The stars ask the judges advice:

example:

Jane asks why Carrie Anne hasn't given her a 10 - what does she have to do? Carrie Anne tells her to put heart into it ......

Mel B asks Len what she can do to get the voters to vote for her/like her. Len says we are both British and we need to know that the people want ......

I'm getting the idea that the result will be surprising. And shocking! I'm all ready to be surprised by the surprising and shocking result. I'm not sure how I can contain my unsuspecting self as I stay tuned for the shocking and surprising result surprise.

Surprise!

ROFL!

Can't wait... did they have any warnings about heart patients taking their medication to withstand the shock?

Just a still shot of Marie prone on the floor from last week with a caption saying "Don't Let This Happen To You!"

I've put some pillows on the floor around me just in case.

You are naughty, frodis, naughty. I like that.

Backstage with Samantha:

Cameron: Hard to go back and forth to All My Children in NYC but its worth it.

Marie: I'd love to go home to my kids....then come back!

Footage about how they get along and love each other. But it all changes when the walk into the competition night.

Jennie says she's most scared...Helio says Sabrina is the most competitive.

Helio and Juliane

Marie and Jonathan ....after the break!

"After the break"

If I never hear those words again, I'll be ecstatic.

Cameron and Edyta - bottom 2

Jennie and Derek - safe

Marie and Jonathan - safe

This takes the biscuit! Len

Cameron and Edyta

Sabrina and Mark

After last night's show, I called my mom, and we were discussing who would be in the Final 3 with Cameron and Sabrina!

Sabrina and Mark

The crowed is vocal. Very shocked.

I was on the phone, birthday call until just now.

TV was on so I could see who left. Oh.My.Heck. Did not expect Cheetah girl to go this week.

In the beginning, I assumed she would be in the finale, so I am a bit shocked. But it certainly proves what I have always thought, that regardless of how well a star dances, they've got to have fans behind them. While I thought she was very, very good technically, I didn't feel any connection to her, and apparently not enough felt a connection either.

Sabrina is not taking this well. Mark is very warm and loving in his remarks.

Everyone is still shocked, judges standing, Bruno looks as though he may hurt someone.

Barry Manilow sings "My Eyes Adored You" - awkward.

Yes, somehow Barry's singing made the moment even more uncomfortable.

I feel sorry for Sabrina, even though I wasn't voting for her. She clearly wasn't expecting it at all.

I'm actually more disappointed overall about Cameron being in bottom 2 - this spot should have been for Jane or Marie.

The crowd should be shocked...this is crazy, she's one of the best dancers this season, there is no reason why she should go home this week. And Cameron in the bottom two with her over Jane or Marie? This show is nuts.

My favorite dancer. One of the only reasons I tuned in. Absolutely adored her. No real interest in watching anymore. Cameron was great eye candy, but I love good dancing more.

It was amazing to see Tom B. so visibly upset.

I missed last night's show and am just reading this now!! HOLY CRAP! That is total and complete bulls$%t. I'm with you Dan..Sabrina was definately talented and one of my favourites. this kind of voting drives me mental...when it is obviously a popularity contest and not based on skill. YEs I agree with some of the others..why even have judges if they are going to let "America" vote for who they want to anyway...

Blah...feeling sad...

*autumnal delight by Agman*

It would be worse if it was just America's vote by itself.

The judges on this show and SYTYCD do, IMO, moderate what America would do by itself if left to its own devices. (see Big Brother 1, Sanjaya, Rupert or any other "America's Favorite" vote on any show)

On the other hand, if you want ratings, you want to let people have a say. It grabs the viewership when people are part of the process rather than just bee-otching about those darn judges voting off someone that has no talent but lots of "it".

Me too Dan. She is by far one of the best dancers, even aside from having a great name. I am sad.

For doing the updates tonight!

will have:
1) a break-up w/spouse
2) an ill family member
3) other personal crisis

That will prevent they from continuing a la Sara Evans. That's good drama.

Well, Helio postponed his wedding....
