The only thing i don't like about DWTS is the way they OVER MARK every dance compared to strictly. A 6 to the Americans is considered absolutely disastrous and they are used to getting 8's and 9's for very average dances whereas strictly regularly dishes out 2's and 3's 4's and a 6 is considered a good score early on. I dont understand why they are afriad of being so harsh!!
Other than that though im lovin the show and look forward to hopefully seeing more of young mark ballas jr...he is an AMAZING dancer!!!
Last weekend, right as the end of Kylie's 2nd performance, Julianne joined Kylie on the stage for a minute. It struck me how similar they were (in height and build etc). I hadn't realised that Julianne had this record. I wonder what Julianne was thinking.
"Kristi Yamaguchi Reigns On ‘Dancing With The Stars... Kristi debuted a new, sexier ballroom image, allowing Mark to rip out her hair band and let her raven locks flow as they moved their bodies in time with the music... “Wooo Kristi,” impressed judge Carrie Ann Inaba said. “You really did take a risk this week”

Here are the latest betting odds: "Kristi Yamaguchi the 2 - 3 favorite, meaning you would have to bet $3 to win $2. Jason Taylor is another favorite at 6-5 odds. Here you would win $6 for every $5 bet. And our girl Shannon Elizabeth, she would pay $15 for every $1 bet at Sportsbook.com. Bet $50 for Shannon Elizabeth to win this season of Dancing With the Stars and you could walk away with $750."

E! News (Sky 152) is running a short feature on Karina Smirnoff, repeated near the end of each of its news programs today (Wednesday). Karina shows viewers around her 5-bedroom LA mansion. The same feature can be seen on video here: http://www.eonline.com/videos/v28062_Inside_Karina_s__Dancing__Digs.html
The TV version of E! News today also includes brief clips of Julianne Hough, on the red carpet at the country music awards, "wearing Roberto Cavalli". She was presenting one of the awards.
Showmance anyone? Supposedly, Derek and Shannon were photographed kissing on the beach after the main camera crew went home (for one of those pre-dance training videos):
"Jason's footwork wasn't as smooth and precise as it has been in previous weeks... Shannon's the only star dancer who's getting worse each week... If Shannon doesn't go home, Marlee will... The last thing I want to see is Len parading his "bun" in a supermarket as he promised if Cristian landed in The Red Light of Shame [sounds as if Len is repeating the same dodgy joke he made on SCD, and which was edited out here]... I like watching Marissa bounce... I needed a cigarette after watching Mario and Karina's steamy rumba..."

"Is it Showmance for Shannon & Derek? In tonight’s episode, host Samantha Harris, who grilled the couple previously about a kiss during a dance, once again cornered the fresh-face actress and the male half of Team Hough, asking Shannon & Derek what exactly is up with their relationship.... After the pair performed tonight’s sexy chemistry-laden Rumba, Samantha questioned them about their chemistry–how much is for the stage and how much is real?... "

Can't post Week 6 Results show just yet as Diane has somehow forgotten the first part!! However there are other people putting the results on YouTube so I'll just have to wait until one of them puts them up.
Might as well post what there is available so far. After all, the first part is simply a round up of all the performances plus the judges choice for a repeat performance so it's not totally essential!
So peeved, I've just been reading David Cassidy's autobiography (showing my age ) & had not realised Katie Cassidy was his daughter (actress on Supernatural).
So I go on the Supernatural website to have a butchers & the bloomin' DWTS result is plastered all over it :mad:.
I had to come on here to moan to somebody .
I certainly can understand. I never have the opportunity to watch the original broacast on monday and tuesday nights, so I rely on the ABC dot com website which rebroadcasts the shows the following day online. It's a struggle to not find out who was eliminated. I already know who was eliminated without having watched last nights show. I am going to have to be extra vigilant in the coming weeks as it gets down to the wire.
Thanks for posting the links. It's great to see the whole show, including comments and backstage chat, as well as the dancing.
Interesting to see Marissa and Tony used the same VW music as Kelly and Brendan on SCD ("Delilah"). I remember that performance so well. I never think of the VW as being a dramatic dance but theirs was. I felt Marissa and Tony's was missing something. Maybe it was the beautiful pale yellow dress!
Spoiler tags probably unnecessary but don't want to spoil it for anyone, even if it was only a song choice!
Comments
Other than that though im lovin the show and look forward to hopefully seeing more of young mark ballas jr...he is an AMAZING dancer!!!
I've decided that the judges scores reflect the performances that week, rather than across a series like here in the UK.
Good standard this season!

One result which came up (and which has just disappeared from that list) was: "Miriama's Shock Exit from Dancing with the Stars".
What?
I hadn't realised that the New Zealand version is also running at the moment.
For anyone interested, there's a report on this week's NZ show here:
http://www.nzrealitytv.com/2008/04/miriamas-shock-exit-from-dancing-with.html
It includes a photo of Brendan and Craig, and a link to some gossip about Brendan, and his girlfriend Zoe Hobbs:

Apparently she's also a very accomplished singer (what talent!!!), and is releasing her own country music debut album "Julianne Hough", in May.
in case any1 wants to see it
Thanks for that.
I do prefer Julianne to Kylie!
Last weekend, right as the end of Kylie's 2nd performance, Julianne joined Kylie on the stage for a minute. It struck me how similar they were (in height and build etc). I hadn't realised that Julianne had this record. I wonder what Julianne was thinking.
