Dancing with the Stars

Saw only the very beginning. Baking for church function. Was there an elimination tonight? Not asking for details to spare our westcoasters. Thanks

Yes, I was pleased too. Everyone had improved over the week before.

Agree that Rumer & Nastia's performances were very well done, as expected. Divine, we must have the same taste in guys because I loved, loved Riker!!! Also thought that Kim & Robert's dance was very sweet. I liked the paint thing going on with Willow, who danced very maturely for her age. And Suzanne Somers, holy cow!! I felt like her age was absolutely immaterial. I want her legs when I grow up! Noah & Patty, surprisingly smoothly done by both.

So far, so good.Glad that my negative thoughts toward this season are being proved wrong!

I'm going to have to rewind the DVR, I fell asleep and napped through about 40 minutes of the show, but I did see Patty, Riker and Rumer and loved them

I will have to check out the book!

My critique for tonight:

Rumer & Nastia- both very good again as expected.....maybe too good, I saw the technique but maybe not the passion or fun.

Willow & Noah-both did well and very much benefited from great choreography by their partners.

Suzanne & Patti-dances were so/so, but they are both GREAT performers!! FUN to watch because they are having fun.

Charlotte didn't try hard enough & Michael tried too hard.

Chris looked a lot better this week.

Robert-so/so moves but they danced well as a couple.

Riker-still liked him best, he had the technique and the 'pop' as well. 

Oh! Thought I'd posted last week. Still watching!

Amy's book was so good; heart-rending at times to read. She had a Toyota Camry commercial in last night's show. Found out Derek also has a book out, waiting to get that from the library.

Erin...I mute her chit chat with contestants. My husband just laughs when I do. I still don't get the reasoning behind 4 judges. Really, Carrie Ann and Julianne seem to say similar things and their voices even sound alike at times. Len seemed a bit grumpier than usual for the evening.

Yes, the 'most memorable year' theme was good. I liked Willow's dance best, to my surprise. I never saw Hunger Games.

Patti LaBelle is my favorite "older" DWTS celebrity dancer of all time. She is so entertaining. I love how Artem and Tony are both so caring towards their more mature partners. I know Suzanne paid homage to her 3s Company character 'Chrissy' last night, but I hope she chooses to do more with her hair from now on; it's time to retire the shaggy look.

Riker & Allison were too RED. They needed more contrasting costume colors for interest. I agree that Nastia has all the technical moves but seems lacking the passion element. Everyone else seemed okay, nothing too spectacular. I think the ones that can really do well sort of hold back a bit while the ones without talent make enough mistakes to get voted off. Then the better dancers start to bring it.

The elimination was no surprise. I heard that Tom Bergeron knows who's being eliminated before it happens. I swear I saw him give a little nod to the professional dancer who was going to be booted just before they ran up the stairs for their scores, like giving a clue about what to expect. Overall, a good show for the evening.

One more comment about Suzanne. Besides giving her that dorky hairdo, why on earth did the costume designers put her in a costume that hid her gorgeous legs and showed off her rather poufy tummy?

One: Mary Poppins is one of the best movies ever made. So I didn't care for Kym showing all the cleavage, didn't seem appropriate. She should have dressed as a woman chimney sweep. I really like them both but sad to say her & Robert's dance was disastrous.

Suzanne looked much better glammed up, but very poor dancing.

Still lovin me some Patti LaBelle.

Found Nastia ho-hum. Not a fan of Mark's rabbit get-up or his and Willow's routine. Rumor was okay to watch but I wasn't thrilled; didn't care for the costume. The bachelor wasn't bad.

I really liked Noah and Sharna's dance; they have a certain kind of chemistry that is appealing.

Julianne looked fabulous, pink hair and all; loved her dress.

Two: Pirates of the Caribbean music is the best! Riker as Jack Sparrow is the best! Riker & Allison's dance was the best!

Didn't see but bits and pieces but almost choked when Julianne nearly killed herself pulling out those mickey eared paddles lol.

True, I find the simple backgrounds and more pure dance to be the most interesting...but I suppose that 'Disney' and 'hokey' kind of go together.....

My predication is that Chris will be the next to go.

I liked Willow, Rumer and Riker and of course Miss Patti. i did give Robert a vote I know what it's like to get off on the wrong foot, there was one very clever animation it was the Toy Story one and if you looked the dancers and rhe animation were in perfect unison very cute. agree its time for Chris to go

I am very pleased too. A time I am glad to be proved wrong!

Ruth I agree I was so glad Allison was able to get another song assigned. Sad to see Miss Patty go and yes Chris did so much better tonight. i really liked the group dances too and Riker was my favourite tonight and guess what I didn't give give Derek and Nastia a vote at all I just don't feel a connection and I wonder if it's the fact that he's on Broadway and travelling that they're not getting the rehearsal time they need.

This was the first time i thought Rumor looked like Demi. She really looked like her. Or I'm just not good at faces.... LOL the dance was a bit much.

Youch! I imagine one of the other eliminated pros would have to take his place if he can't dance  ????

Even though I don't like Erin, I do feel sorry for her about the boyfriend...hopefully EX-boyfriend by now!

Yes, it may end up being a 'skip a meeting to watch it live' season after all!
