'Dancing With the Stars' results

Tonight's Dancing With the Stars starts with the sad announcement that Jane Seymour's mother passed away the night before. They add that she will be returning next week (having gained enough votes) to pay tribute to her mother, who urged her to join the show in the first place. Very sad. My thoughts are with her and her family.

And, well, hope this isn't too awkward of a transition, but for the rest of the show, it goes a little like this: Queen Latifah performs, pros dance, couples are safe, Queen Latifah performs, dancers do talking head interviews.

My favorite moment, though, was actually the Jimmy Kimmel bit, but only becasuse Count from Sesame Street is revealed to be the one counting the votes. I have a soft spot for the Count.

Bottom two couples: Albert and Anna and Wayne and Cheryl.

Going home: Albert and Anna.

Wow. That fan base thing really does make a difference. My question is: Mark Cuban has fans?

Mark Cuban definitely has fans!!!!!

Surprisingly bummed by "America's" Choice to bump off the better dancers. Ugh, so disappointed

Wayne newton has absolutely no
rythum & what's with the hands?

I love Wayne Newton but come on America. He's got to go!!!!!!!

Sabrina Byan is going to win Dancing With the Stars.

DUH\

I Love Sabrina Byan!
She is so pretty!

Mark Cuban is HOT! Don't agree about Sabrina - too early to tell but the race car driver is GOOD! I'd really like to see a lady win this year though.

Albert going home before Wayne? That's bogus!! The same way it was bogus to keep Master P on for so long......... or to have Emmitt Smith win. He was good but not that good.

The producers are afraid if the fans don't see their favorite faces stay on, they won't keep watching. That's also bogus. If people like to watch stars compete, they'll stay tuned.

The voting should be, at a minimum, 60% judges votes, 40% call-in votes. If name recognition is going to be the driving force to generate votes, then they should only put big names on to level the playing field. What chance will the lesser-known 'star' have? What kind of a fan base did Albert have? It significantly reduced his chance to win despite what the judges thought. And Mark Cuban has a large fan base in the Dallas Metroplex, a highly populated area, because he owns the Mavs. That's the same area that kept Emmitt in it to the end.

I won't keep watching if they're going to stack the odds in favor of the 'well known' in order to manipulate the ratings and not judge on effort, improvement, and ability.

who wants to keep them in. this is a dancing show where the two people dance. not like wayne walkin around

Vefry obvious that the winners already who they are. First time Grandma got a 15 score,, at back stage she reached for a card nearby that had 15 on it then she gave her little speech. THe football player will be winner or one of last to go. He is not one of the best dancers. Shows a lot of his rehearsal time etc. Easy to see he is no compition for the younger group

I BELIEVE THIS IS ANOTHER HOAX SAME AS A VERY INTERESTING SHOW IS PHONEY BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH
