Dancing With the Stars

The winners get a stinkin' trophy and that's it. Everyone is getting whatever fee they negotiated for their appearance.

I wish they'd do something like the winner gets a cash prize they can donate to the charity of their choice. Maybe next season - as it stands, the whole thing screams "low production budget!" but since the ratings have been so high, I'm positive it will be back and will probably have more money behind it.

And by the way Charlotte he is MARRIED.

If I were Mrs. Peterman, I'd be pissed.

I think I must be the only Kelly fan here. I think she's gorgeous. She's not terribly graceful, but I like her anyway. I was really quite shocked that Rachel got the boot considering Joey and Ashly's scores last week.

As a dancer, I think Ashley's a little plump, and add Joey's plump factor, and you have two people who appear heavy to me.

It would help if Joey was taller to balance things out, but he's height challenged. Nothing he can do about that.

On the first episode, I thought they did great, but last week, this week, it appears that the cute factor has worn off, especially when they are not dancing to cute songs.

From the look on Joey's face last week, he thought he was leaving too. Maybe that will help them step it up a notch this week. Can't wait to see!

Joey and Ashly got the boot. Good, I was definitely happy with that decision.

I know that the contestants' music choices haven't necessarily fit the style of dance they're supposed to be doing (Aerosmith, I repeat, is NOT rhumba), but I have to give John and Charlotte a lot of props for being the only team to do a TRUE paso doble this week. Not just some cheesy pop music immitation. I think they deserve to win.

Ashly and Joey--both of them--just lacked regality to me, and I don't think Ashly's body helps her out any there. Charlotte just carries herself exquistely, and I think John feels that and steps up to her standard.

ashly and joey gone, Good. I have also noticed that kelly only does really well when the dance resembles one that she could of preformed at 'Uncle Harry's Boom Boom Revue'. My husband asked why she is still there, and i had to explain soap opera fans to him. Avid rabid soap fans. Hopefully O'Hurley wins because the man deserves more than a trophy for huffing and puffing his way through that show week to week. Oh, and Tom Bergeron must be happy as well becuase for once he isn't introducing the 400th kicked in the nuts video or some stupid animal trick.

I was sad to see Joey go but not surprised. But I'm glad they went out on a high note with the Paso Doble. I really thought their foxtrot was fun, too.

Now I'm off to vote for John. I'll be pissed if Kelly Monaco wins this.

I was thinking last night the reason I really like this reality show is because it is on for such a short time and I feel like I personally know everybody competing. On the other shows I could really care less who goes until there is about 6 people or couples left.

I think Charlotta is snooty. I am just hating her on behalf of Mrs. Peterman. Why don't they ever show Mrs. Peterman. I still like Alec and Kelly. Joey and Ashley I thought deserved to go and I didn't like their fox-trot because I didn't think they danced very much. Yes I agreed with the judges.

I don't get how this is going to work for a winner because OF COURSE the judges are going to mark Mr. Peterman and bitchface the winners and OF COURSE all the rabid GH fans are going to vote for Kelly to win so it will be a TIE. Oh well I guess they will each get a trophy and my that was a fun show!

Can't wait for the Ice Skaters.

That's another thing I think the upcoming ice skating spin-off will have to its advantage--familiarity. We know the celebrities here, but no one knows the ballroom dancers. Even though the popularity of professional figure skating has taken a dive in the last five years, skating has been in the media enough that there's a good change people will have some familiarity with the pro skaters in the FOX show if popular ones are choosen/accept to be on the show.

Kelly has no rhythm whatsoever. None.
John and Charlotte easily deserve to win.
