Dancing with the Stars - Season 4: Official Thread

[NewJersey]

SO happy clyde went home. His dance Monday night was PAINFUL to watch!

Appollo and Ian are my favorites!

Apolo was AWESOME! Laila was really good too, as was Joey. Those 3 are definitely my faves to win.

The shock on Billy Ray's face said it all last night - he knows that he should have been in the bottom two before Heather was. I don't think she should win, as she's not one of the best, but she is better than Billy Ray (even with as much improvement as he's made) and he obviously knows it.

My guess is that his schedule will get to be too much for him and he'll ask his fans to stop voting for him much like Jerry Springer did last year. You could tell that Jerry was upset that better dancers were going before him and he finally put his foot down after he learned the waltz for his daughter's wedding.

I hate to admit when I'm wrong. But, when I am wrong I own up to it. I was wrong to pre-judge Heather Mills based on rumors, her marriage and her nasty divorce. She may in fact be as much of a witch as I thought she was, but I like the person on DWTS. She's always positive, plucky, charming and friendly. She listens to the judges and she is improving every week. Yup. I like her.

I know I'm not the only one who thinks Apollo is NOT good looking at all. But there is something DEAD SEXY about him. Sheesh. He's definitely a Monet -- looks good from afar!

Does Bill know you have this crush on a younger man???

I thought it was interesting when it was HEather and Clyde in the bottom two, Heather and her partner looked at each other and said, we're going home, its us. Then it was Clyde (I'm glad). I hope Billy Ray Heather and Cliff go home next, in whatever order.

I like, Apollo, Leila, Joey and Ian. THey are all doing great, but would love to see Laila and Apollo in the final.

These are my picks for the last four as well & I agree on Aplolo & Lalia for the final 2!

Actually, I was a little surprised that Clyde was voted off. I thought that (due to the previous seasons) the sports fans would be voting more for him.

John, while I like him a lot, is the next worst dancer. Then Billy Ray.

I agree with others that the judges are playing favorites with Heather due to her leg. She is doing well considering. But she isn't as good as they're making her out to be. But then, I didn't think that Emmitt was as good as everyone thought either.

I think Ian could be really good if he would work a little more and relax while he's out there.

Oh, I think she's doing really well - I just don't think she's good enough to beat Joey, Apolo and Laila. Ian is probably a better dancer than her too. But it's hard not to like the person she has presented herself as on this show - she's giving it her all and seems to be a very likable person. I'm impressed at how well she is doing, I really am.

I do think the judges are being a little nicer to her than they would be otherwise - their scores are a little - but not a lot - higher than they should be.

I can see Billy Ray asking to get voted out too - I agree, his schedule is going to kill him, and he obviously needs all the practice he can get. I'm sure when he agreed to do the show that he assumed he'd be one of the first one out and wouldn't have to worry about the conflicts.

John, well, yeah, he's really not very good, but I love to watch him because he is obviously really enjoying himself (unlikely Billy Ray who looks completely uncomfortable with the whole thing). Like Bruno said - the best worst Samba he's ever seen. I totally agree - he did a lot wrong but was still fun to watch. He had a total blast with that dance!

If it were up to me, I'd see the following order for elimination:
- Billy Ray
- John
- Heather
- Ian
- Joey
- Laila/Apolo - either one winning would be fine with me, although I think Joey could do it too. He's just a little less good than Laila and Apolo

Of course, I'm not voting at all, so it is definitely not up to me.

Dude, HE AGREED!!

I am probably in the minority but I like Joey, Ian and Laila better than Apollo (though I think Apollo is a good dancer). His performance is lacking something, for me (I think the word is ZAZZ!). Joey is a far better entertainer of the 4. And as we all know...cough...Emmet...cough....the performance is often as important as accuracy.

Joey's way too cheesy for me. i just can't take him seriously, espically as a dancer. it always looks like everyone else puts so much work and time and effort into their dances(save for Clyde.....but he's gone now) and yet Joey comes out trying to act like a goofball and it's more annoying than anything.

oh come on, Apolo's dance last night DEFINATLY had "Zazz!"

Apolo still hasn't won me over. Maybe it's that chunk of hair on his chin? Or the bandana? It drove me nuts when Mario wore those headbands. I am not quite sure what it is - just not feeling a connection there. He's fun to watch and can dance, which I figured he would be able to do based on his skating, but he hasn't made me care one way or the other about him. Not sure if that makes any sense but I guess I am waiting for something.

Anyone find the Jimmy Kimmel skit hilarious? I couldn't help but laugh when "Yo-ey" said, I got your lady! to Jimmy. I like a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously, can make me laugh, and can dance! Joey gets my votes so far this season!

I am not a big fan of Maks but Laila has me pulling for her too. I am glad this season is interesting since American Idol is rather boring this year.

 

[Jeafl]

I think the best dancer in the entire program is Julianne! She is amazing for an 18-year old. I think she is even better than the other professionals almost twice her age. No wonder Apolo looks so good.

I hope Apolo wins the whole thing, but I also like Joey, Laila and Ian.

 

[RUDisney]

I like Laila and Apolo to be in the finals.

Joey is just too big to be a dancer, as is Cliff, aside from Cliff's inability to dance.

I agree. Apolo is nice to look at from afar, but up close... ewwww!

I wouldn't mind seeing Ian wear more skimpy shirts, or none at all. Man, is he built!

Billy Rae has near begged to go home and evidently the Hanna Montana crowd isn't listening.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

i didn't really care for Joey's dance. it was kind of boring.


and Joey.....you're not gonna beat Apolo's samba sorry.

 

[NewJersey]

I felt like Joey and his partner were doing two different dances.

 

[SeaSpray]

I could sop Joey Fatone up with a biscuit!

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

I felt like Joey and his partner were doing two different dances.

i know! they were barely even dancing together. and that didn't even look like a samba to me, at all.

 

[tinknme]

I hope to see another 30 from Apolo!

and Joey.....you're not gonna beat Apolo's samba sorry.
