It's time again to feed the Red Light Special, and hopefully this time it will get one of those that are the svck instead of the 'meh'.

It will depend on the voters again probably, and last week they put Pamela/Damien in the Bottom Two with Shannen/Mark, who were sacrificed...... which might've been kinda fortunate for Shannen considering that Mark wouldn't have been able to be dancing for about 6 weeks anyways........

Reba McEntire will be the musical guest tonight, and we will get a further update on the Design-A-Dance carnage......

        • Jon is voting for Kate,Snidget, 05:39 PM, 04-07-10

I'm happy resigned to report that I've accepted Kate's invulnerability and recognize that this will be the season VFTW wins without casting a vote.

With that said: tonight, you are on your own.

Do you think they'd notice if I hid over here?

There is a rumor of *hidden text* bagpipes on AI.

Yikes. Good luck with that if you head back.......

Last night was Story Time, and some fairy tales turned into nightmares........ The previous leaders fell from grace and the EvanBot ascended to the top of the charts!

Meanwhile, we might've finally found a worse dance than Marie's infamous Dead Doll Dance: Kate's Zombie Paparazzi Dance!

Safe: Aiden/Edyta (here we go again.....)

Safe: Erin/Maksim

Drink of the night

coffee with Bailey's

snack of the night
flourless chocolate cake

Entree over in the AI forum.

Jake: Okay......
Niecy: Needs to step up her game
Pam: Needs to be neater, clean up the technicality
Chad: Did pretty good
Aiden: Analysis Paralysis
Nicole: Slapstick number.....
Kate: A walk in the park....
Buzz: Story charming, dancing alarming
Erin: Waltz was beautiful, though he felt he overmarked it, should've been a 6.
Evan: Loved it!

Evan/Anna's Chicago Quickstep

I want a Cowboy

So do I, Reba, so do I!

Safe: Niecy/Louis (Yay!)

Thank heavens!

Acoustic Paso Doble, featuring Derek and Chelsie dancing and Mark Ballas up in the band zone playing one of the guitars, I believe........

Is it really bad for me to say that Derek reminded me of Ed Grimley with his high waisted pants?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvbQKSaYQD8

Yes it is. Very bad. Bad bad bad bad *snort* bad bad bad.

An aside. Why does he get the good dancers and Tony gets the bad ones? Melissa doesn't count cuz she was a last-minute replacement and they didn't realize how good she was. Same with Edyta (of course, the things she said about Len last week backstage might shed some light as to why).

And I just bet if Jonathan Roberts stayed around, he'd get stuck with Kate. (Didn't exactly get the cream of the crop with natural born dancers: Rachel Hunter, Giselle Fernandez, Heather Mills, Marie Osmund, Monica Seles, Belinda Carlise and Macy Gray)

Isn't the theory that Corky Ballas was involved either in bringing the show to the US or has some other in with the producers. He trained the Houghs.

The conspiracy theory is he has some pull to make sure Mark and the Houghs generally get good partners, or people expected to go deep.

I think Shannen, even though she ended up going early, could look like someone that would go a lot farther based on the other 90210 peeps.

Harumph. No wonder Corky was so quickly "available" to replace his son. Couldn't understand why the producers didn't use Jonathan Roberts or someone like him.

ETF spelingg.

Couldn't understand why the producers didn't use Jonathan Roberts or someone who has a butt like him.

There, fixed it for ya!

Double Score Showdowon

Safe: Evan(bot)/Anna

Safe: Chad/Cheryl (rats again)

At the Mega Dance Studio........ yeah, right, sure..........

So they want us to believe.......

Safe: Pamela/Damien! (YES!)

*exhales*

*counts*

So that leaves Jake, Buzz, and Kate.

...no. I will not dare to dream.

Jake/Chelsie
Kate/Tony
Buzz/Ashly

I wouldn't mind seeing any of those three gone, especially the one in the middle.......

I can handle losing any of those.

Bottom Two: Buzz/Ashly

Bottom Two: Jake/Chelsie

@$#*()(#%*_(&%)(#(! Kate/Tony is safe!

The couple going home this week is: *heartbeat music* Buzz/Ashly!

Oh well. He could only be propped up by votes for so long......

At least most of the cast was giving him a farewell salute during his Final Dance......

Buzz wasn't going to go much farther, but glad to see Kate in the bottom three. It gives me hope.

No particular vote order on the safeties, remember? They made her sweat (and probably swear), but it's no indication of her totals.

While that is true, that they are willing to peeve her off this early in the show gives me some hope they don't care to drag her lifeless body to the end.

have some dessert as a reward.

I know he couldn't win it...but it was kinda sweet watching him dance...they should bring him back and let him dance with his wife

seriously though...who the hell is voting for Kate?????

At bare minimum: All of her fans from Jon and Kate Plus 8......... TLC has set her up with a blog space, and before and after it plaster her vote number........

Who's voting for Kate? A lot of dead people, just like a Chicago election.

A lot of dead people

That makes perfect sense, since she dances like a zombie.

It's a Tribe!

And so is his lawyer.
