Well first of all I need to say once again...I hate the judge with the little dog on her lap. She needs to go. She is above all, worse than simon cowell as far as judging goes. The previews for next week where she tells the british lady to get over herself...Come on!! She needs to take a look in the mirror, she needs to get over herself before she tells anyone that.
Well, I can't believe that Laura is really like that. First of all, I feel like it was the judges fault for even asking "who" the person was whose dogs was yelping because that was contributing to her bad mouthing the other dog and second of all, it caused drama between everyone there. I always thought laura seemed nice and down to earth but was it just I or did she want to push the blaim on bella scarlet?!? I also notice at the very end when she was voted out how she said "Travis" and his name. Kind of like in a screw you attitude for his standing up for Bella Scarlet. Your true personallity comes out in the end, and she showed hers tonight.
With that, I agree with what Travis said. Bella is very sensitive and I doubt she would hurt her dog. I could see that when Travis said what he said, it ticked laura off. Hey, she shouldn't stay mad at him for too long. He seems like he would be a good man to her, and honesty is a quality in him that I like and most guys don't have. So, she might of blown any relationship with Travis she had down the drain. So far, he seems like he is a nice sensable guy and very likeable and I would love to be his friend. Maybe, he is putting on airs? I don't know but we will have to see as the show continues.
I loved travis painting and I never would of guessed he was scared of commitment. He don't seem like the type but I guess we all have our flaws. I am happy to see that Leroy won the best in show this week, that was a great painting and that was really true how she portrayed the good and the bad things in her dog.
OMG Star got the treat in 8 seconds?!? Amazing!! Just amazing. I feel like he should win Greatest American dog all together. I use to be torn between Presley and Star but I think this honor does go to Star.
Well, to be honest I thought that Andrew and Lori's painting was very.....fake. It didn't look like a dog did it but she did it herself. JD, he is full of himself and how he lied to the judges in plain view about the words being the way he wanted. I am happy with this weeks bottom 3 and who went home.
Allan, I do want to comment you back to your thoughts on Star & Bills painting. I thought you were incorrect and I didn't feel like that was predictable. I thought it was a good painting and just because the dogs name is "Star" doesn't mean shouldn't of included stars or a galxey in it. My dogs name is "STAR" and he is the 'STAR' of my life and to express our connection I would of used stars. So what you are telling me is that if Stars name was say Dotty, I could of used stars then? It wouldnt of been less predictable? Star is Bills world, world, planets, stars matched perfectly. That really don't make any sense at all what you are trying to say. You were told to portay your relationship, and so what it happened to be the dogs name that portayed how Bill felt about his dog. I am glad that he wasn't in the bottom 3, so I won't ramble on about it, I just wanted to point that out real quick.
I would like to suggest next season, the judges get to see what goes on at the place and challenges so that maybe their choices for the dog to go home, is based more on how they are then how they preform at the challenge. Get to see who is putting on airs and who is being themselves.
That is my thoughts for this week.
Cowgirls don't cry, ride baby ride lessons of life are gonna show you in time soon enough your gonna know why its gona hurt every now and then if you fall get back on, cowgirls don't cry She didn't let him see her cry, She didnt let him see her fall apart Cowgirls don't cry, ride baby ride - Brooks N Dunn Feat Reba

I just want to say I am happy with who went home! I thought dog painting was a cute idea I should do that with my dogs and kids!! I also liked the food challenge it makes me wonder how my dogs would do. I have this feeling that belle would do what andrew did, just sit by my feet and wait for me to go with her!

My only comment for last night’s episode is, Lori sold out David to the judges and they got upset...Lauran says "another person" and the judge asks "who" which caused Laura to have to say the person’s name which I consider "selling out" but in this case, it was the judges fault for asking. If they wanted to know "who" it was they should have asked in private after they choose who went home.

I would like your opinion as a professional regarding Bella Starlet and Beth Joy's pushing her to do something with her front paws. It did not appear Bella Starlet was in any pain or any discomfort other than the initial yelping and the result met the criteria of the challenge. Thanks for your feedback.

| It's difficult to know what was actually said, simply because of the editing process. But to the viewer it seems the judges are being harder on the contestants than necessary, especially in the last three challenges. Are you taking into account the fact that these people are not necessarily photographers, dancers, or painters? These skills/talents take years to cultivate even if you have the talent, and comments like "I've seen so many pictures of dogs jumping" or "your choreography wasn't that difficult" or "I think you should have been more creative" seem very harsh for people who may not be very creative in that way. Everyone is different. Is it being taken into account that they aren't professionals, so they probably won't have the best picture/dance routine/painting?
