Am I the only one watching this? I'm so addicted! I love it.
I think that Laila Ali is my favorite of the celebrities. She's got a lot of sizzle and natural dance talent. Joey Fatone will probably win it, though. He really pulled it out this week with crazy tricks and amazing energy. It will probably be between Joey and Laila at the end, unless Olympic speed skating gold medalist Apolo Ono can be more consistent in his scores. He's a pretty amazing dancer, but the judges have been harsh with him.
I've been voting like mad for John Ratzenberger, because I want him to stay on as long as possible. I think he's like a cute dancing teddy bear. His partner is really amazing, though I doubt if they'll last more than another week. She and Karina are my favorite dancers on the show.
Karina was partnered with Mario Lopez last time and almost won. Mario was the best dancer, but Emmitt Smith won because of his football popularity and because he's a pretty sexy dancer. Karina was crying earlier in this season because Billy Ray Cyrus is such a rotten dancer and she knew she was doomed. When a celebrity is voted off, their dance partner stops getting paid for the season. I think that's really awful.
That guy Ian from Beverly Hills 90210 really bugs me. I think his dancing has improved,but he's so so phony and stiff. He seems too full of himself, like his character on 90210.
As for the judges, they are very fun to watch, too. Bruno, the little Italian judge, is adorable. He's so cute and passionate. I love how he fights with Len, the uptight, old school British judge who always nit picks the contestants. Carrie Anne Anarbor tends to nit pick as well, but she accuraetly calls the sex appeal when the male celebs manage to find it.
I hope Billy Ray gets voted off this week. He had potential, but he didn't work to improve. This week he just called it in, walking through his performances. Last week he said he hoped he'd get voted off, so I think he's taking a dive.
Does anyone else watch this?

You're not the only one watching, I absolutely love Dancing with the Stars.
I'm really rooting for Laila, especially since she's the only female celebrity left. I do agree with you Maria when you say Joey will probably win and I kinda want him to win. I just think he's so funny plus I was a big fan of N'Sync so to see him working again makes me happy. I also just love Apollo I've been voting for him lately and his partner I can't remember her name but she's such a good dancer and to think she's only 18 or 19.
Billy Ray has got to go this week, he has absolutely no rhythm.

Oh man! John Ratzenberger was voted off. That sucks! I like him and was hoping he'd stay on another week. His partner Edyta is really awesome.
Billy Ray was so much worse than John. I voted for John Ratzenberger 24 times, the allotted 6 on each of our phones and 6 times on the net. Guess he needed a lot more help than that!
Billy keeps acting like he doesn't want to be on there anymore. But I've heard he has a big country music following. Oh well. I'm sure Billy Ray will get the boot next week.

I was shocked when they said John was going home. It should have been Billy Ray but he will most likely go next week. I thought it was funny when John did the Bunny Hop for his last dance.

SlayerLV, didn't it seem like they were saying that John's partner Edyta wasn't going to be on the show anymore? The host said some stuff about how they'd enjoyed working with Edtya all of these seasons. Is she not coming back? I LOVE her! She's my favorite dancer on the show, with Karina as a close second. But I think Edyta has the cutest, sweetest personality of all the dancers.
Billy Ray was dramatically disappointed when they announced that John was going home. I really think Billy Ray wants to go home. He said so last week, then he barely just walked through his dances, and when he learned he wasn't going home, he put his head in his hand and shook his head like he was upset. Even Kraina looked like she didn't want to go on with the show. I think she's been disappointed that he's so bad after she was spoiled by dancing with Mario Lopez last season.

I'm not sure of she's coming back? They did make it seem like she wasn't and that this was her last season.

I think that Apolo and Julieanne stole the show last night with that Paso Double. DAMN! I just had to keep rewinding it and rewatching it. It was amazing. So much passion, great choreography, intensity. HOT HOT HOT!!!
And he jumped so high. Damn! That guy's in it to win it. I haven't been that into him, mostly because his hair and soul patch creep me out. But I gotta say that he really could walk away with the whole thing.
It was so touching to see Mohammed Ali there to cheer his daughter Laila on. She's a great dancer and I loved the part where she blew him a kiss during the dance. I think that she didn't do as well last night because she was specifically not doing the sexy stuff because, as she put it, her dad doesn't like it and he was in the audience. But those moves are what she does best.
Len the judge was seriously irritating me last night. He doesn't like much of anything. Joey Fatone changed his whole style to cater to Len's demands, but that alienated the other two judges, and even then Len didn't give him a 10. Len said the dance was exactly what he'd been asking for, but he still only gave him a 9.
I hated watching Billy Ray. I wished that he had been voted off last week and we were getting to see J Rat (John Ratzenberger) and Edyta being adorable one last time. If Ian gets voted off this week instead of Billy Ray, I'm going to have a serious "Argh"fest. That's just me repeatedly saying, "Argh! ARgh! Argh!"
BTW, Marilu Henner looked fabulous in the audience, didn't she? What is she like 87 by now?

Well I missed the show last night but I did see the results show and let me say Yay! Billy Ray is gone!!! I can't believe that Joey was the other one in the bottom 2, I thought it should have been Ian.

I think everyone thought it should be Ian in the bottom two with Billy Ray. Last week a lot of people assumed Billy Ray would go, but he didn't. My guess is that, like me, a lot of people voted for Ian to keep him from being voted off. That might have gotten Ian more votes. Also, people might have felt sorry for Ian for how harsh the judges were on him and voted for him as a show of support. Ian and Cheryl looked pretty shocked that they weren't in the bottom two. Joey was pretty shocked that he was! I think he pretty cocky and he thought he had it in the bag.
On Jimmy Kimmel's show after Dancing with the Stars, Jimmy asked Billy Ray on a scale of 1 to 10, how much did he want to be voted off of the show. Billy Ray said, "10." Billy said he definitely knew he didn't belong there and can't dance at all. He made it clear that he really didn't like doing it.

Tonight's the finale! Will it be Joey (probably), Apolo (possibly) or Laila (not a very good dancer and definitely a long shot)?
The dances last night weren't as good as last weeks' dances overall.
But Joey Fatone's final dance of the night to the song "Last Dance", was incredible. It started with some classical twirls on the stage in formal, black attire to the soft beginning of the song. Then as the song took off and got disco funky, Joey and his Barbie-like partner ripped off their formal duds to reveal sparkling gold outfits underneath. Then Joey lept off the stage, over his standing partner, doing the splits in the air over her head. The did all kinds of awesome twirls and lifts. It ended with him holding her upside down over the floor. It was pretty over-the-top incredible!
I don't really like Joey Fatone as a person. He seems obnoxious and full of himself. But he's by far the best dancer and I think he deserves to win.

Apolo won! I was kind of surprised, just because he wasn't as good a dancer as Joey. But he's very nice and cute. Julianne is just wonderful and adorable. And she's only 18!
I'm sad it's all over. I'll have withdrawal from the show, but have the last few episodes Tivoed, so I can get my dance fix.
What does everyone else think.

I'm happy that Apolo won but I would be happier if Joey won, they both were great so I wasn't upset when Apolo won. And yea Julianne is just great I think it's cool that it was her first year on the show and she won. Also did anyone see Joey's daughter in the audience? she looked so cute she had on a Princess Leia outfit just like Kym's.

I saw Apolo and Julianne interviewed a couple of times this week. She confirmed that she's only 18 years old. She said she moved to London when she was ten with her ballroom dance teachers to study it intensively. Even though she's really young, she's obviously been doing this a very long time. She's also a singer, and has been studying that just as long.
She's so adorable. I'm hoping that she'll get some opportunities to sing or act out of this. She has such a charistmatic personality that I think she could go far. She looks a lot like Christina Aguilera, but is much more sincere. I think she's proven with the free style dance that she can do hip hop dance. She'd made some awesome music videos.

I'm watching it. I was disappointed that poor Julianne got that awful Adam Corolla as her partner. He's such a rude jerk and such a bad dancer. Looks like they won't be around for long this season.
Kristie Yamaguchi has the most promise. She's amazing!
Several of the men are very good, as well. It looks like it will be a great season. Hopefully, Adam Corolla and Monica Seles will go home first.
