Dancing With The Stars - Season 6

[Niecyboo]

I was wondering about Shannon and Derik myself, then while watching DWTS the other night, I caught a commercial for The Bachelor, and it suddenly hit me. DWTS has a better couples success rate than Bachelor does! Maybe The Bachelor needs to rethink its format.

[murphy1]

I thought they might be, too. They look like they might be about the same age, but they are 12 years apart! My mom is a few years older than my dad (not that much) and they have been married 43 years. Derek is a heck of a lot cuter than her ex-husband, he was scary looking.

Speaking of The Bachelor, Lorenzo Lamas daughter is on it. I really like the girl from Florida (of course LOL)!

There you go--just make them work out together doing ballroom dance for 8 hours a day and you would see very quickly who would be compatible and who would not! And it would be a lot more interesting than the silly hot tub parties.

I really wanted to smack Samantha Harris, she kept badgering Shannon and Derek. I still like them, in my top three. Jason was so funny, he was great as usual but was counting the steps. I'm so excited Apollo and Julianne are doing a dance in an upcoming show, yay!! My favorite all time couple! Marlee is amazing, she dances so well, she is just such an inspiration.

The Bachelor, hysterical, the Florida girl hired actors to portray her parents, the lady was hitting on the poor guy. He looked so blindsided and took it well. Lorenzo Lamas looked like he had quite a bit of work done but not as bad as Priscilla.

Didn't you just want to tell Mario and Karina to "go get a room" lol?

Wonder who gets the encore dance tonight...I hope it is Tony and Marissa, she is definitely the Most Improved of the group!

And Samantha Harris needs to remember what channel she is on....Mondays and Tuesdays is ABC, the rest of the week is E!...she needs to not do the "national enquirer" questions on DWTS lol! Everyone sitting behind Derek and Shannon looked uncomfortable for them!

Blech! The group dance.

I wasn't really paying attention during the first part of the show during the recap. What was Derek going on about? Yes, this is definitely a different side of Derek, and I don't like what I've been seeing lately.

And Cheryl and her 'si's' are cracking me up.

ETA: I'm not surprised to see Mario in the bottom 2. I'll miss Fabian. I really liked him, and hope he comes back next season.

[coloradowendyl]

I really liked Fabian as well and wondered if they hand picked him specifically for Marlee. He seemed to have a pretty good grasp of how to communicate with her and lead her by touch. He seems to have a really kind soul...at least that is the perception I got.

Etdyna looked down right scared last night....I think she was convinced she was going home!

I was glad Shannon and Derek or Edyta and Jason did not go home last night.

I am looking forward to seeing Maksim and Mel and Julianne and Apollo on the upcoming show.

[Melanie]

He seems to have a really kind soul...at least that is the perception I got.

Me too! I do hope he returns.

And I've read a little more on Derek and Shannon's 'fit', and I just have to remind myself that he's young (although she can't use that excuse). I see it wasn't highly thought of by others either.

I just don't think Shannon's that good, or at least not as good as she thinks she is. Very stiff, and I don't care for her personality either.

[Disneypixie513]

I'm sorry to see Marlee and Fabian gone. I hope he's back next season.
I loved the group dance..So cute.

Yea Shannon and Derek's outburst was a little..Overdramatic..His outburst didn't bother me as much. But the judges were right..Not much hip action..She was way to over-dramatic. :/ They're just trying to give her construtive critisism..At least they did apologize about it.

[Melanie]

Bummer.


From People.com:

DWTS’ Cristian de la Fuente Injured on Dancefloor

Cristian de la Fuente’s samba came to halt Monday night — and the Chilean soap star was sent to the hospital — after suffering a severe muscle cramp in his arm on the Dancing with the Stars dancefloor.

“It hurts,” de la Fuente told cohost Samantha Harris backstage, holding an ice pack to his left forearm. “It hurts the arm and it hurts that I couldn’t do it, you know, it’s tough.”

Still, he put on a strong showing. Seconds after hurting himself, the actor faced the judges, insisting “I’m fine,” and clutched his arm in obvious pain before going to commercial break. During the dance he had tried to shake off the injury, but he pulled back from lifting his pro partner Cheryl Burke off the floor.

“When we were dancing I fell back into his arms and I heard something crack,” Burke told PEOPLE between tears after the show. “I am so worried. He is not a wuss. He tried to finish the dance.”

The EMT on site diagnosed a “severe muscle cramp,” cohost Tom Bergeron told the audience.

Meanwhile, the judges, who gave the couple straight 7’s (21/30) for their performance, had encouraging words. “I really appreciate you went the whole round and you were there for Cheryl,” judge Carrie Ann Inaba said, while Bruno Tonioli told him: “I hope you’re coming back because you are a great performer.”

Well, I love DWTS, and get it a week later over here in the UK.
So much better than ours, Strictly Come Dancing
My favourite couples are Shannon and Derek. NOT because I like Shannon one bit [don't like her personality] but because I LOVE Derek.
I met him last summer when he was touring with the cast of Footloose [playing Ren] and he was such a nice person.
That personalitly he has on the show is exactly the same as him in 'real life'.
Since then, I have watched DWTS religiously
And his and Mark Ballas' band is great! Called Almost Amy.
Ooh, and I was very upset when I heard about his accident and food poisoning

So just want to know what your thought are about him/pairing with Shannon?

Thanks guyss

[Btw, I'm 15 before anyone asks ]

[Melanie]

Hooray!!! Bye, bye Shannon. I can't help but think their actions last week hurt them in the voting this week.

I think it's going to be hard for Christian to continue, and Cheryl is going to have to do some tricky/clever choreography to cover his injury. Can't wait for next week!

[Disneypixie513]

I'm sorry to see Shannon gone for only one reason: Derek!
He is probably my favorite male pro..He's so darn cute!
I'm glad Christian is continuing. He's really improved.
Now to get rid of Mario and Karina.

[RedSoxFan]

I was happy to see Shannon go too. I didn't care for their outbursts last week. Although, I was hoping Karina would go. I just don't like her; but I do like Mario. I will miss Derek.

[RAIDER]

I am not really worried who goes out now as the final will probably be Jason and Christina

I just have to make a comment about the DANCECENTRE feature they did on DWTS ..i fell off my seat laughing so much at some of the comments made ...Lets hope they do this again

[Melanie]

Does anyone know what the piece of paper is that Carrie Ann hands to someone behind her after every dance? I've just noticed it in the past few weeks, and it's bugging me.

Its all the judges scores ..so its all above board

[Melanie]

so its all above board

I feel really stupid, but what does that mean?

[Melanie]

Wow, Cheryl did a great job on the choreography and they really pulled it off.
