In other important news who is getting booted from DWTS?

[Lucky9teen]

No doubt...I think the only other contestant that sucked as bad as Penn does, was when they had Master P on...I mean, come on...they need to pick people who can actually dance and don’t look like big oofs out there, stomping around stage. At least Penn is trying...

And by the way...I think the judges are pretty lame. They give Penn this awesome review, but totally bag others that danced really well, imo. I hate it when they “pimp” certain people.

At least Penn is trying...

That's my litmus test too. Remember Tucker Carlson was another who didn't try, spent zero time practicing. The reps of the pro's are on the line and I hate when they get bums who don't give a crap.

Kristi on the other hand is the best celeb I've seen ever.
She deserved 10's last night, she looks prettier than I've ever seen her and for a mom of two.

Michael Johns (1978) - Lay Down Sally (Eric Clapton)

Michael's voice and singing style are very reminicent of Clapton's, so 'Lay Down Sally' might be a good choice for him. I could also see him doing a good job on Rod Stewart's 'You're In My Heart' (a favorite of mine). But I'd like to see Michael do Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'What's Your Name' to rock it up a bit. He's had a string of dull performances and needs to bring some life to the party.

[Wolfstar]

Michael Johns doing the Bee Gees or Andy Gibb with that Aussie accent!

Noooooooo....

On the other hand, if he doesn't wake up his performances soon, he won't be "Stayin' Alive" in this competition. ;-)

[Wolfstar]

Have you listened to their new record?

No, but I'll look to see if they have a My Space page with links to the music there.

Let me be the first to offer up barf bags prior to Kristy singing “God Bless the USA” I fear she will destroy yet another good song.
With that angel on a Christmas card routine of hers, she would be better served by a Disney tunes week.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Are those the real songs they are singing tonight?

[Miss Didi]

Yes, they be the songs. Not bad, with the exception of Michael Jackson.

[rock_lobsta]

For the guys - Carollo should go. I was looking at Julianne (as usual) last night, and it was clear that she was not happy with his attitude.

Yeah, Penn is at least trying - also looks like he’s trimmed down a little.

For the ladies - Monica. I feel for her. She’s trying also, but she dances as well as I do.

I do believe that we have Successfully Saved Shannon.

Overall, this is possibly the best group of celebs ever.

[MagUSNRET]

HIya :-) Nice to see you-(catch you in a few in the Lounge ;-)—I know you like Kristy—I just think she isn not yet ready for “prime time”—but hey, that is what makes this show fun...we are all “experts” LOL!!!! ;-)

[rock_lobsta]

Kristi on the other hand is the best celeb I've seen ever.

At this early stage - Kristi is fantastic. She could be dancing on par with the pros by the time the finals come.

[rock_lobsta]

See you all on the thread tonight!

[Lucky9teen]

Adam Corolla is the only reason I’m wathing this year. ;)

[Miss Didi]

This is the one I love...

[Lucky9teen]

thomebody gave me thum thinamon...
