DWTS Season 14, Week 1 – Who’s Dancing What…and when?
Well, it’s that time of year once again, folks – time to strap on your sequined spats, grab a beer or a glass of wine (hard liquor if you’re a Val fan), and nitpick DWTS to death and then some.
As the biggest nit picker of them all, I like to list out who’s dancing what dance. If I find out, I will add their dance order (which coincides with their voting number on the first night, most of the time) and their song. Can’t guarantee the songs or the numbers, but most couples do manage to leak that phone number…well, any time now. I believe camera blocking is Sunday, at least in the first part of the season.
Sherri’s song is from one of their rehearsal videos – I’m assuming it’s correct. For now. And not at ALL cliche.
UPDATE 1: Until I hear differently, I am assuming that the phone number coincides with dance order. That is the way it usually works the first week. HOWEVER, be prepared for last minute changes tomorrow during dress rehearsal.
UPDATE 2: Derek is making me look like a freakin’ genius. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Read the comments.
UPDATE 3: Geez, I go for a walk and all hell breaks loose.
UPDATE 4: Jaleel going last is so shocking. Only not.
UPDATE 5: Ruh-roh…Gavin could be in trouble. 4th is one of the “running order positions of doom”.
-Court-
UPDATE 6: Pretty much what we expected. Big ratings draws towards the end of the show…debateable fanbases towards the beginning of the show. Now let’s see if anything changes during the course of the day

I’ve heard lots of people say that they think those with the Foxtrot are those likely to be in trouble. I will add that they are the ones likely to be in trouble, but not because of the foxtrot. Because of the JIVE they have to do in week 2.
Give me a quickstep any day. At least you do that one in hold a good bit. Anywho, my early prediction is trouble for Gavin DeGraw. Why? I keep forgetting he’s in the dang competition! I was forgetting about William a lot too, but since Sally pointed out that he has a teeny tiny peanut head – which rightfully made me giggle hysterically – I will likely remember him from here on out.








Well, whatever it takes to remember William is all that matters! lollll
Can’t wait can’t wait!!!
I am already worried about Gavin, Katherine and possibly (ugh! I hate to utter this name but Martina), the foxtrot is so technical and graceful, the foxtrotters may be in more jeopardy. No worries for Jaleel, I think he will fly through. Yay!
And I might add, William’s Cha Cha should play right into who he is. Perfect dance to start the show for him. Can’t wait for to see who will steal the show, and possibly become my new favorite..
Used it right away, ‘eh??????
Ahahahahaha!
Yeah I would have to agree that those with the foxtrot/jive combo could be in trouble besides Jaleel.
It’s DWTS eve and all throughout the land, fans were dusting off their ABC accounts and warming up their voting fingers! LOL
I am so excited for tomorrow! Will you be updating the info as we find out more on who’s dancing when?
I was thinking between Martina and Gavin on who would be the first to go and they both do have the Foxtrot. Many may say that Gavin will be the first to go but what about his big fanbase and his touring? I mean, while he’s touring, he may be promoting DWTS at the same time which could help him. But then maybe not. Macy and Mario B were also touring at the same time, I believe and it certainly didn’t help Macy a bit. Mario did well but I think at one week, it was so hectic and he got eliminated. I also believe, if I’m not wrong, Sabrina was also real busy with something that week she was eliminated (when she shouldn’t have been!).
I kinda think giving team Sherval “Sherry by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons” is a good idea. If I ahd to guess any music for the pthers I’m going to say that somehow William and Cheryl will get smething really fun like “International Love” or “Glad You Came” by the Wanted. Something current and fun.
Can’t wait for the season to start !! I agree its gonna be harder for the ones doing Foxtrot and Jive (still shaking my head at this week 2 dance…) I think Gavin and Martina might be in trouble already and I hope Katherine can stand out!
I bet Gladys will go last as she is the most famous celeb
Lastly, I know they just used it before but Derek and Maria would be a great fit for “I Like How It Feels” by Enrique Iglesias.
@Manny: I was thinking they would save Gladys for last too but I think that the show might put Sherri and Val at the end too since she is probably the second most well known celeb this season.
Heidi:
I am gonna guess that the dances seem to be following in as the same sequence as last spring, yes?
Foxtrot is a killer for week 1 and the jive for second week, god!
@vin yeah good point, also maybe with all the controversy around the “cheat”, anything for the ratings
Sandy, the cha cha might play to William’s strength, but will the quickstep?? That counts in the first elimination as well. Lucky for him he doesn’t have the jive.
I think some are overestimating Sherri’s fame. She’s on a daytime talk show. If she goes last it will likely be because she’s very good or because of the cheating scandal. But I would lay money on Gladys going last with Sherri second to last. I THINK that Derek and Maria will go first only because every other season Derek has had Cha Cha as his first dance, he’s gone first in the dance order (going by recall only – haven’t looked it up lately). Don’t quite know what that means, but there you have it.
I will predict, right now, that the Jive will be the death of someone. Not literally, of course.
I don’t know what it is you’re asking me, Margaret. The dances aren’t in order in my post and as for sequence? I think that’s also determined by WHO is dancing.
I had to, Sally.
I know you didn’t say “teeny tiny peanut head” exactly, but you started me down the road.
Tristan and Gladys are going to be the ones who will ignite the dance floor tomorrow night. You have the best dancing with the best and that will be explosive!
Woo Hoo! Is it tomorrow yet LOL. I really do like all of these teams, but do think Gavin is on the bubble for first elimination. I just don’t think he’s well known enough in the voting demographic, and I don’t think his dancing is going to be memorable. I’m so rooting for Martina… tomorrow night will tell us so much about her staying power. Fingers crossed she can “lose herself” in the dance, and toes crossed for Tony to design a well crafted routine. Gladys is gonna rock the Cha Cha, and Tristan is not gonna be able to keep his tongue in his mouth
No Heidi I meant as far as foxtrot and cha cha cha first week. second week it was foxtrot and jive.
Talking about last spring. Wonder if its going to follow the same type of dances each week as last year. Not talking about the couples dance order, no.
My “homage” to this season’s cast, for all of you who love a little kitch with their Sunday brunch
Ooh, I bet you’re wondering how I knew
’bout your plans to make it through
A gig like nothing that you knew before
Between the twelve of you, who’ll prove that they want it more
It was no surprise I must say
When I saw Sherri Shepherd’s name
Don’t you know I heard it through the grapevine
That Martina’s gonna dance live
Baby, ooh ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
That Maria and Melissa move fine
Oh yes they do. Oh yes they do.
I bet that Jack is prepared to prance
and Jaleel will put on Urkel’s pants
Donald’s drive could take the lead, you see
Roshon’s wild with energy
We’ll just have to see for ourselves
who will waltz past everyone else
Don’t you know, I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer ’til it’s prime time
Oh no it’s not. Oh no it’s not.
Gladys Knight is in the house to dance
William’s looks could spark a hot romance
But I just can’t help but be confused
Why is Katherine not making news
And what if Gavin can’t let go
of his inhibitions before the show
oh no
I heard it through the grapevine
all the teams are having fun times baby
ooh ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
that they’re just about, just about, just about to lose their minds
oh yes they are
{F A D E}
not long to wait now, baby
the dancing starts anew
I heard it through the VogueLine
and I know you did too
I don’t know what I’m more excited about: the actual dancing or the Cheesecake Awards that follow!
If Sherri is the second most well known celeb this season then this country (and Canada) are in trouble cuz she shouldn’t be! Melissa, Martina .. shouldn’t they outrank Sherri?
I’d prefer a glass of wine, but yes, I just might have to get the hard liquor out. We’ll see how it goes. Not sure Brooke will be able to keep control in this case.
I’m really looking forward to Gladys and Tristan too. Well I’m looking forward to everyone. I hope Derek and Maria don’t get forgotten if they do go first. Don’t they usually put the “not so great” pairs at the beginning or is that more like in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th positions???
I wonder if they will dance in the order they were introduced on GMA?
Impressive Linde! Love it!
I agree that it doesn’t look good for Gavin… He’s not in the core DWTS demographic, he’s splitting time with touring, and he drew a craptastic opening sequence of dances in Foxtrot and Jive. At least Karina can choreograph an outstanding Foxtrot – I still remember Ralph’s, and if I recall, that was a season opener, too… but unless Gavin turns out to have the natural ability a-la Ralph, I think we’ll probably be waving bye-bye to him & his hat in a couple of weeks.
Positions 2, 3 and 4 are the danger zones, Meggie. Going first usually means they want to start with a bang or something to keep people tuned in. You want your favorite to go either first, at or near the top of the second hour, or in the last three dances. So, that should be 1, 6 or 7, or 10, 11, or 12. It won’t be as important tomorrow night as it will be next monday, right before the elimination.
People better vote like hell tomorrow night, regardless.
LOL Linde!! Outstanding! I always look forward to your homages every Season and you topped yourself! Good job!!!
Adding: WORD Heidi about voting!!
The difference between this season and Ralph’s season, though, is that there seems to be a lot more bigger names and talent on this season. In his season, Ralph WAS one of the bigger names. Gavin can’t really say that.
Oh, I agree that Ralph was a big name, and this is different. My comment was only that Karina is quite capable of doing a flashy, showy, “Broadway-type” Foxtrot. As opposed to, say, Lacey…
I agree that Gladys will probably go last tomorrow night as she is probably the best known celebrity.
Going first to open the show with a bang? Is that what “World Peace” did last fall?
@Meggie, totally agree about Cheesecake – almost better then the actual shows.
Season 11 had the jive week two, right? I remember that it almost killed Jennifer.
And on #’s, Derek’s been 411 for the last two seasons that he danced. I wonder if he’ll get it for a third time…
@SueB, did you mean 4th for Derek? Not sure what 411 means. Sorry!
Yeah, not sure why World Peace got the starting position last season. Maybe to reel in the basketball fans????
The good thing about the initial dances is that the couples can always choose to redo it should they last long enough in the competiton. I’ve always liked the couples that do this over the ones that choose to redo a dance that they got perfect or near perfect scores on.
Has there ever been a season that the week the couples choose their dance occur earlier than the semi-finals/finals?
@Meggie – The phone numbers are 1-800-VOTE-4xx. The last two seasons he danced, Derek’s number has been 11. Other than 911, 411 (directory info) is probably the most memorable number.
@Sally – I agree, Karina seems to mostly pull off a quite stellar Foxtrot, i.e., Ralph and JR, I don’t expect anything less this time. We shall see if Gavin can live up to the challenge.
@Meggie – LOL, I agree about Sherri. In opinion she shouldn’t be 2nd most known, she should be 2nd one voted off the island…. All in all, I am literally counting down the hours until the show starts.
Yes, Winter, Meta World Peace would qualify. I never said they had to be good dancers.
Only enough to keep people tuned in.
Bring on Monday night! Can’t wait to see my favorites dance, with that being said, would like to wish Martina, Sherri, Jaleel and Gladys a wonderful season 14!
They don’t always get to re-do them. In season 9 I believe they only showed clips in 8 pm show of the couples favorites, they didn’t re-dance them. All the seasons after that, the favorite was danced on the second night of the finale. In seasons 4 through 7, it was the second night of the finale. Before season 4, don’t know.
Looks to me like you pretty much have to make the finals in order to have a chance to re-dance anything competitively.
Ah, the phone number for Derek! Thanks @SueB. I vote online so that went right over me!
I don’t get people saying Gavin doesn’t for the DWTS demo. His music is pretty adult contemporary and he is very popular with women. He will probably be the weakest male dancer but I think he will survive the first week.
Meggie,
I’m sure SueB means he and his partners danced 11th Season 11 & Season 13, which is correct.
I don’t think the Cha, Cha will be the first dance. I think a Foxtrot will be first. If I remember correctly, in S12, Mark/Chelsea danced the Foxtrot and were first. I have a feeling they may repeat that pattern again.
I hope all the couples get great songs to dance to on their first out the gate!
Let’s go S14~~~ Go Maria & Derek!
Good Luck to all the couples!!
Linde, wonderful! I’d love to see your homage performed for the opening number by the musical guest on the first Tuesday night show – or better yet, by Gladys herself
Sorry, didn’t see you answered already answered the question.
I think this will be a great season.
@Andrea – the core demographic for DWTS is older women – outside of that most-sought-after 18-39 set. Those are the people most likely to vote. The reason I say Gavin is outside that demo is that I’m a part of the “older set”, and I & my friends hadn’t heard of Gavin… granted, that is anecdotal at best, but I figure if me & my girlfriends haven’t heard of someone before, that can’t be a good thing.
Melissa and Maks will be dancing 7th
Sally #43 – ditto your anecdotal evidence for Gavin – nobody here in our woman-of-a-certain age group in SoCal had a clue about him either
Gavin isn’t on the show by himself. He is on with the show with a large number of people who are more popular within the DWTS demo than he is. And even those who aren’t as popular in the demo (Maria, Katherine, William) have other things going for them, like professional partner, personality and lack of a job that takes them out of LA during the show.
I just wanna thank Heidi for this post and i’ve enjoyed reading all of the comments so much! Linde, you have a true talent for lyric writing.
I, like alot of you guys, fear for Gavin. Yes, he is a popular singer and has some great new songs out ( Like Not Over You ) and I deffinantly wouldn’t call him a has been but he just, for one reason or the other, fades into the woodwork and he has alot to live up to in being Karina’s partner, I still picture her with JR and Gavin seems like an awesome guy but he aint no JR, but i don’t think many of us are. I so wish him and Karina the best, though, I really do, it’s just while he is current there are other current names that have more things going for the them like Maria: Great personailty and laugh
, Works in LA, is on TV everyday, plus she’s dancing with D Hough, Katherine: While not as commonly known as Gladys or maybe even Gavin in the US, from an international succes standpoint, Katherine is one the biggest names they’ve had on this show yet just go look on wiki and see her accomplishments, she performed for the Queen people, plus shes very Cuuuuuuute and has some experience, Sherri: On TV everyday, has some um, prior ” help ”
, HUGE personality, and ABC is pimping the heck out of her. Then you have Roshon who probably has the most prior dancing and performance experience of anybody, Donald who has natural abililty and atheletism, plus the cheeseheads, Jack who is a soap legend and will likely do well with the middle-aged woman, and William who i’m going to go out on a limb and say will be about as close to a second Gilles as this show will get. And that just leaves the legends: Melissa, Jaleel, Martina, and Gladys…All of which spells trouble for Gavin. Best of luck to all though!!
Looks like Derek is going first.
@Marlene, and we know this how???
He just published his voting number. 1-800-868-3401
and I’ve been watching season 12 on GSN all afternoon, which is putting me nicely in the mood for tomorrow night!
If the order is according to the phone numbers, like Maria and Derek have 3401 in the phone numbers, then Maria and Derek would be first but not sure if that’s the case this season. It isn’t the case every season. Anyway, Derek tweeted their phone numbers.
http://twitter.com/#!/derekhough/status/181467742954721282
lol Marlene we posted at the same time!
True. But I believe Hedi has put Maks in 7th based on his phone number, so I did that same. I guess we’ll see.
Sorry, Heidi. I did NOT meant to misspell your name!
And I thought I was answering you! lol, Liz
LOL Zach! Loves your post too!!!
Gladys ISN’T going to be dancing last…..
She and Tristan are dancing the cha cha cha, as are Melissa/Maks and Maria/Derek. Those 2 pairs are dancing seventh and first, respectively, so the pairs dancing cha cha cha will have the odd number positions, and the pairs dancing foxtrot will have the even number positions. And since there are 12 couples, unless they move people around, they will be ending with a foxtrot. So, which pair dancing foxtrot has created the most buzz pre-season?
Well if they are indeed going first, I hope that doesn’t freak Maria out. She doesn’t really seem to have the performance gene like some of the celebs! Maybe it’s better to get it over with first though. Who knows!?
Gotta go with Jaleel and Kym, Lori!
Lori, like the dance order coinciding with the phone number, it is likely but not a sure thing. Don’t count your chickens. They have put two of the same dance back to back before and they have changed the dance order during final dress.
MOST of the time, the dance order on the first night coincides with the phone number. And most of the time they will try to alternate dances. But the former is more likely than the latter.
Actually, I think Jaleel has had little pre-season buzz compared to Gladys and Sherri. It’s not necessarily positive, the pre-season buzz. Didn’t Kate dance last the first week as well??
Why am I leaving out words?? Half asleep I guess.
@Lori If it’s going to be a foxtrot person going last, I’d give it to either Sherri or Jaleel.
Maaannn, Heidi called Maria dancing first! And Derek. Marias hot.
Heidi, Pam Anderson danced last the first week of season 10 with Kate second to last, Kate danced week 2 in the pimp spot, though. Nicole went last week three, Pam was last week 4, I believe Evan was last week 5, Pam was the last regular routine of week six followed by the Swing Dance Marathon, and thats all I can recall from that season without looking back, I was blessed with long-term memory. :0
Heidi, there you go being all psychic again with us (with Derek). lol
I adore Gavin as a musician, singer and what he does behind the scenes in his community, charitable work etc. I too am curious how his goofy dude’ness is going to translate on the dance floor. I’m hoping for a “Shock and Awe” kind of thing! *LOL* cause if that doesn’t happen my man Gavin will absolutely be on the bubble. However, y’all, don’t underestimate his fan base “no one puts “gavin” in the corner” (pun intended)
Interesting point for this Season DWTS – Karina called him – asked if he would be interested. I can’t find the interview at the moment, but he indicated he got that call a few weeks before the announcement at GMA. He discussed with his NASCAR buddies while he was in Florida…. and wa la they are partnered together. This season feels a little like the casting went right down to the wire….
The season is going to be interesting in terms of “danceability”, Personalities, and of course, our favorite pastime “Judges Scores” and the drama that will follow. Mercy, please let them have some idea how the hell to score this season!!! (I can hope can’t I!?!)
My gut tells me we are going to be somewhat surprised by who couldn’t or didn’t perform (when we thought for sure they would or could) and who did (who we though no way). It comes down to Scores + Votes and there lies the crux of the matter.
Looking forward to Season 14 with you all here at Pure and on Twitter — I don’t think I could watch DWTS and not have Pure here too! It kinda goes hand in hand
I ment
not :O. lol
Yeah whatever, Heidi!-LOL You rock!!
Rock it out Maria & Derek!!! Can’t wait to see you two dance!!!
Close enough, Zach.
Last and second to last is pretty much even.
I can’t decide who they will put last. Jaleel for being a good dancer, Gladys for being an icon, or Sherri for being most recently infamous. I don’t think the Sherri thing went that wide, plus she denied it…I’m leaning toward Gladys. If she’s NOT got a good cha cha, then I think they will go Jaleel.
But, I may have used up my psychic powers for the day with Derek.
I don’t know why people are talking crap about Gavin. Just because you don’t know him doesn’t mean he’s not “popular”. He has a HUGE fan base and is extremely talented. He is a natural performer and will do very well.
Like you said before, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a good dance – just one that everybody wants to see…
After all, didn’t Hasselhoff dance in the pimp slot?
And we all know how that turned out!
@Gavin Fan – You misunderstand me. I’m not “talking crap” about Gavin; I believe I said I’m concerned about him. And if I implied he’s not popular, then my apologies – I should have said he’s not all that popular with gals my age, who tend to vote lots & lots on DWTS. No slight of his popularity or talent intended; just one person’s opinion as to his relative popularity with the voting audience of the program he’s on.
Close enough, indeed. Heidi.
And Sally, yes, Hasselhoff did dance in the pimp spot. Then Bristol in week 2,then Rick Fox in week 3, then Audrina in week 4, and am I getting annoying yet?
Gavin fan, dial it back. No one is talking crap about Gavin and even if they were you would have to learn to deal. That’s how we roll. You can say what you want about the dancers, you don’t get to attack other people for their opinion.
Sheesh. The Derek fans reminded me that the first couple almost always gets underscored. Now I’m bummed out.
Thanks Heidi – I thought as much, but since I haven’t watched every season I didn’t know if they had maybe “switched it up” at some point.
Have they posted the “theme and dance list by week” yet? Someone over on twop thought it would be coming out either last night or sometime today.
Gavin Fan…..I’m a fan of Gavin’s music and a fan of Karina….BUT….they started out with minimal practice time and on the road most of the time. He also didn’t know much about how the show worked, so he might not be that into it (just doing it for PR for new cd). It is odd that Karina called him to ask him to do it. Hope she doesn’t regret it. I am hoping he does well. I like to see those WITH NO EXPERIENCE OR PRIOR LESSONS WHATSOEVER learn and enjoy the experience.
Heidi, Did Kristi Y dance first and get 9s one show? There’s hope
Kristi danced 9th in week 1 and got a 27. But that’s Kristi – no one comes close to that.
But, historically, they do underscore the first dance of the season.
My daughter (who LOVES Hines) said Hines danced third on season 12′s week one. Was he an exception to the dancing 3,4,5th spot? Just curious.
I meant in general…not any one person in particular. Don’t judge until he gets a chance to perform at least. Passing judgement in advance seems unreasonable to me. I think you’ve underestimated him. That’s all I’m saying.
The “dancing in the crap” spot is no more a guarantee of going home or doing badly than going last meaning you’re a great dancer or lasting to the end.
@Sheery – Hines had the whole package, dance ability, charm, and a huge following. Once he hit the dance floor I don’t think it mattered one iota what/or when he danced. He pretty much had the competition won. Just my opinion though.
Gavin Fan, Help them out by tweeting voting info for abc.com or their number when it’s released…spread the word
Gavin Fan:
I am a HUGE fan of Gavin – please believe me when I say They were/are not bashing Gavin here — if you come here your gonna see a lot of things about a lot of the pros and the celebrities, statistics, fun, opinions (everyone has one and entitled to one), sometimes a lil *sass* and *snarky* too (that too is not a bad thing) Compared to several boards — (Now those can be some shark infested GET OUT OF THE WATER kind of places) you’ll find it’s pretty great around here.
I will say this — Opinion is that — bashing isn’t tolerated by anyone – and I do kindly suggest you might want to read, digest a bit before responding – dialing it back a bit wouldn’t hurt.
Truthfully, our boy Gavin is working with a deficit – OVERALL Celebrity Popularity – many folks don’t know who he is, those of us who do, can gently, kindly, encouragingly introduce them to him
and hope he brings it all to the dance floor!
Be well —
*I joke I joke*
A Gavin fan too
A DWTS Fanatic
Can’t we all just get along?
Gavin Fan – just saw your follow up post…..
Yes, let’s see what he brings to the dance floor….
the rest of this is stastical, based on previous seasons how things tend to play out…. there is ALWAYS an exception, EXCEPTIONAL performance, celebrity, standout, “who’d a thunk” person or moment…. Maybe this season it will be Gavin
Keep rooting — watch for the post from someone of their Voting Call in # – TWEET like a madperson and spread the word. There are those, overall, who couldn’t dance for beans, but based on voting (fan base) managed to stay in longer than they should. There are those who should have been there but were voted off – because of lack of fan base. …. unfortunately its just how it works.
Gavin Fan – did you see what he is doing for #TeamBOC (Beads of Caring) it’s on YouTube – he’s carrying/wearing/adding to his throughout his journey with DWTS — powerful encouragement, music and love for children and just like him to do it.
GOOD JOB ON THE HOMAGE LINDE!
good luck Gavin..
Martina & Tony are dancing 9th !!!!
Don’t worry…Gavin fans are all over this before it’s even started. As far as dialing it back, I don’t know why that keeps being suggested. I didn’t know I dialed it up in the first place. Perhaps I could suggest the same to others. In any case, we’ll see who does what once the show starts.
I agree with Gavin Fan. All we really know about fan bases right now is based on what fans of the show are saying on the shows facebook page and the celebs twitter/facebook followers. I have seen a lot of supporters of Gavin on the DWTS facebook site. And he has over 150000 twitter followers. Pretty solid. Of course bad dancing and bad judges scoring can really set you back but I don’t thinmk Gavin will be the only bad dancer.
I have sneaking suspicion that 2 people in particular are in jeopardy for first boot and neither of them are Gavin.
Well, Maria & Derek do have some good things going for them. They look hot together, have fun personalities, great chemistry and their dancing looks pretty good too. If all comes this comes together on the dance floor, they have a great chance of getting good scores!
Fingers crossed!!!
I pretty much like all the couples and think we’re in for a fun night and great season!
Andrea, Don’t tease us like that…who are the 2 you think it’ll be ?
I’m thinking Roshon and Martina
They’re coming fast and furious now -
William and Cheryl – 8
Sherri and Val – 6
Andrea – I follow Gavin on Twitter, but they’re currently my 4th fav team – so Twitter support doesn’t necessary equal votes, just sayin’.
Does that mean Sherry ends the first hour? Melissa started the second hour? Help Heidi…
Whoa…Melissa is cha cha and so id William, right? So they are doing the same dance back to back…I’ll go with Gladys dancing last unless the dance is really not good, then I’ll go with Jaleel.
The 2 who I think are the most vulnerable?
1. Martina- Just going by her rehersal footages and Tony’s track record, she’s gonna be pretty weak IMO. Tony can make weak dancers look…terrible! She’s got just over 5000 twitter followers so soft diehard fans.
2. Sherri- The only contestant that divides fans right now. I noticed on the DWTS facebook page she has the fewest likes on her official photos. Add the cheating controversy and the fact Val does not have a huge base of support from his limited time and I think she’s vulnerable if she scores low the first 2 weeks. Heck even Shannen Doherty showed you can score high and still leave if your not well liked.
I’ll be shocked if it’s not one of these 2? For men Gavin and Jack seem to be the shakiest.
And once again we have the Chmerkovskiy brothers back to gack again! Val tweeted his number as 3406
I hope you’re wrong Andrea about Sherri and Val. Not for Sherri’s sake, but for Val’s. Maybe people will vote to keep HIM around.
If not and they are the first to go, forget about seeing Mad Maks, it will be Bloody Ballistic Maks!
Andrea – Fair enough. But before I’ve seem ‘em dance, I think the lovely and talented Courtney called it – the two most “on the bubble”, are Gavin and Katherine. Frankly, I’d be rather happy if it was Sherri, as she does get on every functional nerve I’ve got left. But I wouldn’t bet money on it…
I’m going to put this to you plainly Gavin Fan – you are being asked to dial it back because you are talking more about other posters here than you are about Gavin. You are projecting a lot of attitude. And I have very little patience for newcomers to this site coming in here and acting like none of us know what we’re talking about.
And guess what else? We are ALL “all over this before it’s even started”. You aren’t dealing with newbies here. Now lose the attitude.
Yes, sheery, Sherri appears to be ending the first hour – or close. Her or Melissa, depending on what filler they have at the beginning of the show, if any.
I’m assuming they aren’t camera blocking in order. If they are, then several celebrities need to get on the ball. Chelsie tweeted an hour ago that she was headed to blocking, but I can’t believe they would give Roshon one of the good spots. But, maybe so.
I am guessing Gladys or Jaleel will end the show.
Maria going first this week is not that bad except for the obvious low ball scores. Hopefully she will make a good impression and have a good quickstep in week 2 which seems like a better draw than the jive.
I would not be surprised if Gavin or Jack go second. Then probably Donald or Roshon followed by Katherine. I had a feeling Mara would go first. She looked good enough with Derek as her partner, good way to start the new season but leaving the bigger names for the show’s demo for the second hour.
I have a feeling that Maria is not going to get underscored but I’m not expecting 8s in the first week from Maria. its probably going to be a nice 21 for week one for her.
In fact, I don’t expect to see many 8s in the first week from this group. The question is who qill those lucky people be? My money is on Roshon and Jaleel getting at least one 8 this week.
Anna and Jack are second
…aaaaand, Donald & Peta 3rd…
I called it! Had a feeling Jack would go early. Guessing Katherine might go fourth. I can see Maria getting a six from Carrie Ann even though I thought her feet placement and lines were great for a novice. Partly because I see Carrie Ann hating pretty girls sometimes while overscoring guys. Do not know why but see judges overscoring Katherine. Not because of Mark but my gut. Maybe more because the Brit connection and she will be good enough to inflate scores to give her a buffer in case she s lacking votes. Roshon or Jaleel, I can see getting 8s. Or maybe the judges will stick to just 6-8 s in week one.
Everyone seems to be saying how evenly matched this season is dance wise. All good but no clear frontrunner.
Thanks for the updates Heidi…very exciting!!!
Just guessing, but I figure they’ll go:
Gavin will prolly go 5th.
Roshon 10th, Jaleel 11th, and Gladys in the pimp spot…
I think Tristan & Gladys go last no question, I mean they have had 2 of the same dances in a row before on the show so I bet they end with 2 Cha Cha’s if that’s the case.
Kind of worried for Derek lasting long, I like Maria but she can be annoying with that laugh & voice so I hope she calms down a bit lol
Guess what, Gavin fan, when you don’t take advice from me, you get deleted. Now, play nice or don’t play at all.
Maria’s laugh will not be the problem. If she can dance, it will be fine! Her hotness will cancel out the laugh! It’s the dancing that matters in her case, I think.
…. and so it begins (comment #112) and we haven’t even seen a dance yet! Brace yourself, Heidi!
If I had to guess the order I’m going to say it’s going to be: (the ones with the star next to them are ones that are confimed by u guys so I kinda based my predictions off of them
)
1) Maria*
2)Jack*
3) Donald*
4) Gavin
5) Katherine
6) Sherri
7) Melisa*
8) William*
9) Martina*
10) Jaleel
11)Roshon
12) Gladys
@Meggie: Speaking on behalf of most men in the country, I agree with you. Even if her laugh is annoying we will still probably vote for her.
I know, right, Meggie?? Jaysus.
Glad to have that confirmed @vin! LOL!
@ VIN
Being a roshon and chelsie fan, I would love for that to be the order…but that would leave 3 foxtrots in a row leading to the hour break.
That would probably bore the casual dance fan into changing the channel before the second hr.
I think I’m the only person that probably is excited for the foxtrots thats why I grouped a bunch of them together lol I feel like the foxtrot is a better way of seeing who is a better dancer.
@Meggie: NP lol
@vin – Oh no your not! I love the foxtrot. It’s one of my favorite dances. It looks you and I will have a spectacular evening of entertainment…
One more time – talk about the dancing. Talk about your love for Gavin/Melissa…whoever. But if all you can do is complain about mean ole me, you aren’t contributing to the conversation and you will be deleted.
I really don’t know how much plainer I can be.
Vin, Sandy, I love foxtrots too (seen too many old movies when nothing else was on the tube not to). And my very fave DWTS foxtrot is also PH’s and that would be Nicole and Derek’s
Kym just tweeted that she & Jaleel are now doing camera blocking…..she hopefully will post soon what order they are in.
Roshon tweeted a few minutes ago that he just wrapped up an episode of “Shake it Up” ….thats’ why he’s doing camera blocking so late.
Kym is really happy and excited in her tweets. I Can’t wait to see Jaleel and Kym on Monday night.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with Gavin or have never seen him live.. you might be surprised by him! He has definitely got the moves on stage and I think his charm and charisma will win over the voters as well. He does have a large fan base and we are all ready for the voting to begin
Thanks Jen, and we will see soon. Some fans can get carried away and well, you know. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and the people who run this site can delete or allow what they want. No here has said they “hate” Gavin. I saw tweets and they think we “hate” Gavin, we don’t. He (Gavin Fan) just needs to realize he was overdoing it I think. At least that’s how it looked. Hope Gavin does surprise a lot of people
Sandy – Kym is really excited in her tweets, I’m thinking Jaleel might be really good. I’m getting excited to see them dance!!! all the pros seem really excited this season
I don’t think her comments weren’t taken in the way they were intended. As a fan of Gavin’s it’s hard to read everyone’s messages saying he’s probably going home first, and we are going to do our best to make sure that doesn’t happen just like everyone else who votes for their favorites. While he isn’t that well known to a lot of people, he is by us and we will support him in every way possible.
23 hours till dancing… how long till the cheesecake?
Gladys and tristan are 11th
Well that leaves Kym and Jaleel last I bet!
3411 is the magic number to get. Apolo, Kristi, Mya, Jennifer, Kirstie (kinda) and Ricki? 3411 has quite the track record of stars doing very well. Wonder who will get the magic number this season.
20 hours 48 minutes! I think…… More than likely I’m an hour off.
Saw this tweet:
This just in from my friend who works on DWTS. She just saw Gavin DeGraw’s rehearsal and “he’s not terrible.” Still not sure who to root for.
Mark posted that their number is 3410…..10th.
She must be pretty good.
Wow, glad to see Martina and Tony in such a good spot! I’m excited to see everybody.
Tony, that’s only 6 people in 13 season and two of those didn’t win. Three of them were partnered by a Hough, three were fanbase ringers. Sooo….pretty sure it doesn’t have anything to do with the number 11
Sheery, I think this season more than “not terrible” is going to be required. We’ll see.
Not necessarily, sheery. Don’t forget the rules of running order.
It’s not necessarily about dancing. If they were really pimping her she would be 11 or 12 – but at least she’s not in spots 2 through 4.
If Tristan and Gladys do go last, I hereby call it the “pip” spot.
That being said, I don’t think it’s them.
okay…someone replied (the person who said that comment about Gavin), that Katherine was put after another foxtrot to see the contrast, and that she danced beautifully.
I actually forgot about it premiering tomorrow. Could be that Im an OR nurse and sometimes work up to 2 day at a time so I dont have much time for TV but this cast isn’t completely unknown but IMO they’re largely forgettable aka lacks buzz. None the less I will be watching hope its good. My DVRs will be in overdrive with DWTS, The Voice, and the CBS comedy all occurring in the same time slot.
CBS is still running sitcoms? Isn’t that so 1990s lol.
It’s offical lol…Jaleel is dancing last.
Jaleel tweeted their voting phone numbers! It’s 1-800-868-3412.
Going first sucks. That means they’ll be underscored and forgotten about by the end of the show. Dang.
I also have a feeling that Katherine is going to be overscored. Probably just to save her because she’s not really known. Plus, she has a nice spot on the show. All of that is going to help her.
[...] case you haven’t read it yet, Linde wrote this in the comments section of Heidi’s new DWTS Season 14, Week 1 – Who’s Dancing What…and when? Post. Ooh, I bet you’re wondering how I knew ’bout your plans to make it through A gig [...]
Shocker. They’re setting him up nice and pretty aren’t they?
Technically it’s six out of now twelve. I’m excluding Seasons 1 & 2 becaue they didn’t have an 11th star. But I do see your point. It’s just my theory. I never said it was a great one. lol =D
Karina and Gavin’s number is 1-800-868-3404 so that would make them 4th
Here I was thinking that TPTB would have Maks & whoever his partner would have been go last because of his….let’s call it “aura” lol.
Guess that leaves the 5th spot for Roshon & Chelsie.
If things play out like we think they will and Roshon & Chelsie end up 5th and Gladys & Tristan end up 11th – I think Gavin & Roshon probably need to be worried. 2nd, 3rd, 4th (and sometimes 5th, depending on how fast they’re running the show) are generally the “forgotten” positions – historically, they’re the most likely to get sent home. At least Jack & Donald seem to have fanbases that will counteract a bad running order position – I’m not so sure about Gavin & Roshon.
I feel bad for Gavin. He seems likable. I’d be nervous too if I were him because he said in a video clip that they practiced in basically teeny tiny studios compared to the the size of the main floor and they have been figuring out how to do the dance on the appropriate size floor. I hope he didn’t sustain any injuries from when he was attacked and then hit by a taxi that will affect him.
Plus it’s rare they give higher than 7s to anyone in the first set to dance it seems. I was thinking now…Jack, Gavin, and Roshon in the bottom, but all morning on Ch7 and on radio in NY they are mentioning Gladys Knight, Jack Wagner, and Sherri Shepherd. Ummmm, Gavin is a New Yorker and they are not mentioning him…hmm.
It is kind of surprising TPTB would not pimp the Disney kid a little more with a better running order spot, since he’s “family.” I like Roshon’s energy and his dimples and hope he does well this season.
@Deena – I think they’re probably thinking that, in this first week, he is probably not going to pull in a lot of viewers, since the main demographic doesn’t really know him yet. If he does well this week, I think he’ll probably end up dancing in the 2nd half of the show next week – they did the same thing with Kyle in season 11: he danced 2nd in the first week, and towards the end of the show in the 2nd week. They had to make people like him first, and then put him towards the end of the show to get people to stay tuned in to see him. This first week will mainly be about ratings – who the viewers will stay tuned in to see, vs. who they might not care much about. But it’s interesting to me that they put William & Katherine (2 people relatively unknown here in the states) in the 2nd half of the show – I would have had them pegged for one of the “spots of doom”. But I think TPTB may have done them a favor in this instance – dancing in the 2nd half will get them more exposure.
*waves hello* Hoping you have room for another newbie and long time follower of your site?!
May I be the first to offer everyone a champagne belini this morning!
Here is to a new season of DWTS. May our favorites do us proud, the choreography be the best we have ever seen, may the voting Gods keep our phones+computers in good working order, and finally that there will be loads of surprises to keep us talking for months to come!
William & Katherine are getting play in my city like crazy over the last few days on “chat shows”. Apparently, UK fans are preparing to vote “like mad” because they feel dwts is not being shown there because it might show favoritism in voting towards Kath. Does the show air in Mexico and Cuba? That then would be a valid argument for them i suppose.
Roshon looked much better in the GMA clip then we’ve seen. Gladys look nervous, as does Martina. Maria seemed stiff a bit IMHO. At least they do 2 dances before an elimination.
Courtney, I have a question. Do you think if William had Anna and Katherine had Tony, that they would have those spots, or do you think they may have stuck them in the earlier spots? I was just wondering if who the pro is made a difference….out of curiosity.
Ofcourse, theres room Ms. Taz! Welcome.
Ms. Taz, I will join you in that toast! I am looking forward to this season more than I have in quite a while. I hope it is fun and minus BIG drama!
@sheery – Perhaps…I doubt a William-Anna and/or a Katherine/Tony pairing would have been as impactful as a William-Cheryl and a Katherine-Mark pairing. But I also wonder if bringing in William and Katherine this season was a calculated move to try and broaden the demographics of DWTS, and TPTB have are somehow invested in keeping those two around a bit longer. I do think it’s telling that they’re dancing in the 2nd half of the show…that’s where they tend to put the big hitters, as viewership increases in the 2nd half of the show. It’s definitely better exposure for William & Katherine that it would be in the first hour.
@Sherry, from what I’ve heard from some UK/Irish fans, the spring season is often not shown over there. The fall season usually is, but not always the spring. No idea why.
Sucks for Tristan too because last season his family got to see him and this season, they’ll have to catch things on YT.
@Trenta: Thank goodness for DVR, right? DWTS at 8, the big “A” reveal on Pretty Little Liars at 8 (you’re killing me, ABC!) and Alcatraz at 9! I don’t know how people got by without DVR in the “old days”
I am so excited for the show tonight. I haven’t been this excited for the cast in a long time, but I really do like everybody so far. There are people I don’t know, like William, Roshon and Martina (not a tennis fan, so I had no clue who she was) but I have no reason to DISlike them so far, so everyone is starting out on equal footing with me tonight. When the cast was first announced I stated Maria/Derek and Roshon/Chelsie were my faves, just going by gut instinct. I can’t WAIT to see how everyone dances tonight to find out if one of those pairs will be getting my votes, or if someone else wows me with their dancing/personality/chemistry with their pro. Yay for my favorite show coming back on and for an enjoyable season!
Welcome Mz. Taz!! Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. Champagne is good.
Does anyone have a live streaming link to share? Excited for tonight!
@Ms. Taz, Welcome!!! Our wonderful mods do an A+ job making this an exciting but civil place to discuss DWTS. If your first post is anything to go by, I think you’ll fit in nicely.
Thank you for the champagne belini. Look forward to getting to know you this season!
So their making Jaleel go last. Producers want to make sure everybody keep tuned in. Of course everybody want to see “Urkel” dance. Also from Kym tweets she seems really excited which only means he must be good. He and Gladys got the pimp spots. Surprise their making Katherine and William go in the 2nd half of the show. They really want them to succeed, both can dance well and I think William is going to do really good and grow his fan base.
I’m also not confident about William. He’s in the latter half of the show, but not the best spot in the latter half.
The first couple dances on night one usually get hosed. And if they can’t dance they get seriously hosed. So, all those in the latter half of the show have another advantage on night one as well. Sad, but true.
I cant wait to see Maks and Melissa dance big fan of both
Magnolia, maybe Tristan’s family can watch one of those live streams? Didn’t he say his mom is a big Gladys fan….awww
he should fly her out to the show…what a treat that would be for her.
Frankly, beside Derek and Maria going first, I think they’ve weakened the first half of the show a bit. While Derek and Maria going first is good (and not at all surprising), they have the show a bit weak after that (in terms of “known” people) up until the half. The Voice is stronger than ever (16 million viewers plus) and will be serious competition – or it should be. I might have set it up a bit differently, with either Gladys or Jaleel…or maybe William for eye candy…at about the 3rd or 4th position. I dunno. I suppose there are arguments for the both ways. The key about tonight is grabbing and holding an audience. This is where I pimp my new rating series that will be starting on Wednesday.
Really, Courtney is right. Night 1 is all about RATINGS.
Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you too!
What can I say – Belini’s are the breakfast of champions!
(And devoted DWTS fans!)
I love champagne. I’m a bit of a snob about it.
:::sigh::: Traveling today. Sure do hope I get to my hotel before Derek and Maria dance. Pray.
Well in Maria’s case going first she should be fine especially since she got Derek
It’s funny they had Maria and Jaleel doing interviews together for their abc news channels and now they have one of them opening the show and the other closing the show.
@Sherry, do you know of one that works for international fans? I’d love to find one, but last season, none of the live streams seemed to work for overseas fans. Thankfully, though, nearly all the performances will be on YT by tomorrow, and I’ll have Tristan’s posted tonight. It’s not the same, but it’s better than nothing, y’know?
Tristan’s family did get to come to a few shows last season, and I know they enjoyed it immensely. Hope they can come back this season too!
Safe travels Heidi – here take the unopened bottle you may need it later and pair it with a bubble bath-you should be ready for anything after that! Lol
I think Derek and Maria will be just fine! She’s got the best teacher in the world.
Great discussion. It’s taken me a while to catch up. Can’t wait for tonight.
I’m sure Maria and Derek will start to the season off on a high note. I’m disappointed for them because I agree with others who feel their score will be low-balled.
Very glad William and Katherine got decent spots in the running order. I hope these two do well because I’d like to see them stick around.
TPTB are pimping Sherri. Not sure they need to; she already has a ready-made daily pimping platform.
Maybe the producers figure Jack and Donald have enough fan base to survive dancing in the “crap spots”.
I’m the wrong demographic to know Gavin, but I hope his fans come out strong in support of him. He seems like a decent guy.
So Jaleel gets the #12 spot. Look forward to seeing what he and Kym do with it.
Best of luck to all the teams and their fans!
Heidi – traveling on DWTS premiere night? That’s just wrong. There oughta be a law!
I’ll make offerings on your behalf to the travel gods. Hope you make it safely to your hotel in time to order room service before Derek and Maria perform.
Heidi – while I agree with you in theory, remember that the casual viewer that they’re trying to attract/keep from The Voice doesn’t know the order in advance – really it’s only us regular (obsessed
) fans that are in tune with these things. So for their purposes, give ‘em a couple with a lot of buzz (Maria&Derek), then keep ‘em watching for the couples in the latter half – although an argument could be made that the couples which would most appeal to The Voice’s younger demographic are in the first half – Gavin-Karina and Rochon-Chelsie come to mind.
Another plus for DWTS is that The Voice is in the ‘battle rounds’ phase, which quite frankly is starting to drag a bit.
Magnolia – a few weeks ago Tristan’s sister tweeted something about being out of the country around this time – she was missing some concert in Bray apparently – so I’m wondering if his family will be at the premiere tonight?
@Twickenham – it would be lovely if Tristan’s family was in LA for the premiere tonight. What a treat to see their son/brother take to the floor with the Empress of Soul!
To Heidi, Vogue and the rest of the Pure Crew – huge THANK YOU for bringing us all these tidbits and goodies!!
i’am both a DWTS fan and a fan of “The Voice.” Since I do not have a DVR, I will watch DWTS on Mondays and watch the rebroadcast of “The Voice” on the E! channel on the weekends, so I will not miss out on either.
YW Wynn and thank you everyone for all of your contributions! Be ready tonight with your reviews too after the show in Court’s new Power Ranking Post.
And HEIDI, GET TO YOUR HOTEL ROOM ASAP!!! DON’T STOP FOR DINNER OR ANYTHING!
If heaven forbid you miss anything while traveling there’s always codebear4 on you tube
Thank you for this list! I can only catch to see the last 4 couples dance. and the rest I will watch online tomorrow. Excited to see!!!
@Magnolia: Here you go hun-try this out. My cousin recommended it. He travels globally for work and never has a problem with it. Let me know if it works OK for you.
Scroll down to towards the bottom of the page. You’ll need to download the player first (it is a one time thing) and then you can stream till your heart is content!! It is also all free

Welcome, Ms. Taz, and THANKS! Unfortunately, the link isn’t working.
Maybe a typo?
Wow so Maria must not be getting alot of buzz right? Is the lead off position always a bad spot?
No, Lisa, the lead off position is usually a good spot. This has been discussed quite a bit on this post I think.
This hotel has free booze from 5:30 to 7. Odds are not looking good.
I like the way Ms. Taz thinks. Champers in the tub.
They put some folks with a loyal fan base in the first half like Jack and Donald. It does seem like the show did William and Katherine a favor by putting them in the second hour and I am guessing they will be good too. Their dancing will help outset the unknown factor.
I think Maria going first is not bad except low scores but being forgotten should not be as bad since there is no elimination until next week. If she goes later next week, I think that should be good for her.
The footage is impressive and no bad dancer. All look good.
Not surprised Katherine looks good. I expected her to look good in ballroom. If she can tackle the jive, she is a frontrunner. Argh, wish she was paired with Tristan instead. She is good which means I will be stuck with Mark for weeks now. Sure they will overscored her to keep her around.
Pace yourself, Heidi
No word on songs yet? Guess they are being very private with that.
Magnolia – Sorry hun, no typos-that was the link he gave me. Try Googling “thetvshownetwork.blogspot”. I wish I could provide you w/more. I hate the idea of anyone missing out tonight. Btw: Ty for the welcome! Now we know Jaleel is dancing last, instead of calling it the “Pip Spot” let’s call it “Doin the Urkel”!
Heidi: TYVM! It cures everything from minor irritations to dealing w/your hubby’s or significant other’s man flu!
First of all i’m happy for Heidi that not only is she at her hotel on time but also gets free booze, which she very well might need.
Thanks to EVERYONE for an awesome pre-season and hope everyone has a blast watching the show tonight! Only 5 mins till Tom, Brooke, and the Three Stooges are all back….and the orchestra and thank gawsh not Louis Van Amstel.
Heres to season 14!!!!!! – wispers – go martina and tony – end whispers –
Really Brooke???? Highest score EVER on a premier night? Remember Kristi Yamaguchi, who got 27 on week 1? That beats Katherine. And, Nicole Scherzinger got 9′s on week 1 too. I know there’s more, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.
Geez, Brooke, you don’t need to translate Tristan’s remarks to us. That struck me as kinda rude.
(I’ll give u guys a hint: it’s not wh u would expcet it to be since this person got really good comments for no reason whatsoever)
Saying that I LOVED all the perfomances except for one but you get to find out which one tomorrow
Even Anna was shocked at 2 8s for Jack….SMH. How can someone be told they did an excellent job and get 8,7,8 and then S&V noticeably make 2 mistakes, the 2 judges mention them, and give the same score 8,7,8??? lol
Ah vin, it’s got to be William. He doesn’t have the same hotness that Maria does, right?? lol
Amazing premiere, so many good ones, loved Gladys, omg Tristan was so good with her, created a perfect routine to show her off.
Also William Levy was hot hot hot, & he can move! omg!
But my favs by far were Mark & Katherine, she was lovely & super talented, wow they floated across the floor & were a perfect match!
@Meggie: yes it’s william but not for that reason lol
