that was my reaction as well. But I understand since they have a grueling schedule and sometimes it gets even intense that you forget to eat
Well we are still at the beginning and she is going to lose even more, especially at the end.
Mark said in one of his interviews that during the beginning he trains 6-8 hours/day with his partners but when they start to do 2 dances he trains max 12 hours/day with his partners.

Mark's blog about tomorrow's AT or Chacha. Im even more excited and cant wait to see it!

(I'm sure it will be a lot of fun to compare all the couples dancing Latin, but I'd personally prefer a mix with some Ballroom).

So the 'dance duel' is going to be just that - both couples dancing a cha-cha? So if you've done a cha-cha already you can re-use the one you learnt, presumably?

Wish Mark would stop adding 'super-' to his adjectives - "super-exciting", "super-confident" "super-cool". Super-girly

"super-annoying"? dunno why that sprang to mind

Derek aka Casanova according to the Daily Fail

I wish they would stop trying to manufacture romances - it's beyond tedious at this stage. Derek has the sexual charisma of a ten year old boy. I really can't imagine him having sex with anyone.

He's a good choreographer, but I wish they would give him someone who is less than able. Only fair at this stage.

To be fair to Derek, Maria looked less than capable week one.

Derek is obviously an excellent teacher & very clever choregrapher & she is blossoming.

BIB, I agree. While he may not be everyone's cup of tea, theres no denying that he is extremely talented and is a great teacher as well.
I still dont want him to make the final, but theres a chance that he will since I'm under the impression that(unfortunately) Maria might be more popular than Katherine.
Lets be honest, I know that a lot of people get tired/annoyed with the fact that he or(his brother Ballas) get good partners every season(I know I am lol).At the same time, these 2 are extremely popular and like it or not, a lot of people watch the show bc of them so, it doesnt do any good for the producers of the show to give them someone who isnt going to stay in the competition for a long time(ratings). At least, thats how I see it

21 isn't exactly a bad score though. In any other season, it would have been one of the best. I think she was overmarked, as it was the slowest Cha Chas I've ever seen! It was full of poses and wasn't very fluid.

He has had a few averageish partners, but he's never had a complete stinker. I'd like to see him with someone like Kate Gosselin! He usually gets youngish/pretty girls too.

The Cha Cha is Derek's weakest dance I think, he often opts for style over substance. Maria's posey Cha Cha was similar to Ricki's and Joanna's. Jennifer Grey's Cha Cha was great though.
I think Maria will be around for long haul, I can see her in the top 4, the final... I'm not too sure.

I know you can't really compare scoring from season to season but It's also worth noting that in 9(?) seasons on the show, Derek has never scored less than 20/30 with any of his partners. I'd like to see to him paired with someone with little potential just to see what he can achieve.

Wow, really ???

Just checked wiki

He's scored 20 on three occasions:
Joanna Krupa's Jive
Jennifer Grey's Paso
Ricki Lake's Viennese Waltz

But never less than 20

They are dropping like flies.
