    I have to agree with you.  This is sure an interesting season.

    I thought it was Maks problem with his leg spasm, but my daughter thought he made it look like his problem to cover -up for Kirstie causing the fall..................I thought doing the move they did, was it possible he could not hold her weight while putting all the pressure on 1 leg, but either way, they did a great job recovering from what happened.......I think she is doing great.

    Pittsburgh is a great town.......My grandson attended Carnagie Mellon University there for 4 years.....He was the QB for the football team and in his Sr year had a 10-0 season, and they went to the championships. .For 4 years we drove up and back to Pittsburgh to watch him play......a 5 hour trip each way (without traffic), but worth every minute......Had many a great dinner in that town.  Went to a restaurant there called Shenandoah which sits on a hilled area, and when you look out over the hill you can see all 3 rivers, and the Pittsburgh skyline (fantastic view).......loved it..

    Love Dancing With the Stars, and yes Wendy had to go.......She just could not cut it, and doubt she could ever be a dancer......she is very masculine (and I'm not being mean) her body structure, her voice, and her features..............I did feel bad for her, although I think she wanted to go, by a few things she said.............

    Petra is beautiful and such a lady.

    ducky - Maks admitted in an interview that he was the one having the muscle spasms.  Kristie just fell so he wouldn't look so bad.   That became kind of a joke between them.

    jo1955.......Not picking on Kirstie, or Maks, but just thought he might be being a gentleman for her sake and taking the blame for what happened.............which would have been a very noble thing to do.............it was am enbarrassing moment for the both of them, but they came back really well, and did a great job finishing.......

    ducky - I never thought you were picking on them.  I couldn't believe it happened and felt sorry for them. They got back up and as Len said, they finished up better than he thought they would.  I always hate to see that happen.

    jo1955, honestly I always thought about it happening.......only I thought (even though they say LIVE, its dancing with the stars.............that until the finals it was taped..........Not until my daughter said "Mom this is a live show" did I know that.......Ok, another senior moment.

    Anyway Kirstie is doing a great job for a large sized woman.........have a great night

    I agree - Kirstie is doing a great job not only for a women her size but her age.  I don't know if I could dance like that at 60.  We are entitled to all the senior moments we want we earned them.

    Have a great night.

    I like watching it because it is live. Now on tv the only live shows are the local news broadcasts and sports programs. Although the rehearsal behind the scenes are taped and edited they do show the bloopers on the rehearsal scenes. Everything on TV now is so perfectly rehearsed and edited to remove any errors. Remember when there were live local talk shows on air and the 'soap operas' were live.

    Love tonight's theme...classical music and live orchestra with classic ballroom dancing...wow!  Ok, is it me or Kendra has overstayed her welcome?  What is her problem?

    Sugar Rae Leonard in tights....priceless!!!!!!!!!!

    I love the classical music too but some of these folks are like fish out of water!!

    Yes they are.  Kendra irritated me with her negativity towards an art she does not like....not classy at all!

    Gotta love Bruno!

    Kendra has no class - she is irritating.  What is wrong with her?

    This show was worth it just for that aria from La Boheme.  Very good dancing but Kendra needs to go - she' s a whiny pole-dancer. Let's call her what she is.

    Ralph just knocked my socks off.  What a dance.  I haven't seen his scores yet - they better be high.

    Toni - whiny pole-dancer indeed.  I wish we could vote off dancer...she would be voted off today.  No class at all!

    Hines is amazing.  I would have given him a 10.

    I like your description of Kendra. she should go.

    Chabba, I won't say what happened but the last couple really pulled it off once again after a malfunction.

    I did like Chelsea and Mark dancing to Harry Potter theme, even though Len thought it didn't have enough content in it.

    It's Murphy's law for Kirstie!  Surprised

    Who would ever think that one couple could have 2 malfunctions in 2 weeks?  That is just bad luck.  I'm not sure Kirstie is going to be around for the finals.  

    The Harry Potter theme was interesting despite what Len thought of it.

    Interesting indeed but, I have to agree with Lenny.  I don't like that Mark puts too  much theatrics/custome into his choreography and it detracts from the dancing. JMO

    Mark tries to stray from tradition and it gets him in trouble.  He should keep the costumes simple.  Whenever there are "younger" dancers they seem to want to do test the waters, so to speak and it seems to back fire every time.

    Hines was fantastic.......I'm sure his football moves before the games and during practice help.  If you have ever watched the players their practice moves are really priceless.  I know it helps him, but either way he is really good.....Honestly I think he is going to take it all.

    Petra is absolutely gorgeous, but I doubt she will make it to the end,  even though she is very good, and really graceful............

    Poor Kirstie, but she is a trooper, and so damn funny along with it.

    I really enjoyed the dancing tonight and the music was fantastic.

    Kirstie is doing better than I thought she would. I was expecting her to dance more like Cloris and try for the funny tricks. She is suprising but I don't expect her to make it to the finals.

    I would like to see Chelsea and Mark in the finals but like what others have said, even though he takes chances he needs to use more traditional dance choreography. Usually Lacey is the one to push the limits.

    Unlike some of the other seasons, there is not one person who is the "front runner".  It's hard to say at this point who will take it all. I will miss next Monday - will be on a cruise ship.  Oh well, someone has to do it.  hehehe
