Marie has more fans than Jennie, even if Jennie got a higher score, she will go. Mel might not make it either, Sabrina was the best dancer and got the boot.

Oh God PLEASE don't put reality TV "stars" on DWTS.They already had Trista, who was the first person kicked off the show. One of the more amusing moments of the first season. If Jennie goes next, that means Monique, Ian, and Jennie all got a 30, what must have been a pity 30, right before they left. The only person that didn't happen for was Lisa Rinna. Even with her last dance, she only had a 27. I remember how crestfallen she looked, even though she obviously expected the score. I think she must have been so close to Stacey in votes they wouldn't take the risk. |

Chelsea Handler should be on next season.I'm so voting for her. Helio can't go last in the finals (and if he does, then we'll know it's obvious rigging) so Mel will probably take that spot. Just a slight edge. I never liked the Spice Girls, but Mel being on DWTS and what not made me look into 'em and has certainly made me semi-addicted to some of their songs. |

Another time we had guests in from the Midwest visiting my roommate. A couple of other brainwashers, er I mean MISSIONARIES kocked on the door. I gave the guests a great performance of opening the door and giving them a heavy dose of Psycho New York Attitude, screaming "HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET IN THE BUILDING YOU GODDAMN PIECES OF SHIT!!!! GO BACK TO UTAH WHERE YOU BELONG!!!!!" like a maniac. The boys ran off with their little names tags that bore the designation "Elder" even though they were about 19-20...never came back to our building for some strange reason.... The Midwestern guests were very amused and my roommate and I had a great laugh. Damn Mormons are an endless ourse of entertainment and amusement-and I don't just mean Donny and Marie!!! |

no way could they convert us, we were already brainwashed and might end up converting them.

I found this on the abc website. Sorry if this has been posted before...
THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING COUPLES: Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the public's votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show. For example if couple A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples' share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of 78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let's suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who's eliminated we combine these two shares for the total: Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72% Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33% Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95% In this case, the bottom two couples would be A and C, and C would be eliminated. FINALE WEEK SCORING AND ELIMINATION: During the week of November 26, 2007 ("Finale Week"), the three couples remaining in the competition will compete in two dances on Monday, November 26. The lowest scoring couple will then be eliminated according to the scoring method currently described above. On Tuesday, November 27 (the "Finale Episode"), the couple who received the lowest score on Monday will be announced, and the two remaining couples will compete in one final dance. Each judge will deliver an individual score for this dance. The winner will be the couple with the highest total numerical score (to two decimal places), calculated as the sum of the "Judges' Finale Score" and the "Public Finale Score," as those terms are defined below. Judges' Finale Score In order to determine the Judges' Finale Score, the producers will total the points awarded by the judges to each of the two remaining couples, respectively, for their last three dances (i.e., two dances on November 26 and one dance on November 27). These respective totals will be expressed as a percentage share of the total points awarded to the two remaining couples for those three dances. The points awarded to the eliminated couple will not be considered in this calculation. Public Finale Score The Public Finale Score will be the total public votes from all sources received by each of the two remaining couples, respectively, for their performances on November 26, expressed as a percentage share of the total votes cast for the two remaining couples. The public votes received by the eliminated couple will not be considered in this calculation. Determination of Winner After the judges score the remaining couples' final dance on November 27, the producers will calculate the total Judges' Finale Score and Public Finale Score for each couple. The couple with the higher total numerical score will be declared the winner of the competition. Based on tonight's scores, their judges percentages are: Scary..........60 / 234 = 25.6% Helio...........60 / 234 = 25.6% Jennie.........58 / 234 = 24.8% Marie.........56 / 234 = 23.9% 25.6% - 23.9% = 1.7% difference between the leaders and Marie. She could EASILY overcome that difference with a rabid public vote. I never understood (or cared) how they determined the couple to be eliminated but now I find it very interesting. Now I see how Sabrina got eliminated. It's the JUDGES fault!

What was up with the sucky music tonight. A paso to Satisfaction? I know DWTS has always had sucky dance music, but tonight was tops...
Someone needs to tango to El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge... |

Anyone else get the feeling that Helio and Julianne are doing it? Jennie is going tomorrow (wish it was Helio). Agree about the sucky music.

I wasn't a big Mel fan when the show started. She has grown on me. She tries and seems to be working just as hard if not harder tha she did in the beginning. Jennie definitely wasn't that good in the beginning. But she has improved tremendously. When it comes to improvement I personally think she is number one. I was a big fan of marie's before the show started. Now she just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. IMO she shouldn't even be in the final four let alone the final three. I used to think that people were being overly ctitical of Carrie-Ann. Now I thi9nk they're not being critical enough. Her blantant favorism of the men is obvious. She really went over the top last week by critizing Jennie for her chin of all things. |

This may sound crazy, but sometimes Maks reminds me of a Sesame Street character, like Ernie or Bert... especially when he has his one eyebrow raised like that. |

Since Jennie and Marie are basically fighting for third, I really don't care which one takes it (at least I hope they are fighting for third) Jennie is a
better dancer but I find Marie more entertaining. Apples and oranges and it depends on what the viewer looks for when they are watching. I happen to like
Marie Osmond's dancing just because she is fun to watch although I know Jennie Garth is a better dancer but that is just me.
I've been rooting for M & M and just hope the fan base pulls it off for them. I know nothing about professional dancing but it seems that it is harder for the woman celebrity because it appears it is easier for the woman professional to make the male celebrity look better than the other way around. When I watch H/J, I watch both of them and a lot more times Julianna. When I watch M&M (though I love looking at M.......) Mel grabs my attention and they have been very consistent the entire show where Helio has had some moments where he was not "as" good. I think both of them are great choices for the last two however and deserving of those spots. When all is said and done though (despite my bias towards M&M) I think M&M have done better in their dances collectively with great technique and great chemistry. As far as Jennie and Marie? It's a crapshoot. Some think it is ridiculous that Jennie would not make final three because she is clearly the better dancer and some others just *like* Marie Osmond better. All in all, this was a great season because the competition was pretty tight and this is a very satisfying final four IMO. |

Well looking at that analysis, any of them could be going home because the percentages are so close that only voting really matters.
We don't even know for sure who has been in the bottom two for the past two weeks but based on a gut feeling, I believe Marie was in the bottom 2 the day Jane went home because they specifically said this may not be the bottom 2 and no one would have left Marie in the bottom 2, lingering like that. Last week, I believe it was Helio in the bottom 2 because again it was announced that this may not be the bottom 2 AND the judges worked overtime with the "last man standing,""standout couple," (they wish) and "I will eat my book if he goes home,"just like they did to Joey last year after he hit the bottom 2. I'm not trying to be a delusional fan because I DO think Jennie's going home. I just wanted to point out that I personally don't think she has ever been in the bottom 2 - she's got the insecure woman thing going and she has been the most improved, recovering from that fall all the way back. Regardless, it will be her night to leave. |

As long as Marie doesn't win...and Mel does....all is good.

I have always thought Jenny was a terrific actress (remember the Very Special Episode of Beverly Hills 90210 where she Fingernail Cancer and had to face the shame and horror of going to West Beverly High with <GASP> a FAKE nail?!?!?!? She was robbed of an Emmy for that one-you bethca!), but she just can't seem to learn to use that skill to bring a sense of drama to her dancing. You know you are in trouble when a 50 year-old Mormon chick looks like she is moving with the sexual abandon of a Vegas Strip 'Ho compared to you. And sorry...I still feel shame...but I continue to have impure thoughts about Derek. Derek, if you are reading this I want you to know I am very interested in The Book of Mormon and if you really cared about Heavenly Father you would come over and tell me all about it. In bed. Naked. Well...I suppose you could wear The Garment...I bet that is a really fetchin' fetish!!!! |
