Participanton this show was when Gilles Marini lost. I thought he was definitely the best dancer and the most entertaining…BUT…he wasn’t very well known and didn’t have much of a fan base. I’ll bet my bippie that if he danced again now, he’d win hands down.
Quite frankly, now that Brandy and Maks are gone, I really don’t care who wins. I think I’ve been quite vocal about not liking Jennifer, and, as much as I’ve been rooting for Bristol, I don’t believe neither she nor Kyle represent what the show’s winner should be.

Participantand did a pretty good job of it. However, it’s pretty easy now days with all the sound technology available to make practically anybody sound good. All they really have to do is be able to hit the notes. They can even manipulate them staying on key if need be.

ParticipantIsn’t it kind of strange how they just kind of glossed over the fire. Geeze, I would think since practically all their food and all the other stuff they had was gone, that’d be pretty crucial. (You have to admit, that was a pretty stupid thing to do, put wooden crates around the fire. DUH!!! Apparently there isn’t one brain cell among all 12 of them.) Now, will the producers provide them with more food or will they let them starve. I’m willing to bet they will pull a Days moment and just forget it ever happened.
And damn, if Jane didn’t win that immunity idol. But it makes sense, she weighed way less than the guys and, as she said, from lifting 80 lb. dogs so she has a good set of biceps. I think those guys missed the boat on that one though. If they had put one hand around behind their back to hold the rope, it would have given them much more leverage and less strain on their arms. Hey, anyone want to hire me as a consultant?

Participantyou are definitely our resident contrarian. I know, I know, somebody’s gotta do it.

ParticipantThe judges scores count for half and the votes from the public count for the other half. I know it will never happen because it’d take the suspense out of the elimination each week but it would shut a lot of people up to know just how many votes each couple get. Well, maybe.
But I think it is sad that you will not watch the finale because some particular group of people had enough votes to pull someone through. Look how many football players with two left feet have been on and stayed way past their capabilities dictated, just because of their popularity with football fans. The show has never been about most improved, or best dancer. It has always been a popularity contest. That’s just the way it is.

ParticipantAnd what I can’t figure out is how people are blaming Bristol for taking out Brandy but nothing is said about Kyle. Certainly Brandy is a much better dancer than Kyle but yet Bristol is the one who is being blamed. Oh, could it be because Kyle’s mother is not a controversial political figure? I’ll tell you what…if Sarah Palin is responsible for Bristol getting all these votes, she should definitely be elected president. Just think of all the other things she could accomplish with that incredible power she has.
You’re right about the game being played the way it was formulated, yet people are claiming the Tea Party is "stuffing the ballot box"? How do they know that? Pure speculation and hyperbole…sour grapes. This isn’t the first time (nor the second, third, or fourth) a less talented dancer has continued on because their fan base was larger. Let’s talk about Chloris Leachman, Jerry Springer, Buzz Aldrin, and a whole lot more. And as I have said all along, how do we know it isn’t the residents of Alaska that are keeping her going. Entirely possible.
So, all you cry babies out there, it’s time to leave the politics out of it, shut up, and enjoy the show for what it was intended to be, entertainment. And if you can’t watch it as it is, turn it off and kwitcherbelliakin!!!

ParticipantHow come the bad guys are always your favorites?

ParticipantBut I did say I wouldn’t be surprised if she won the whole thing. The only thing that disappointed me was that Brandy and Maks were voted off over Kyle. I think maybe Maks may have been a detriment because a lot of people don’t like him because of his arrogance, although I really appreciated his remarks about bring his family to America. More natural-born Americans should have that attitude. I felt so bad for Brandy because, IMHO, she should have won the whole enchalada. You could tell, they were truly shocked. And, did you notice that they didn’t show Mark and Bristol’s reactions. I just hope that Maks’ personality doesn’t keep him from returning next season because of this.
I will not fault the show for this though. It’s nothing new because practically every season someone who should have stayed was voted off because someone else had a bigger fan base. There’s no disputing that now. As long as the public has a say in it, things like this will happen. In fact, it’s rather obvious to me that Kyle has a bigger fan base than Brandy, otherwise he would have been voted off.
And I just DO NOT want Jennifer and Derrick to win. I don’t like her, she always has such a smug look on her face and boo-hooing about her "injuries," and he’s won twice already now, he always seems to get the more talented dancers as partners. And that’s something that’s not fair that COULD be different.
Oh, well, that’s show business.

ParticipantThere is no way in hell that Vivian can put one that big over Victor. He’s nobody’s fool. They’d better come up with something very plausible for me to swallow this one.

Participantfor Allie screaming is that she saw a man (didn’t realize from the back it was EJ) standing over her mom and was scared.
And again, DROOL has made a boo-boo. Chloroform only keeps you knocked out as long as you are breathing it in, just like ether. Sami should have "come to" in a minute or so.
Yeah, Allie does look a little older but when you see them together they are pretty much the same size, but then, one of my twin g.daughters is two inches taller than the other…obviously not identical…so I can buy that. I was amazed at how many lines Johnny delivered and delivered well. Pretty darn good for a kid that age.

Participantif Bristol wins. She’s got a whole state (and the largest, at that) behind her. I believe the Alaskans are supporting her whether or not they agree with her mom’s politics. She has really put Alaska in the limelight and I think they are plugging for her all the way.
I have been waffling back and forth between Brandy and Jennifer but last night I think Jennifer put it in the bag. When you get six perfect scores in a row, that’s pretty hard to beat. (I don’t think Carrie Ann likes either Brandy or Maks so they are pretty much doomed.) Although, I think Brandy’s fan base has been increasing due to her background they have been showing us. There’s probably a lot of sympathy votes there.
But, if this show is based on talent, tonight either Kyle or Bristol has to go. I still maintain Kayle doesn’t have any more talent than Bristol but he’s got the overwhelming enthusiasm and charisma that’s keeping him going.

ParticipantScene: Maggie’s kitchen:
Maggie to Melanie: Good morning Melanie, can I get you a cup of Folger’s rich and aromatic coffee? It has more flavor than any other coffee on the market and is good to your pocket book too.
Melanie: Sure, Maggie. Could you also pass me the Creamora so I can add more flavor and calories to my coffee. And remember, Creamora doesn’t have to be refrigerated and can be found on the shelf of your favorit super market.
Philip’s voice from other room: Hey, Mel! Where is my Atra razor? I can’t find it and you know I can’t shave with anything else. It gives me a smooth and comfortable shave and when I add the Old Spice Aftershave, I smell good too.
Melanie: Oh, for heaven’s sakes Philip, get in her and eat your Eggo waffles before they get cold. They are all hot and tasty, right out of the toaster and I’ve poured copious quantities of Aunt Jemima’s syrup all over them to give you that old fashioned maple flavor you remember so fondly from childhood.
Enter Daniel: Oh, boy, you guys, I just picked up my new Chevy Volt and, let me tell you, it zoom-zooms just like a real car. And you zip right past the gas stations. It makes me feel good about saving the environment and cheating those Arab bastards out of their oil money.
Maggie: Good for you Daniel. Now, would you mind taking out the garbage? I have put it all in a stong and sanitary Hefty bag and sealed it all up so it will still be just as it is now 100 years from now in some land fill. Yes, Hefty, Hefty, Hefty, that’s the only garbage bag for me.
Melanie: Say, didn’t we all come her to discuss something today? I think it was something about Chloe.
All others in unison: Hmmmm, I don’t remember but pass the Dunkin’ Donuts please.

ParticipantI can accept a product placement (as on Raymond) but that’s not what Days is doing. Their’s is a full-blown, all out, commercial.
I noticed last week on Chase they did something similar. They showed her Cadillac Escalade parked at the curb, a head-on shot of the emblem, then showed the bad guy jumping in and driving off. When the other cops showed up she yelled, "He took my Escalade, go get it." Any other show would have said "car" but I guess Cadillac paid a couple of bucks for that.
It’s what’s coming, I tell ya, it’s what’s coming.

ParticipantI can’t remember the name but I’ve seen it served in restaurants. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in stores but it’s not an unusual or limited brand.

ParticipantI can’t for the life of me envision Kate jogging. OMG! Then to put her in that outfit was just more than I could take. And the gloves were the final touch…can’t decide if they were golfing or baseball gloves. Just too, too funny. Wardrobe must have been on a really big bender the night before they decided on THAT one! Oh, dear, my sides are aching!!!
