Glad that Trista is outta there. A little too virginal and phony for me.

John is awesome, handsome and delightfully quick on his feet. Let Tom B. try it and let's make fun of him.

Kelly, honey, you have to do something else beside show the mammaries.


I absolutely agree that posing does not equal dancing.

I was going to be very upset if Rachel and her partner came out with the lead tonight. Joey and J. Peterman (and their respective partners) were the only ones that actually did any dancing.

IMO, Trista was robbed. I thought she was terrific tonight.

I don't understand why the judges love Rachel so much and hate Kelly so much. I liked Rachel's dances, last week and this week, but she really wan't doing anything more challenging than twirling and posing. Yet they rave about her. And Kelly, while she isn't the most naturally graceful dancer, at least is trying to actually dance. She improved a lot this week. I am glad she is getting another chance.

Evander is easily the worst dancer of the bunch, but I want to see more of him. The quickstep has got to be the biggest challenge for him-now that it's out of the way, perhaps he can excel at the other dances.

I love Joey and Ashly and John and Charlotte-they are the frontrunners and a lot of fun to watch. John looks like he might be the only one in the competition who has actually watched old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies-and it shows in his enthusiasm and panache.

Bye Trista. Heh.

Oh how I love this worthless cheesefest. Who knew that ABC could provide such year round entertainment?

I thought, without a doubt, that John and Charlotte blew everyone else away. They looked classy and effortless. Everyone else was just so busy. I definitely think that Charlotte is the best of the professional partners. Possibly not the best dancer technically, but she clearly knows how to choreograph to highlight their respective strengths. I really enjoyed their dancing for itself, which I can't entirely say for everyone else.

Joey and Ashley remain my second favorite. I probably like them in and of themselves the best. They're adorable and have great chemistry. But as far as dancing goes, they seem just a little sloppy. I thought though that this week that was a result of their routine, which seemed like it was twice as fast as the other quick-steps. If Ashley'd just calm it down a little, I think they could do quite well.

I'm still not feeling the Rachel and John love. I agree it seems like a series of well-executed poses interspersed with a few competent but fairly standard steps. I think she's the best of the female celebs, but given her competition, that's not saying much. She at least executes her lines well and seems to do what's asked of her. It's their routines that I hate. She looked better this week, at least (minus whatever that bizarre purple sparly stuff was in her hair.) Her partner kind of strikes me as a little smarmy and off-putting, though.

I thougth Kelly and Alec were more together last week, but then I liked their routine last week. I did feel like theirs was the only routine to really incorporate seduction, but given her look and the fact that she's a soap star, I'd hope that they could pull that off. I think she could do all right with a little more time. I'm glad they stayed just because I think the judges have been unecessarily harsh on them.

I have no words for Evander and Edyta. It was just . . . no.

Of all the pairs, I did think that Louis and Trista had the least chemistry, so I wasn't surprised to see them go. I was a little sad, though, particularly as I liked Louis so much more this week. He seemed angry at the judging, but on her behalf, which I thought was kind of sweet. I wish she'd worn the black outfit from practice, though, because I thought it was a lot sexier than that froufrou-ish frock that she had on tonight.

Overall I wish to see more dancing and less posing. But given that so much of this is based on audience vote, I can see why they try to go for the impressive moves.

I'm glad Kelly got another chance. She really does seem to try. I will take honest effort over all that fake grinning and smirking from Trista. I didn't hate Trista, but she wasn't very memorable either. I won't miss her.

I thought Rachel would be in the bottom 2, so tonight's results didn't surprise me. I was somewhat surprised she outlasted Trista, but I think part of that is due to Rachel having a handsome and appealing partner while Trista had a man who looked like Ted Nugent. Those shots of Ryan glowering in the audience last week were also not helpful.

I thought she was better than Evander, who sucked. Once again.


And Kelly wasn't that great, either.

Trista danced the rhumba like an 8-year-old afraid of cooties. Just unpleasant to watch. Evander Holyfield looked like he was tripping over his own feet, which was amusing, but not good. His partner looked like she was going to cry after that dance.

Joey and Ashley looked like they were about to break into a lindy hop, but I enjoyed them. John and Charlotte were great, and though Rachel and her partner didn't really do any steps that I could tell, they looked a lot better. She's gorgeous, but as a former model, also kind of an Amazon in comparison to him.

I agree with the judges on Kelly and Alec - sexy, but not exactly dancing. Still, I'm glad to see them stick around over Trista.

From best to worst:

John & Charlotte: They were really good. Elegant, fairly fast and lots of chemistry.

Joey & Ashly: He was a bit clunky with the movements, but at least he tried to keep up the pace. Plus, they have a nice thing going on between them.

Uh, then nobody.

****long pause****

I guess...Rachel & Jonathan: There wasn't really any dancing going on at all. She has great legs and she can unfold them nicely, but that ain't dancing. It's stretching. The judges were way too far up their asses. Totally unjustified marks.

Kelly & Alec: Again, no real dancing. She poses okay but basically it was Stripping 101 with Kelly and Alec. She looks good though. Well, except for the hair.

Evander & Edyta: I thought that was the Quick Step not the Dance at your Own Pace Step. He was awful. I like him, but he sucks. But not as much as...

Trista & Louis: She was about as sexy as a bucket of week old fish. Her plastic smile, her frilly outfit and her complete inability to convey any emotion, let alone passion. Good riddance.

I still hate the judges. Tom Bergeron is kind of growing on me. I hate the music more than I can tell you.

I can *totally* understand Trista's discomfort with dancing so intimately with someone other than Ryan. When DH and I took dance lessons and it was one of those "switch partners" things, I would feel uncomfortable looking directly into the eyes of someone I'd just met seconds ago - with our faces inches apart. That said, if I was in a competition on national TV, I'd do my best to act anything but.

I can't believe Ryan had to come on and green-light the dance! Come on. Or was it a chance to show the new family pet?

And after all that, I didn't see a single move that was "controversial" in any way. There was zero sensuality.

WTH is Evander doing in the competition?

Me too. Now we won't have to see hubby Ryan anymore either. Did they have some kind of agreement where he has to be shown in every episode?

This is for the more experienced dancers out there... the judges criticized Joey's step work, saying they should have been shorter and he would have been able to move faster. Wasn't that the responsibility of his partner to teach him that? How would he know to take shorter steps unless his partner choreographed it that way?

The problem with Kelly is that she looks like she's in pain when she's dancing. Pain is not sexy to the majority of the population and I'd rather not watch her grimace her way through a routine. Evander should go next week. As much as I dislike watching Kelly's face, watching Evander try to keep time and from falling over is worse.

At this point in time it's John and Charlotte for me. I just like the way everything comes together when you watch the two of them.

Re: Overnight Order

To Whom It May Concern:

Please overnight to me one Kelly in rumba costume and one Ashley in cha-cha costume. Please set the inhibitions switches on both models to zero. Also, thank you for the fax announcing the clearance sale on Tristas, but I will pass. Also, if the FedEx dude could swing by the Quick Stop and grab some margarita mix, that would be cool too.

Re: Kelly Monaco's Scores

Bite Me!

YAY, Kelly made it! DOUBLE YAY! Trista’s gone!

I don’t get it, why do the judges hate Kelly so much? I didn’t see anything but posing from Rachel and Trista, either. Kelly was sexy, like the judges said they wanted, and then... well, you were sexy, but you suck. I'm not a great fan of hers, but I really felt sorry for her when they were so harsh - I thought she was going to cry. She was better than Trista and as good as Rachel.

Wow, Trista looked so pissed off during the "last dance". That made me laugh. As did the other dancers coming out to make a circle around them. Ah, just like high school dances. Good times.

John is the most suave man on the planet. And he dances divinely. This competition is his.

Wow, Kelly and Alec were smokin' hot tonight. I'm glad they got through. I knew she could sell the chemistry, after all she has chemistry with a block of wood (Steve Burton) on GH. I don't know what Kelly did to the judges to make them hate her so much, there was as much real dancing in their routine as in Rachel's.

I think it's kind of bogus that the women have been given relatively slow dances and the guys have had to learn a lot of fast footwork for the past two weeks. Evander tried his best, but that was a total disaster.

Trista and her "too close" comments were making me ill. I don't think you need to remind us 27 times that you are married.

John and Charlotte blew me away. He was fantastic and it looked effortless. Joey and Ashly were cute too, and he did amazingly well for how fast that song was.

Well, I can't understand it. I've done that ballroom dance class too where you have to switch partners, and I don't like it. But that's somebody that I just end up with. These "stars" have been dancing with the same partner for SIX WEEKS. You'd think that by now she'd have gotten accustomed to Louis. It's typical baby voiced Bachelor Trista. And I agree that the shot of Ryan in the audience last week did not help her. It annoyed me.

Also, many of these other celebrity dancers are married or have boyfriends/girlfriends, and it didn't seem to cause any problems for them.

Forgot to add that I absolutely loved Tom Bergeron's line about "faster than a concierge runs away from Russell Crowe". Very timely and hilarious. I find him irritating on Hollywood Squares and on this show, but that was a funny line.

I just voted 10 times for the lovely Rachel Hunter, 5 from each of my two phone lines.

What exactly was she complaining about? I was expecting to see something that would show the reason for her worrying.

I loved how Trista was pissed about them showing the footage of her and her "problem". I hated how she never seemed to look at Louie and spent all her time with that cheerleader smile plastered to her face mugging for the audience. Rachel and Kelly spent their time looking at their partners, and in Kelly's case - it was almost like the two of them were going to go off after the show and get a room.

Kudos to all the dancers. It's nerve-wracking to watch, I can't imagine having to dance live. I was hoping Trista would stay, mainly for the Ryan cameos. I don't think she liked her partner that much & couldn't even fake it. I think either Joey or John will win it all.

That was my thought, too! Honestly, there was remotely sexy or controversial about their dance. Please. And Louis' sticking out his tongue like a snake. Nothing can make that right!


Ryan is the family pet of this show? It switches depending on who is being featured. Glad "they're" gone.

I don't think any of the rhumba dancers had any actual dancing in their routines.

The music sucks to high heaven--especially when it changed during Rachel & Jon's number, Hwah? Please, I'd rather have a dj spinning that this stuff.

I knew that Evander was going to suck at this, but Edyta is just scary! She looks like she'll be using a voodoo doll on him tonight. Shooting daggers is more than just a saying. Evander did ok considering that he can't dance--at all!

John/Charlotte
Joey/Ashly
Rachel/Jon
Kelly/Alex-at least they had some chemistry
Evander/Edyta

From what (little) I've seen of professional cheerleader routines, shouldn't Trista be used to whipping out her toolbox of titillation? Like spanking herself on the ass, grinding the air, etc.? Or am I thinking of some teen comedy spoof?

Blackwing, good point about having had six weeks to get used to Louis and his strange forehead. That had somehow slipped my mind when I wrote earlier.

Word. She was deliciously woody-inducing tonight.

I just love John O'Hurley. He's the best celebrity dancer of the bunch. He does such a nice job with the movements and footwork, and it's fun to watch all of his expressions. He looks like he's having so much fun, and he and his partner choose the best music to dance to.

Joey and Ashly are my second favorite. That was a fun routine tonight, and Joey did a good job. Ashly is beyond adorable.

I thought that Rachel and Jonathan were good tonight, but y'all are right, it was mostly just posing and not dancing. I think I might be developing a bit of a crush on Jonathan. Dude has a nice smile.

I thought that Kelly and Alec were really sexy, but the dancing wasn't all that great. Still, they did not deserve such low scores. I'm glad to see that they will at least be sticking around another week. Suddenly Alec resembles Gavin Rossdale of Bush in the footage from the dance studio.

Evander sucks. He is not a good dancer at all.

I'm really glad that Trista has been eliminated. I can understand her concern about being so close to her dance partner in an intimate, sensual dance, but come on, during their routine they were in close proximity only a handful of times and only for a few seconds each time. Give me a break. And then Ryan had to come and okay the dancing for them? Come on. So glad she's gone.

I agree, the singers of the songs need to be replaced, stat. Absolutely terrible.

Hee, blackwing! I don't know if that was a typo or intentional, but it gave me a laugh!

I'm on the West Coast, but loving the snark. Please tell me that Trista didn't really need to get Ryan's on-camera "approval" for her dance moves.

Because....did they choreograph and memorize this just today? Seems if they've been doing it for a while, she could have shown it to Ryan for comment earlier, in the privacy of their home and then changed it ahead of time, if necessary (as it doesn't seem to be!)

I never understood the "Trista hate" but maybe this was part of it. I can't stand when women are so fake girly and attention-getting. Do it or don't do it! The fake drama is just annoying.

I thought she really improved that aspect of her performance tonight. I wasn't happy with all the posing she did (her partner did most of the splits and difficult dancing, but at least that let viewers see his tight buns a few more times) but I felt like she was very believable in her expressions of sensuality and lust. People might say, "she's on a soap, what do you expect" but unfortunately most soaps today are about gunfights and murder, not love stories. I was very impressed by how well she and her partner worked together tonight, after their conflicts last week. Perhaps the bitching from the judges made them find a common enemy.

She's not as good as John and not quite as good as Joey, but I think she's better than Rachel or Evander. I wish Evander would go already. He's a nice guy but it's almost becoming painful to watch him. Rachel was better this week but she still seems lost and nervous to me. She doesn't look like she's enjoying herself.

J. Peterman and Charlotte all the way. Am I the only that noticed that they seemed way too chummy? At one point when listening to the judges' scores they were holding hands and their fingers just interlaced...just sayin'

Thank God peeenk Trista is gone!

Big word to that. She did try harder and I think she has intense concentration when she works which the judges have mistaken for a permanent sullenness. The fact she took her scores, decided she was there for herself and the crowd and kept her composure earned my respect.

John/Charlotte - Wow. Just great. Perfect blend of chemistry, moves, music and posture.

Trista flinched twice (by my count) during the dance. The intimacy of a dance partnership is part of what makes a dance partnership. If she thought it might be an issue for her, she shouldn't have taken it on. I didn't like the tagging on of her husband to lend his 'approval' to her dance, which was unprofessional and clingingly co-dependent IMO.

Evander knew this wasn't his week or his dance, but man. That was just painful to watch.


So did I, and I thought he did a great job. Posture inconsistencies and lack of elongation nonwithstanding, he brings energy and skill to his dance.

Don't care for Rachel's dancing at all and I agree with what was said about her upthread - she doesn't really move. She assumes beautiful poses and has great extension, but that's only part of what the judges are looking for. I hope she manages to get with the steps.

No kidding. She's such a cold fish, and it was uncomfortable watching her squirm away from him during the judges' comments. She's so repressed. I didn't watch the Alex season of The Bachelor, but didn't she say that she had never had an orgasm before? Judging from her demeanor, I doubt that's changed at all.

Evander was painful to watch. Just painful.

Forgot to add -- that music was cringe inducing. I missed last week's episode, so I have no frame of reference, but please tell me it's not gonna be like that every week!

Once again, I was 7 yrs old while watching Joey (and Ashly) do his (their thing). Little Joey-Joe sure did grow up fine, ya'll. The dancing was good too. Heh. I agree with those who thought Joey and Ashly's steps were the fastest, which did them no favors.

John and Charlotte? The Awesome. Seriously.

I think Kelly and cutedude!Partner were just like "FUCK IT, let's just have the nonsex out there 'cause we're going home". They weren't terrible, though. And that? Is more action than she gets with Steve Burton on GH in the entire time they've shared the screen.

I'm a former figure skater, and I can say that, as a whole, anything done with a partner is rarely truly sexual in nature. Trista's concerns and complaints were just moronic. Honey, this is not a porno (no matter how smarmy your partner could tend to be), and you're not committing a sin by touching another man. Plus, it's not like someone put a gun to her head and said, DO THIS SHOW OR I'LL SHOOT YOU! If you agreed to do it, not having any concept whatsoever of the various ballroom dances, then it's your own fault. Suck it up and quit whining. Wait, you're off my TV now, so good riddance. Dipshit.

She said she had never had an orgasm via intercourse before. Not a big deal, most women don't. She clarified later on that she had had orgasms before, just not "that" kind. After she and Ryan were engaged and doing the talk show rounds, someone - can't remember who - asked slyly if that was still an issue and she tersely replied that her status had changed.

Anyway, I'd trade bodies with Trista in a second, and know I'll never have abs like hers - but she seems uneasy in her body somehow. The body language on the shows she's been on, etc. It really came out tonight. If it's the cameras that make her inhibited, then maybe she should stop doing reality shows (ya think?).

I give Louie credit for putting up with Trista and her nonsense. He tried like crazy to put some heat in that dance, but Trista just wanted to be Ballroom Dance Barbie.

I never watched The Bachelorette or the wedding, but enough is enough. And enough, again, with the playing to the camera. None of the "real" stars did as much blowing kisses and such. She was having Cheer Sex (tm Bring It On), and not gaging it toward her partner where it should have been.

I thought Joey & Ashly were going to start jitterbugging/Lindy hopping, too.

Thanks for the explanation, archer1267.


Especially her soap. *snerk* I've liked Kelly ever since her Port Charles days, so I'm glad she's sticking around. (I had an inkling when I heard the fan response inside the studio.) Plus, I loved her commentary about the dance during their practice.

I know it's not such a popular opinion here, but i really like rachel/jon. Thought she danced well, extensions were beautiful and i was actually entertainted vs. when I was falling asleep during Trista, thought i was watching amatuer porn or just embarressed during Holyfield. Such an embarressing guilty pleasure.

Wow! Who thought we'd see Rachel and Trista on the chopping block so soon? Yow!

On to tonight!

John and Charlotte- So flipping gorgeous! I gasped at the song, delighted that they were using Astaire/Rodgers music, and they were so lovely to watch! The best for tonight, absolutely.John also had better faces. I'm betting Charlotte decided to use his ability to act/tell a story to better the routine, which was a brilliant move.

Okay, this is for those who dance/ know a bit about pro/pro-am ballroom: Where the rhumbas supposed to be that slow? I always thought Latin dances were quick and sexy and all but throwing your partner on the ground and doing that thing you do, ya know? I was all set for glittery hoo-hoos to be shaking, but no dice. What's up with that?

Rachel and Jonathan- They were cooler tonight. I liked her outfit, and while it didn't seem like a rhumba to me, it was fun to watch. It did seem like they went from one big move/pose, stepstepstep, to big pose, but it was nice to watch despite that. Sexy? Not IMO. Pretty? Yes.

Joey and Ashly- Damn! They are so f'ing cute/hot! In my notes I wrote "Deserve 30", but that was before John and Charlotte. I also wrote "F You Len & Bruno". I can't remember the exact criticisms, but I believe they were a bit nitpicky.

Kelly and Alex- How many times can ABC attempt to humiliate this gal? Damn! My note on this was during the break:"Sorry, distracted by the hot." They, along with Joey/Ashly and John/Char, look like they are having fun and enjoying each other. I hate "Hero", so I goaned that another slow dance was coming. I liked K/A's better than Rachels, but Rachel's ranked above Trista's, IMO. Granted, I'm no fan of Trista and Mrs. Ryan did okay tonight, but Kelly and Alex's routine looked more like a seduction than the other two. Glad she's around for another week. I may be insane, but Bruno actually seems to want to bring out Kelly's potential despite his scoring overall.

I'm going Thumper and not commenting on the other two couples, other than to say that Edyta is a cool teacher. I liked that she chose to put Evander more at ease in a familiar environment in order to learn. Yea to Edyta and Charlotte this week!

Shallow alert: WTF did Lisa C do to piss off wardrobe? Tonight's dress was teh ugly! Put her in bright colors ABC! Damn!

eta: Amen, TrininisaScorp! Someone at ABC let her have some fun somewhere, huh?

I noticed that too. She's always holding on to him. They look like a real couple.

I missed the first part of the show, drat! I only got to see J. Peterman and Charlotte (why doesn't she change the spelling of her name to reflect the pronunciation she wants?), Kelly and what's his name, Ivander and the green lady.

Peterman is really working this thing out! I don't like Charlotta's fakey looking expressions and smiles. Kind of seems like an evil Stepford Barbie or something.

Ivander really wasn't very good. I think they're so nice to him because he's more famous than someone like, say, Kelly.

Kelly and what's his face - Kelly is smokin' hot, but I agree that they weren't dancing. For that, however, I again blame her partner. Maybe I just don't like that guy for some reason, but I really feel like since he's the professional, he should be able to choreograph something to help Kelly out a bit. The other pros seem to be choreographing with their amateurs in mind. Alec/Alex/Whatever seemed like last week he ignored Kelly's inner ear problem, this week he just didn't try to have them dance at all.

I just don't like them. I wish Kelly had a different partner.

So happy. Go away Trista. Go away and take Michael Flatley with you. That was not dancing. That was Miss Texas being led around the stage by a naval cadet while Harry Connick Jr. sang "Isn't She Lovely". Its a dance contest. Not a beauty pageant. Not the Crest White Stripes blinding Smile Pageant. And why are you uncomfortable? I call liar. It was all "poor Trista, so many obstacles and she still goes on". Not buying it. Just as I'm not buying that your little minion you call husband isn't stoned the whole time to deal with you, you raving famewhore.

I actually thought Rachel and her partner were the second best tonight. I hated Joey's routine. Bad music and his feet seemed to clomp through half of it. Not the fan most everyone else seems to be.

John and Charlotte had better win this.

What would have rocked more? If Christopher Walken was singing it like he did on SNL a decade ago. Then I thought about Walken being in this show. And how he would most likely smoke everyone in the contest. But I agree: the song made it much more fun to watch.

I think annoying host dude said something about the couples that were staying being called in random order. As far as Rachel, it's likely she could've been third or fourth overall. You never know.

With perhaps a little cowbell?

Their dance had more chemistry than anything I've seen on GH in about 5 years. I wonder what happened between them to make them go from such mutual disdain last week to so much compatibility tonight. Either they decided to put up a united front against the judges, or they had a few drinks and put up a united front in their hotel room. It was nice to see the fan response to them.

I decided to vote this week (sad, I know) and I voted a few times for Kelly. Did any of you vote? I almost voted for John but I figured he didn't need the votes. That dance looked difficult and he was masterful. And he works so well with his partner. He's such a class act and a gentleman. He wears the tuxedos so beautifully. It's like this show was created solely for him!

mtlchickie, from your post to Jeebus' ears! Hopefully, this will get good enough ratings and maybe we can get Mr. Walken to dazzle us as well as Mr. Argentine Tango, Robert Duvall? That would be Teh smokin'.

I did like the "training" segments. They were a nice bit of lightness.

Kudos for Kelly getting Alex to grin! He's nicer-looking when he does that. Now he just needs to help her with her basics and she's in business for next week!::crosses fingers::

Lisa is the worst host ever...and I say that knowing of the Bergeron loathing here and challenging it directly. Her all-too-serious delivery and fake drama was way over the top and...just crappy.

The dancing...this show is a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Er, I meant...nope, not really a lot to say about actual dancing. What they do is entertaining, but the actual dancing isn't really there.

Sucking almost as much as Lisa...the music. Ballroom dancing to pop music is a cute idea for connecting to those wild and crazy kid demographics. I just find the music that is being used doesn't fit well with the sort of dances they are attempting, and that can't make it any easier.

First time I watched this show and I have to say that someone has finally beat Verne Troyer naked wheelchair peeing on The Surreal Life for funniest tv moment of 2005. I will vote a billion times if it keeps Evander Holyfield dancing. He did this one solo move and I swear, in front of my grandmother I laughed so hard that I literally fell out of my recliner onto the floor laughing for a good solid minute. I nearly peed my pants. Comedy like that can't be thrown away. I should have known that our little internet community would throw Triscut on her ass. The hate is strong in the little ones.

Last year, while they were doing the first season of the Aussie version, I had cause to walk past the studios at about 11:00 on Tuesday nights (so, a couple of hours after the show finished) and, having heard first hand the boozing that happens after an ep, I wouldn't be surprised if the latter were true.

In some languages, the "e" at the end is an "a" sound. Such as Elke (Elka), Silke (Silka) or my best friend's brother-in-law Tore (Too-ra). So judging by her accent, that could be why it's spelled differently. German/Scandinavian pronounciations do that. As for not changing it? She either is used to it, likes it or thinks it's normal. And it's not half as bad as some of the kre8tiv spellings I've seen (no offense to anyone who has a "y" in their name in place of an "i" or "e".)

I wasn't completely impressed by J. Peterman. He mugs a lot for the camera. And IMO Joey's been given really impressive and much harder dances to do. I think Joey's the best dancer by far - male or female. Peterman is good, but not as fast or as interesting to watch. But I love, love, love both of their partners!

Holyfield can go home anytime. I loved the fact that during the replays for the phone numbers, they played the part of his dance when he and his partner were completely out of step. Ha.

As for the women, I'm with those who think Rachel is not a great dancer and a poser (poseur?). I can't comprehend why the judges like her dances. She doesn't even move, fer God's sack. To me, Kelly is the best female dancer and her partner is damn hot. I especially loved seeing the tattoo peeking out of his rehearsal shirt.

They're annoying in different way. He's a jackass who thinks that making fun of people is the only way to get a laugh. She is oblivious, dull, and at times barely able to hide her hostility for some of the dancers.

I agree that the music is just beyond awful. Remember those "singers" on Your Big Break (the karoake show hosted by Alfonso Ribero from "Fresh Prince")? I think they hired them for background music.



Well, if they ever released a celebrity sex tape ("stolen" from one of their homes, I'm sure), at least that would be one people would want to watch...

Sorry, Im not the professional you asked for, but I have a feeling I heard somewhere that the Rumba is meant to have the quickest moves of any of the Latin dances, performed to the slowest music of any of the Latin dances.

Does that sound right?
