She is doing a great job just eighteen months after breaking her back!!!! There is very little difference in skill levels among the remaining contestants this season, with the exception of those who have had prior dance training and/or dance experience. It is just a matter of who you like as to how comments are posted. If you check the Message Board at the DWTS ABC site, you will find some of the most unbelievably mean, ugly, rude, evil comments that I think I have ever read! A lot of posters have not learned that one can support their favorite couple on this REALITY show without denigrating all the other couples. This show is NOT an actual official Ballroom/Latin dance competition. It is a very pleasant reality show for people who love dancing. It's fun to see people (celebrities) who are familiar to you learning to dance and trying to improve each week. I personally love the show because I have my favorite couple to pull for, but I don't put the others down. No celebrity who has been on the show will ever be competing in an actual dance competition (without years & years of training !!!) so it should stay entertaining and lighthearted. This season, the contestants have been exceptionally good with learning to dance, so it's sad to me when any one of them leaves. However, that is the premise of the show with the competitors dwindling down each week. Fans will NEVER agree on who should go and who should stay. It's just a matter of personal taste like everything else. There will be days of 'fighting' on the boards after each couple's exit. We should all look for the positives. I thought Jaleel was as good a dancer most weeks as anyone else and it is sad to see him go. But he was very gracious and was very encouraging to young Roshon and that is the way it should be. My favorite couple is still on the show and I will be very sad when leave also. The descriptions of Melissa’s dancing (in the above posts) are not at all the way her fans & others see it.

I loved her in Little House on the Prairie but then she grew up. She is one of the most awkward contestants I have ever seen with her legs always flailing where they should not and not to mention missing her steps, plus always looking like she's got to go to the restroom. Her plastic face is scary and very unappealing. Hopefully she'll be gone next week. Sorry, but Melissa Gilbert should’ve been the one to go last night.
