Kinda bummed about Joanna but I really want Donny or Kelly to win over the plant.

Well, I like the UK system. It's a lot harder for the judges to fuck with it, especially now that they've changed the system a bit to keep the person
on the bottom viable, should the public vote that way.
And...I think you've got that backwards. The top person on the leaderboard gets the most points, the person on the bottom gets the least amount of points. Same with the voting position. Then they always have a dance-off (until the final). |

I think it's easier for the judges to get what they want. They just save who they want in the danceoff, and they score in a way which gets a danceoff they
want. Like last season with Austin Healy. They scored in a way which made it impossible for him not to be in the bottom two at the semifinal. He was, and they
got rid of him over Lisa "best female dancer to never win" (ha) Snowden.
The only reason that backfired was because it ended up as a tie when there were three people left and viewers were in disbelief because they saw what the show was trying to do (getting the last guy out). |

OK, first of all YAY FOR KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! So much joy!!!!
Second...Blueberry you weren't even a fetus when the Osmonds were big, so you are underestimating Donny's appeal. He was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more popular than his sister and obviously his fan base is voting in large numbers or he wouldn't have been able to overcome the scoring disadvantage to beat Joanna. She was SEVEN points ahead of him. If he has a solid performance in the finals the Osmond fanbase is going to go nutz with the voting. Donny is a contender. Third...I think Kelly's voting base is much larger than it was at Week 1. She has grown throughout the competition and her weekly segments with Louis have endeared her to many viewers. After this week's good routines (personally, I felt their waltz was underscored) she's got a ton of support. Still, I'd be surprised (but very pleased!) if she can pull out a win. Finally, I still think Mya is going to win. I don't necessarily think she's going to get a lot of Joanna's voters--I think they'll be split. She seems to be unbeatable on the floor though and her scores will reflect that. And people that don't have a favourite amongst the three and who simply vote for the best dancer will vote for Mya...that should be enough to put her on top. |

His purple outfit was the color of my bedroom (multi-purple shades) growing up, due, in part to Mr. Osmond. Marie used to get me so mad when she picked on him on the Donny & Marie show. I was about 10 when it was on. |

You gotta love Joanna. She's already on Twitter, saying she hopes Donny and Kelly do well in the finals.

Kelly for 3rd! Can't stand her.
Donny is so winning. Like someone else said, they called it as soon as he was cast, so did I. He has a HUGE fanbase and they are almost all in this show's demo. Much bigger than Marie's fanbase. Just head over to Donny.com. He has a "Vote for Donny" store, complete with shirts, hats, buttons and stickers! Very organized those Mormons are. |

I'm happy she's not coming back.
Let's hope she stays away forever |

Julianne won't stay gone. She left once for her music career & came slinking back when it failed. Her movie career will fail too so she'll be back.

Awww.. I am so happy for Kelly too.. and Louis.. I REALLY like him. I am looking forward to what he's going to do for a freestyle.
I'd love to see Donny get booted at 3rd so that he can't hold anything over Marie's head. |

Although I'm thrilled for both Kelly and Donny (my favorites from the start) - I was shocked Joanna was eliminated. I disagree that Derek carried her-
thought she danced beautifully and she's not a fricken bore like Mya -who, by the way has clearly done more dancing than just tap. She was in Chicago, no?

So it seems that most folk never grow out of high school. Everything's a popularity contest.
