I really liked Jaleel. Never picked up that "jerk" or "arrogance" vibe from him but then again I don't really keep up with the personal lives of strangers. I knew he wasn't going to win though. I probably won't watch the show anymore now that he's gone.

Oh I'll watch Donald & Peeta. I think Roshaun will be gone next week...he just doesn't have the fan base.

I'm afraid Roshon will be leaving soon, and I'm really sorry, as he's such a cute kid and seems nice. I like to watch him dance. There some darn good dancers this season and I'm really enjoying the show. I guess I'm kinda hoping Katherine will win, but think Donald and Maria good, too. William has some wonderful moves, of course, and his huge fan base (NEW fan base???) may carry him to the top. Carrie Ann seems to be "the bad guy" lately, even more so than Len. I do think the judges have been too hard on Donald, but then, I don't know a lot about ballroom dancing...just love watching.

I like your take on it, very nice! I keep wondering about Donald (I'm in Wisc. major Pack/Donald fan), is it because they expect so much out of athletes (think Emmett and Hines)??? They're tough on him. Roshon has done so much, come very far being young, perspective wise, difficult for him.

I do like Katherine a great deal and she may win, I'd like to see Donald in the final 3 at least.

Many people don't get Len, if they read articles, things about him, he is at the top of the profession in terms of ballroom, no debating it. I love the license on the limo that carts him around, Dancemaster!

Carrie Ann and Bruno are fine, a little over the top but they know what ballroom takes, elements required for the dances, just caught up in the "flash and foo foo" sometimes!

OK, I'm trying to sort out what will happen on Monday DWTS! Two dances for the couples and one of them will be a trio with another pro??? Donald has tango and jive, the additional pro will be Karina. Melissa and Maks will have Val, understandable.

This is something new, right? I don't seem to remember them doing this before. I'm trying to find out the other couples, might have to listen to all the videos from on the red carpet site. DD tweeted his.

What do you mean a trio? As in - two pros and one star all dancing one dance together? That sounds bizarre.

Not that uncommon or bazarre. The pros have danced this type of dance quite a few times. They'll probably do the dance as some kind of story - such as "a wife/girlfriend competing with another woman for her husbands' attention" or "two guys constantly 'cutting in' against each other in a dance with a woman". It's not hard to come up with a number of "scenario dances".

That usually comes on towards the end of the season. I LOVE Dance Center

Random comment: One thing I'm really starting to dislike about this show is the casting. No, not the celebrities they get, but the fact that Derek Hough is always paired with someone who has one of the best chances to win, and someone like Tony Dovolani (who is a CLASS ACT 100%) is always paired with someone very old or just someone in general who has basically no chance to win. Seriously, Derek is on his way to winning again. I think this show would be more entertaining if the partner drawing was completely random. That way, the professionals having a chance to win would be different each season.

I don't know, just a thought I felt like sharing. Anyone else have anything to add to this?

P.S. - Bruno saying watching Roshon dance to that Jackson 5 song a few weeks ago was like watching a young Michael Jackson dance was 100% absurd and ridiculous. Sorry, I sometimes just hate when the judges spout off nonsense because their caught up in the moment haha.

Derek probably has it written into his contract that he gets first choice of the stars for each season. I suspect he chose to sit out one recent season because he wanted certain demands and didnt get them. Than, when DWTS learned how popular he really is, they relented and gave him what he wanted: more $$$ and certain demands.

Don't know why I was thinking it was week #8 when they did. I love it too. Oh I think the whole thing is rigged, but I don't care, still love the show!
