Definitely looked like Mark was the main cause of that fumble. It also did look like the kind of thing that would wonk a back out. Like you guys said, though, it sure didn't look that way tonight with all the jumping around in heels - and arching backward in heels. Hmmm.
Spoiler
I hope either Katherine or Donald win.
BTW, thanks Cinebar for that link! I did watch just the dances at abc but it's good to know about that other site - the full episode wasn't up yet at abc and I don't get hulu plus so can't watch them there.
I wouldnt fault Mark for wanting to win, especially over Derek. Remember, they lived together for something like 7-8 years when Mark's parents were teaching Derek and his sister. Derek and Mark have both said they're more like brothers than friends. I'm sure that includes sibling rivalry.
And Mark isnt making Katherine do anything she doesnt want to do. I'll bet it's a toss-up as to which of them (Mark or Katherine) wants the win more. After last night's "injury" and the miraculous "recovery" tonight, I hope Katherine is the first one eliminated next Tuesday. I know that's childish but it's the way I feel.
Gee Katherine sure didn't jump up & down like somebody with their back hurt so badly less than 24 hours ago.
It's called GOOD MEDICATION. It's the SAME THING that allowed Derek to dance last night with a back injury, Maria to continue the season with a whole slue of injuries, and football players to keep right on playing when they would otherwise be bedridden.

Again, medication can do wonders. That was something she WASN'T on last night - THAT'S the difference. As I said, pro sports players (and even college players) play ALL THE TIME with what should be totally crippling pain and dangerous injuries. In fact, there's a well-publicized lawsuit against the NFL right filed by several hundred former NFL players contending that they were simply medicated then sent back into play when they had in fact suffered dangerous concussions. As I said, medication can "temporarily" make you feel fine - that doesn't mean you DON'T have an injury.
You can absolutely count on the fact that Katherine given some VERY powerful painkiller.
What do you say about Katherine's response tonight when, after her jubilant jumping around, Tom said he didnt see any signs of a back injury then. She sheepishly hung her head and said that she'd forgotten about her back...and, oh, it was starting to hurt again.
What is so cool about the finals for me is the fact that I like all three pairs of dancers. That has not happened in years. I'll be happy with whomever wins but I'd be happiest if it is Katherine.

Haven't seen it yet, but as I said, painkillers can do wonders - especially when you are DISTRACTED as well. I know that when I hurt my back - which has happened on numerous occasions (sometimes when I didn't do anything that you would think would cause a problem) when I'm doing something else (such as watching a funny movie) I don't think about the pain and so it doesn't hurt as much. When I think about it, THEN I feel the pain. Nothing "strange" about that - it's a well documented phenomenon with much written about it.
Mark admitted tonight it was his fault with his leg out of sync. Replays shoed that to be true. Katherine as well as Maria and others in the past get pain killer injections. With those injections you feel nothing so you can act like normal. I've had them myself. Maria sprained both her legs this season and I believe her back. She's had injections to keep her going. This same scenario has happened in nearly all the past seasons. Unless they break a bone completely they all get medicated and come back.
I'm happy Katherine will be back, she's my favorite, and yes all were excellent dancers in these finals. I did hope Maria wouldake it to be a finalist, she turned into excellent dancer.
I would give the mirrorball to any of the four competing this week. They were all wonderful and most important of all, NONE started out as dancers of some other kind. I'm so glad they stopped that.
During the show I thought about how some of the early winners and contestants would just not make it anymore. They simply never challenged themselves enough. I wonder if the first two season's dances would still 'pass' to a lot of the public over the last couple of times. Yes, they now take dancing lessons first, and if they just aren't getting it they don't embaress themselves. A plus for the audience. But part of it, I think is that without the semipro competition there is reason to see how good you can get.
Tonight...
Brooke in Durass sister dress, aka Klingon 'peek'. Ugh. That dress was UGLY (which I think was intentional) and she needed a bathlet to carry around to complete the show.
Lots of Tristan. Message to ABC. Give Tristan a really GOOD partner next time.
As for the one eliminated, it was sorry. She/he was good. Thing is with all of them good its hard to decide.
So, what 'rules' about this All Stars would you use to pick? No semi-pros?
