I love that they have time for all 4 judges when it comes to Derek. Bethanys footwork wasn't good and she just wasn't 10 worthy. Lea and Artems dance was really good but I think she's done tonight.

I really hope his body holds out until the end because if he left the show would not be the same.

I absolutely hated Kill Gil Vol.I&II. Gil gets on my nerves and it isn't a funny or sweet episode. To me Gil is only funny in small doeses.

Dennis O'Hares down there anatomy is definitely larger than life because he told Thor that he needed a sword then proceeded to have Thor pull his pants down. ETA: By the way I am rooting for Patti L(the maid) to end Dandys life. She's got a new attitude.

This is the song that Lea and Artem are dancing to: I think it's a good choice of song.

I think Antonos rehearsal package bought him another week. There is no way Cheryls fans will let her down after such an emotional week.

Lea and Artem have Argentine Tango next week. ETA: Lea hurt her rib dancing with Val last week. Ugh.

So the dance choices for Lea next week are Samba and V. Waltz. I'm hoping that people pick the waltz because I think she really needs another good week(if she survives the next elimination). Leas only hope at this point is that Anotnio or Tommy didn't pull in the votes needed to move on. I think at this point she is dead meat.

I like the NSYNC episode as well. I loved how everytime they entered the scene they would dance. I also loved this exchange with Homer and Lisa. Homer: Hehe... here comes the jealousy bug! Gonna get ya! Lisa: Hey Homer: Gonna get ya! Lisa: Cut it out! You're a grown man! Homer: :gasp: I wanna go home now!

You hit the nail on the head OakGoblinFly. Lea can be very flirty in her dances (I saw it in her jive) but when it comes to passion and sexy it's just not going to happen. It looks like the teams have been picked and she is on Bethanys team. Lea is joining Janel, and Michael.

I laughed so hard last night at Val and Janels rehearsal package. It was like watching Days of Our Lives. I loved Leah pointing out that Val came back for his keys after he "stormed off".

Alfonso was great last night. I really like what he and Whitney have. I have a feeling that they are on equal ground and both contribute to the moves in the dances. I also like that he was there for her when she was upset over the scores Michael got. It's unfortunate that it is his groin muscle that is hurt because that's one of those injuries that won't heal unless you are resting it(like putting your feet up and doing nothing) for a period of time.

I think Brian Boytano should come on and dance to "What would Brian Boytano Do?"

Seeing as how she is in the middle of the pack I don't think she will end up being a team leader. I think she's going to be our surprise boot of the season. Especially if Artem keeps it up with this whole you have to beat Alfonso bs. Last night he didn't choreograph to her strengths and it showed. She is spunky and has shown that she can move and have fun but he tossed all of that away in favor of her being "sexy" like the other girls. I have to give her props for once again dancing on her own with the troupe because that has to be a daunting task. I'm hoping that next week they have a more traditional ballroom dance because she needs a good week to help her (if she isn't gone next week).

Bethany was really lucky with the dance she got this week because I think had she had a samba or salsa combined with the small amount of rehearsal time she put in she wouldn't have done as well. Derek was smart to use such a dark setting so that he could hide Bethanys feet. Also there was nothing dramatic about that dance.

Artem shouldn't be pushing Lea to be at Alfonsos level because it's not going to happen. Lea has dance ability but is so inside her head that she doesn't let things flow naturally. I'm hoping that maybe now that the judges mentioned her posture he will fix it. I'm surprised that he has won because as a pro he is lacking in some areas. Also normally when a pro is tough on a partner I get it but I felt like his attitude towards her wasn't needed. If they continue on this road they are going to be gone very soon.

Pitbull is a horrible judge and I never want to see him on this show again. Jonathan and Allisons dance just didn't do it for me but he did a great job with it. Janel didn't look that good to me but she wasn't bad either. The choreo was good though. Tommy was better this week but it was still a mess. He definitely is having a hard time remembering the dances and its really showing now. If he makes it to the weeks with 2 dances he's in trouble. I enjoyed Leah tonight and Tom once again was on fire. Antonio was better but still not good. Cheryl did a good job with how she choreographed the number. Lea was not super solid tonight and I had a feeling she wouldn't be. Latin isn't going to be her forte. I was not pleased with Artem freaking out about Alfonso and not choreographing to her strengths. It's bad enough that she is so tough on herself she doesn't need him making her feel less confident. I'm so glad that the judges finally mentioned her posture because it's something Artem hasn't worked on and maybe he will now. Sadie and Marks dance was sweet but I really didn't watch the package because I knew how it was going to go down. Michael getting 8's for that dance?? That score with the comments tells me his fanbase is scary big and they need to placate his fans. Leah talking about Derek not getting 5's or 7s and then Herb Welching him(SNL reference) was priceless. Alfonso dance was amazing and he is definitely heads and tails above the rest. I just hope that he is going to be ok for the future. Whitney is such a sweetheart and I hated seeing her cry.

Thanks for letting me know spanana. It's been awhile since I have seen a salsa on the show so I couldn't remember. Although looking at Artems choreo he doesn't strike me as a pro that likes to break the rules or go super crazy with "mucking about".

I am really curious to see what Lea and Artems salsa looks like. I'm hoping that her working on her show again hasn't hindered their rehearsal time and that it doesn't show in her dance. Looking at one of their rehearsal pics on instagram I'm guessing that lifts are going to be legal tonight.

I wish that the troupe wasn't dancing with Lea this week. I don't watch the show to see the pros I'm watching to see Lea dance.I don't think it does her any favors. Plus with the shit camera work I end up seeing more of the troupe than Lea.

Lea and Artem talk with KTLA5: http://ktla.com/2014/10/16/lea-thompson-and-artem-chigvinstev-chat-dancing-with-the-stars/ I love when they do interviews they are just so fun to watch and it's cool to learn little tidbits about their rehearsals and such.

So Leah Remini is going to be taking over for Erin this week. I wish that Tony was still around because Leah and Tony together are a scream. I wish Pitbull wasn't the judge and I wish they weren't using his horrible music. Why not Gloria Estefan??

That is such a cute picture howmanywords. It sounds like her birthday was a blast. I'm so glad.

The song that Lea and Artem are dancing the Salsa to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI-kgW7Srnc I don't know what to think in regards to how it works for Salsa. I'm not a fan of the song really.

Today on my drive to work while waiting for these kids to cross the street thought to myself "Damn Wiener kids"
