    yeah definitely no need for that to have been a TWO hour show. there was so much fluff I almost couldn't stand it. I eventually stopped watching in real time and watched something else so I could go to my DVR and fast forward through all the nonsense stuff.

    7 couples, 1 and a half minute routines, plus two extra dances. so that's only like 15 minutes of dancing for a TWO HOUR SHOW? that's a bit much.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    My issue with Ryan is that she's totally in her head. It's like she's not at all connected to her body. I bet that if she let herself feel, she would be not only be totally overcome with whatever emotion she pushes down, but would also make magic on stage.

    So far, Marko and Tadd are my favourite guys, and Melanie is my favourite girl. I really don't like Ashley, and felt that she should have gone home last week over Miranda. My predictions for tonight, is that Chris will leave for the guys and I'm hoping Ashley is done for the girls.

    I agree with who went home, although I'm still not a fan of Ryan's. With that being said, her routine with Ricky was my second favorite last night. I really don't like the whole couples thing, I'd like to see it done like last season. I could really focus on the individual dancers, not the pairings.

    After next week they will be dancing with returning contestants from prior seasons. So that should be good.

    I feel like they are purposely (sp?) sending home couples that are paired together. I was actually wanting to see Ricky go home tonight. I thought all three guys did good on their solo dances....Ricky being my least favorite routine of the three. For the girls I only liked Jordan's routine. Ryan looked like she was just throwing herself all around the stage.

    I enjoyed seeing the background on the contestants. I didn't realize Ashley is from Antioch.....only about 20 minutes from me. And Ryan is from Morgan Hill, also close to me. That was cool.

    Oh, and I made a mistake earlier (I think I posted it here) that Melanie was married. Oops! Don't know where I got that.

    Melanie and Marko are my favorite couple with Jordan and Tadd coming in next.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    It's because when they did their 8 second "get to know me" thing near the beginning, she said she was married. I caught that last night, too, when she said "boyfriend." Interesting.

    Melanie and Marko are my favorites, with Jordan and Tadd being my next choice. BUT . . . Melanie is my favorite girl, with Caitlynn in second.

    I really liked all the guy's solos last night, and all the girls (Ryan's was my least favorite - although performed well, I thought it was too abstract for a solo). I think Chris was the right guy to send home, but again, I think paired up with a different partner, he'd have done better. I never felt a connection with him and Ashley.

    I'm excited to see the pros come back, although now I don't want to see Melanie and Marko split up (which is another reason I don't like coupling contestants, I get too attached). Ah well.

    I do agree with who went home last night, but like someone said earlier, they seem to be sending them home in couples this year. I've always found it interesting to see how the dynamics change when they send home the weaker partners of certain pairings and match up the partners who are left. It doesn't look like we will see that this year.

    That said, I like this combination of the original format and the all-star format from last season so far. I'm curious to see which all-stars they bring back this season.

    I like Jordon as well, but I'm bored with her solos. How many times can you stick your leg up in the air in one routine? I'm assuming that's what Nigel cautioned her about last night but he used a dance term that I'm not familiar with.
