Dancing With the Stars Season Six Cast Revealed!

As bad as I feel for Shannon, I have to agree with her going.  She just wasn't improving at the same rate as the other competitors.  I made my hubby watch Monday's dance performances with me and he couldn't see what the judges were talking about when they said she had alot of hip action.  She did in the obvious spots where all she had to do was stand and "shake it", but otherwise she was very stiff throughout her Latin dance.  Ballroom is more her strength, but she still doesn't quite know what to do with her long limbs.  Remember Stacey Keebler?  Same type of body, incredibly long limbs, but Stacey knew how to extend her legs, hold her arms, finish her positions, etc.  That's something Shannon never quite got the hang of.  I'm sorry to see her go, but it looks like she got her reward....Derrick!   :flirt:

(Ya had to know that Christian would get enough sympathy votes to stay!)

Although I wanted to see her and Derek continue dancing I do believe they did get it right in sending Shannon home she seemed uncomfortable when she danced and the improvement just wasn't going to be there for her!  Darn. 

vanillalatte:
Hmmmm...interesting night on DWTS.  None of the stars got very good comments on their Latin dances except Christain.  I did agree that Cheryl did an outstanding job of choreographing around his injury, but I still felt like his scores were slightly inflated.  The Latin dance was good but 29?  Nah...

Tonight, I'll actually be splitting my votes for Kristi and Marissa.  I don't usually like to split my votes, but I really want Marissa to stay. 

I know this is going to come across as riteous and a tad silly, but I was a really put off by Jason's costume in the second dance...those were rosary beads around his neck and I was taught growing up (in a STRICT Catholic family) that wearing a rosary like a necklace was incredibly disrespectful.  We were never EVER allowed to let the cross dangle in any way.

I agree vanillalatte anyone could go home this week, but Christain was given mercy votes and I think with his injury he should go home but for some reason I don't think that's happening.  My picks to stay for sure are Jason and Marissa.  Out of all of them Jason is the one that came completely out of his element with absolutely no dancing experience and is showing quite a bit of improvement so he should go all the way.  Christain has no dancing experience either but he is injured.   Out of the others I think Marissa should go all the way with Jason and they should be the final two.

Well, my first thought was "you've got to be kidding", rosesrred in your preference for Marissa and Tony and your obvious disdain for the better dancing of Kristi and Mark. However, I guess you can use other factors than pure dancing ability in a dancing ability contest! Let's bring back Marie Osmond!!! Where is she when you need her? Here are the actual scores of each couple, with Cristian and Cheryl surprising in the lead last night and certain to do well with the sympathy vote from the fans even if they were not:

Kristi and Mark 29 Quickstep 26 Samba    55 total
Mario and Karina 27 Waltz 26 Jive            53 total
Marissa and Tony 25 Foxtrot 25 Mambo    50 total Note that this is 10% below Kristi and Mark
Jason and Edyta 29 Tango 23 Samba       52 total
Cristian and Cheryl 29 Foxtrot 28 Mambo 57 total Congratulations for what had to be an extremely gritty perofrmance, with more of that to could from them since Cristian must keep his arm stiff
