I can't seem to be able to actually vote! My daughters are both Chinese Americans and are thrilled to see Kristi and I am thrilled too. I've tried the numbers above...last night I got the "the voting in your area is closed!" message and I can't get the "vote online" interface to load on the ABC site. Can someone please help me, a well meaning voting dim bulb? thank you! Judy Ok – I’m new to this reality show voting thing but I’m not extremely stupid…or am I?

In any case, I think that her experience of working with a partner is a very useful one in this competition. When I started learning salsa, one of the hardest things to get used to is working with a partner and having to lead. Kristi was already used to working with a partner to music - something the Apolo Ohno as a speed skater didn't have.

I always liked Kristi - great ice skater and quite cute, IMHO!
