DWTS 5/9-10 Ralph kneeds a good dance

[Aceon6]

Opening a thread for tonite. Apparently, Ralph's knee finally went. We'll see tonite if he's a go.

Updated with the correct info - He has a ruptured cyst in the back of his knee and wasn't able to rehearse much.

I've already forgotten who some of the early contestants were.

I like Kirstie's hair. Is Ralph wearing eye makeup?

[Aceon6]

Ralph looks drugged up. Kirstie looks fantastic.

[soxxy]

Oh, please, Mark, stop being a jerk.

[rfisher]

Has Mark been reading FSU? He's going to make Chelsea the focus huh.

Has Mark been reading FSU? He's going to make Chelsea the focus huh.

Yeah.

[Garden Kitty]

There's really no reason Chelsea should bug me - she's certainly no Kendra and she seems sweet. But there's something about her that bugs me.

[shan]

I didn't think that was worth 2 10s....

[soxxy]

Watch Hines get 11's.

[marbri]

It was hard to find the waltz through the lyrical. She's seems nice enough but I don't like his cockiness.

[Matryeshka]

Good for Chelsea for not only telling Mark to essentially stop being a whiny child, but the way she told him--calmly and thoughtfully. I was not that fond of Chelsea at the beginning and found her forgettable, but she's really grown on me.

ITA with Len's assessment of their dance--too much emphasis on the story, but really well danced.

[sap5]

I think I just saw Alex and Maia Shibutani in the audience. Did anyone else see them?

[rfisher]

Kym's dress moves so pretty.

[Garden Kitty]

Hines is my favorite of the remaining contenders, but that seemed a little too thought out.
