What a bloated results show. I watched American Idol (on DVR, fast forwarding through the commercials), and switched over at 9:25 to find I hadn’t missed a damn thing at Dancing with the Stars.

The bottom two couples were finally revealed: Paulina & Alec, and Shandi & Brian. (Loved the genuinely surprised look on Billy Ray’s face when they told him he was safe.)

and, the couple leaving us tonight: Paulina and Alec! It was a mercy killing, folks…I only wish we could have thinned the herd by three or four couples tonight.
