Dancing with the Stars 4/16/07

Joey Fat-one and Apollo were the best the other night. Judges liked Ali more than I did.

When Heather and Clyde were in the bottom two, I was happy. When Clyde finally went home, I was happier. He seems like a nice enough guy, but my goodness he couldn't dance at all. He never got better at all.

I loved Ali's performance a lot. I thought it would be my favorite of the night, but then Apolo's just rocked the house. That was fantastic. They deserved their marks.

The Beatle vote is starting to show strong now....It will be next week or the following week when Ms Mills goes home for good...It is so obvious the judges will not say anything negative about her.

So Beatles fans are mad at the alleged golddigger, but not the Beatle who should have known better? What petty, sexist people these Beatles fans are. These fans should do some research before they start voting based on rumors.

As for the judges, they have always been much too lenient on the men especially Carrie Ann.

Carrie Ann has always been that way. She had an incredibly pathetic hate-on for Stacy Kiebler a couple of seasons ago.

I wouldn't say they're lenient to the men... the men just have it easier.

In a dance, the women does a lot more more. More moving around, more twirling, etc. Just more of everything.


The guy celebrities do less work and have a female pro make the couple look damn good. The guy celeb reaps that benefit in the couple's score.

The female celebrities will never match what the female pros can do and will always be less flashy and have less complicated moves. The conservative dfemale celeb brings down the couple's score.

It's really not a fair competition at all.

I thought Apolo and Julianne stole the show. They were incredible. I was so pumped when they got 10s. Wow.

My favorites to win.

I think it's the other way around. The man has to lead which is harder.

Clyde is a really nice guy and has a great positive attitude, but I'm glad he's gone. It is time for him to go.

I say Billy Ray Cyrus is next since "Hannah Montana" will take a heavier toll on him with two dances to learn for Monday.

And, unfortunately, John Ratzenberger should probably be next. I love how he bring acting to the dance floor but I'm afraid everyone else has better technique.

This definitely was Heather's worst week by far. She really looked like she was dancing with one leg. All of the other weeks, I couldn't really tell. And even I am forgiving on the fall at the end.

I think footwork is a lot harder for women since they have to incorporate all the moves, but leading PROPERLY is very hard to do. When you lead properly, everything the girl does should feel natural and she just has to go with the flow and move her feet correctly. Although, with it being choreographed the two should know what is coming up, shouldn't they?

I do agree that the judges are harder on the women celebrities but the voters don't help either. Up to this point, they've eliminated women one by one.

Clyde has great sportsmanship. But he couldn't believe he's the worst dancer? He must be blind. Billy Ray is following his lead. The two guys are stiff as an ironing boards while the pros dance around them. John is not as bad as those two.
