10/1 DWTS Performance Show Discussion **West Coast Spoilers**

I'm sure they figure they have until election day to do whatever they want and skate by. We'll see how everyone else does. The song was energetic, but that was it. However, Melissa's jive wasn't all that, either. So we'll see. I can't believe anyone being worse than Bristol.

May I just say that I've always really liked the quickstep and jive, and I've always hated that in recent seasons they've put them on the same night and early in the competition, when most people would do so much better with them later in the season. I don't want to watch crappy, hesitant jives and quicksteps, so save them until the dancers have some performing/dancing under their belts. I know this season that's not the case--they've all done the show before--but most of the time it is.

Or maybe I'm just being extra crabby tonight, because it was a long day, and my PT really worked my shoulder over this afternoon.

All the judges said she broke form in the middle. I don't know dance well enough to know what they're talking about, I just know that she looked lethargic. Mark looked good though :)

Agreed with the bolded part -- she looked like she was walking through the routine instead of dancing it 100%.

Scores: 6/6/6

The boos barely make a blip.

666 - that's the number of the Palin. Or so I've always believed.

Helio/Chelsie up next!

While it is kind of funny to see a 6-6-6 for a score (I always think that), compared to what was getting sixes last week, that was way too high. I would have given it about a four. It was barely a quickstep, and when it tried to be a quickstep, Bristol messed up.

Well, that was just as terrible as I expected it to be. Bristol can't dance. 6-6-6 score. About right I suppose.

Helio and Chelsea up next! He'll make Bristol's dance look especially bad.

Hey, y'all!

:hiya

MISSED BRISTOL & SPATZ!

And I'm NOT crying about that, either!

LET'S GO CHELSIE AND HELIO!!!!!!!!

Helio takes Chelsie to the rack track...and she takes off screaming.
