It’s Almost Monday – and YOU Know What That Means!!
Time to get your voting fingers limber! Clear your calendar! Gang, we’re down to the final 7 now and facing a double elimination; if you haven’t lost sleep voting, now might be a good time to start. 
This is going to be the most difficult week yet, without question. We’ve got some pretty popular competitors, and we have someone (Mark D.) who is not only popular but will have a replacement partner (Anna Trebunskaya) who will get the often assumed sympathy vote. Often assumed, often a reality.
Top 7 – six very good dancers and a guy who is charming as hell and has visited bottom two multiple times without leaving. We have our work cut out for us. Voting starts tomorrow as soon as the show starts in your time zone. Phone voting continues in your time zone until one-half hour after the show ends – the best strategy is to get your phone votes in as soon as the voting is open then move on to online voting. Online voting continues until NOON EASTERN time the next day (Tuesday).

Don’t send us home – she will pass out!!
Listen to Professor Derek – you can vote multiple times. No math knowledge required!
I’m nervous for tonight, no more like nauseous. Mostly because Joanna tweeted that Derek was cranky this week, so I’m sure there will be rehearsal footage of him being cranky and everyone will get all up in arms on the various message boards. I enjoy talking about DWTS with other fans, but multiple hate treads everywhere make it tiresome. Its like people hold Derek to this impossible standard of perfection. He’s human! Cut him a little slack.
I think I’ll go sign up for some more email addresses.
Please do sign up for more email addresses. You don’t even want to know how many I have.
As for talking about Derek – sooner or later we will have a forum attached to this site so everyone can talk about Derek with no hate threads to be navigated. But look at the hate threads the way I do – when you have a lot of hate threads, it’s because people who favor other teams view you as a threat. So, every hate thread directed at Derek is, IMO, acknowlegement that he is THE BEST at what he does. They try to tear him down to make their favorite look better.
All that said – the other teams do have something our team does not. A celeb with a huge fanbase. Derek has a huge fanbase, and I think a lot of people are really liking Joanna a lot – but Donny and Mya and Aaron will be extremely difficult to beat because of loyal, long term followings. We really have to work HARD.
I thought maybe one would be practicing that knock out dance again. You know they still have to worry about that but I would hope DAD but seems tonight would be a difficult time to rehearse that.
Anyway I hope the Rumba is smokin and we don’t have to worry about the KO dance:)
I think Derek won the design a dance, in his last tweete he said that he had 4 different rehearsals.
one with Joanna for the rumba, one with the group tango, one with Mark and the last is probably with Sabrina.
I never thought about that! i saw the tweet about the 4 rehearsals but didn’t even think about one being for Design a dance!! there is another singer preforming on Tues show he could be dancing for that! i wouldn’t think so cuz Ballas Hough r also preforming but u never know!! also a question about Ballas Hough Band Derek tweeted “Check out BALLAS HOUGH .com … Do it .. Now !!! Do it. Ha ha … The rest of the band is stilll rockin when we play live … No worries” and Emily also tweeted that she is doing a show today in Atlantic City then flying home!! Sam said he would be watching it later cuz i think he is still in England and heard nuthing about Harry yet!! so i think most of the band is gonna preform on tues!! sorry for the really long post lol!!!
Get plenty of rest tonight folks so you can stay up very late tomorrow night. We have a lot of voting to do. This week scares me also. Double elimination and down to 7 with the Rumba scores. I am just ready to be very sleep deprived on Tuesday at work but will make it all worth it if Team DJ survives:))
Let’s all vote really hard to keep Derek & Jo in the running!!!
Those pictures are so hot!! I’m so worried about this week. You are right,this is the most important week ever, as important as when Derek was in the finals. Please make more accounts and vote all night everyone!!! Mark D. will definitely get sympathy votes and will not be in bottom 3. Kelly,Donny,Mya are very popular. Aaron has the jive which I can see being his dance, while Joanna has rhumba which is very difficult. Even with a perfect dance, they could easily end up in bottom 3 in this bunch. I don’t mean to be negative,just realistic. The KO dance is VERY SCARY to me!! One small stumble or mistake in it and Derek and Jo will go home, even against Michael. The judges are only judging the one dance, and with one misstep, a whole season of work is down the drain. I do not want them in the KO Dance,it’s way too scary for me.
And I really don’t want Derek eliminated the night he performs with BHB.It would overshadow the performance Derek is so excited about, and would totally suck for him!! VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
