For those of us on the East Coast, a reminder not to spill the beans on the results in the title of your post......so those on the left coast can enjoy it

Anyone know who they will be...?

sometimes i think the network makes the decisions on who will stay or go, depending on the ratings and how famous a person or a person's family is..example Chaz, Carson, or Khardasian....they are mediocre dancers if they can be called dancers???....Chynna should not have been voted off for one week of mistakes, when chaz and carson have been making one mistake after another....

gone are the expertise of Ballroom dancing...it is a farce, they are looking for entertainment factors only..

I HOPE THEY GAVE THE TROPHY TO JR!

I hope its J.R. It all depends on the votes..I vote. Do You?

He was so right in saying what he said last night and I'm glad he did. Too bad he controlled himself and didn't say more. I just hope he doesn't apologize and back down.

i think CHAZ looked better and he is as enthusiastic as the rest of the contenders....it helped that CHER was there to cheer him on.....also he has a huge fan following, he is the under dog and is giving it his all....should he win the mirrored trophy, i say no...he deserve an award for doing his best and giving others a glimpse of what you can do once you put your mind and body in it...GO CHAZ...keep up the good work.

Did anyone catch Brooke introduce Unchained Melody as Enchanted Melody?
