I loved Ricki Lake's waltz, and was surprised at the fun Carson's salsa was, good entertainment if no technical skills, LOL!

Who will go first, do you think?

Jan, I felt the same way you did about not going to watch this time but I did. I have a hunch maybe Nancy may go first. I'm not sure she's very popular & that seems to be the way people vote for awhile. Carson was too entertaining to let go yet. David Arquette was sooo good to watch. I was so happy to see Derek back. He's a show all by himself.

I watched some of it and wasn't able to tell who was the star and was the professional dancer. They switch dancers so often ....

same here! i think there is so much more talent in the sing off don't you?

I have no issue with Chaz other than they did not need to discuss his change operation or lifestyle on the program or on the commercials. So now kids do know he is a transgender. I feel like he is doing DWTS just to publicise his new lifestyle rather than the actual dancing and preparing & practicing. DWTS is not the place to promote his life story or new book IMHO. That is my only issue. I hope he goes home soon. Bravo to him for trying though. Carson was hilarious and was not a bad dancer. The wounded soldier was great!!! Riki Lake did okay doing the waltz. The other names all escape me. Will have to watch it tonight.

The basketball player may be the first to go....I think he was the worst dancer.

I watched the first half, then switched to Two and a Half Men..I'm bummed I missed Chaz. David Arquette was awfully cute, but wow, none of the men could move. Thought Nancy Grace stunk, missed Riki Lake...but she's got Derek for her pro so she's got a chance...should be interesting.

I was surprised Chaz did as well as he did - but we'll see if he stays or not - I like to watch it - but many times forget.
