Dancing with the Stars - No More Tears

Actress Shannon Elizabeth's dramatic run on Dancing with the Stars came to an end this week when she became the latest celebrity eliminated from the competition. 

Rumors of a romantic hook-up between Shannon and her partner were swirling about all season, and the couple was plagued by relatively low scores.  The judges often took Shannon to task for lack of proper hip action and for seeming "gangly" and "awkward."   Last week she and Derek got mega-upset at the judge's comments and low scoring and staged a Class II Hissy Fit.  Shannon cried while Derek seethed at the perceived inequity in the judge's scoring.  They apologized later, but that scene couldn't have helped with the votes.

This week the judge's loved Shannon and Derek's tango, but had no love for the couple's mambo despite the presence of a prosthetic bum under Shannon's skirt.  I'm not kidding, she threw some extra weight back in the trunk, but it didn't work.  A lack of votes and a relatively low judges' score spelled doom for the young couple, so they'll be going home this week... together.

In other news, Cristian de la Fuente got checked out at the hospital after an injury destroyed his samba this week.  He ruptured a tendon in his bicep and needs surgery... after the competition is over.  He's determined to finish up, but will the injury hamper his chances at victory?  It seems likely.

This show is becoming a "circus" where contestants are like monkeys, jirafes,etc. The coaches are inventing a new variety of movements that they should be given new names, such as: potatoes, cabbages,or gargle, anything.
Jason's "paso doble" look more like boxing, and the way they were dressed!!!! come on, who do they think they are fooling? The music was another missmucsicality. Edyta's dress, was more of an undress.Why don't they just forget about clothes and move in the nude. Edyta's dress (undress), and Jason gym outfit, were a disgrace to the art of dancing.
Christi's pulling off with her gymnastics is another falace. She can authomatize steps but she kills the escence of the beauty of dancing because there is no soul, no emotion, but plain acrobatics and routinary robot like memorized, repeticious movement in a vacum.
Shanon Elizabeth, just didn't have it in her. It was like an ostrich running wild.
the judges comments (Bruno) with his superlative adjetives was ridiculous. Does he need glasses maybe?
Since when, and where tango has to mean "anger", "domestic violence" almost pathological behavior?
in this show they seem to mixed up the escense of the real dances.
the judges are expecting to get limonade from rocks, no body can achieve perfection in one week. All those rules they seem to be obsese about just doesn't fit nor have any meaning to these "stars" who have no concept, nor familiarity to the origines and what each dance represents.
this is all about money, nudity, exhibitionism, histeria, and etc. etc. (period).

I so enjoy DWTS and never miss a program but I certainly would like to know WHY I get cheated out of a portion of my phone votes each week. Am never allowed the full number when I get this message stating I have used all my votes from my number and that is not true.
