Michael/Anna - very good (for Michael, anyway!). I was impressed. He seems to do better when he is just having fun.

Donny/Kym - a bit messy in parts, but very entertaining. Donny has so much fun with DWTS, you have to like it.



GO YANKEES!

I honestly don't think I could be partnered with Kym and stay focused on the dancing. Yowza. I love the Aussie accent, too.

Mark practices with Tony!

He's glad Anna stepped in, since he can't dance with Tony on the show. Why not? That would be a hoot!

I didn't really like it. Anna and Lacey are completely different, and it was just weird to watch Anna doing Lacey's choreography.



GO YANKEES!

Mark's dance was fun, although it was certainly filled with odd moves.

I'll probably give all my votes to him because he'll need them.

I'm with Bruno and CA. Mya's foxtrot was dynamic and good.

Len's a f*cking a$$hole...plain & simple.....he has something against Mya.......people should start throwing things at him.........

I almost can't stand watching the show anymore he's so rude to her........

Mya/Dmitry - good.

Aaron/Karina - a lot of dancing apart (is the jive usually like that?) but it was high-energy and fun. Aaron really is a good dancer, even though I think he's a little twerp.



GO YANKEES!

Aaron's kicks were very fast and sharp... much more so than most celebs have been able to do over the years.

Kelly doesn't appear to deal with stress very well.

Kelly/Louis - good, not great. I agree, she didn't look like she was having fun...at times she was quite tentative. I am sooo rooting for her this season...but I'm not sure she has what it takes.

Joanna/Derek - they are always good. However, to me she seemed a bit awkward at times (too tall?).



GO YANKEES!

OK, maybe that was it.



GO YANKEES!

That was a FAST tango.

Team Paso - liked it!

Team Tango - loved it!



GO YANKEES!

Team Tango was better for me. Team Paso was out of synch and lacked teamwork.

Michael did better tonight. I don't get the over-the-top praise for Kelly, her salsa was a white hot mess. Joanna, Mark, Donnie and Aaron are doing the best. Mya is technically good each week, but boy is she dull as dishwater. I agree with Len's critique of her, there's just something that doesn't work. Maybe she needed a more charismatic partner or maybe she's just so sure she's got this thing won, she's half-assing it.

ETA: I apologize in advance for how long this is. Didn't realize how winded I got!

To me, Mya is really, really good. But, BORING. I agree that I don't know what it is, but to guess, she just comes off as a very good technical dancer without much else. No real emotion.
While I'm all for putting your own twist to the dances (you have to), you can't go overboard with it until the dance isn't even recognizable as to what it was originally supposed to be. She, and Mark at times, are especially guilty of this. They are both fantastic dancers, but they put SO much added stuff in there that it almost seems like a lack of appreciation, even respect, of the dance itself.

This is supposed to be "ballroom". Put a twist in there, personalize it, but don't change it so much that it looks like nothing more than any other modern dance out there.

Joanna is really good. But I can't remember any really fast dances she has done. I know she has to have, but I can't remember them. I only remember the slow ones. She has elegance that is perfect for that type of dance. Can someone remind me of the more fast dances she has done?

Michael puts his whole heart into every dance. He may not always do well, but he throws himself completely into it. I can't help but respect that.

Kelly, God bless her, is fighting her own personal demons through this process. I see her being weak at times and having triumphs at times. She isn't the best there, don't think she should win, but I can't help but to root for her on a personal level. Whatever the outcome of this show for her, I hope it raises her confidence in herself. She has proven she is capable of SO much. I want her to take it to heart and use it to strive in her life for whatever it is she wants to do.

Aaron is cool, a bit cocky, but cool. A bit on the fence with this guy. He's kind of just, well, heck, I can't decide! LOL. Not someone I root for or against. Just.... eh.

Then there's Donny. He's good more often than not and he brings such a work ethic to it. He gets dramatic at times and sometimes I kind of cringe, LOL, but yet, I adore him for it. I have noticed that after all the hoopla he can do, he slows down and really "listens" to the judges. He takes their comments and uses them in the following week. He struggles harder than some, then finds it easier than others. He probably is, truly (on a technical front) middle of the pack. But to me, he knows when to have fun and then when to take it very seriously. He has the correct balance and puts technical moves and passion into every dance he does.

He may or may not win, but he is my choice completely.

I keep thinking Aaron (who is he, anyway?) is going to stroke out after dancing the way that vein is popping out of his forehead!

Thanks Red...I missed the scores, I thought Team Tango was great, but I had to change the channel to catch my next show, so here I am looking to see there scores.

I don't vote, because it wouldn't be fair, I just think that Joanna is so lucky to have Derek for a partner, boy can that kid dance.

Michael & Anna - this was Michael's best dance ever. He had so much emotion and his moves were really great. His scores were right on (except for Bruno - it should have been all 8's).

Mark & Anna - it's awful that Lacey wasn't there. The judges were so harsh on him. I thought his dance was a lot of fun. I thought that was what the dance was all about.

Donny & Kym - I just love Donny . He looks amazing. And he shines in every dance!!

Aaron & Karina - he has really impressed me lately. He has taken the criticism and ran with it. He's cocky, but it works for him.

Mya & Dimitri - she is always good, but always boring. Stop the stuff that Len hates. Just dance!!!

Kelly & Louis - nice pants Louis. And as Frannie said - it was a mess. How did she get higher than Mark and Michael?? Sympathy votes I think.

Joanna & Derek - Derek gets some of the best dancers. Joanna is amazing. She was so elegant and that dance was very sexy.

Team Tango was so much more in synch than Team Paso. Both dances were great, though. I really wish Natalie was still there. She didn't deserve to go as soon as she did.

What gimmicks?? I didn't see any gimmicks this time........all I saw was straight-up classy hollywood style dancing.........clearly there is a personal issue he has with her.........nothing else......

I don't see the same thing you do.....she is really trying hard to please him.......I think Sabrina Ryan had the same problem with him.....no matter how good she did Len always scored her low.......and I think it also happened with the gymnast too.......sorry...but I am not buying what Len is putting down for her......scoring her 2 to 3 points lower than the other 2 judges....something more is happening.......

Monkster, what do you think is happening with Len and Mya? I saw the gimmicks...the screen, which I liked...the crawling on the floor, the lack of hold for a good portion of the dance.

For me, she's good, but as others have said boring. In her Foxtrot she never cracked a smile. She doesn't connect with the audience or Dmitry. Maybe Len feels that, too. And she doesn't seem to listen to his critique or maybe it's Dmitry who isn't.

Roblove, Joanna did the mambo and the salsa...maybe the cha cha. Seems like she had another Latin dance, too.

I disagree! Mya's dances are the most entertaining to me and to the large portion of the viewers. There is a reason why her videos are usually the most viewed. I guess you guys like cheesy since Donny is your favorite! And she did smile during the foxtrot, you guys are not paying attention!

She is trying to please all three judges, the problem is that Len doesn't know what he wants.

The first week, he said it wasn't a vienesse waltz. Third week, he thought the rumba had too many tricks. Fourth week, Mya had to pressure Dmitry into not adding too many tricks to the routine but it turns out Len was expecting more. Fifth week, Len was impressed but the other two judges were not for the first time. Sixth week, they thought that gimmicks could work but it didn't. Seventh week, they added some theatrics to show personality (this was for Bruno and Carrie Ann, who both enjoyed the theatrics of the jive) but they kept the theatrics to a minimum for Len. Went well with the other two judges and even some detractors loved the dance! You guys are being too harsh on Mya when she has no idea what exactly she can do to impress all three judges.

Thanks for your view Red....

Anonymous.....that's how I see it as well.....Len did this to another celebrity in another season...I think it was Sabrina and the gymnast in the other season......no matter how hard she tried to please Len.....she could not....and the one week she did....CarrieAnn & Bruno got tough on her.....if it were me.....I would keep doing what I was doing.....and pleasiing at least 2 of the 3 judges......but Len is being too harsh to Mya.....I don't find her boring at all.......and she should have won the mambo face-off that Joanna won......and if you watch that again.....Len was the final decision to give Joanna the win.....over Mya......but clearly Mya was the better dancer.....all Derek did was bend Joanna backward and keep lifting her head up and down over again to make it look like she was giving a blowjob......

Here is what Mya said and it goes along with what I said:

Facing Tough Critics: She’s one of the season’s most consistent and best performers. So why is it every week judge Len Goodman gives Mya and Chaplin their lowest score? “I don’t think he has anything against us,” Mya says. “He wants us to keep pushing to the next level so that we can reach three tens. We’re not achieving some factor in our dance. Either it’s too technical and Bruno [Tonioli] and Carrie Ann [Inaba] won’t like it, or it’s too performance-based or gimmicky. So we have to find a happy Medium to please the audience, the three judges and ourselves and be true to the dance.”

Thanks for posting this.....the same thing happened to Sabrina Ryan......Mark was clearly pissed at Len during that time.......The gymnast had the same problem.......
