and Lacey were starting to gel and now this. I hope it isn't his last dance. Btw, is it another double elimination tonight? Why are they rushing it?

With another double elimination tonight, anything can and probably will happen. I couldn't help myself and peeked at the Dial Idol site. I won't mention what they have to say other than the very bottom is quite shocking and not who you would think. They aren't necessarily the best predictor for this show because they don't take into account the online voting.

I just want Kelly and Mark safe after last night. I felt bad for Mark. Actually, I think Kelly and Louis finished in 3rd or 4th with the judges scores, but its up to the judges if they land in the bottom 2 and 3. I don't think they would keep Kelly or Mark over a Joanna or Mya or even Aaron.

joy n said...

I just hope it's not Donny going home yet. He's hardly the best dancer but I love his attitude.

joy n said...

I don't like Aaron's dramatics nor do I care for Kelly's complaining. She does act a bit spoiled. Michael tries hard but he's not good enough for this comp.

Well, Kelly is safe. I know that makes you happy, Monty. She really messed up on that redo tonight of her Tango from last night. Not surprised about Mark being in final 3. I imagine Michael will be also. Donny or Aaron may join them. Sorry, Monty, but Kelly should be in bottom 3, I think.

ROD STEWART tonight!

monty924 said...

Hey Joyn! Glad Kelly's safe and Donny. I'm really afraid Mark is going home and now Michael.

I know Kelly isn't going to win it, but I just enjoy her smile. When she isn't complaining she's adorable.

joy n said...

Whew, Aaron is the 3rd. Surprised but not surprised,

monty924 said...

Dial Idol had Mya and Dimitry dead last in the call in votes.

There's no way the judges will keep Mark or Michael over Aaron and Karina, and I doubt Aaron and Karina are the lowest and automatically gone. Sad!

joy n said...

He didn't look happy at all.

joy n said...

Wow! They got that one wrong, didn't they?

Here's Rod!

joy n said...

Thinking Michael and Mark will be in the danceoff.

joy n said...

Meant Aaron and Mark. Sheesh!

monty924 said...

Oh no! How sad for Michael. I hope Mark pulls out the dance of his life and Aaron flubs his.

joy n said...

Michael should be proud of how far he's made it in this competition.

monty924 said...

I forgot to mention Rod Stewart. Always great to see him perform.

joy n said...

Me, too, Monty. Much rather see Mark still there next week.

monty924 said...

Aaron and Karina's dance is a Jive and we know what the judges gave them last night. Ugh!

monty924 said...

Great job, Mark and Lacey!

joy n said...

I liked it AND the music!

joy n said...

Aaron and Karina, two of my least fave peeps on the show.

joy n said...

Not looking good for Mark.

monty924 said...

They both did well. I think Mark is going home. :(

joy n said...

Well, at least the call-in voters don't think much of Aaron. Maybe next week? Can only hope.

joy n said...

I thought Mark did very well, too, but it sounds like the judges have already made up their minds.

joy n said...

Oh, crap!

monty924 said...

Sniff!!!

Aaron's been in the bottom two twice now, or is it three? I don't think he has the fan base to win this.

joy n said...

I really hope he doesn't!

monty924 said...

How cute. I though they were going to bust out the Chicken Dance there. Well, goodnight Joyn. Have a good evening.

joy n said...

Well, g'nite, Monty.

Margo said...

***DWTS POOL UPDATE***

It's about time - I'm out of the pool. Micheal needed to go. Sorry Mark was eliminated on a week his partner was sick.

Aaron Carter - gaylos
Kelly Osbourne - Nana in NW
Mya - Rbennie
Donny Osmond - Sydney, Rochelle
Joanna Krupa - Tessa

Ashley Hamilton - Witt
Macy Gray - Meb
Kathy Ireland - Nina
Tom Delay - jennasmom
Debi Mazar - Monty924
Chuck Liddell - ML
Natalie Coughlin - Donna in FL
Melissa Joan Hart - Becky
Louie Vito - Delee
Micheal Irvin - Margo
Mark DacascosPDXGranny

I think Mya and Aaron's cocky attitude is going to turn off America's vote and it will be Kelly and Donny in the final.
With Joanna coming in 3rd.

Margo aka the Lifeguard

monty924 said...

Margo, I completely agree with your last comment. Mya and Aaron will not win this for that very reason.

This is an interesting read. Its Maks' blog for TVGuide for this week. 11/04/09 He absolutely hit the nail on the head regarding this season.

meb said...

Hey Monty...good site for Maks... loved his comments and he's spot on! I think we're all getting a little tired of Carrie Anne's foot lift off floor...cut them a break... and for Bruno's stupid comments. The show isn't about them, it's about dancing and the 'Stars' who are doing the dancing. Maybe someone should remind them...

Oh... I think Maks just did.

Tessa said...

Hey all. So, is Joanna's playboy spread going to help or hurt her in the votes?

monty924 said...

I made it. Better late than never. :)

Tessa said...

Aaron 7,8,8
Joanna 8,7,8
Mya 9,10,10

Tessa said...

Kelly has not been one of my favorites but she rocked that dance.

monty924 said...

I know I say this all the time about Kelly, but she is adorable. She actually looked relaxed and like she was geniunely enjoying this dance. Love her!

8-8-9 Well deserved!

Tessa said...

Kelly 8,8,9

Tessa said...

Monty, I agree with you about Kelly and that dance. She has had only a few moments when she truly looked relaxed and like she enjoyed the dance. This was one of her best.

Tessa said...

I just love Donny. I don't even care what the judges think.

Tessa said...

They like it, they do. Except for Len who thinks it was arty farty.

monty924 said...

Hi Tessa. Once again, Len is a wait blanket. Donny and Kym were wonderful with that waltz.

I wonder where Joyn is. She and I have been the only two hanging out here the past couple of Mondays.

Tessa said...

Donny 9,8,9

monty924 said...

Donny and Kym are doing the Paso Doble (80's) for their latin round. That ought to be fun.

Yay, DanceCenter is back tomorrow night. They always crack me up!

Tessa said...

Monty, I have read you and Joyn's comments but the kids have had the computer the last few weeks during the show. They don't understand why I like to blog during the show.

Tessa said...

I will probably miss tomorrow night's show. They have an award's banquet at school for my daughters' volleyball teams and I don't know how late it will run. I'm sure the Dancecenter segment will be quite funny.

Becky said...

Hey to all that are here. Looking forward to seeing the Latin dances.

monty924 said...

Nice Samba. There's something about Mya that I don't care about, but that was good.

Tessa said...

Bruno has lost it for sure.

Tessa said...

Mya 10,10,10

Becky said...

Mya looks down right sexy in that outfit! She has a drop dead figure. I really like her dancing.

Bruno is so over the top drama queen.

Perfect 10's! WTG

I am pulling for Mya and Donnie.

monty924 said...

I know what your both mean about Bruno. My mother and I just shake our heads when he opens his mouth and goes ballistic. It is funny though.

I'm rooting for Kelly and Donny, mainly.

Becky said...

Monty, isn't it strange how some dancers strike your fancy and some you just don't care for even though others rave about them?

For some reason I just don't care for Lacey. I don't know why, but I don't.

Tessa said...

And I'm rooting for Donny and Joanna. Does that mean Donny is favored to win?

monty924 said...

Someone else I can't stand personally, but Aaron has really come on that past couple of weeks. His foot work is really good.

monty924 said...

Derek is channeling Bowie!

Becky said...

I like having the dance broken into decades the way they are doing.

Didn't care as much for Aaron and Katrina. We'll see how they are scored.

Since my person has been thrown out of the pool I feel like a free agent.

Tessa said...

There is just something about Aaron that I don't like. He wasn't bad. I don't know what it is.

Tessa said...

Ok, were we reading each others thoughts about Aaron?

monty924 said...

I think a lot of us have some left over 70's Puppy Love for Donny Osmond. I know I do, lol! :)

Tessa said...

Aaron 9,9,9

Tessa said...

I loved Joanna and Derek's dance! Too cool or sick as Derek said.

monty924 said...

Only Derek could have pulled that off. I liked it!

Tessa said...

And their costumes were superb.

Becky said...

Derek's and Joanna's Paso should be interesting.

WV is inglo -- in-glo Yes, it is. Amusing. Wonder if Len will think it is too much gimic? WOW! He thought it was terrific.

They deserve a perfect score.

I wish they would cut down Bruno's upper meds a bit.

Tessa said...

Joanna 9,10,10

monty924 said...

9-10-10! Again, well deserved!

Becky said...

OMGosh! Donny looks hysterical! I still thing Derek and Joanna deserved a perfect score.

Tessa said...

Too bad Carrie Ann saw the missed kick. I thought they deserved perfect 10's.

monty924 said...

ROFL, Becky!

monty924 said...

Derek and Joanna did deserve a 30. As they said... it was brilliant!

monty924 said...

The doll was a little creepy, but not as creepy as Marie's doll dance. I loved the dance and the song... well it sucked.

Tessa said...

I'm not sure how I feel about that dance.

monty924 said...

Great show. I want to see Derek and Joanna do the encore dance tomorrow night.

GO DONNY and KELLY!

monty924 said...

I'll catch you ladies tomorrow night or Thursday for Survivor.

Nite!

Becky said...

Well, I had a phone call and missed seeing Donnie dance. Was he good. How did he score?

Becky said...

Be here tomorrow night. Bye for now.

Tessa said...

I think Donny was 8,8,8

Anonymous said...

Donny scored 8-8-8

joy n said...

Watched my tape this AM and loved, loved, loved Joanna's and Derek's futuristic Paso Doble. Just saw it again. Fantastic! They deserved 3 tens, tho.

And they were just declared SAFE! YAY!

Becky said...

Anyone else think Donny might go hme tonight.

Becky said...

Derek and Joanna did a wonderful job with their dance. Glad they are safe.

Good, Mya is safe too.

monty924 said...

I'm happy they chose Joanna and Derek for the encore.

I think Donny is safe for this week. It will probably be Kelly and Aaron in the bottom two.

Bring on DanceCenter!

joy n said...

If it's not Kelly, I'm hoping it will be Aaron leaving.

joy n said...

Love those Dance Center things.

Becky said...

I always love the Kenny & group interviews. Glad to see Stacey doing the behind the scene interview. Donny and Bruno were hsterical.

joy n said...

I like Buble's voice.

monty924 said...

DanceCenter always cracks me up. I loved the seal for Joanna's laugh. I can't wait for part two. :)

joy n said...

Donny is safe!

monty924 said...

I wonder if Sharon Osbourne is in the audience tonight?

joy n said...

Haven't seen her yet.

Becky said...

Yeah, Donny is safe! I felt bad because I didn't vote last night.

joy n said...

I really do hope that Kelly is safe tonight. I am so NOT an Aaron fan.

joy n said...

Susan Boyle. She amazes me.

Becky said...

What a beautiful voice. It brings tears to one's eyes.

The dance could be an ice skate dream!

joy n said...

Wonderful dance.

Becky said...

I hope Kelly is safe too. I don't care for him either.

LOVE, love love the interviews!

monty924 said...

I hope that isn't foreshadowing. I do NOT want Mya to win this. :(

joy n said...

Did Louis just swear? If I read his lips right, he did. But he was laughing, at least.

Becky said...

Oh, come on! I hate these teasers.

monty924 said...

I had chills the first time I watched her sing that on Youtube. She's an amazing talent and I'll probably buy the CD to hear the other songs. Tony and Chelsie looked amazing in the dance. I agree, that would make a beautiful skating routine. I'm sure someone will do it as their exibition routine at the worlds this year.

joy n said...

I'm not too keen on Mya winning either, but the judges definitely seem to like her. They seemed to all season long.

Becky said...

GOOD! Glad Kelly is staying.

monty924 said...

GO KELLY GO!!! Bye-bye Aaron!

joy n said...

Maybe a little too much jumping for joy from Kelly but glad that it's Aaron. I think all that bragging he did at the beginning of the season turned off a lot of voters.

G'nite, all.

Becky said...

I would just like to see another professional win this year.

Night all. See some of you on Thursday night.

meb said...

OK... A little late getting here, but wanted to watch the show. I really enjoyed the singers. I'm not sure, if I were singing, I'd want dancers to come in and have all that screaming for the dance and not necessarily for the song. But, it is a dance show, so I guess they must have to agree with that.

Susan Boyle is fantastic and I wish I could have just watched her sing, even tho the dance was spectacular... would rather have seen the two at different times.

Glad Kelly stayed, but it sure is getting close.

Margo said...

***DWTS POOL UPDATE***

So long Aaron - it was a long time coming.

Kelly Osbourne - Nana in NW
Mya - Rbennie
Donny Osmond - Sydney, Rochelle
Joanna Krupa - Tessa

Ashley Hamilton - Witt
Macy Gray - Meb
Kathy Ireland - Nina
Tom Delay - jennasmom
Debi Mazar - Monty924

Aaron Carter - gaylos

ML said...

As they performed it on Monday night with full makeup and hair, Derek and Joanna's paso was one of the best dances I've seen on DWTS. Not only is Derek a gifted choreographer but you have to give Joanna credit for really being a good dancer. She was spot on in every way including her demeanor, which sold the dance. And she is clearly in good athletic shape (endurance especially), unlike many other models they've had on the show.

Aaron had to go; although he was a better dancer than Kelly, he could no longer win this competition because of his deteriorating fan base. Kelly may be cute and spunky at times but she is inconsistent at best. I think they wanted her in the semis because she draws a bigger audience than Aaron was at this point, but anyone else would have been criticized for that jive. It lacked the fast and high kicks and flicks the judges are always talking about.

Donny was just plain frightening, but we still love him.

Mya is a wonderful dancer in every way. Her fox trot was gorgeous. But somehow, I don't really care. There is just something about her that fails to ignite. What Kelly and Donny have in spades, she very much lacks: personality. I hope Donny's and Kelly's personality don't steal a spot in the finals from her, because she is clearly the better dancer.
ML

joy n said...

Just read that Melissa Rycroft will be dancing with Tony Dovolani on Tuesday night's show.

Tessa said...

So I just got home and missed Donny's dance and apparently there was problems. Anyone see it? He got 7,7,7

Tessa said...

Wow!!!! Joanna and Derek looked beautiful.

Tessa said...

Derek and Joanna did not completely mezmorize the judges. They got 9,9,9

joy n said...

The hem of Kym's dress literally unraveled. It's a shame because Donny tried so hard.

Tessa said...

HELLO, ([echoes]hello, hello, hello) is anybody out there? joy, monty, becky, anybody?????Now I know how it feels to talk to myself. Oh yea, I already do that.

monty924 said...

Hello, Tessa. I missed Donny and Kym's dance also. I made it in the door just as they walked back stage. I guess Kym got caught in her dress. I'm sad for Donny... he's one of my favorites.

Derek and Joanna did look lovely in the VW.

joy n said...

I'm glad to see J&D get nines. Thought the judges were going to give worse.

monty924 said...

Hi to Joyn as well.

Becky said...

Hey, everyone. Donnie just didn't look R Rated, more GP-14. I am sure that Kym's dress coming unraveled didn't help matters.

Derek and Joanna did look beautiful.

Did Kelly's boo hoo seem fake to anyone else?

monty924 said...

Aw, Kelly looked beautiful in that Rumba. I love her hair and dress. Yay, Kelly!

joy n said...

Looked like Louis almost dropped her at one point.

Tessa said...

Kelly still just doesn't do it for me.

joy n said...

I think maybe Kelly maybe does that boo-hooing with Daddy to get her way. If it works there.... maybe it would work here?

monty924 said...

Hi Becky. The crowd's all here tonight. Yay!

Kelly and Louis 8-8-8 Well deserved!

What did Donny and Kym dance tonight? Tango?

joy n said...

Her constant complaining turns me off to her. "It's hard" gets old real fast. Sorry, Monty. I know you're her biggest fan here.

joy n said...

Yes, it was a tango.

monty924 said...

I read somewhere, on Jokers or FORT, that Mya has professional dance background. I wonder why she isn't being criticized for that the way Melissa was last season.

It'll be nice to see Melissa and TOny dance tomorrow night.

monty924 said...

No apologies necessary. I don't think Kelly is the best dancer by far. I just think she's cute and i've enjoyed watching her improve. She does tend to be whiney.

If it's between her and Donny this week, I'd rather see Donny continue on.

Becky said...

The Drama Queen is raving again. Ohhhh, CA was a bit picky-picky.

Is that a jewel down Mya's part.

BTW Kelly doesn't do much for me either. She does have beautiful eyes.

joy n said...

Three dances tonight!

I really think the judges want Mya to win.

joy n said...

I'm hoping Donny does better on his other two dances, too. I love his personality.

monty924 said...

They're all doing their KnockOut dances that they would have danced during the double elim weeks. I think they're mainly Cha Cha's and Salsa.

Tessa said...

Got a phone call. Missed Mya's dance. Donny samba looks great imho

joy n said...

One Bad Apple, how cool is that?

Becky said...

Donnie rocked! I hope he got good scores.

Becky said...

CA did not like Donnie's dance. Pssssfffft!

joy n said...

I don't think CarrieAnn likes Donny. I liked his samba.

Tessa said...

My pool pick is Joanna and Derek so I'm rooting for them but I love to watch Donny. He's just a natural entertainer.

monty924 said...

I agree with Bruno and Len. CA is just being a nit pick tonight. Donny always makes me smile, and I love his work ethic.

joy n said...

I'm not in the pool but am rooting for Joanna and Derek, too. Doubt Donny will win but I love that guy and will root for him til the end.

Tessa said...

Carrie Ann needs to get over herself and know we don't care what she thinks. Donny gets an 8 from her for that dance. She is nuts.

Becky said...

Better scores, but they deserved
9s IMHO.

Becky said...

CA gushes ever time D&J dance!

joy n said...

Usually, it's Len who's the grump.

monty924 said...

These are the dances they are all doing:

Donny/Kym: Tango, Samba, Jive
Joanna/Derek: VW, Cha Cha, Salsa
Kelly/Louis: Quick step, Rumba, Cha Cha
Mya/Dmitry: Waltz, Salsa, Cha Cha

monty924 said...

I loved it. kelly always looks more comfortable with ballroom. Her latin dances always look so stiff.

joy n said...

I saw the footwork mess-up. The judge's seem to forgive all with some.

Tessa said...

That was definetely one of Kelly's better dances.

Tessa said...

I didn't realize Mya was from my neck of the woods.

joy n said...

Have to admit, she did GOOD with that samba.

Becky said...

Think the judges will give 10's? I do. I am afraid Donnie is in trouble. I am giving him all of my votes.

Yep! They did.

joy n said...

Donny needed to do his best. Maybe his last dance will be his best. Hope so anyway, but agree, it's not looking so good right now.

joy n said...

Loved his jive!!!

Becky said...

Cute dance, but will get low scores. And then again, after the comments, maybe not. They will get 9s.

joy n said...

YES!! Good scores! 9-9-9

joy n said...

Saw a bit of hesitation there this time but hope they do well in the scores.

monty924 said...

I gave Donny and Kym all my votes tonight. I would actually like to see him and Kelly both make it, but more than likely one of them will go home tomorrow night. I wouldn't be upset to see Mya or Joanna go. Just me though. :)

Becky said...

J&D are GOOD!

Becky said...

Is Kelly the only female remaining (including pros) that has not had a boob job?

Tessa said...

Just about to enter a new page.
