    I saw the very first hojur of "Dancing with the Stars" before "24," but it was after 9:00 when Leeza gibbons came on. Other wise, I waited until she was off stasge before I tune to '24." I like ther dncing form the tems and I like the commentary from the judges. But to me, the biggest star of "Dancing with the Stars" is Leeza Gibbons.I supported her from the beginning and I don't care how many flips Heather Mills does, I sticking to Leeza. If Leeza Gibbons get kick off the show, I will quit the show. My heart and soul belong to Leeza Gibbons.moreless
  • The dancing is easy to watch as well as enjoyable. The judges are usually pretty right on.

    Tonight's episode was so easy to watch and enjoy. Most of the couple's had put so much time and effort into their dance this past week. Laila and Max had some struggles due to Laila's previous commitments and that caused them to have problems finding time to practice. But really, I still thought they looked great dancing. Everyone looked pretty wonderful out there on the dance floor. All of the couple's have showed improvement in one way or another. For the one's who needed some extra work or made mistakes the judges were sure to catch it and point it out to them. The judges sometimes seem harsh but they really do know the rules of each dance and their criticism is usually pretty right on.moreless
  • Tough expectations and tough judging!

    Very tough show with the trot and the tango to being performed as Billy Ray I think will be the next person to go if he doesn't get it together. Shandi, who nearly was let go last week, really was more relaxed as well as that may have saved her. She seemed to be having more fun. Judges were tough as the expectations were tough as well.
  • The Tough Tango and the Fun Jive - Judges where extra tough and expectations where VERY HIGH.

    Shandi & Brian - Jive - Shandi was better. She looked like she had a lot more fun and she was more relaxed - I agree with the 21. John & Edyta - Tango - Great facial expressions - fit perfectly with the dance. Smooth lines - Loved John's hip action - John as always was class. I thought the judges score of 20 score was a little harsh. Clyde & Elena - Jive - Not bad but not necessarily good. - Clyde still looked a little stiff and ackward. I thought there was good footwork. Score of 16 was a little harsh.

    Laila & Maks - Tango - Great facial expressions. Her lack of prep time showed however agreed wholeheartedly with Carrie - She's the best female dance star in the contest. Score of 21 - deserved but......it's Laila.

    Apolo & Julianne - Jive - From an audience perspective they are just really fun to watch. I thought they were really good. Great chemistry as always. Agreed with the 23. Joey & Kym - Tango - GREAT JOB! Loved the whole Star Wars theme. I was really impressed with the facial expressions, Joey is so used smiling and it was a nice switch to see the serious face. 24 Score - First time saw the judge smile all night.

    Ian & Cheryl - Jive - Loved It ! Ian is still one of my all time favs. Ian REALLY loosened up and looked GREAT swinging those hips . . Agreed with the score of 24

    Leeza & Tony - Tango - Excellent - I've never been a huge fan of her's as a dancer but tonight she brought it. Great frames and keeping it simple was the key to success. I agree with the 24 score.

    Heather & Jonathan - Jive - I appreciate the acknowledgement of Heather unique challenge with the Jive but she brought it all to the table. I hate to admit it she's winning me over at least on the dance floor. Agree with the score of 24

    Billy Ray & Karina - Tango - I knew this dance was going to be a huge challenge for Billy Ray. The tango is a tough dance to begin with and with Billy's dance abilities that left a lot of questions. His desire to learn and improve is obvious. SCore of 21 well deserved.moreless

    • Len Goodman: (commenting to Billy Ray Cyrus after his Tango) You look as though you're really trying to do it, even if it doesn't come off.

    • Bruno Tonioli: (commenting to Apolo Anton Ohno after his Jive) I thought I was seeing John Travolta's Mini Me. You are so much fun, you should be a ride in Disneyland.

    • Len Goodman: (commenting to Cydle Drexler after his Jive) This week, you've done a U-turn, Clyde. It was a great effort, and I love you, but I'm afraid, as a dancer, it didn't happen.

    • Bruno Tonioli: (commenting to Cydle Drexler after his Jive) It was like a Jive through a dense fog: a bit fuzzy, and blurred at the edges.

    • Karina Smirnoff: The Tango was originally the dance of Argentinian cowboys. They would ride their horses all day and they stink up. Then without taking a shower, they would go to the bar and dance. And that's why Tango usually dances with their faces away from each other. Billy Ray Cyrus: And I tend to stink up the dance floor, so this will work out great.

    • Jonathan Roberts: The dilemma is, you can kick your right leg but you can't balance on your left. And you can balance on your right, but you can't kick your left. Heather Mills: Yeah, exactly. Jonathan Roberts: We're screwed!

    • Ian Ziering: There is so much hip action in this Jive, that my butt is so sore. Because every hip, you gotta clench a butt cheek! (Cheryl demonstrates hip shaking) Ian Ziering: You gonna have me doing that? Cheryl Burke: Yes! You're going to show Bruno what you've got!

    • (Apolo takes Julianne to the ice rink to show her how to speed skate) Julianne Hough: I might be graceful on the dance floor, but definitely not on the ice! Apolo Anton Ohno: It felt awesome to be back on the ice again and it was even better being the boss...for once!

    • (after Laila and Makim receive some harsh criticism from the judges) Tom Bergeron: I know Max well enough now that I'm just wondering what you're thinking...but probably it's best that we don't know!

    • Edyta Sliwinska: After our Tango, John is going to be known as John Tango Legs Ratzenberger!

    • (During a successful practice) Brian Fortuna: Where's Shandi today? Shandi Finnessey: She's absent! Shandi Finnessey: Brian is an amazing dancer and I don't want to be the reason that we leave. Brian Fortuna: That was amazing. Did you work on that? Shandi Finnessey: Yeah, a lot. Brian Fortuna: You've been doing Jive for two days and you are really great. Shandi Finnessey: The difference is now I'm dancing to save us.
