I don't see Kristi winning DWTS. She's the best dancer out of all of 'em, but she'll probably finish 3rd. The Cristian guy is more charismatic, has the mexicans' votes. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins based on popularity. As for Jason Taylor, well he's tall and has good posture? I guess good posture takes you very far.

I'll be content with a final 3 of Kristi, Jason, and Cristian. I will be voting for Kristi since she's the best dancer with the most difficult routines, but I would not complain about a win by any of those three.

Marissa, on the other hand, again begging for votes and stating she deserves to be there. Is she really that delusional? If so, she's got bigger issues to deal with than wanting to win a dance contest.

Cristian did great, but Kristi is a natural in almost all her dances. I hope she wins. Jason is good, and good to look at (as is Cristian).

Marissa shouldn't even be there anymore.

Wow Mario got hosed last week for this Carp. The Finale should be called dances with the Ice Queen, The one Armed Romeo,Eydtha and her spotter, and the Mouth that Roared. I can only hope that Marisaa becomes this Seasons Taylor hicks and wins it all and hi steps it back to Broadway with that extremely fugly trophy.

Wow... the board jammed up earlier and I couldn't get back in.

It is really unbelieveable to me that they can score anyone higher than Kristi. Both my husband and I who have been involved with dance most of our lives are perplexed by how the judges can give Kristi a 9 and Cristian a 10. The level of difficulty and perfection that Kristi brings to each of her dances is amazing. I would agree that her emotionality or showmanship is not as strong as some, but I think she is a very private person, not a shameless promoter (marissa).or a Mr. machismo (cristian) or good sportmanship (jason) type of person. I really like Jason and Cristian, but it is their personality that keeps them close to Kristi, not their technique.

I'm beginning to think the scores are "massaged" to keep certain dancers in. Considering how much the subject of lifts has come up, for the judges to look the other way on Jason's and Edyta's lifts, well,that's just basically unfair. I'm glad they did, because I'd like to see them stick around, but if that had been Kristi? They'd have jumped all over her.

I really think there needs to be some standards for how they judge. In the real world they have a score sheet and it is broken into components such as difficulty, technique, choreography, expression, etc... In order to get a 10, you have to have full marks in all categories.

Next week we will see all 29 and 30's as they keep everyone close together so that fans make the final decision.

Really hope that Kristi, Jason and Cristian make it to the finals.

Well, I'm a straight woman who also appreciates female beauty, and I can't help but agree with you. Edyta is gorgeous. (Going to the gym now, thanks.)

I don't see anybody there who isn't happy, Marissa is just over the top. I realize that's her personality, however, it does becoming "jarring" week after week. She's someone that would probably make me mentally tired after a very brief visit. Also, her dancing ability just isn't at the same level as everyone elses. Even Christian is showing more ability with the lack of the arm. She really tries and she seems to have a really good time, but I want to see more than just someone seeming to have a good time.

I totally agee with this, however, when you compare the content of Kristi's dances with anyone elses and her abilitiy to execute the techniques, the judges leave themselves no room with the way they scored Marissa. They inflate all the scores and they have to give her credit for the fact that she is tackling much more difficulty in her dances. Even when I think the choreography could be more exciting the difficulty is still there.

Marissa even admitted it by saying something like "oh you caught that". . .
I wonder who will go next. Marissa is so clearly not in everyone else's league. I don't dislike her in the least, she just doesn't deserve to stay.

Prepare to be shocked, then. Marissa's fans are going to vote her into the finals, and someone more qualified is going home.

Hope everyone that doesn't want that to happen is voting! You've got till noon Eastern time (I think) to get your votes in.
