I want to strangle those judges! (Okay, not Aurelia...) Seriously, could they at least get the names of the acts right and stop calling them events? Rahhhhh, it's maddening! There are plenty of funny, crazy, smart-assed actual CIRCUS performers out there who would love to judge that show (ahem...right here). Also, I wonder if this is going to feed the trend of people thinking they can become professionals in six months? Please, no.

Sigh....i agree with Jay Leno this show is a P.O,S ! ALSO IT'S A SHAME FOR OUR BUSINESS ..

You are providing a essential element to the presentation of judges. It is so easy to Monday morning quarter back. I thought you handled Mr. What's his name (Sexy Man) very well and didn't trip on his over sensitivity taking an honest response. Part of the circus is taking the critique, making another attempt and knowing when to bow out with grace. But, its all part of the show. The "tension" between judges, performers, etc. Remember, be who you are...everyone else is already taken. May you be too blessed to be stressed, Adaline

Reading the comments about celebrity circus I can see everyones point of view. The judges are not what we as circus performers would prefer on the other hand they need diversity to keep the show interesting. Personaly I would have thought Bello would have made an exellant choice just for his hair alone. Louie is a character and very flambouant and that is what the show needs. Just watch Mary on so you think you can dance and you will see what I mean. Mary of course knows her stuff and Louie dosen't. There lies the difference. I don't know who choose the acts that the stars should attempt, there are so many that I would think that none of them should have to be repeated as I see is being done. Its not easy to execute the routines that professional performers do every day. I give credit to all of the stars, it takes a lot of strength to acheve even one of the tricks that they have accomplished. I could just see me trying to act on the silver screen. I'd fumble my way through my lines. Its good that the public is able to see what it takes to be a circus performer. Its not all glamor and glitz. Its a lot of blood sweat and tears. Again I give them credit. It isn't easy to be criticized after working so hard and doing your best, but thats part of the show. They are not circus performers but they are performers and they are giving their all. What do these stars get for doing this any way? I certainly wouldn't risk broken bones just for the glory. All in all the show IS entertaining, thats why we all keep tuning it in. Looking forward to next week. Penny

I'm with you on that one, Kari! Bring back Circus of the Stars and do it right!

I finally caught the show last night, I was very impressed with how far they have gone in just 4 days. Wee Man is wonderful and has the spirit. I got the feeling that Antonio Sabato was really affraid of the wheel, it was not enjoyable at all to watch. His comments to Aurelia Cats made me feel he disrespected circus people in general. He obviously has never watched the attention to detail that she puts into her acts. Who are those other judges?

I don't understand what you are saying here Aureila? I was born and raised in the circus and I have worked the last 15 years in the Tv & Film industry. In my life, I have seen every type of circus act performed. I totally understand editing. I know this show is edited, scripted and contrived and that's ok. These types of shows always are. The traditional circus and true circus families are a dying breed.

Totally agree with you Heidi! I have been in California for 15 years. I only know one or two of the "trainer" on this show. I have no idea who they are....most likely ex cirque performers.

I don't know if any of the stars ever see the comments that we put on here, But if they do i would like to say WEEMAN you Kicked ass if i was the Judge i would gave you an 11 Hats off to you. as for Stacey I am sorry That Aurelia did not give you a better number i don't know if she has ever dune cradle, but she should not have said that you depended to much on your partner, DUUUUUH if you did not have one it would have Bean a trapeze act , So hats of to you to Stacey keep up the great work and don't forget to have FUN.ON to Antonio, for only having 4 days i think you did very well, yes you did the same trick 3 times but no one gave you Props for your headstand on the top of the wheel! so hats of to you And good job on standing your ground with aurelia. Now on to Christopher, i have watched the show from day 1 and i think that he was the one that truly loved what he was doing He always looked like he was having fun, even with a broken arm. so to you i say that we will miss you. Last but not lest Rachael. good job with Duwady's Act. So to all the STARS on the show i thank you.

I have a question, I listened very carefully last night to hear what the prize for winning the competition is and I did not hear what it was. Can anyone tell me???
