Interesting. That may cost them a good portion of the votes in the U.S. (Oops! We can't discuss why on this forum. )

TONY! I miss him.

I don't care for his haircut and the sportscaster suit though in that clip.

It’s time!!

Here we go!

Knowing that Chandler was taught by Debbie Allen changes how I watch her dancing now. Carrie Ann mentioning how great her technique is, I think, "Well of course. Debbie wouldn't let any student in her class be slouches."

Have Jenna & Val done many dances together on the show? I see Pasha and Daniella highlighted together a lot. And Derek has done dances with Hayley.

Not as much as the other couples it seems.

I think that first dance in their retrospective was one of Witney's best choreography.

I said this last week, but I really wonder how much better Stephen's dancing would have been had he had a more experienced teacher? He's grown a lot, but in my opinion, I don't think he's in the same league as the other three. He's missing a musicality in his body. How much of that is innate? And how much of that could have been worked on with a better teacher? What would Derek have done with him?

It’s possible someone like Derek could have broken through that wall of stiffness with Stephen.

Joey did great.

Carrie Ann made a weird comment about how Joey, being in the top two could potentially be the winner. Potentially any of the 5 could be the winner.

That was a bit odd, but then again it’s Carrie Ann so who knows.

Oh, I forgot prison girl was on the show.

I liked Julianne's comment, "I've got nothing."

So Derek is bad cop tonight.

So Derek is bad cop tonight.

He's got to prove he's got the most integrity when it counts.
