each to their own, it had the opposite effect on me

The choreography was stunning, how Karina picked up the accents in the music I thought was brilliant, plus I like dances that start and end on the floor, the "2 hearts" hand shape, very clever.

Two bodies moving completely together in physical and emotional harmony. I'd put it in the top 2 waltzes I've ever seen by a celeb.

I was a bit shocked to see Chelsie in the bottom 2

Obviously I have no idea who these celebs are, apart from Kirstie, so dont know how well known they are. thanks to everyone posting the links, they are much appreciated

... no it wasn't.

and love Tom Chambers so lucky Ralph

I just found the whole thing a bit melodramatic. Well, a bit am-dram tbh. I'm still puzzled why the actors tend to overact more than the non-actors.

I know DWTS takes liberties when it comes to the choreography. That's fine, but they were barely in hold the whole time. I'm surprised Len didn't say anything.

I don't think Chelsie was in the bottom 2. She was the last to be saved, but she wasn't necessarily in the bottom 2.

even us America's dont always know who some of these people are. I've never heard of Romeo, Chelsea from Disney, the WWE guy, the Mike guy voted off first but then again I dont listen to hip hop, watch the Disney channel, watch wrestling or live in Los Angeles where Mike was a DJ. But I guess one could say there is something for everyone.

thanks for putting me right

oddly I didnt mind the lack of being in hold as I thought the footwork was so good, lots of rise and fall, couldnt see any errors in that, and I've watched the dance several times

welcome Aerick, lovely to have an American perspective on this, adds a dimension. Thanks for posting on this thread.

Wow, prepare for a vomit inducing "America: Ain't it great" theme. (weird choice considering a lot of the dancers and contestants are foreigners....)

Some of the outfits alone should have been banned to prevent eyesore. Chelsea and Kendra (and Louis) I'm looking at you here!


Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff - Samba
Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke - Viennese Waltz
Petra Nemcova & Dmitry Chaplin - Quickstep
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower - Foxtrot
Hines Ward & Kym Johnson - Rumba
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Foxtrot
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis van Amstel - Foxtrot
Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas - Samba

OH MY not so much for the yankee doodle overdose but Kirstie and Maks Foxtrot !!!! and an appearance by John Travolta in their VT how fab.

Thanks Prime for that, but oh my goodness, I'm diabetic and I felt I needed my insulin after that. I love this show but this was my least favourite ever, can't wait to get back to normal next week.

Maks' outfit was a hit though

The American theme wasnt as horrendous as I thought it might
be

Ralph and Karina's samba was a terrific dance.....for a line dance they werent helped by the choice of music. Chelsea and Mark I thought fared equally as badly, although she had more bounce, a bit surprised to see their high scores

I liked Hines and Kym's rumba.

Will be interesting to see who goes...I hope it's not Ralph although he must be in danger

Can someone put who went home in spoilers for me please I can get that to play....thanks in anticipation.

Thanks so much

I really disliked the show. Far too cheesy for me.

Not too shocked about who went.

Thanks for the links

i'm still traumatised by louis rat on chin

Am I the only one who was disappointed about who left this week?

Darling Force Ten

Are you not doing the clips anymore??

I've missed your posts with all the dances and results this week.......

No, you're not alone. I think everyone will know who left but I'll put the rest in spoiler tags just in case!

Feel silly putting in spoilers, but just in case...

Me too, hope you are ok honey

I'm absolutely fine and still putting all the clips on The Blue Room, but stopped putting them on here as Prime! seemed to have taken over and it was silly having two of us doing it. It almost became a bit of a competition to see which of us could get the clips up first, so I stopped doing it. If Prime! doesn't do them then I'll put them up again. I've been doing them on both forums for so many years now it's a bit strange only putting them on the Blue Room but C'es La Vie!

Glad you are all right Gail

But Prime doesn't put the clips up - he / she puts the link to the whole show which I can't get on my pooter.... still I'm a member of the Blue Room so i will whiz over there... Shame though as this forum is always my first port of call for all things dancy....

Just for you hun! See next post...
