Lance and Lacey were the most skilled couple, in my opinion. Granted, I have watched a grand total of 2 episodes of this show, and last night was one of them LOL.....

Joey Fatone, for one. And whether a figure skater like Kristi Yamaguchi had an unfair advantage because of the skills it requires. But once they're in the competition, the judging should be fair across the board. The ringer issue has come up before with "DWTS." Joey Fatone, for one.

But they did look the best to me.

And, as I said in Monday's post, I don't think Lance and Lacey closed the deal with their performance. But they were also forced to follow all that "best ever" nonsense about Brooke & Derek, and were still better than Warren & Kym.

It was well executed, but like you, I thought it was a foregone conclusion while watching them that they would win. I think Lance & Lacey could've chosen better music and clothing--it was kind of bland and he's not that good a break-dancer. It was kind of a letdown compared to last week's performance. Warren was pretty impressive--he put it all out there--his personality & charm. I don't think Brooke's dance was even that traditional–it was a combination of Broadway "razzle-dazzle" and striptease.
