i thought the 1st woman { who danced w/Derek } was pretty darn good; and towards the end, ~ that 16-yr old was no slouch, either. interesting to see the new pros, too : )

Dorothy Hamil left voluntarily due to medical woes { after she was already voted as "safe" }, ~ so both of the two couples remaining in jeopardy will stay on for next week,,

Yup. I like Zendaya (the 16 year old) and I also think the Kellie Pickler is an excellent dancer (although her heavy country accent drives me absolutely nuts - if I had to listen to that for more than a day I think I'd kill her). The football player (Jocoby Jones) is also very good.

Andy Dick won't make it too far, but I give him serious kudos for the "Mad Hatter" performance. That was awesome.

As far as I'm concerned both Lisa Vanderpump and the boxer can go. They're stiff as boards. I don't think Wynonna Judd will make it very far either except that maybe she has a big following.

thank goodnesss Wynonna Judd was voted off last eve!, though i am surprised she didn't last longer due to fan votes,,

Yeah, it was time. She's stiff as a board and wasn't likely to get any better. My wife didn't feel she was actually even trying very hard.

VERY nice come-back for the boxer. I was getting ready to write him off as well, but he really did a nice job on that modern dance number.

it was like watching a tree stump,, i would think for a singer she would have had more musicality,,

yep, the boxer stepped up this week : ). that's the thing,, one has to give them the time to improve : ).

Kellie/Derek and Zendaya/Val are my top 2 so far : )

Yeah, that should be an interesting show. Glad to see they're making things interesting by adjusting the format. I found last week's challenge of dancing with another pro dancer rather interesting.

yes,, last week i think they showed a lot more improvement, paired w/other pros. it gave them a challenge : )

Yeah, pretty cool. No surprises on who went home. The bachelor is a nice guy but everyone else is a much better dancer.

yes,, i think i did hear him/Sean say he was a bit relieved to be voted off, too.

and i couldn't believe how Len lost his cool with Kellie, Derek, and Tristan's trio routine; totally didn't see that coming!
