4/26 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

[ZulaMay]

Based on these performances, I think Niecy, Jake, and Erin could be in trouble. Erin gave a wonderful dance, Maks went shirtless, and they got decent scores, but not sure if they'll get the votes coming in. Especially for people thinking that Jake and Evan got lowballed. Pam might also be down there, but I feel like her fans get her back in the game.

Who would think Jake got lowballed?

I thought Evan and Anna should have stayed in until the last three on the swing too! What are the judges trying to do. I know they are not seeing what I am seeing. I honestly do not have a favorite this season. I have watched every week but tonight is the first time I have voted and I only voted because I really felt like the judging was so unfair tonight. I would have put Kate out first week. Buzz second week. Niecy third week. Shannen fourth week. Aiden fifth week. Jake sixth week. Chad seventh week. Pamela eighth week. Nicole ninth week. Erin runner up and Evan the winner. This is my honest opinion based on their dancing all season and the way they have acted in practices and on their interviews. I may not vote again - unless the judges try to screw a contestant again!

The judging has been off the wall more this season than normal, though last season was pretty bad, too. I hope Len's anger at Maks was more because he wants Erin to succeed and not for any other stupid petty reason. But really, it was just completely bogus tonight. I hate to think what would have happened had Kate still been here. And what was it that some couples were called out/docked for not doing moves relevant to the dance, but others weren't? I'm glad Len at least seemed to be on that tonight, even if I disagreed with nearly all his scores. Evan, Erin, and anyone that's not Nicole would be my ideal final 3. Are these marks meant to help her, because she may not be doing well with the fan vote? Or to get viewers voting for couples they want to see last by giving them low votes? It's why I'm worried about Erin, high scores and all. Chad's going to have the fanbase to keep him in. Evan and Nicole probably aren't going anywhere. So it's going to come down to what the other 4 have in terms of fan base and appeal.

I cannot believe how low Evan/Anna were scored. I actually thought his samba was great. I'm still kind of shocked. He was much better than Nicole (sidebar: I am so sick of her fake open-mouth look of surprise at positive comments from the judges).

Who would think Jake got lowballed?

I don't, but since he's dead last, his fans might. If anything I think his samba got higher than it deserved, though I do think he got screwed during the swing. I wonder if the judges are watching who they want to and aren't paying attention to the other couples they intend to score high. Nicole/Derek seemed to hit turbo speed at the end when it came down to just them and Erin/Maks (and I'd have to go back and watching, it looked like they bumped into each other right before the moment of truth). I still can't believe those 2 act surprised at getting high scores. I like Nicole better when she's all upset at being in second.

And I'm trying to figure out if Evan skated over the judges feet or something. He had a concussion this week, he's danced with 2 broken toes, he's come out and given it his all, and yet he gets dinged and scored worse than some couples who couldn't even walk right on the floor?

In an ideal world, I would like to see Nicole go, but would be ok with Pam or Chad leaving.

I enjoy watching Niecy and Jake even though they are not the best. I think they are trying and improving. My favorites at this point are Erin and Evan.

Me too. That is only one of the things that irritates me about her.

[VAgirl79]

I just finished watching the show (had to tape it), and I'm horrified! On what planet should Evan have come in fifth in the group swing? And the scores for his samba? What the heck is the matter with the judges? It's like they saw an opportunity to get rid of Nicole's main competition and ran with it. And I still can't figure out why the clueless wonders (Carrie Ann and Bruno) love that woman so much in the first place.

So disgusted watching tonight's show. Evan better not get the boot because of their biased nonsense.

[ChelsieFan]

I thought the 21 was fair for Jake' samba but I do think he was out too early in swing comp. Evan is the one who got the most screwed tonight in his samba. I don't think he was feeling too good but I am sure he will be safe and sail through to the F3 as he should. I hope he wins.

[Beachmom]

I'm already getting sick at thinking of the gushing the pro and the pro will get just by shaking her booty. It's obvious tonight Evan isn't in the same ringer-league, as the judges pointed out he needs work.

That's ludricious, no way he's on the same level as Jake. Could they make it more obvious who they're gunning for/wanting to save? Or who they don't want to take the girl who cried over being in second out of first? At least Evan is gracious in the face of criticism.

It must be so hard for Evan and Anna to hold their tongues. When they finished that dance, I honestly thought they might get one or more 10's. What on earth DO the judges have against him? It's got to be Evan; how could they want to penalize Anna?? :nono

The one I love to watch the most is Evan. Niecy is getting on my nerves. Mostly because I know she does not like being at her weight. She lost her weight a couple of years ago and was so thrilled she even talked about it on Clean House which I stopped watching because it is just gross and also I think it is fake. I think she is feeling like she can head off any criticism or judgment if she acts like this is how she really wants to look, which is fine btw. But I get the feeling that it is not fine with her, because she talks about it all the time which means she is self conscious and wants people to think she is fine with herself when she isn't..
