LAST EDITED ON 04-22-08 AT 09:58 PM (EST)

Marissa, Cristian and Mario all went upward in the standings due to some strong performances, and some lucky breaks......

Jason, Shannon, and Marlee went downward, Shannon and Derek complain that she did the hip action, and Derek was complaining that they're b!tching about her hips when some of the others are getting 9+ and their heel lines svck.

Kristi got the first 30 of the season.

Encore dance: Group Country Dance!

Sounds like the title should be "Boys Boys Boys"....... they got 2 couples dancing for her while she stays on the stage moving a little bit....... (she is supposedly preggers, you know..... (I've heard conflicting rumors, so I'm not sure if she is or isn't preggers.......))

Shannon and Derek's safe!

Marlee and Fabian's in the Bottom 2.......

LAST EDITED ON 04-22-08 AT 09:50 PM (EST)

They've gotten up to the 12-13 year olds.........

Tom's happy that we've gotten to dancers that he doesn't have to get on his knees to interview.........

*splat* At the end of the second couple's Samba, the girl (who is taller than her partner by a few inches) went down on her back, on top of her partner, squishing him! (I think it was a planned finish position, but then she leaned back and was laying on him for a couple of seconds...... (I thought it was funny.....))

Advancing to the Dancing Junior Finals: Brandon and Brittany (the first couple, and I think the girl might be deaf, possibly partially, I dunno..... there was a slight conversation about her knowing about Marlee's difficulties better than others.....)

She is single sided deaf. Meaning deaf in one ear. DD is too, and she sat up and noticed that comment immediately. Not even close to complete deafness though. Basically plug one ear. The biggest challenge is locating where the sound is coming from, since you lack stereo hearing.

About how their jobs are so hard........... basically the other side of the coin from the talks with the stars.........

Who's Safe, Part 2........

Marissa and Tony

Cristian and Cheryl

(Remember, this is the week Sabrina was eliminated last season.....)

Marissa, Cristian, Tony, and Cheryl are overjoyed in the lair of Sammybot

Still to be placed: Kristi, Mario, and Jason.......

Next week, everyone has two dances to be scored.......

Finally, after stringing them along for so long, Kristi and Mark is safe!

Jason and Edyta are safe.

Mario and Karina are in the Bottom 2

The couple eliminated is......

*heartbeat music*

Marlee and Fabian........ (it was a matter of time..... the faster dances were the ones that she was struggling in, and it took her out..... I think the double dance weeks would've killed her...)

Thanks for the recap vince...We West coasters truly appreciate it!!!

I posted in the episode 11 thread that the judges were too critical of Marlee, and that I thought it meant Marlee would be voted off soon... and Marlee was voted off the next day!

I think the producers told the judges they wanted Marlee off next.

Wish they'd want Marissa off next.....

This season has actually gone pretty much how it should have. No big surprise vote-offs. The voting seems to be based on dancing and not on popularity.
