Oh my gosh!!! All the stars were on fire tonight. They all did so well. But there are two performances that I really wanted to talk about tonight. First, Marlee! I am still so blown away at how well she is doing. She is deaf, yet has some of the best rythmn I have seen in some of the stars that have been on this show. It still amazes me how, she looks like she can really hear the music when she dances. I am almost at a loss for words by her performance. I hope she goes a long way on this show and I wouldn't mind seeing her win it. Second, Adam! Up until this week, I have really been upset that Julianna got stuck with a partner that didn't seem to really care or didn't seem to be trying. But tonight he really pulled it off. I was totally amazed at how well he did. I am really hoping that Julianna's fan base will pull them through one more week. Julianna is a very strong dancer and teacher. I fully believe that if Adam keeps trying like he did this week. He will improve even more. Now, I know he will most likey not win, there are too many other awesome dancers. But I would like to see how much more he can improve, plus I love watching Julianna dance. So those are the two that really stuck out for me. Which two performances really stood out for you? Was it someone who really seemed to improve or just your favorite?

I think Marlee is the absolute best. No contest. Not only is she the best at the dancing and all, but she is doing it deaf. I still can't fathom how she can do it so extrodinarily and not hear the beat or be able to use the sound or beat to make the steps in time and all that. Absolutely amazing. I just don't see the big attraction to Pricilla Presley. She doesn't have the personality to put into it like the others. Penn was better than she is both in dancing and personality and floor display. Oh well, I just hope MArlee wins!

Priscilla may not have the personality to put into it like the others, but I still have to give her credit for being able to move the way she does at the age of 62. That to me is just amazing! But I am with you and I hope Marlee wins it. I think her winning will really show people that just because you are handicapped doesn't mean you can't do normal things that everyone else does. She is such an inspiration.

Yes Marilee is amazing, she proves what I tell my children, the only people who can't do something are the ones who refuse to try. The other lady who has done a wonderful job is Priscilla Pressley, I am 51, she puts me to shame. I bet there are a lot of 30 somethings in awe of this regal lady. Did you notice last night though she seemed to be getting irratated by her pardoner? She pushed his arm and hand off of her several times when they went to the back to wait on their score, and once when they were in front of the judges. It seemed like she was saying, look I can just barely hold myself up, get off! LOL. I thought it was too cool.

Yes Priscilla did do a wonderful job. I really like all the dances. I couldn't pick even one that I didn't like. As for Priscilla pushing her partner away, I didn't even notice. When I watch the results show tonight, I will have to see about what you are talking about when the do recaps of last night.

I agree with you that Julianne is a fantastic dancer, and I disagreed with Adam's assessment of her wig. I thought it was surprising and adorable. Marlee is amazing to be dancing so well in spite of her deafness, but she still doesn't blow me away. I don't dislike her, I'm just not excited by her at this point. For me the performance of the night was actually... Priscilla. I came into this not expecting to like her a bit. In fact, I didn't expect her to still be around. I don't know if I'll still feel this positive about her next week, but she was great in the tango. I think that the judges were really hard on people last night, particularly Marissa. I thought she was adorable and their comments were unjust. Could it be stemming from the fact that her figure is so different from, say, Shannon's?? I hope not. (Shannon also did great, by the way). I ended up being a little disappointed in Kristi, but I blame at least part of it on her music. Where do they get some of those songs??? I really didn't feel like she deserved that 27 last night. I'm glad she got it because I had picked her to get the high score on the fantasy dancing thing on abc.com, but it was my least favorite of her performances. Back to the original question - my favorite two dances last night were Priscilla and Jason. He really does show great style out there, and he's certainly not bad on the eyes. It would be nice to see Edyta finally win one... but I think he's my choice for second. I'm still favoring Kristi.

Yes it would be nice to see Edyta finally win, but I would really like to see a woman when it for a change. Marissa might be the one to go home and I am sure if she is she will definitly cry. She really enjoys being on the show and she has a lot of heart. But, it's really anyone's game right now as there aren't really any bad dancers left.

I agree with you Marlee is great and amazing to watch. My other fav is shannon I just love her. Adam has got to stay he may not be the best dancer but hes fun to watch.

Shannon is one of my favorites as well, but I was just really amazed at everyone's performances. No, Adam is not the best dancer but I think he showed last night that he can become better and be a good dancer if he is given the chance.

I continue to be dumbfounded by Marlee. She is absolutely amazing! One week they displayed to us what she actually hears and I think she can kind of hear the music, perhaps the beat anyway, in a fuzzy sort of way. Regardless, she is a terrific dancer with or without hearing and I am pulling for her to go all the way! I like Julianne too and Adam is pretty funny, and I did give them one of my votes tonight, but I really want to see a woman win this season. I'm betting it will be Kristi but I'm voting for Marlee.

Yes I fully agree. I would really like to see a woman win it this season. Every season with the exception of the first season, a man has won it. So it is long over due that a woman wins it this year. I believe this is a very good possibility as there are some really good woman stars this season.

I didn't think everyone was great tonight, but don't think the worst will go home this week. He was so busy signing autographs that he didn't practice very much. Mario made many mistakes and told us he plans to spend more time next week dancing. I guess this week wasn't important to him. There are more than 2 people that impressed me this week, but several always come ready to perform brilliantly. Marlee and Adam were great and Adam really surprised me, as he really worked hard this week. Kristi was impressive and certainly has a great chance at winning. I think she is the best female.

Yes Mario made some mistakes, but I still think he did good. I doubt he will go home as he has a really hugh fan base. Kristi was amazing to watch but I really think that she has a slight advantage because of her skating.
