MRI indicates Cristian has a ruptured tendon in his biceps and will need surgery to repair it. Guess I will have to retract my "he is faking it" accusation.
Buh Bye Shannon.

Ya know Vamp I think you don't have to retract it because he took an ambulance to the hospital. Had he gotten a ride from someone I'd be a little more forgiving but an ambulance?

Marissa in the bottom two?! UGH!!
I really dislike how the judges have picked thier "winner", already. If Kristy does wins this, I'm going to turn into one of those monkeys at the zoo and starting really flinging poo.....

True BB....he is quite the drama queen...one word here...INSURANCE!!! And how about the showing of the MRI...they really had to do that to squelch the skeptics.
Carrie Ann was in a mood last night...she didn't seem to like anything.
The dancing was good. The popular vote will show up tonight.

Well, I was wrong about it coming down to Mario and Kristi. But Kristi is hanging on and has always (in skating) been a fierce competitor to the end. Aside from that I'm pleased that my girls are both still in it.
On the special show preceding the 100th show with eliminations, top ten of the past five seasons, I disagreed with the judges' choices in ranking. Once again political. All ten were the recipients of perfect 30's. I suppose to rank somone as top shelf and then see America turn around vote them out, made the judges want to tell America how stupid it is to not agree with them. I think that's why some of the highest of the top ten (including #1) were people who were eliminated in spite of the judges' glowing assessments. I'm not sure if Ellio was the best, but he could have been (definitely not the low rank of #5). He did that same routine twice in his competition and he nailed it both times.

I would like Kristi to win or even Cristian but only because Cheryl is his partner.
I think his torn muscle is this seasons equivalent to Marie Osmond's fainting - get a little sympathy, get some nice scores and then next week flushed down the toilet.

I've been watching televised figure skating events since the late 50's or early 60's, so I've been following Kristi thrughout her career. I'd love to see her win this. Cheryl and Edyta will be back, not Kristi. At any rate, it has become a really stiff competition.

YEAH!!!!
Capping off a series of flawless performances, figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi took home the mirror-ball trophy last night to win this season's edition of Dancing with the Stars.
The Olympic champion is the first woman to win the hit reality show since Season's 1 Kelly Monaco in 2005. She and her professional partner Mark Ballas were consistently at or near the top of the scoreboard during the show's sixth season. And in the two-part finale, she finished strongly with perfect scores on both nights.
She out-danced Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor, who overcame his fears of taunts from NFL teammates and showed unexpected grace on the dance floor, and Chilean TV star Cristian de la Fuente, who stayed in the competition despite rupturing a tendon during a live performance.
Yamaguchi's win shows that sports figures might have an edge on Dancing: The past three winners were race car driver Helio Castroneves, Olympic speed-skating champ Apolo Anton Ohno and former NFL running back Emmitt Smith.

Bleyers are getting harder and harder to find anymore. You know I'll be routing for Maurice Greene and Jeffery Ross. I hope Jeffrey Ross knows enough to not roast the judges until after the voting is out of their hands.

...you are joking, yes? She couldn't hold frame if she were in an art gallery.
I'm going with Misty, Ted, and Lance, and I am not counting out Warren (as much as I REALLY hate to say that...).
