See you tomorrow for the Results Show and 100th Show Celebration

9:35 PM

the wrap-up.  (Psst!  Samantha!  One of your dress straps has fallen down.)  Cristian and Cheryl are at the top of the leader board with 57 out of 60 points, while Marissa and Tony are in last place with 50 points.  Vote vote vote!

Tomorrow we have the big 100th Show Gala as well as this week's elimination.  Mario Lopez and the cast of A Chorus Line are dancing tomorrow as well as a musical performance by Rascal Flatts.  It's a combination of high entertainment and tearful reality television.   Just my cup of tea!  We'll see you tomorrow.

I am a big fan of the show.I love Jason. Not only has he become a great dancer he is so easy on the eyes I could watch him all night. I give much credit to all the dancers. They are all great. After watching the show I find myself dancing around the house. Its so much fun. Thank You...

I can't believe that Mario was given higher scores than Marissa. He almost dropped his partner and the judges gave him great scores. Rigged

Wonderful tonight for all contestants! However I have to give KUDOS to Cristian de la Fuente for continuing and doing such a superb job and KUDOS to Cheryl Burke for her fabulous work and dancing abilities as well! Great job everyone! I enjoyed tonight's show alot and was glad that everyone is such great supporters of each other in the contest. I definitely will tune in for tomorrow's 100th show and the results!

[Ronnie]

Samantha Harris couldn't be more awkward and I can't wait to see Mario Lopez tomorrow (it's to bad sarcasm can't be conveyed in print)

[Robin]

I have tried to vote online for the past 4 weeks to no avail. It was very easy last year. Is it possible to vote online?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EDYTA!!

Great dancing tonight.

[Vic Carmona]

Kari Ann, you have been so hard on Kristi. Do you feel that you have to be sooo hard on her just becuase you both are Japanese. I love you but boi you are waaaaay too hard on her. I'm not asking you to give her a break but be fair.

[Kacey]

I really hope that the competition does not come down to Jason vs. Kristi. Kristi's technical skills are far beyond Jason's. I would love to see a competition between Kristi and Mario AND a competition between Christian and Marissa. It would be a competition for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

[D-man]

Carrie isn't Japanese!

[jozielee]

Somebody's got to go home tomorrow night, but I sure hope it's not Marissa and Tony. They're such fun to watch on the dance floor.

[G.L.(Jill)]

Christian was flawless tonight. I can't understand why he did not get 30/30.
ENHORABUENA CHRISTIAN AND FOR CHERYL: MY SCORES FOR YOU IS 10+++++
FOR THE INTERESTING AND VERY WELL DONE CHOREOGRAPHY (ONE HANDED)
INCREIBLE! INCREDIBLE!
THIS ARE MY SUPERLATIVES AND ARE WELL DESERVED!!!!
P.S. I can't believe those 2 male judges. Bruno is out of line disrespecting Len interrupting him with no decorum.
The two male judges seem to be "ba/ba/ba" judging high to the female contestantants mentioning "sex" "sexual" and the like as if they were in "lap dances contests.
MaryAnn you seem to be more in tune, but at times you also go along with the male judges.
THE MUSIC!!!!
DOESN'T FIT THE DANCES?
Castanets with tango?
Why do dancers and musicians think that "PASO DOBLE" AND "TANGO" are the same?????
Why the believe that tango and paso doble are "angry" dances??? or even worse that represent DOMESTIC VIOLENCE???
Even the youth dancers are already imitating the adults.
Tango was developed in Argentina and the style is genuine that comes from the people in a natural manner.
Tango (with 100 rules) taught in an authomatic fashion in the USA, is something else but Tango. Why don't they invent another name for it also:
"DOMESTIC VIOLENCE" FOR EXAMPLE, OR women treated as slaves, or ????????
Dances are to dance on the floor, not on the air.
Also Chisti, She has to go together with Mario. they are somewhere else but the dance floor.
Mario is cute,and can learn rutines but there is no soul in his persormance.
Chisti's movements are the same ones she does "ON ICE".
Of course she can do those spins, she has been doing for years and she is a champion on ice.
dance on wood flor is to place both feet in contact with the floor, not on air, Leave your spinning for the ICE.
THE JUDGES NEED "SUPER NANNY" to learn proper behavior. and of course the producers also need Super Nanny for guidance on this type of shows.
The nudity of some of the females belong in the "pole dances" for male audiences only.
Edyta and Karina are "pole dance" chanpions.

This is my first time trying to vote on-line and I am unable. I tried to vote vis telephone but because I live in the Pacific North West (Washington State) I was unable - told to vote on-line. What should I do next week?

[Melanie]

Can't WAIT to see Maks & Mel dance again! THEY really should've won last year! They were always AWESOME and Mel was closer to technically perfect than any other star who has danced so far, except for maybe Sabrina (who already had some ballroom training before she went on DWTS)!

I love Marissa, but I'm certain Christian will get the pity votes and Marissa will be the one who goes tonight. She's a MUCH better dancer than he is, but some people refuse to give her credit just because she's not a size 2. (That's discrimination for you. REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES and they CAN DANCE!!) Well, Shannon had "the perfect body" and danced like she was stuck to a pole - stiff and forced! I don't really think Marissa should win - I think that should be between Kristi and Mario - but I think Marissa deserves to be in the final four and she is definately the most improved dancer of the season. After seeing how much she has improved over the past couple of weeks, she definitely doesn't deserve to go home yet!

Christian flawless??? HARDLY! Sure - he did an amazing job for somebody with an injured arm, but he didn't deserve a 10 for either of his performances. In fact, he should've gone home long ago. Marlee is DEAF and she danced MUCH better than Christian - he should've gone before her. The final decision SHOULD come down to between Kristi & Mario - but we all know Jason will win because HE's the pro sports guy. (Check out who has won for the last three seasons, if you don't believe me.) Yes, the purpose of this show is to take people out of their element and make them into dancers, but let's face it - Jason is STIFF, I have seen him literally trip over his own feet or lose musicality if Edyta gives him too much choreography, yet he still gets 10's - go figure. MARISSA is a better dancer than Jason! Anybody that thinks just because somebody has ice-skated or done hip-hop moves or danced on Broadway they will be able to ball room dance doesn't know ANYTHING about dancing! It is not the same, and Kristi, Mario, & Marissa are just as much out of their element as Jason and Christian when it comes to ballroom dance. At least most of the time the judges give HONEST, FAIR constructive criticism that helps the stars work out their flaws. I'm sure they would prefer the truth so they know what to work on in order to improve, than some lie that allows them to keep making fools of themselves! Carrie Ann, Len, and Bruno aren't the stars agents - they aren't paid to coddle the stars! They are PROFESSIONAL BALLROOM DANCERS and JUDGES and they KNOW what they are talking about because dancing is what they DO! Love the show, but hope it's better next year. The music & choreography has not been great this season, and the on-line voting has been HORRID all season! Hope those kinks get worked out of the system before next season!

[Melanie]

I think ABC should change the way things are done once the show gets to the final four. Only the judges' scores should count from there on, and when it comes to choosing the winner, it should be the couple with the highest average of the cumulative judges scores for the season. The people's vote should only help determine who gets to the final four, because most people who vote don't actually know much about dance - they vote based on emotion, so why should their votes get to determine the winner? I love to watch Marissa dance - she's really improved every week and her attitude / enthusiasm is amazing! I don't think she deserves to leave tonight (but I'm certain she will, since so many people are prejudice against her weight instead of giving her credit for how well she dances), but I admit she doesn't deserve to win (yet) either. Of course, the judges have repeatedly inflated Jason's scores, holding Kristi to a higher standard. ALL dancers should be held to the SAME standards, regardless.

[Angela]

This ----- I can't sign on to vote this morning!!!!!!
Something must be wrong with their system. I want to vote for Marissa 5 times but can't.

[Joni]

Does anyone know what the symbol of the tattoo is on Christian's left arm?

[Kim]

The judges are way to hard on Kristi holding her to a higher standard. Carrie Ann clearly likes the boys better. Maybe she should stop drooling over the boys. And watch their technique more Kristi was wonderful last night all tens in my book.

[Darlene]

I don't understand Carrie Ann. In week 5, she gave Kristi and Mark a "9", because she thought their dance had a more emotional element to it and less technical. Last night she gave them an "8" on their second dance because she thought they were too ambitious and that it had too much of a technical element. I think Carrie Ann should be a little more consistent in her judging!

[elena]

wow i think that edyta and jason should win because kristi is like cheating and shes not even that good i think edyta and jason are the best and mario i think marissa is going to be out tonight i dont know why but i have a feeling but shes really good. i am alsos o excited cz its 100th show so julianne and derek and all thoughs amazing people are going to be there:D
