There is definitely something wrong on Dancing With the Stars when, say, Kyle Massey scores more points than Jennifer Grey. Help me figure out what the judges are thinking here. I’m not saying Kyle is a bad dancer, but he’s not in Jennifer’s league. His partner, Lacey Schwimmer, always uses the same jerky moves and intense stares during their choreography. And every one of their dances ends with an almost kiss.
Jennifer and her partner Derek Hough are completely different. Derek challenges her with amazingly difficult moves for each routine. He trusts that she can pull them off, which she usually does. Yet last night the judges only gave Jennifer twenty points out of thirty, while Kyle received twenty-three. Jenifer did make a small mistake at the end of her Paso Doble, but overall her performance deserved a much better score. I thought they were too hard on her last week as well! What is the problem Carrie Ann, Bruno, and Len? Huh?
C’mon Carrie Ann. A six? That dance was not worthy of such an insulting score. I feel like at this point Jennifer Grey is getting punished for being the best one out there, taking chances, and rising to the difficult challenges presented by Derek Hough’s choreography. And that’s not fair.
As far as who is going home this week, my guess would be athlete Kurt Warner and his huge baseball mitt hands. As you know, last week I would have said Bristol Palin (The Pail) for sure, but she actually surprised the hell outta me this week. Major improvement!
Not so for Kurt. He’s just clumsy. And not even excellent rocker advice from Bret Michaels could help him in the attitude department. That means his sneering professional dance partner Anna will get out of our faces too, thank goodness.
At least that’s what I’m hoping for. We shall see.

(Bigeyes) Baseball Mitt hands? :-) Well I guess they are pretty big, but if you had to throw that football as he did, a manicure just gets in the way :-)

Football mitt hands??
. . . . .
The Warn!
He’s gone … !!!
The Tea Baggers have put a hit order on the judges if BP gets eliminated!
But maybe they just want to bring Jennifer down a bit since everyone has called her the winner since day one. There’s no drama if they don’t put her in danger once in a while. I don’t even watch this season, but I still cast all of my votes for Jen!
With the lousy scores they gave Jennifer last night, I actually did vote, both phone and text. I think they’re being totally unfair to her, just because she’s better than most of the other stars.

Maybe Chuck is right about the drama, but the harshness on her has been going on for the last three weeks. It’s weird to me, as she’s smoking everyone away. And the love for Brandy grows … I haven’t voted yet this season, Lisana, but maybe Jennifer needs me!
As students of dance for a decade, my husband and I were stunned by the judges shockingly harsh comments to Jennifer and Derek. Their dance just blew us away. They put the sizzle in Dancing With the Stars tonight. All season the judges have given minimum positive feedback to Audrina and Jennifer and handled Bristol with kid gloves. We agree Bristol has improved, but she is not in the same league as these other dancers. Let’s be fair in our judgement and reward outstanding work and performance with outstanding praise and scoring.

I’m with you CJ. I thought she was fantastic last night.
