Some interesting comments from Elena, especially in thinking it's harder for for the celeb ladies than the celeb men (in contrast to Camilla, who always insists it's tougher on the boys).

(The Stuart woman is annoying though! )

OMG, What a breath of fresh air! He is absolutely hilarious!

I saw the name at the beginning and a bit slow on the uptake, thought where's the man Stuart that's a new one on me for a woman's name.

First videos. Santana performed and Kym and Jaleel went first.

Watch out girls, Maks is hot tonight!!!

OMG Katherine's AT, enough said!!!
I watch a lot of AT, but I have never seen something like that:The music was so different/the choreography so different.One thing is sure, Mark is one very very talented choreographer.
William, while he is good I dont think he is that good. Unfortunately for Katherine, thats her biggest competitor.How very unfortunate that when I read the comments, people mentionned 80% of the time how hot he is.
While his AT was good, he did not deserved 2 10's imo and some people fail to understand how its incredibly difficult for the female celeb.
Gavin, Gavin that was horrendous! Im afraid that his time is up. While he is a sweet man and certainly works very hard his dancing is not good.Same with Gladys. But the problem is that these 2 have a big fanbase, so Im afraid that tomorrow's night is going to be another shocker

Easy to read recap & gives you each judges scores - http://www.buddytv.com/articles/danc...k-5-45051.aspx

Really despairing of some of scoring yet again!!

Then again Maks is hot every week but he def can pull off the pink shirt better than most IMO.

I loved Donald & Peta's AT.

There's something about Jaleel I don't like & I find him very unwatchable

Melissa looked very uncomfortable tonight.

I love watching Gladys & Tristan. She lights up the room & I hope they don't go tonight.


Thanks for the links everyone

Me too and I can't put my finger on what it is. I'm also finding Kym and Karina really annoying this time and I usually like them both... again, can't place why. I have developed a complete girl crush on Cheryl though

I love Kym & I think she has gone in on herself because she is so uncomfortable with Jaleel.
She's so different with him than she was with Hines, Donny & others.

My favourite dance was Maks and Melissa's salsa. She took it all on with enthusiasm. Ok it was a bit messy but it was the one that I watched and thought I would like to have been dancing that myself.

Jaleel and Kym - at the end of the dance she stands up and says 'well done' to him then he puts his arm around her, putting his hand on her bum (accidentally, I think) . He quickly moves it up to her waist but she then pushes his hand off her waist very sharply. Don't think there's much love lost there.

William's AT was great, so was Katherine's although that lunge Carrie Ann raved about was followed by her mis-placing and re-placing her feet. Katherine's outfit and hair suggested she was auditioning for Evita

PMSL at Carrie Ann on Roshon 'You were sexy in a Disney kind of way' Talk about damned with faint praise! The boy can't move his hips 'cos he doesn't have any!

Ah, Gavin. He should have got an extra mark for successfully running up the stairs and jumping into the hammock without being flirted out again Well, have you tried jumping into a hammock????

Ah, Gladys. Tris had repeated steps from her previous dances and had even resorted to 'the default move' (standing swaying). She seems to be having trouble learning/remembering the steps. Maybe time is tight because she's on tour between shows. Tiny bit disappointed in Tristan's green shirt - felt he needed something brighter, or the old vest n' open shirt combo for a samba.

I don't fancy the chances of either Gladys or Gavin if they end up in the dance duel with any of the others

Thanks, Lili

Katherine and Mark's AT was very good, technically (best dance of the night), but I thought she needed more intensity in her face. The bottle annoyed me! . (Apart from some show boating in their paso, Mark is finally letting his partner be centre of attention this season. Hallelujah!)

Agree about Jaleel - I may have been influenced by the reports of his fight with Kym, but I just don't enjoy watching him.

William was massively overrated by the judges this week . I didn't enjoy their AT at all (not even Cheryl's part - I thought she looked ungainly)

Gladys is so nice, I hope she stays (at least for Motown week!), but it felt really obvious that Tris (lovely Tris ) was trying so hard to temper his own dancing to help her look good and she still didn't look sharp enough. (But I would keep her anyway )

Don't understand the judges raving over Maria's salsa. I like her generally, but thought she was lacklustre and stiff. Derek should keep his shirt on.

Maks on the other hand..... (I thought he should have danced down to her a bit this week - the contrast between them made her look weak)

Roshon. Sweet. Generally agreed with the judges - a bit wild, but great energy (as he should have!)

Gavin. Oh, poor lamb. Karina's dress was lovely though.

Donald is a good dancer but I wish they could sort out his posture. He always looks hunched over in the shoulders.


I'd like to see Jaleel go, but, with a dance-off, I don't see that happening unless he found himself up against one of the very strong couples. Melissa and Gavin look most likely to be bottom two, but then I don't know about anybody's fanbase....

That's so true. She seems to be enduring the process. Poor Kym.

That's the word I was looking for

Thanks for the links, I enjoyed this week more, everyone tried so hard, got to love Gavin.

Thought Katherine and Mark were very good, she did lack a bit of intensity though.

Peta was smokin, my eye was on her rather than Donald though. William ok not as good as the praise heaped on him.

Derek and Maria starting to get on my nerves with the faux kissing, shirt removal, distraction tactics, as didn't think she was that good this week. Looked like she was going through the motions and stiff hipped in partsl Derek doing all he can to take the eye away from it, his body didn't for me

Laughed at Katherine's tweet to Derek - 'Whoooa you didn't do that in rehearsals, you're dumped hahaha'.

Dancingwts09 has some of the longer versions up, although scores don't seem to be on same video on the ones I've watched..

http://www.youtube.com/user/dancingwts09

watch the hand on her bum move he does at the end of their dance about 1:35 in, and her reaction...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx-ZT...ure=plpp_video

According to the YouTube comments (I'm too much of a lady to have noticed this myself) he was trying to draw attention away from something else when they stood in front of the judges . Bet he regretted those white trousers...

Sorry for lowering the tone....

Lol! I read those comments too (though I do wonder why he didn't use his shirt for... erm...'camouflage' in front of the judges!)

Lol I heard he had a bit of trouser action, hello microscope sorry I didn't notice anything Still I was confronted by William Levy in a see through thong when I was searching for links for DWTs. I got a eyeful of his Cuban naughty bits, talking of lowering the tone. Alas I didn't post it on here, may have got kicked off the thread

Poor Kym.

I read somewhere that he wasn't impressed with his scores but I haven't seen the clip of him with Brooke.

Interesting comments (terrible adding up!!!)

It seems I missed something in William and Cheryl's AT, as they all thought it was fab too. Must take another look.

I've just taken another look can't see what they are seeing thought it was ok, Even some of Cheryl's leg positions weren't as sharp as would expect from a pro, compared to say Peta.

He has double the views compared to say Katherine, so reckon if all the viewers vote he is well ahead. Don't see the attraction, but men and women seem to go gaga over him.
