Was anyone surprised to see Leeza Gibbons go tonight?

I think this season is more predictable than ever. It is more of a popularity contest than ever. If you're in the bottom two one week and don't go out, you will be in the bottom two next week and will go out. So that means John Ratzenberger is next. I hate it when these viewer voting shows become popularity contests instead of voting for those who can dance. Do you really think Clive should still be there? Please! I was thrilled to see Drew Lachey jump into the mix tonight. I was thinking about him as that routine went on because he won with that routine and song. How great was that?

I didn't think Leeza was that good.Drew was very good. That was a good routine.Joey Fatone is doing well this year.

I was a little surprised, she was a little stiff, but I more so expected it to be Clyde that went home. He's really tall, so it must be hard to dance with someone so much shorter but he just doesn't seem to be putting his heart into it and Leeza seemed to. It also seems that he's late to every practice and that's not fair to his partner. When I saw the outfit the Cheryl was wearing I figured it was going to be Drew that was returning, that's the outfit they wore on their last dance together.

I think Leeza was really bad, she had no emotion or having fun with the dancing. She was just really stiff and horrible, in my opinion. Clive is good, but not great...he is loosing up a bit more each week. and I too was THRILLED to see Drew dancing. He's so cute. lol

I wasn't surprised to see her go. I think you're right about it being a popularity contest. I haven't enjoyed this season as much as I did the last one. I think either John or Clyde will be the next to go.

Yes I agree it is pretty predictable. That is the problem when these shows allow the audience to vote but I guess thats going to happen. Not much we can do but you are right Clive should have gone before Leeza. She was putting in more effort. Oh well. I had heard there was going to be a surprise dancer so when they started the routine I was wondering. I loved hearing that song cause everytime I do I think of their routine. It was so great to watch. They had such chemistry too. Loved it.

Well, I do think that Leeza would be going soon, but I think that Clive should have gone this week if not last week. He's just NOT good AT ALL! John isn't great either, but he tries and has fun...it just seems that Clive isn't even trying or wanting to be there anymore.

I wanted to see much more of Drew. But it was fun to see him at all. As soon as I saw the costumes, I had a feeling he would show up. I wish they'd send Clive home. Compared to him, Leeza was a limp noodle. And he has this look on his face all the time like he doesn't want to be there. It's all just soooo much bother. sigh. I didn't want Leeza to go. She works hard and improves each week. She deserved to stay. Even Billy Ray and John, who aren't good dancers, really put their best effort into it, and it shows. Get rid of Clive. Please.

I am glad she is gone, even thou i think Billy Ray should of went the first week. I hope John doesnt go next week i actually like watching him dance. I will be a little mad if Billy Ray wins just because of popularity. He doesnt deserve to be there he is pretty bad as a dancer,its time for him to go. LOL of course its time for Sanjaya to go along time ago and look what america has done with that show.

I was not surprise that Leeza went home. She was too stiff as a dancer. She was told a couple of times to loosen up and she still had not done that. As far as the show being predictable I don't think so. I can pretty much narrow it down every week to two people but I don't always get it right as far as who is going home. But I do believe it is all based on popularity. People like Clive and Billy Ray have a large fan base that are keeping them around. But I also think that Billy has improved since week 1. I was also excited to see Drew come back and dance with cheryl. But was it just me or did he look like he has put on some weight?

I was. For a woman who has such alluring soles, toes and arches, she should have lasted longer. I wonder what her feet smelled like--NO!--I wonder what her toes tasted like after a day's worth of dance practice.
