BIB. I agree and I love her enjoyment of the whole thing and her partnership with Mark. I'm very disappointed James stayed over Charlie. Charlie's ballroom is a million times better than James' and he's been so lovely and sunny. I guess the Meryl and Charlie fans split their vote and C lost out.


BIBs Yep - such a shame.

I'm not even the tiniest bit religious and I wanted Candace to go through . I'm not sure why the Christian vote should be more annoying than the skater vote or the hot vote or the millions in the past who've voted for football players who can't dance a step! (TBH I'd think Candace got through for lots of reasons, not just a motivated fanbase)

Just to add I am also on the support Queen Candace goddess train!!! <333

She is fierce and has improved most. If she outlasts Amy it would be hilarious

I know I am hard on Amy but her favoritism and bias scores have really made me not support her. The VT was less emotional blackmail this week so props to that. Her Quickstep had gapping galore throughout. You could fit a wedding cake in the gap. Her other dance deserved 8's it was complete farce they ignored the faults. If that had been Meryl / Candace they would be at the bottom of the score charts.

I think James might come 4th next cause I just over look him. I imagine Peta is planning a tacky "sexy" routeen to try and get the win. If it gets James in his pants then I might notice him then

Maks is doing Meryl no favors. He just comes across a Jerk in the VT's. A tip Maks is NOT acting like that in the first place. Throwing your mic around like a lunatic. Poor Meryl

I do hope Meryl doesn't win because everyone thinks it's Maks' divine right to win. it isn't, I'd rather see someone with no training win- i.e. James. I wouldn't mind seeing Amy win, but I just know everybody will say it's for sympathy and not because of her ability. Meryl's the best, but she was always going to be the best. She's a trained dancer (No matter what Abby Lee Millar said) Candace has improved but she shouldn't have survived over Charlie, as lovely as she is. Hopefully she'll finish 4th, then James win- Amy/Meryl can finish 2nd/3rd in either order for me.

For me, I really hope the winner is either James or Meryl. Meryl is just in another league but an advantage for this is her performance quality that she had before the competition. James however, is just astonishing on a whole other level, he came into the show with no traditional dance training and the improvements he has shown week by week has just been sensational to watch. Hope James and Peta do a BTR song for their freestyle.

However, I have an awful feeling we could be seeing another Hough victory

I knew Charlie would go from the moment the scores put him bottom of the three couples in jeopardy and the way the judges over-egged the 'you must be in the final' pudding with him. I'm starting to spot a pattern with how the jeopardy couples are treated which is a clear indicator of who's going each week. We won't be able to follow that next week but it will interesting to see if it carries on next season.

I wouldn't mind Candace or James winning. Meryl is lovely but the cult of St. Maks is bugging me and the bias has gone too far with Amy now.

I wouldn't mind any of the females winning. The judges bias or Derek's record has nothing to do with Amy and she done a great job. Would like Meryl to win if she was with Val I would be happier Maks hasn't pushed her enough & thinks that his attitude to winning isn't helping. Candice as I said before is the most improved and Mark is usually great at the showdance.

The only one I really don't want to see win is James - Charlie should have been there instead Charlie was the best male but even forgetting about Charlie James hasn't done one good ballroom dance and his Latin is just ok but the dance that everyone goes on about being his best actually showcased Peta not him. I like James but he is the weakest in the final.

I wouldn't mind Candace winning if Mark comes up with a really good freestyle that she can carry off, but I think she'll be first out, sadly. At least she'll have had the full experience and made huge progress. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Amy won and, again, if they have a spectacular freestyle, I'd be happy if she did. She's done a great job over the series as a whole. James hasn't improved much in ballroom and I was underwhelmed by his rumba last week (what was CAI seeing when she said he had great hip action??!!). The cha cha was fun, but not a whole lot of cha cha... My least fave. If Meryl wins I'll be pleased for her and do think she's a lovely espressive dancer (though I wished she'd conquered her feet better, given her ringery-ness...). Trouble is, I'm not sure I can stomach a Maks victory. It's become all about Maks and the win would be the same. Eugrh!

Oh well.

Go Candace!!!

Snippet of Meryl and Maks Freestyle. Crumbs - is Maks going for something contemporary? Not really his forte... (Both of them wearing those droopy pants )

As well as freestyle they seem to be dancing the dance the celebs did in the switch week. Candace and Mark/Quickstep, Amy and Derek/Salsa, James and Peta/Tango, Meryl and Maks/Argentine Tango

OTRC interviews, Mark's hinting at some lifts in the freestyle. You need to whack the sound up, bit poor quality.

And the caption on this pic says it all:
"I want to win more for Maks" - Meryl

Yep, it really is all about Maks.

BIB hasn't it always been. At least he is honest, about his turn for the 'ringa', in one of the interviews, I posted. I reckon Meryl is competitive enough, to want to win for herself.

Ooh, err!! I hope this is just a bit of exaggeration for the drama and he'll be okay. Not long ago Mark was my least favourite pro but he's really mellowed the last couple of seasons and I think he's been brill with Candace. I suppose she'd choose Tony to dance with if she had to, though am expecting Marky to be a brave little soldier

Yes it says he is going to 'soldier on'. Do you remember when he was dancing some seasons back, with Sabrina and he dislocated his shoulder or something like that, he ended up having an op. Could be a weak spot, these pros seem to have quite few injuries, they dance through the pain.

Rehearsal update vid from GMA. I feel bad now for thinking Mark's injury might have been over-dramatised. Ouch!

Thanks soupy. Think if his other shoulder popped out, definitely painful, wince, wince. The lift looked messy and the celebs don't always get in the right position, so an accident waiting to happen.

It's not only Mak's ego that needs to be stroked then, can hear him purrring from here, lol

BIB Lol! She's doing that in the vid too. Made me feel a bit icky!

I know, I'm likening them to Blofeld and the cat, well the stroking bit anyway.

New interview with Conrad Green

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/liv...d-green-705569

Good luck tonight Candace. <333

Amy to go!!!!

I do agree with the other FM on Maks. Poor Meryl. He is so arrogant he thinks the show is all about him. Its NOT Maks its for Meryl. I can remember last year he thought him being a guest judge would boost ratings and in fact they went down

http://www.accesshollywood.com/dwts-..._video_2167237

After seeing this clip, I agree with the posters that predicted the finishing order as

Meryl or Amy
Candace
James

Although....I would have been happy with Candace 1st and James 2nd


Peta has talked up their freestyle so much that it's bound to be a big ol' letdown. Always better to underplay it.

Watching live tonight.

OMG at Meryl's Freestyle <333 Amazing.

The VT's tonight going full out on Finale sob stories.

Amy going for gold with her's no doubt

Queen Candace next!!! Work it girl!!!

Yea, brilliant but.......I kind of expected it


OMG ...I can't watch Mark.......yikes


Can they please fire Carrie and Len especially
