John was the best and I too really loved his expressions and humor.

I actually tried to vote this time and only got through one time for John.

Glad Trista is gone. Here's hoping her 15 minutes are finally up!!

I actually felt sorry for the Kelly girl. I don't watch soaps, so I don't know who she is, but I think the judges were overly harsh on her and I thought she was going to cry. I do agree that her routine wasn't much dancing, though, mostly just slinking around.

Overall, I'm hooked on the show and am enjoying it, especially since it is before Lost, the best show on TV right now, IMHO.

Oh and Rachel Hunter is like the Jolly Green Giant next to her partner. She's so much bigger, it's hard for her to look graceful. She also needs to retire her reality TV DAWdom and go away gracefully, before people forget she was a supermodel and only remember her desperately trying to hold onto fame in these reality shows.

I enjoy John O'Hurley. The others whine during their practice sessions, while he's cracking jokes. And I love his comments in the dressing room. He'll keep things from getting tedious.

"I'm the oldest one here and wearing the most spandex!"

"I'm just glad my hair didn't move."

He's got a great attitude toward all this. He's obviously having fun, and it shows. And the judges were right about his elegance.

"If there was ever a time you wanted permission to run over a clown. . ."

I love John, too. But I was worried about him last night.
It seemed like he had his hand on his chest when the judges were talking to them, and he looked a little distracted. I was hoping he was all right.

I think that Trista and Rachel were there simply as an excellent example of opposites.

You know who I really liked, the fast step couple that was first... I forget their names, but I thought they were great... I love that tempo. I just so want to go through life that way...

I fell asleep and woke up after Trista's performance. I saw her scores. I love O'Hurley. His dance was awesome. Every time I see him, I see "Mr. Peterman."

I didn't see the end, and I'm still not quite sure how the whole thing works. I saw Evander, and there was nothing graceful about his performance. I assume he'll be gone soon.

They combined the scores for the two weeks, and then the audience vote counted for half (don't ask me how that part worked, that's all they said). Then they announced safe pairs until they got to the bottom two - Rachel and Trista. At that point, Trista was told to go.

I can understand how Evander is sticking around. Yup, he's clunky, and last night's dance was a train wreck. But as judge Len said, he has the farthest to go. He's really trying, and he's being a good sport about it. I like him better than whiny Kelly.

And to think, I used to like her when she was on Port Charles.

"If there was ever a time you wanted permission to run over a clown. . ."

Sorry you missed it, Vols. Generally, I think the dancing was better this time. Even the stupid post-dance interview chick (Lisa?) seemed less annoying--maybe I am just getting used to her.

And O'Hurley is good! He is the only dancer who has enough presence that he overshadows his partner on the floor. And Trista sucked big time again. She barely looked at her partner--must less danced with him. It was so weird.

The funniest thing, production-wise, was a quick cut of the soap opera diva (who wore a very minimal costume to distract form her lack of dancing ability) pulling up her minimal skirt after a sound man had inserted the microphone box so she could talk post-dance to the AFHV guy. They must have stuck the box directly up her ass because there was no. place. to put it. AFHV guy quipped that sound men from 3 continents had volunteered to insert her sound box, LOL!
