    Thanks for putting this up here.  I am a huge ice skating fan, so, sight unseen, I am rooting for Kristi Yamaguchi.  I may change my mind after I see the dancing.

    I love DWTS!

    What are your thoughts on the pros and celebrities?

    To me, Priscilla looks like she has had so many plastic surgeries and she doesn't seem to "look" like either she has aged beautifully or gracefully anymore.

    I am not a fan of Karina Smirnoff ... she seem witchy to me.

    I feel sorry for Edyta ... she doesn't seem to have what it takes to win. She has a beautiful body but strange outfits ... revealing but strange sometimes.

    Don't Edyta and her hubby do a commercial for a jewelry store ("He went to Jared's")?  I know she is in the ad and I am pretty sure he is, too.

    Okay, tonight is the night!  Woohoo....I'm watching 3 reality shows right now.  This will be the fourth and its hard to decide when some come on at the same time.  But this sounds like its going to be a really good season.

    You know, I just found tonight's show with the guys terribly boring.  I didn't even watch all of the show.  I hope the ladies do better tomorrow.  Penn Gillette was horrible.

    DWTS was not all that great tonight i agree! I love the show, i hope the ladies tomorrow night are better. I can't wait to see how Priscilla does. She looks awful and her hair looks stringy! I am rooting for Marissa.

    I didn't think Penn was that bad, but maybe I have no taste Tongue out.  I feel for both Cheryl and Julieanne - if their partners continue as bad as they are, they will be out in a couple of weeks.  Well, at least they will get a rest.  Overall, the level of dancing is way below last season so far, I guess last season they got lucky with talented people.  Tonight should be way more interesting.

    Gale -- I was a little surprised at how Priscella looked too.  I hope they do something with her hair.  I thought the NFL linebacker was pretty good.

    Girls:

    I couldn't agree more with you all - on the quality of the mens' dancing (except the last one) and how plastic and unhappy Priscella Presley looked!!  It almost looked like she didn't want to be there!!  Maybe tonight things will be better.

    Alright girls who watched DWTS tonight? I was surprised how well Priscilla did. Most of them i thought did pretty well exceptMonica and Shannon. But then this is the first week and some can really improve really fast. I thought Penn wasn't too bad either, he did better than i thought he would.

    I missed this tonight.  Too many of my favorite reality shows on at the same time now.  I ended up watching Big Brother but will watch the DWTS online tomorrow at lunch.  I also missed American Idol but that's starting to get boring for me now that the final 12 have been selected.

    My favs were Kristi and, surprisingly, Priscilla.  Priscilla had some very limber moves.  Kristi was just plain elegant. 

    I missed the guys so I'm waiting to see who is a fav there.  How did Steve Gutenberg do?  For some reason he just reminds me of a goofy kid brother.

    I agree, txgrl01, Kristi was my favorite and Priscilla did well.  I didn't think Shannon was that bad, but Monica was the only one out of all the dancers (including the men) that I would say was actually bad.  But then I remember Grand Master P and I think totally differently.Wink 

    Steve Gutenberg charmed the judges - they said he did so-so, but they really liked him.  The fav in the guys is Mario (another Mario!!).  He was really great, but then what do you expect from a 21 year old?

    Marele Maitlin was great! I also liked Pricilla and of course, Kristi.
