Is anybody else getting a little tired of this show? I've been watching it since it started one summer evening.....can't remember what year. I liked it better when the results show was just 30 minutes. Now it's so drawn out.

My only solution is to DVR it. This show and American Idol...the results shows are the most ridiculous, drawn out junk ever. The beauty of DVR is that I can fast forward through the boring junk and get it over with in about 15 minutes. I have no idea what I would do without DVR. It saves so much time.

I don't think the results show has ever been 30 minutes. I"ve watched the show from its inception and always remember it to be an hour long show. I don't watch the one hour recap before the results show. I don't think they've always had the recap show.

I've never watched an entire season. Just catch snippets of it here and there. It seems tooooooooo long and drawn out.

Did you guys watch it last night? My picks for the chopping block tonight are Steve Wozniak, Holly, Denise Richards and possibly Steve-O.

That samba Denise did last night was HORRIBLE! She looked like a rag doll when she was doing her samba rolls. She basically just hung all over her partner. Denise and Holly have the same things going on with their legs - they aren't keeping them closed at the top and taking HUGE steps, which results in that wooden look and no Cuban motion.

I think its time to put an end to this show since so many people are getting injured by it.

Maybe they need to pick people who are somewhat used to working out or something. I really don't know why so many people are geting hurt - and SERIOUS stuff too!!! Millions of us ballroom dance - all over the world - and yet this show seems to have the most injuries. It's insane!

I FF through everyone except Gilles, Melissa, Shawn and Lil Kim. The rest aren't all that great.

Part of it is that celebrities aren't all that fit. Their job is to look good and most do that by not eating. The athletes aren't getting hurt. Steve-O got hurt because he did something stupid. Woz is injured because his doctor said he can't repetitively put 300 pounds on the balls of his feet...makes sense to me.

The other reason I think many people are getting injured is as the show goes on, the dances get harder and harder. The public is watching this and most who watch actually know what a Paso Doble is so our expectations are higher. Cheryl and Gilles tore it up last night. She was even panting and she's the professional! That routine would have sent poor Woz to the ER.
