PureDWTS14 Week 6 Media After The Dance, Some Dances For Classical Week Revealed
Let’s get right to the On The Red Carpet interviews with George Pennacchio and see how the couples felt about their dances and the night. Let’s also see if George finds out anything about next week’s dances as well….
First up, Chelsie and Roshon! George tells them they has his favorite dance last night. They said no matter what, they had a good time. Roshon said he tried to do the best he could. For Classical Week, Chelsie wants to clean it up and really get Roshon moving if they make it. Roshon wants to keep it mixed up and entertaining.
Derek and Maria talk of how the Marathon dance messed up their scores. Maria took full responsibility. These two have the Paso Doble if they make it to Classical Week. They gave them a song for next week, but Derek said it’s “so not right” and wants another. For right now, he just wants to concentrate on the “Dance Duel” for tonight if they have to do it. He wants to be sure they are loaded and have the bullets ready to go.
Gladys is so pleased with last night. She had the best time and she felt like they had a great dance. She doesn’t care about numbers. It’s not what is the most important thing. They are looking forward to the Dance Duel if they have to do it. They opened the show last night and they will close it tonight if they have to. If they make it for Classical week, they will do something “classic” and show another side.
Melissa “really enjoyed” herself last night and feels inspired to keep going. Maks would like to dance to 90’s R & B if he could choose a theme, but, he loved Motown Week. They talk of how the show is determined to make him the bad guy. Maks won’t reveal anything for classical week if they make it.
Donald was pleased with his dances last night and that he blew away Len. He feels the competition is heating up and he will work that much harder to try and get three 10’s next week. They have the Viennese Waltz for Classical Week. Peta says it will be prim and proper…and old fashioned.
William is sweating and said he gave it his all last night. They had so much fun doing the Marathon dance. They have the Viennese Waltz for next week if they make it. Cheryl hopes to show a romantic and sophisticated side of William.
Katherine says Mark told her to look in his eyes for the Marathon and never take them off. She can’t believe they won. No matter the score, Mark says they tried to do their best. They don’t reveal anything for next week’s dance, but, Mark wishes they’d have Theatrical week some day with no rules.
Kym and Jaleel are excited and surprised on their comeback. He hoped Motown Week would be his dance. If they make it this week, they have the Viennese Waltz. Jaleel has no problem getting romantic. Kym thinks it will keep them in the competition.
Stay tuned Dancettes. Another media post coming up shortly! π
Thanks for the videos!
Roshon&Chelsie were very gracious considering their low scores.
I loved how Maria owned up to sucking in the marathon- a great interview for them.
Gladys&Tristan- no need to comment much, so much joy and such good attitude. Tristan does have a point about scoring according to the themes if there is one.
Melissa&Maks- while I absolutely believe that TPTB are typecasting Maks into a bad boy it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t make dancing (and interviews for that matter) about himself too much. HE gave the producers the chance to typecast him.
I do think Donald&Peta are overdoing a bit with competitiveness. To call a three 9’s week a mediocre week?!
William&Cheryl- I like certain aspects of both his and her personalities but man, something is weird with the two of them together.
Katherine&Mark- gracious as always, good attitude. I love how Mark had all these ideas for themes, you can see his creative side is working all the time.
Jaleel&Kym- while he still may appear weird and domineering in some spots, those two really have seemed to find a way to work thing out. And I credit mostly Kym with that. She is the anti-Maks, patient, understanding and low key.
Sasa, you may be making the classic mistake of thinking you know people by the way they get shown. Some of the people you’re praising are NOTHING like the way they are consistently shown (at least where their teaching style is concerned).
Well, please elaborate with some arguments! Saying “you’re wrong” but not explaining doesn’t mean anything to me.
I’ve only praised Kym’s teaching in my post- so you’re saying you have some inside information that Kym doesn’t teach in a patient and understanding way?
Vogue, Thank You for posting these! I don’t know how you manage to stay on top of all of these clips. You’re AMAZING! π
The comment that really disgusted me was (of course) from Jaleel. He said “I have no problem getting romantic and soft with this woman.” This woman…. oof. JMO, but that man has the romantic allure of a fungal infection. ::roll::
sasa – It’s a long story. Jaleel has a history of saying and doing some very inappropriate things. I did my best to lay out my case in another thread: https://www.puredwts.com/2012/04/18/jaleen-white-talks-about-the-dance-duel-on-dancing-with-the-stars-and-more-on-the-view/
@Sally
You’ve totally confused me now. You said that some people who’s teaching I have praised are not what they seem to be. How does that refer to Jaleel? He ain’t teaching anyone and I didn’t praise him, I’ve praised Kym.
I’m aware that there was a blowout between them and that his temper was the most probable cause. And that everyone tried to downplay it which made it even worse. For weeks after, while watching their interviews and packages, I thought that their relationship is ruined because he’s too much of a creep and the friendship seemed very forced. This week for the first time I had the impression that they managed to get past it and be a team again.
That doesn’t mean he isn’t a jerk. I can’t say for sure but he probably is not the easiest person to be around. It is more important to me that the celebrity and star form a partnership which can inspire some great dancing than to judge their personality. There have been people with questionable reputation, rumors, character traits, history… on the show before and I’ve rooted for some of them. As probably you have also. :shrug
sasa – My apologies. I went back and re-read what you wrote. I misunderstood the first time. I agree with you that Kym is the anti-Maks – patient, sweet, encouraging. With her, everything is rainbows, glitter, and unicorn horns… π And you’re also right in that IF they’ve found a way to “get along”, it’s only because Kym has adapted to Jaleel – not the other way around.
As to whether he’s a jerk??? Well, I know what MY answer is to that… π
Oh, that explains it! π We’re good. :wink
sasa – one other thing. You said “There have been people with questionable reputation, rumors, character traits, historyβ¦ on the show before and Iβve rooted for some of them. As probably you have also. :shrug” At least for me, the back-story about the person is part of why I root and vote. So no, once I make MY choice about someone being a jerk, then my votes for him or her stop. Same thing is true in this case. I respect the opinions of people who just concentrate on the dancing, but I look at “the journey” and make my admittedly subjective choice from there.
@Sally
I take into account what I see on the show and what information is provided in interviews and on PureDWTS but I don’t search out people on their backgrounds.
I thought Sugar Ray had a lovely personality on the show and I probably voted for him as I recall thinking he was underscored on a certain week (and I love Anna) so I was surprised to read about his abusive past.
Warren Sapp was a charmer on the show and extremely fun to watch. He as well had some troubles, I’m not even sure what kind but if I remember correctly also abuse.
Heck, even Hines Ward got a DUI charge.
There were quite a few people who admitted to using substances in the past. It’s not unreasonable to think they did some questionable things back then.
The list probably goes on and on. If I started eliminating people for being jerks at one time or another I don’t know where it would lead.
Although I must say I didn’t like having Chris Brown perform on the show because it was quite apparent to me that, at that time, he didn’t understand the wrongness of what he had done. It was an exceptional situation.
sasa – I don’t search out people either. IIRC, the Hines Ward DUI was *after* he won the MBT; Sapp’s troubles also came out after DWTS. As for Sugar Ray, I didn’t vot for him… π And yes, we all remember Lawrence Taylor – but again, that happened after DWTS. It’s admittedly subjective, like I said before, but once someone gets on my “Jerk list”, my votes go buh-bye. And Jerkel is most definitely on my Jerk list. π
Is it me but Kym seems extra happy this week…Of course their dance and scores were great but she seems over the top (in a good happy way). Jaleel is funny lol “after you had that fight after school you already know”…had me lmbo. Hope their safe they worked hard this week. I feel like them being in the Dance Duel lit a fire under them.
Sally, I understand your reasoning. I would probably be on the fence about it if it weren’t for Kym being so cheerful this week. It really surprised me how she seemed to genuinely have a good time teaching him.
So either he’s not SO bad or Kym is SO good that she can re-find joy in a spoiled partnership. If it’s the first scenario I’m voting for them both and if it’s the second I’m voting for Kym only and she deserves it.
(I threw only a couple votes their way, the rest went to Roshon for obvious reasons)
Sasa, Because of my subjective reasoning, I threw them 0 votes. I understand your reasoning as well – hope you understand why, when I read about you tossing a couple their way, I muttered a soft “Dang it!” under my breath… π
lol Sure.
For anyone looking for some Tristan cuteness check out his reaction after Jaleel&Kym got their scores.
