I agree, Debbie Reynolds is very annoying, but I believe back in the day, she was some sort of dancer though. But yes, she is annoying. I didn't watch the whole thing.

She was a great dancer/actress. I don't mean to diminish her contributions to musical theatre, etc., and obviously it was nice of Nigel & Co. to honor her by inviting her to guest-judge. It just seems that they could have picked a different way to honor her. As a judge, she really didn't contribute much.

I think really its for the contestants on the show to meet a legend like her and even if she doesnt give any solid advice, the very fact that someone like her gives them positive praise really helps the contestants in thier personal sense of pride and confidence.

I am around dancers just about every day of my life (wife is a former ballroom champion), I "know" Iveta, met her several times and am friends with her pro parter, know a few of the DWTS pros personally and I can tell you that anyone who is into dance, knows Debbie Reynolds.

Its like if you were an aspiring movie maker, and you have Steven Speilberg say "Youve done a great job" after watching your film. Same thing with Reynolds. She's there more for the dancers, than for those at home.

I agree with all of the above. She was on there because she means a lot to the dance and musical theatre/movie world, it's true she wasn't that great as a judge, but it means a lot to the dancers and people who love dance to have her involved.

BUT she was pretty close to as good as many of the 'celebrities' that have judged....

I can't believe Jess wasn't in the bottom. Especially with Nick being in the bottom. Nick is adorable and Jess is so obnoxious.

Iveta's legs are MESMERIZING. Seriously...it's hard to look away from them.

Awww.... I wish they would have kept Iveta and gotten rid of Ryan.

I think it was right to lose Wadi but a shame they couldn't keep Nick. He's really great.

I was bummed to see Nick go, I think Nigel is right that he is a star, I just don't know where he will go to show off his talent, our country doesn't appreciate dance except for hot girls "droppin it" behind some lip synching singer.

While Wadi has the body of death, I think the judges got the boys right. But, while I was not feeling Ivetta for some reason, and I really do feel bad that I just couldn't warm up to the girl, she was the best dancer of all the girls, couldn't they see that??.

I think because she looks older, or maybe has a hard look, something I can't quite place...but Ivetta, really should be on dancing with the stars, she has that look already....

You can pretty much count on that happening.

Iveta was a PRO. A decorated WORLD CHAMPION. The rest of the girls are really just ametures compared to her. Nygel knows how good she is. She is as good, if not better than Karina Smirnoff who is a goddess of ballroom dance.
