Ya, I really enjoyed Denises' quickstep and think she can do really well.

Cchuck. I wasn't impressed with his attitude about the Salsa. He is perhaps too young to know what masculine is. It's about being unafraid - see Ty.

He seems to have the physical ability to do the dances, he's got to get the emotional stuff in control...or out of control since he's got an apparent image problem. Sometimes it's just a maturity thing..see Jerry Springer. Shawn's just honest and self-aware about it. It makes her giggle. Very age appropriate.

Ya, see? Lil' Kim is really good. Good mover, good stage presence, good entertainer. Don't think I ever heard her music. I don't hear a lot of music.

Shawn's another really good one. I don't necessarily like the best dancers. I just like the dancers I like.

I like her.

She can really move. She may have technical issues that I don't see, but they all do since they're all not dancers. I guess except for Melisa who has dance experience.

But even so, it's still largely a popularity contest. Those who have a large following and those who develop one on the show combined with dance ability.

Melisa's up. Really not a favorite. Be interesting to see what happens. Will it be sympathy votes? Will it be her dancing? Can anybody tell for sure?

I'm just not entertained by her dancing as I am with others. I like Holly and Denise a lot better. And I know the judges like her a lot. I never do get the judging.

Gilles. It sounded like Tom said "Jill' for the pronounciation of his name. I'll have o keep lisening to see if I can figure it out. It's a great name, however it's pronounced. I missed his first dance, then really liked his quickstep. It can take some time to get to know people I haven't seen before so I don't know if I like him yet or not.

Oh, Samantha's got a great dress tonight. Like the color a lot.

Ooh...big band stuff. Who's the band? Real good stuff. The pros doing a fourtys style dance. I think. This is very fun. Lots of brass. Looks like they all had fun. I sure did.

Tom is very funny.

So far 2 of my favorites made it to next week. David and Shawn.

Lil' Kim's back.

A dance company's doing a very fund routine, more big band sound, but not 49s necessarily. I wish they'd show the band and singers more, though. Really like this song, too, whatever it is. Great arrangement. Mickey Rooney's there tonight. Talk about a favorite. Is he the best or what? The best is the only answer.

Jewel's singing, Over the rainbow. She's doing real good with it, too.

Wonder who's thinking of Judy Garland?

The thing about dancers is that they have get up close and personsal with total strangers and act like it's pure animal attraction. I guess they get used to it like any job. And they probably don't mind and probably don't take it personally.

Really good song from Jewel and a good dance. I really like this show.

The next computer I get if I get one's gonna be an apple. No more windows. Ever. I've got MSNtv2 which is cheap, but doesn't work lots and lots of internet. The company, MSN, has to add things. Like the newer flash abilities. I can't download. So I can't use the tv sites to vote for Dancing and other sites, whatever.

So, two favorites face the dance-off. Belinda and Steve the Apple guy.

I don't think my favorites have ever won, come to think about it. I'm not the go-to person to predict winners, that's for sure.
