Tonights show reminded me of why I stopped watching this show seasons ago. It's no longer about stars learning how to ballroom dance and the Hough pimping is too much to take. I have a feeling I'm not going to like the final 3 and will be recording the finale and fast forwarding through a lot of it.

Tom to Jessie J after giving Antonio a 6. "You might want to have someone start your car for you tonight." Tom on Lea and Vals dance: "That was like Mamas Family the musical".

The scoring tonight was horrible and so many degrees of wrong. Janels burlesque number wasn't even dancing and yet she got the same score basically as Alfonso?? I enjoyed Jessie J and was so shocked when she gave Antonio a 6. I think Bethany did so much better with Mark. I knew that she would do better with him because he will bring out the fun side of her. Also Mark made it all about her whereas Derek makes it all about him. I think it's also the best she has done. If Julianne repeats Carrie Ann one more time I am going to scream. She is just so useless and we really don't need another Carrie Ann. Burlesque needs to never be done again on this show because it's' never going to be done in the proper manner. Micahel and Whitney made me reach for the brain bleach. I thought Jonathan would be better with Peta but he was still a mess. I, like Jessie J was scared shitless watching Jonathans dance. Seeing Tonys audition video was priceless and the best part of the show. Tom's quips tonight were perfection and really helped the show from becoming a huge bummer. Tommys tell it like it is attitude and responses are perfection. I knew Sadie would do well with that dance but I didn't care for Dereks choreo on this one. I also wasn't a fan of the song that they danced to. Off topic Ming Na Wen is looking FINE! Pitbull equals me hugging my toilet bowl. Lea and Val did a really good job and the choreo was great. I really dislike the other dancers though. Once again they aren't needed. If they do another switch up night(which I am sure they will) they need to stick to ballroom. Tonight as a whole didn't work for me.

According to Melissa Fumero's twitter the Jake having Amys baby banter was improv. This episode was so funny and I'm so glad that Rosa is going to head the task force. This show continues to kick ass and I really hope that it's doing well in the ratings.

According to Cheryl she and Alfonso are dancing 4th tonight. For others this would be a horrible spot but Alfonso will be fine. Last week helped him a lot.

So if they don't do an elimination this week does it mean that next week they have a double elimination? I have never watched the switch up week so I have no clue what to expect.

One of my favorite moments in the Regina Monologues is when Homer is in prison. Homer: "It's a good thing I'm leaving before I went Nuts. Goodbye Sparkly elves. " Sparkly elves: "Goodbye."

Here are some rehearsal pics from Cheryls Twitter: https://twitter.com/CherylBurke/status/521083420399525888

This episode was ok. I really, really wish that we would have gotten a Vincent Price sketch. Stefon will never not be funny to me. I like Kristen Wiig but tonight was just WAY too much. Cecily Tyson's Sophia Vergara was perfection. Whoever played Bill Offerman in the game show sketch did a bang up job. Herb Welch on my tv screen makes me a happy girl. I thought the SoCal sketch was awful it just dragged on and it wasn't funny at all. I wish that the musical guests only got to do one number. Most of these current "musicians" and "singers" aren't good enough for 1 song let alone 2 songs. On an non Bill Hader note I hadn't realized until this season how much I really like and look forward to seeing Taran Killam.

I LOVED the Sweeny Sisters sketch. The look on Paul Simons face always cracks me up. Also I remember when she was on Desiging Women. I was shocked when I saw that she had died. Definitely too soon.

Supposidly Val and Lea are dancing to Not my favorite number from that show but I think it will be a number that the audience will enjoy.

It is going to be interesting to see if the show trys to derail the Alfonso/Whitney train at all in these next few weeks. He has picked up serious speed thanks to this week. If this keeps up I don't see Derek getting that mirrorball trophy. If they were smart they would enjoy the publicity from Alfonsos dance and just let things be. But we all know that's not going to happen ;^)

I believe he's 30. To me that's still young especially when I compare him to Tony and Maks. Also if 30 is old I'm going to be sad because I just turned 30 this year.

I thought so. Thanks for the confirmation MIssysays.

Lea was in Caberet on Broadway for awhile so I wonder if they will do a number from that. So am I correct in assuming that whatever celeb goes home their original partner goes with them? I have never watched during a switch week. ETA: The elimination I'm talking about is the one that takes place the next week after the switch week. Not this upcoming weeks elimination.

Antonio+Allison= Disaster. I was hoping Lea would be with Tony but I'm totally fine that she is partnered with Val(he was my second choice). I'm looking forward to Cheryl and Alfonso. I'm not sure about the Jonathan/Peta Pairing. She seems too harsh for him almost. Janel and Artem will do well together. I hate that Whitney is being saddled with Michael I would have liked to see her with Jonathan. I'm not thrilled about there being no actual balroom dances(unless flamenco is but I didn't think it was.)

*Slow Claps* This is brilliant!

mtlchick you read my mind. That would be amazing and hillarious!

I wouldn't be surprised if her bringing up the controversy was the producers idea. I also think bringing the uncles on stage may have been Mark or the producers idea. I don't trust this show when it comes to showing truthful stories or rehersal packages. They like to create drama, scandal, talk etc. Even if she did I don't think it's a big dea. If they had danced I would have had a bit of a problem.

Artem is such a gem and I'm so glad that hes on the show. I just love his style(teaching and choreo). He has done a wonderful job with Lea and I really love watching him dance. He's got great technique but he also puts such emotion into his dancing. It's also nice to see a young male pro that isn't about himself and isn't overly dramatic about things. I really hope that the show asks him back next season and gives him a good partner.

I thought she did a wonderful job last night. The dance was fun and she kept right up with Mark which sometimes is a task in itself. I personally am not a fan of her family(I don't agree with their beliefs at all) but she is their child and that is her family so of course she is going to love them and stick by them. My grandparents aren't exactly saints when it comes to race issues and I don't agree with them but it doesn't mean I love them any less. If she was the one making the comments or if she was acting nastily towards Jonathan(who supposidly is gay) or Bruno then I would take issue with her.

Leas dance last night was just beautiful. Deserving of a perfect score(damn you America). Contemporary sometimes can be boring or lifeless but she brought so much emotion and beauty to the dance. I also have to give her snaps for not falling apart during the dance. It would be so easy to let emotion get the best of her and she didnt. Artem is a gem and I love that she and him are partners. I was so scared she was going to be out last night I was pacing while they were making the safe/not safe announcements. Can't wait to see what she's doing next week. I'm sad that she will probably end up with Derek because I cannot stand him at this point. Also I just love watching her on the show. She has such enthusiasm not only when it comes to her dances but everyone else. She's always hugging someone or clapping happily for someone. It's a treat to watch her on the show.

That dance last night was one of the top 5 dances on this show. It had everything and more. Whitney and him are perfect together. She's youthful but she does a great job with content. He's a solid dancer and he doesn't mind working his butt off. I'm hoping in the switch up he gets Cheryl because I think they would do well together. Also that was a what a perfect jazz number looks like. He should have had the first 40 of the seaon not Bethany or Janel.

I thought it was so sweet how Artem was getting emotional after the dance. The partnership those two have is so wonderful. I'm going to miss Tony and Bethany so much. They were just so wonderful to watch and I love when a pro helps bring out the best in a celebrity partner. Antonio is never going to get better because he doesn't have rhythm and he also just isn't in his comfort zone here. Dancing has nothing to do with if you are sexy or not it's all about how you feel when you move your body or express yourself. Once again Tommys comments had me in stitches especially when he was talking with Erin. I have to say this group seems to really get along with each other and are having a good time together.

Alfonso, Sadie and Lea were the best tonight. Lea should have gotten a 40 for her dance. Alfonsos dance was pitch perfect and proves shows exactly why Janel and Bethany didn't deserve their 40's last week. I'm going to miss Tony and Betsey. Michael Waltrip is just hard to watch and enjoy so I want him gone yesterday. Julianne crying after Bethany and Dereks dance was a little much. What was scary was that Bruno was the sane judge tonight. Carrie Ann and Julianne are so hard to watch and they look ridiculous.
