If Anna DEmidova does not get chosen for Dancing with the Stars for next season -it will be a tradgedy . She is absolutely spellbinding . Her waltz was beyond believe and her tango this week was excellent. She will be the best asset the show could have.

That's what I figured, Katrina. That's why I thought they'd only have female pros competing this time around, to replace her. I guess if a man gets the spot, they're going to have to get rid of one of the current pro men.

No Julianne is taking a break. She was suppose to this season but only did this season because of Chuck (READ: her boyfriend). So that's one less pro...

I agree about Snow. These people already had their 15 minutes on SYTYCD; give someone else a chance. I liked Anna and Mayo. I thought until I watched the results show, though, that they're having on one new man and one new woman, but I guess it is only one total. So, I guess one dancer of the same gender as the one who wins this competition will get replaced now? I wonder how they're going to work that out. Or maybe they're going to have more contestants on next time?...

I know, I'm so glad it wasn't Ty kicked off this week! I just watched it last night -- I was really sick all day yesterday and didn't even get out of bed... I guess the one-day flu. Funny, I didn't notice Lil Kim's expressions like everyone else did, but I'll have to watch for that next time! And I totally agree about Edyta being covered up. She really does look elegant, you're right, Susan, you do notice her pretty face more!

Oh is that why Mark was swiveling his feet so much :) I didn't even think about it being a Michael Jackson son! I agree about the group dance, and, yeah, I expected Lawrence to go home this week. I wasn't surprised at all. But I got a little scared when Ty was up there at the end as well. I agree he is way more comfortable in Standard than Latin.

I agree.. I'm hoping for either Genya or Brent

Benji isn't on the pro list for next season. There are 6 "contestants" that you can vote for. I hope that Snow Urbin doesn't get the spot. Yes, she's an actual ballroom dancer but we've had enough SYTYCD crossovers. Time for a fresh face!

I'm rooting for Anna Demidova as well :-)

I really liked Tony and Melissa's AT. Their best dance so far.
Loved Eydta's dress. I think with her all you ever see is an exposed body, which is admittedly insanely awesome but when she's covered up a bit she looks really elegant and you can see what a beautiful face she has.
Lil Kim/Derek- Derek is over-thinking the choreography again and getting completely stressed out about it. Someone give him a Valium. Was an underwhelming dance.
Regarding Lil Kim's face, it looks as if she has had extensive plastic surgery. Probably cheek implants and God knows what else. I think that contributes to the slightly weird facial expressions.
Chuck and Julianne were actually quite good, which pissed me off as I really dislike him and would like him voted off.
Ty and Chelsie. Just love these two together. It really doesn't matter that he's such a stiffy on the dancefloor. Hope he stays at least another week.
Shawn and Mark were good. I thought she needed just a little more pizazz to sell the dance because the technique was pretty great.
Gilles/Cheryl. Not their best dance. I did love her dress though. I immediately was reminded of the white ball gowns in the last section of Balanchine's Vienna Waltzes. Pretty shade of yellow and very classy and elegant.
Unusually for this show all the women looked fairly classy and elegant. Is this a sign of the coming apocalypse?

OH man yes!! I love Derek (have since I heard him in Footloose off the London Stage) but her facial expressions (long with Chucks) annoy me to bits!

So, I haven't watched the show yet (I always have to wait until the day after to watch it online), but does anyone else find Lil Kim's facial expressions annoying? I've noticed that she always has this "Ah" face. Maybe in the rumba it looked appropriate.

I agree with Katrina that V Waltz shouldn't try to be sexy.

As long as one of the new pro's isn't Benji from SYTYCD I'm fine with bringing in a pro from the actual ballroom world

My thoughts:
Tony and Melissa
- I wish that dress was just a bit longer
- decent song I guess
- Not a fan of Tony's shoes...
- Great lunge
- It doesn't have the street feel that AT needs
- Great technically
- *gag* Carrie Ann, leave the drama alone
Didn't really deserve 10s

Lawrence and Edyta
- They need to home. Should have gone home a long time ago
- I like that second dress a lot better
- See Edyta can be pretty not showing a lot of skin! I actually think she's even prettier in this dress than in some of her other outfits
- He just stands there
- ug that wasn't great
- Way to high of scores

~ Dude ABC/BBC do not let the audience pick the pro. Do not pick Benji! Bring back an old pro!

Lil Kim and Derek
- WTF on the song?
- He still needs to put her into a ballet class! Her feet
- Needs more hip action
- Well that was... interesting

Chuck and Julianne
- dude. remove hand from breast! This is a family show
- still pigeon toed
- He needs more hip action
- I will say that was way better than last week and probably the best he's danced

Ty and Chelsie
- un oh for lifts!
- Those hands...
- He looks much happier dancing Standard than Latin

Shawn and Mark
- decent hip action
- wow... That was amazing
- Shawn's probably like "who?"
WTF Carrie Ann and Len? Seriously! What The Fudge!!!

Gilles and Cheryl
- NOT a true Viennese Waltz!
- It looks/feels a bit rushed. I think it might be the song..
- The Viennese Waltz isn't suppose to be sexy

~ Yea for Celtic Women! They finally got somebody new!
Group dance was bloody awful. The 1960s was the worst error to chose a group dance for. Too many stiles of dance

His pants were short because that was a Michael Jackson song ;)
