Patman

I'd be surprise if Joanna Krupa doesn't get the first boot amongst the females. And then TO can tweet his butt off on her ouster.

DWilson

I imagine that's why they've paired her with Derek Hough, -they probably figure his fan base will get the voters past their natural antipathy towards models. It worked with Brooke Burke...

Patman

Wha? People vote for the pro dancers to stay? I keed.

MadMark

Does Derek Hough have pictures of ABC execs butchering kittens or something? He's gotten Jennie Garth, Shannon Elizabeth, Brooke Burke, Lil' Kim, and now Joanna Krupa.

Macy Gray scares me.

Shinobi

Joanna Krupa and Kelly Osbourne were the big surprises of the night. They both danced much better than I thought they would.

And Macy Gray scares me too.

astrochimp

Joanna and Derek certainly were good and they make a good couple.On a related note i dont think i can take much more of them

I really liked Mya and Dimitry.

Kelly was certainly a big surprise.

As for Macy,she's in her own little world

Jadzia

I think Kathy Ireland will probably be first to go.

DWilson

I see Macy Gray as the first to go: Jonathan Roberts looked liked a concierge leading a drunken hotel guest out the door.

Patman

Kelly has that bubbly pop, and a good partner

Macy is just in her own world. Plus she towers over Jonathan. Wasn't too fond of seeing her bust her ballroom dancing cherry on TV.

Mya is one to watch.

Melissa is middling, not horrible, not great.

Joanna is a front-runner, but needs some tact.

Natalie has a lot of potential.

Kathy is a stiff dancer, didn't realize how tall she was.

Debi is also middling, probably a smidge better than Melissa, but not all that entertaining to watch or listen to.

magiccmom

Kelly Osbourne was a huge surprise. She dances with so much joy it was great to watch. Beauty and elegance in her waltz. I hope she goes far.

Macy Gray has got to be the most awkward contestant, male or female, ever!

Doug Heffernan

Whew, glad to see I am not the only one who can't figure out if Macy is a man or a woman.

Doug Heffernan

I think Kathy Ireland went to the

Belinda Carlisle Ballroom Dance Academy

DRG

Macy Gray is like the female Tracy Morgan.

Kelly was sweet and showed skill and class.

Joanna was pretty good, but I'm just waiting to see how she'll be the moment things don't go her way. Here is uncut footage of her from Superstars (WARNING - contains profanity):

Jadzia

I kinda think Macy will stick around for a few weeks due to the train wreck vote (like Master P and Chloris Leachman.)

Patman

I think it's funny that it took a woman to out-TO TO.

zuffy

Macy Gray is scary. I hope she is gone and then Debi.

Bluelitespecial

I kind of feel ashamed of myself for watching last night, Mya looked hot, and I thought Kelly would be one of the first to go. Now I think it will be Macy Grey, she really looks like she doesn't belong on the show.

Red Dog

I only watched Kathy and Joanna. Kathy's awful. Fortunately, Joanna looks like she'll be on for a long time (btwn her dancing and popular partner). Now she just needs to show off those legs.

Goldberg74

Poor Jonathan.

Shinobi

And now we will never know.

RocShemp

Jonathan deserved a better partner but I'm glad he got eliminated early. I don't think I could stomache watching him suffer like that for another week.

Ranger

I was surprised Kathy was safe over Macy.



Whew!
