This may have been posted already (I didn't see it) so please forgive me if it's a repeat! I thought the judges were a little unfair to Hines and Kim last night and gave them lower marks than they should have. I really thought they had the whole package! They were classy, energetic, charismatic, etc.!!!

As far as Chelsea and Mark (I believe that's his name), I love her and think she is a doll, and a very good dancer, and there is no denying that he is a great dancer ---- HOWEVER -- yes, here it comes --- I feel the judges gave them marks that were too high. I think sometimes Len gets a little carried away with tradition and all that, but last night I had to totally agree with him! I believe you have to adhere to what the dance is all about and just because someone is young is no excuse to throw out all the dancing standards. But what I really agreed with him was his comments, something to the affect, that he did not care for Mark's jumping all about and crawling around the floor. I had just said to DH - I feel it's Mark's job to showcase Chelsea and make her standout-- instead, it's like he's trying to put all the focus on himself --- like -- look at me - look at me --- look how great a dancer I am and what I can do.!!! I think he needs to spotlight her moves and make himself less visible. Yes, he can still have some moves and costumes that are younger for her, but he goes overboard, I believe. He tried too hard to be totally out there and he tries too hard to get attention for himself.

Well, thanks for letting me get on my soap box!!!

Oh, by the way --- poor Kirstie!!! Is she having some bad luck or what??? Losing her shoe this week and having Max kinda drop her last week? I feel so bad for her. She's a very good dancer. Let's send her some good vibes and karma!!! Go Kirstie --- we luv ya!
