LOL to Derek and “The Sprinkler”!!!!!
Sherri is starting to annoy me
Vouge, You weren’t kidding when you said you had lots of goodies for us today. Thanks a million!
Oops, Vogue! Got so excited my fingers went spastic on your name π
Love that we got to see more of Jack and Anna. Arm movements maybe a tad stiff, but overall he’s lookin’ good!
Roshon definitely knows how to move his body, but I think he needs to commit to being part of a team instead of a solo performer.
Maria and Derek are so fun to watch. I like her arms. Maybe she needs to get a little more solid on her feet.
Love all the tweets and other assorted thoughts. Everyone seems to be working hard and committed to doing well. Only a week to go…I can’t wait!!!
So I typed in a comment but my internet went out (Darn wind) so here we go:
1) Okay, I’ll be honest. I am EXTREMELY nervous about Maria and Derek. IMO, it doesn’t look like she’s moving too much. He is moving around her. I’ll take a second look, of course, it could be my unnecessary paranoia talking.
2) Roshon looks like he’ll be good but annoying Ala Sherri Shepherd. It’ll be a toss up between those two who will annoy America more.
3) Gladys, love her to death. My first concert was actually a Gladys Knight Concert ( I was about 10 years old) and she was a VOCALIST!!! Anyway, I can’t wait to see her do her thing, I’m sure she’ll have the fans on her side for some time.
4) Jack is okay to me. Nothing mind blowing. Then again, the men never seem to impress me π . But Anna is a gem and I think she has learned a lot from her partnership with Evan sow we’ll see.
ONE WEEK AWAY!!!! Cannot wait!!
Okay, can I explain the “sow” I was typing in “so we’ll see” but I made a typing error and pressed the backspace button and neglected to see that I wrote “sow”. I am SO not that bad of a writer, I promise!!! How embarrassing…
LOL! That’s ok!! π I can’t wait too. Loving everyone’s thoughts on everything. This is going to be such a fun season!
Thanks for the all the fun videos!
From the looks of things Maria and Jack are both doing well but will need to relax into their movement a lot more. That’s where confidence and experience come in handy. We’ll see who can pull it off.
LOL!! Derek is hilarious …and i have to admit…i didn’t think the sprinkler could look hot…until he did it… π
#vin – Sherri annoyed me from day – 120 since she is practicing with her pro..
#Nathan – Roshon..i have to be honest…i expected a little more..he might be a good dancer…but not a great ballroom dancer…his footwork seems sloppy…kind of. and he seems a little too… “elastic” π for the foxtrot….we will see.
Maria..really impressed me..i was really scared when i saw the first rehearsal footage … i am starting to breath a little easier now..i think she is getting better and better…for a person that never danced before…i trust Derek’s choreo and geniality in show-casting his partner and Maria’s determination and ambition!
Gosh, I had forgotten about Martina… Oops!
I’m a little worried about Roshon and the cha-cha. Granted it was just a practice, but it didn’t look that good to me. There is still a week left, so here’s hoping for a stellar first cha-cha for him and Chelsie.
It’s funny to me how Roshon comes off as annoying to some people. I don’t feel that way but then I am a big Chelsie fan so maybe I am biased.
You’re right Elara, I will definitely keep faith in Derek’s choreography!!! Go Menough!!!
@Harriet
Roshon doesn’t come off annoying to me either, just energetic. He looked a bit “limp” (the only word i could think of) in movement when dancing with chelsie,but im gonna take into account that they prob weren’t going full speed, because he looked great in his solo part.
Same thing for Maria…she looked a little stiff, but hopefully derek can loosen her up a bit before Monday.
Everyone looked pretty good though, I’m excited!
Wow!!! Lovin jack’s frame and his musicality in that foxtrot.He’s glidin smooth!
Maria looks ok, but i don’t think cha cha cha is Derek’s forte, so will wait for the other dances before i decide. She got great lines though. Derek’s not letting go of her again much, tells me her hip action may not be that great? But we will see.
Hmmm…Roshon looks unsteady to me; Jack better than I thought; and did I miss video of Karina & Gavin as well as Gladys & Tristan? I think they are the only to couples that I have not seen video of (just stills).
# Belski – ok…we have to agree to disagree…you must forgive me if i doubt that Derek worst is other’s best…but i think, and i hope to see that in the post that Courtney is preparing with the top 10 best cha cha’s , that Derek choreographed in fact 2 of the best cha cha ‘ s i saw on the show..the one with Jennifer Grey that Bruno called “a luminous, vibrant, sexy cha cha cha” and my personal favorite , the Purple Kiss Extravaganza with Nicole Scherzinger week 9 season 10!!
and because i was in a hurry to write the response..i have to mention that i forgot the dot here ..so what i wanted to say was.. “you must forgive me if i doubt that. Derek worst is otherβs best” .. so you all can understand what i meant…sorry for that! π
Maria & Derek are looking good! Such a hot pairing. LOL, Maria calling out Donald Driver. They seem to have a fun relationship too.
One more week to show time.

I know what great chacha is Elara.Pardon me but it’s my favorite dancing growing up together w jive, tangos, and waltz. Not to be mean and no pun intended, but of course rankings here is a bit bias. Derek is magnificent, but i don’t think the cha cha cha is one of his strongest dances. Also thinks his jive is not at par as his best dances. Derek definitely owns the pasos and tangos, and love his balrooms.
I have to give the cha cha cha and samba to Cheryl. I believe the best cha cha cha on the show belongs to Gilles and Emmitt’s semi. Cheryl’s strongest are usually the sexy ones and flirty.
Karina imo is the best jive choreographer.
Kym is the best choreographer to bring out her partner’s personality.
These are my top 4 best choreographers and freestylers as well. JMO π
I forgot….Mark is great too.I think he is the best ballroom choreographer.Love his outside the box choreos too.
@Belski: Couldn’t agree with you more re: Mark’s choreography!
My all time favorite is the jive he did with Chelsie – I realize and agree there was very little jive in that program, but my gosh that was amazing creativity on his part. So nice to see it again last Saturday. What is your favorite?
I think fans spoke volumes about MB’s “outside the box” choreography when the judges had to “hand” MB & CK the WTA 15pt cha cha cha—they obviously weren’t getting fan votes—even Mark’s 30 all-night long power voters couldn’t save them. π
