  • I'd like to see David Alan Grier at least in the top three. He awas pretty smooth out there Monday night even though the judges did not recognize it. Go David!

  • I am most excited to see Nancy O'Dell on DWTS, but I guess I will have to watch Access Hollywood and DWTS to see her! It is sad that The Insider refuses to discuss her being on the show.

  • I think Wozniak will be first to go; if not, that lady from A***** H******** (afraid to say the show's name here because they're ET's competitor). But Denise or Jewel will win it all.
