I suspect at this time the only way to watch in high quality is to download the show.

The only HQ download link that I have seen is 2.2 GB.
Was it a link that worked? Can you post it at all?

Only need to see Maks and Kirstie in HQ.

Thanks.

It works but it will take a while to download.

I havent watched them all yet but Wendy Williams instantly alienated herself to me when she asked Tony who he was......talk about not doing your research and showing yourself up as not having taken any interest in DWTS before being asked to do it. Can you imagine the DS going into meltdown if one of the Celebs didnt know who their pro was at introduction. If you dont then for goodness sake dont let on.

I know. They are all abuzz about it on the forums. Even though Mike Catherwood was awful and had the lowest scores (unless he is particularly bad next week) Wendy might be first one to go. I don't what kind of fan base she has. Tony's face was priceless.

You mean like the masses of housewives who didn't vote for a 'pretty girl' like Kara Tointon?

Oh, and by the way, Ms Nemcova is 31 and therefore not a 'girl' but a beautiful woman.

Yes, that surprised me!

I've just watched the episode online, and really enjoyed it. I have so many favourites! I enjoyed Ralph Macchio and Romeo and Chris Jericho and the football player, and even Kirstie Alley (who I usually find very irritating).

No, not til next Tuesday. They had one dance this week, a second (either latin or ballroom, whichever they didn't do this week) next Monday, and then elimination on Tuesday. They only had one show this week, move to two (Monday & Tuesday) from next week.

Thanks for the links!

My favourites were Chelsea and Ralph. Kirsty was good but I don't think she's going to be amazing all round. Just a hunch.

Chelsea and Mark, adorable!! Loved the routine, it was so cute and uplifting and they seem like they'll be great fun to watch. She could either be a Shawn (popular and loveable) or an Audrina (talented, likeable but forgotten about). I like her anyway.

Okay, how cute is Ralph for a 49 year old?! I cannot believe his age!! He looks so good! And he can dance!! Big thumbs up!

Has Ralph had previous experience? People have been saying that he has done some tap dancing in the past. That hardly makes him a ringer, but I don't like it when celebs try to pretend that they are total novices when they aren't.

Well, if he has previous dance experience, he wasn't showing it! For all that it was a very entertaining dance, and he threw his heart and soul into it, his hands were DREADFUL, he needs to work on his posture and it was all a bit of a mess. Still, for commitment and exuberance, he deserved his spot at the top of the leader-board.

I personally think it's very difficult for any actor or entertainer to have totally avoided at least some dance training in the past; actors need basic skills in a lot of related disciplines if they are to be in work. As you say, it doesn't make him a ringer, but he might as well be a novice given the expertise he failed to show.

I wasn't that impressed either. He was still better than most of them, which admittedly isn't saying much. I'm surprised Len liked his performance so much.

So if I understand the scoring system for the show, (which is different from the UK one) they total all the scores then assign the contestant a percentage based on their percentage of the total score.

So from the first two weeks we have the following scores...

Spoiler


This is then added to the public vote percentage.
so in these early weeks it's almost entirely about the public vote, the actual way the dancing scores are used make it too close to call.
