Go Ralph Macchio GO! Damn, that caught me completely by surprise. That guy is quite a smooth dancer. And he looks great.

Wendy Williams was far and away the worst of the night IMO. For a minute there I thought I was watching Master P in drag. I thought the two biggest surprises were Kirstie and Ralph. Its early, but I can see those two making the finals.

Yeah, pretty good start. Ralph and Jericho did better than expected.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, but Kristie Alley was actually impressive!

Kirstie Alley surprised me. There was some pretty stiff dancing (by a few of the guys). I thought the Karate Kid seemed to be out of control or trying hard to keep up with Karina at times. Can't believe Ralph is 49 years old now.

More than impressive. She was damn near amazing. I really hope she sticks with this and loses the weight she's been desperately trying to lose for years. She really is a beautiful woman. And she did a great job tonight.

and from the movie thread about time passing ... Pat Morita was only 3 years older when the Karate Kid was released than Ralph Macchio is now.

I tuned in to watch Jericho but I wanted to say that DwTS has very current music. I know it gets great rating but lower demos than American Idol but I cannot believe how cheap American Idol is with regards to getting song rights. DwTS has current songs while American Idols has
Spoiler:
yet another motown night.
Come on, the number rated show on television and we get that every time. Lame.

Kirstie was so impressive. As a bigger woman, she sure knew how to move her body, and she has great musicality and sensuality. What I also loved is even though she made jokes about herself, she didnt make herself a joke. I half expected her to try to beat everyone to the fat jokes first, but she didnt, and now I totally respect her and what she is trying to do. I hope she continues to take the dancing seriously, while not taking herself to seriously. And I love that she is paired with Max. He will bring out the best in her.

Wendy Williams needs to go. I dont understand how or why this woman has her own show or is even considered anywhere remotely talented. She is uncomfortable to watch, in dance and in everday life.

The radio guy was terrible, what barrel's bottom were they scraping to come up with him?

I fear Kirstie will suffer a heart attack on live TV this season...

Yeah, it was a toss-up between the radio guy and Wendy Williams. Wendy might be able to overcome the timidity on the floor but the radio guy was far more choppy and awkward. Unless he can improve next week, he's going home.

I like the Disney girl and the model and of course, Ralph and Kirstie. Ralph is 49 and Kirstie is 60! I'm feeling old. There hasn't been anyone on the show who could move that well for that age. And if those two make it to the finals, we'll have Maks against Karina which would be interesting in of itself.

Hmmmm....I was going to bail on this, but if Ralph looked good, I might have to watch for lots of Karina.

Sucks that there's no Edyta....what happened to her?

She stated that she was moving on from DWTS last year.

It's still early in the game but it looks like Karina hasn't had a partner this good since Mario (the Saved by the Bell one--not the singer).

Totally agree!

Although she's the same age as my Mom I give her big props for putting herself out there. She takes a lot of shit by 'daring to be fat' and still have a career in Hollywood. And I think its time people cut her some slack.

I don't look at her as a sex symbol and I don't think she expects us to. Yes she has a big ass and big legs. So does my Mom and most other woman in the Midwest (where incidentally Kirstie is from). I wouldn't call my Mom a 'PIG' and I'd kick the ass of anyone who did.

Yeah, I'm talking to you George Lopez, who has the balls to cheat on the wife who gave him her kidney so he could stay alive and still give other people shit. Stay classy George!

I hope Kirstie goes all the way and I'd root for her over Kendra or any of the more 'physically appealing' contestants any day.

Let's hear it for the Moms!

Pyscho Mike should get the boot first. He improved much better tonight but he is still too awkward. His lowest combined judging scores aren't going to help him out either.

Last week was more entertaining but Kirstie and Ralph were worth watching.

Karina, please stop pumping crap into your lips!

The results show was rather boring last night. Maybe it's because the elimination was a forgone conclusion.

Selena Gomez' dress looked like she decided to wear Abelardo Montoya's (the Big Bird equivalent of Plaza Sesamo) severed head.
