Obviously I haven't seen it yet, but it's time for Kelly to be gone.

big whoppa · 11-16-09, 08:26 PM

I haven't seen it either but it's either going to be Donny or Kelly. Of the 2, Kelly should go home but Kelly seems to have a bigger fan base.

DWilson · 11-16-09, 10:52 PM

Based on the combination of points and fan base, it should be either Donny or Kelly. The judges made it clear how they want it to go down, -I'm guessing they'd like Donny out.

zuffy · 11-16-09, 11:25 PM

I will just call BS if Joanna win instead Mya. Same thing when Emmitt Smith won it.

magiccmom · 11-17-09, 07:58 AM

Please let it be Donny! Time for him to be GONE

big whoppa · 11-17-09, 09:33 AM

I love just about every Mya and Dimitri performance. Tonight was no exception. It should be no surprise that she can dance because she's already done a Janet Jackson tribute and did a dance routine in the movie, Chicago. Unless Mya makes a big blunder in the finals, there's no way she's going to lose the trophy.

Doug Heffernan · 11-17-09, 01:25 PM

Mya has no heart, she's a robot. I'd much rather see Kelly win - but it ain't gonna happen.

big whoppa · 11-17-09, 06:55 PM

^Because Mya doesn't cry at a drop of a hat and curse like a sailor? I have no problem with Kelly but she's a drama queen. Besides, she's gotten pretty far in the competition. She's just not the best dancer.

Red Dog · 11-17-09, 07:03 PM

If Kelly wins, the show has become a complete joke. Joanna is the best of the rest IMO, but I don't think she has any shot of winning.

Regardless, I think I'm out after this season. It's just way too drawn out. Perhaps I'll watch the spring season later on if there are repeats of my other Monday shows and college hoops is over.

cmleidi · 11-17-09, 09:01 PM

I don't think any of them are great dancers. Mya and Joanna have no chemistry with their partners. Derek is trying way too hard to prove the tabloids wrong about his love life. Mya behaves like she's dancing alone. Kelly is not the best dancer, but her joy at dancing makes up for it. I would rather see her dance than Mya because Mya's dancing is so free of passion and emotion. It's all technique. I can't stand Donny Osmond so I don't watch his dances so I don't know how he's doing.

My guess is that Kelly will go, but I hope it's Joanna because I'd like to see someone new win the trophy. I'm fed up with the Hough/Ballas domination.

GuessWho · 11-17-09, 10:07 PM

Wow. The person who IMO should win just went home.

Red Dog · 11-17-09, 10:22 PM

Who was it?

lacubs · 11-17-09, 10:24 PM

that was BS big time!

cmleidi · 11-17-09, 10:29 PM

I am thrilled with who went home. This person had absolutely no chemistry with his/her partner, and except for one dance (the decades episodes), I couldn't describe one dance he/she did.

My sister and mother called it though. They both said that person was going to go because he/she was so unlikeable and his/her partner was annoying.

Perfect timing that her Playboy spread is out.

big whoppa · 11-18-09, 03:19 AM

I was really surprised though I caught the Yahoo headline about the fans disagreeing with the judges. You just can't discount their fan bases. Those Mormons and devil worshippers are out in full force.

I still believe the real contest should have between Mya and Joanna with Mya coming on top. I didn't really care for Joanna (just another blond model) but she was a good dancer. The only minor fault I have with Mya is that she barely looks at Dimitri. As bad as a dancer she was, Cloris was right about that.

Doug Heffernan · 11-18-09, 07:40 AM

Not that I am some huge Kelly Osbourne fan

, but I think some others above put into words what I was thinking about Mya and Krupa. There is no passion, no connection (with partner or audience). Sure they are way better from a technical standpoint than Kelly, but in any televised/voted on singing or dancing competition, other factors have to come into play as well.

I would much rather watch Kelly dance than Joanna or Mya, and so if I voted, I would vote for her.

Donny seems way to desperate to win. I get the sense that somehow he thinks that winning this will somehow give him redemption in his career and the love of America back again. It's pretty sad.

Red Dog · 11-18-09, 09:33 AM

No reason for me to watch anymore.

DRG · 11-18-09, 09:48 AM

Joanna wore her attitude on her sleeve a bit too much at times and I don't think she ever came off as 'endearing'. She was an angel compared to how she was on The Superstars, but on DWTS where likability is at least 50% of the battle it's enough to send you packing when you're up against Mya's 10s, Kelly's underdog charm, and Donny's dedicated Mormon fanbase.

Not to mention millions of viewers scratching their heads thinking "Who is this woman?"
