Paul, your lovely Dancing Stars reminds me of Whirlwind's structure which I like very much. D.S. colours are very crisp and eye catching. I really like it a lot. BTW...My daughter has DITR and has had it for 3yrs now. It wasn't growing where she had it (too much shade IMO) so I suggested moving it this spring where it would get a few hours of morning sun and give it a little more vigour. I was happy to hear its doing much better now in its new location but I haven't seen it lately. I must check its growth for curiosity's sake and take a pic.

I think this looks like a great line up! Marlee Matlin (Academy Award-winning actress who is almost completely deaf....Children of a Lesser God, etc) Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller fame, also hosted gameshow "Identity") Marissa Winokur (Tony Award-winning actress known for her performance as Tracy Turnblad in the highly successful Broadway musical adaptation of John Waters' film Hairspray) Adam Carolla (comedian, comedy writer, radio personality, television personality and actor) Kristi Yamaguchi (figure skater and the 1992 Olympic Champion in women's singles) Cristián de la Fuente (Chilean television actor who has gone on to make a name for himself in U.S. film and television) Monica Seles (former World No. 1 professional tennis player) Mario (R&B and pop singer) Steve Guttenberg (film and television actor, became known during the 1980s, after a series of starring roles in major Hollywood films, including Cocoon, Three Men and a Baby, Police Academy, and Short Circuit) Jason Taylor (NFL's first active player to be a participant) Shannon Elizabeth (actress, poker player, and former fashion model, came to prominence in the 1999 comedy film American Pie) Priscilla Presley (duh ;-)

I'm sorry she's ill (I'm still skeptical), but I think Tamar is an arrogant, self serving, show off. I won't miss her. I've watched most of the DWTS seasons and I don't remember disliking anyone as much as I dislike her

I did watch it Sue. I thought that Bindi and Carlos did fantastic and I was so surprised how much Carlos has improved. I felt for the Back Street boy who messed up his first dance. Alex the hero was just so so in my book but he does give it his all. I did feel bad for Val when his partner had to be hospitalized again. Wishing her well. I think the winner will probably be Bindi as her partner Derek does such a good job with his coaching of his partners. I guess next week will tell.
