Ty did pretty good... it must have been the spray tan.

Now to switch to 24.

It's nice that they still can find something for Lacey to do.

Mambo was fun, but Tango team was better.

I really hope Melissa makes it through.

I say Chuck/Julianne leaves.

Sadly, it's either going to be Ty or Melissa. I really like Ty and I'd hate to see him go but if I had to choose, I'd rather keep Melissa since she's the better dancer.

It was great to see Lacey again. I was so envious of Tony given how playful she was being with him.

Something that's been bothering me all season is this pro competition they've been doing. They keep mentioning that the winner will join the cast and be paired with a celebrity next season. Does that mean we'll be getting an extra celebrity or this new pro will replace one for the current pros? If the latter, who's being replaced?

Is it me, or have Lacey's legs gotten slimmer through the course of this season?

She's gotten a wee bit slimmer in general. I just hope she doesn't slim down too much. If she loses her curves, the Tonys and Maksims of the world win.

I noticed Julianne have gotten slimmer. Actually, too skinny. Not as hot as her first couple of seasons. Maybe it's the Chuck factor.

Actually, I've always found Julianne to be a toothpick of a girl. I honestly haven't noticed a change in her at all.

Well, Julianne says that this time she's absolutely, positively leaving. Its not like they can offer her much more to keep her there, -I figure that's why we've got the boyfriend this season, -and she actuually has some awards now for her music act. I'm kind of "over" her this season, so I wouldn't mind a "break".

I'm glad about how this turned out. I definitely did not want to lose Melissa and I think Ty has one more good dance in him. I wasn't enjoying Chuck and Julianne one bit this whole season but they did deserve to get as far as they did compared to everyone who went before them.

Thanks for the info, DWilson. If she is indeed gone, I wont miss her one bit. I think I only really liked her during her first season. After that she's been really blah. But why not bring back one of the previous pros like Ashley or Anna instead of this silly pro competition?

So whatever happened to the "Dance-off"? I think they only did it during the first week of the competition. Did they ever officially announce that they were abandoning it?

I was at the DWTS premiere for the TV show I produce and we interviewed all of the couples.

My only regret to seeing Chuck and Julianne go (though I think Ty was done) was that they were the nicest of the couples by far and seemed to actually enjoy what they were doing.

I'm sad to see Chuck & Julianne go. I thought Melissa had a good chance of going home after the lower rehearsal scores.

They did the Dance-off twice. No, they never said they would end dance-offs. I thought there were going to do it every week too but I guess they saw it as pointless because it didn't make a significant difference.
