Also...who else is super excited to see Apolianne and Mel/Maks this week??? :bounce:

Max is my favourite - I miss him this season ......... that butt of his is awesome! (plus he's a fantastic dancer, of course. Ha)

Len sux! He have Marissa a 9, but Krisiti an 8???

LOL..the NFL music and Dolphin colors in their costumes.

Len is being a hater tonight Jane.

Kristi and Mark's Cha Cha. Loved it!

Kristy & Mark's total score was 1 point less than Jason & Edyta

That's complete Kristy & Mark were underscored, I mean a 26?
I guess next week is when some of our favorite past dancers will be performing.Shannon was pretty good during the Tango but looked pretty awkward during the Mambo. I feel bad for Cristian & Cheryl. I'm not really onto Mario & Karina so I hope they leave. Marissa is improving each week and you can see her gaining confidence. Jason's pretty good but his score of 29 was overrated for his quickstep IMO.

As reported by tmz.com

Spies at "Dancing with the Stars" tell TMZ Cristian de la Fuente suffered a really gnarly injury and will likely pull out of the competition.

The spies say surgery is now a real option. He's set to see a specialist this morning. We're told the producers and dancers will meet at the CBS lot -- where the show is taped -- at 10:00 AM for a status update.

Mario and Karina broke up.

Quote:

Mario Lopez and Dancing with the Stars pro dancer Karina Smirnoff have recently split, a source confirms to PEOPLE. The couple, who met during Dancing’s third season, never publicly acknowledged their relationship despite the fact that the pair were living together in Lopez’s Los Angeles home. A source tells PEOPLE Smirnoff is moving out of Lopez’s digs. Lopez’s personal rep, Lisa Perkins, says, “It’s my policy to not comment on my client’s personal life.” Smirnoff, who is now competing on Dancing’s sixth season with R&B star Mario, has been spotted recently with E! Entertainment personality Michael Yo. The two were seen dancing and canoodling at a recent event at Hollywood eatery Beso. Lopez, meanwhile, is starring in A Chorus Line on Broadway, and recently returned to the ballroom with 18 Chorus Line dancers to tape a synchronized number to air on Dancing’s 100th episode on May 6. He’s also about to embark on a national tour to promote his upcoming book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness.

Boo-hoo! I am so sad that Shannon is gone. She was my favorite! Now I have no one to cheer for.

Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff denies she has split from Mario Lopez.

“We’re going on strong,” she told PEOPLE on Tuesday. “As much as I love and appreciate the attention, this isn’t true.”

She adds: “For the record, I am not moving out. Everything is great.”

In her production trailer was a bouquet of roses. “These roses are from (Lopez) and they certainly are not a farewell gift,” she says.

The pair, who met during Dancing’s third season, never publicly acknowledged their relationship — until now — despite the fact that they were living together in Lopez’s Los Angeles home.

A source had said Smirnoff was moving out of Lopez’s digs. Smirnoff also was spotted recently with E! Entertainment personality Michael Yo. The two were seen dancing at a recent event at Hollywood eatery Beso.

“Michael and I have known each for a long time, and there’s nothing romantic whatsoever,” Smirnoff says. “He’s a great guy and I really respect him, but we’re just friends.” — Reagan Alexander

I agree...the rant hurt.

I don't want to wish Cristian anything bad so I won't hope for that to happen. I wonder how his arm will hold up. Sounds like it was a nasty injury.

Dance Center segments with Kenny Mayne, Jerry Rice, and Len. Funny stuff

Doesn't Kristi's dress look like the same one Janelle wore to last year's wrap party?

I watched last night just to see Apolo, oh how I miss seeing him every week!

The dress looks similar but I thought Janelles had more pastel colors, I have been wrong before! I loved Apollo, he is too cute...

This is from an earlier post. I think Shannon and Derek, were out of line with the comments,and that led to the demise..

Just catching up on last week's shows.

Apolo & Julianne - wow. Miss them!

I thought that Kristy & Mark's two dances were fabulous. From what I understand, the tango is very technical and I thought their positions were lovely - and that jive! Such intricate choreography. (at least to my untrained eye)
To me, Marissa and Tony's dances looked nice but had quite simple choreography.
Any predictions on who might be voted out?

CJ, I HAVE NOOOOOOOOOO IDEA!

I say probably marrisa and tony

I believe Cristian and Kristy may be the top two. Marissa should be the one leaving tonight, but it might be Jason. I didn't like Jason's second dance at all, it was so stilted and over scored.

It is getting to the end, who do you all think is going to win? I thought Kristi until Christian got his injury and seems to have the sympathy vote. Hubby said that he thinks that Jason got cut from the Dolphins. If so, I hope he gets on a new WINNING team! What a nice guy.

In my opinion, Christian has really stepped up his performances since his injury. I think he and Cheryl should win. I did not care for them at all until recently. Jason was my favorite, but he does seem a bit stilted. But, he sure is fun to look at, stilted or not!!

After watching tonight's show I will say if Kristi doesn't win, it will be a travesty!

They are really playing up the "Girl Power" angle. I hope it doesn't backfire, because Kristi truly deserves to win. She is by far the best dancer of the three remaining.

I definitely think Kristy is the best dancer and has been from the beginning. The only problem I have with that is she also came into the competition with a hugh advantage over everyone else. She is sort of a 'Ringer'.

I just finished watching last nights show online.......I do think Kristy blew them both away however I really liked Cristian and Cheryl's freestyle and what he did with just 1 arm amazes me. Jason looked good in his freestyle but not in the cha cha cha. JMO! So we'll see, I think any of them winning to me is fine.

I usually always pull for the underdog too, but in this case even with her advantage, I want Kristy to win. I lurve her and I'm a huge figure skating fan, so go Kristy!! Sorry I can't help myself, and if Cristian wins I'll be very happy for him as well. I like Jason but just not as much as Cristian.
