A Special Announcement Planned For Tonight On Dancing With The Stars And More Media
Wow, will we ever forget Season 14′s Semi-finals on Dancing With The Stars? I don’t think I ever will. Let’s get the couples reactions from George Pennacchio of On The Red Carpet. Note in Derek’s interview how George mentions a special announcement taking place tonight on the show. He asks, “Could it be about the “All-star Season”? What could it be? UPDATE: Entertainment TV just confirmed an All-star season of Dancing With The Stars for next Fall. Thanks to Vin and Jeff for this news.
First up, below is Mark with an update on Katherine’s injury and what happened. He also talks of how your mind goes black when something like that happens on the show. He hopes they make it to the finals and he mentions some goals if they do. He also says they had a good run if they have to go home.
George tells Maria she has “Grandma” feet. They talk of their top scores last night and why they deserve to be in the finals. Derek said Maria been tough no matter what’s been thrown at her and she’s improved the most since the beginning. Maria she has loved doing Dancing With The Stars more than anything she’s ever done. As said before, George also talks about how the show is making a special announcement tonight.
Peta says the fans should keep them in the show because they’ve worked so hard. They also plan to go out with the biggest bang in their freestyle if they get to continue. They have a lot of tricks planned.
George asks William on his “butt shake” last night and he doesn’t know. LOL! He loved all of his family support last night. They make him a ‘better person’ not a ‘better dancer’. If the fans want them to stay, they will. If they have to go, they know atleast they’ve done the best they could. Cheryl says she’s had a “partnership” with William this season.
Maria, Derek, and Mark also talked with Access Hollywood on their dances and injuries….
ET Online interviewed the couples as well….
Henry of PopTVDotCom was out and about after the show to get some reactions from some of the cast after the show including Tom Bergeron….
Keep your dance shoes on, more media coming up! Stay tuned!

Tom: “Yeah, we’ve been renewed for our 83rd season…” LOL!
Maria can run and play football pretty good for a person that is injured.
Evelyn, why don’t you just come right on out and call her a liar. :::rolls eyes::: Yeah, and Derek danced very well last night for someone who was questionable for dancing at all. I suppose he’s a liar too? How about Katherine?? All an act? Get over it people – sometimes people struggle through all kinds of things or don’t let injuries prevent them from doing what they want to do. I think that actually makes them STRONGER than some of the rest of us. Or more foolish. But liars? Suck it up.
WELL ANNOUNCEMENT…ABC WAS KIDDING DWTS 15 IS THEIR LAST SEASON ALL STARS. ANNIE GOODBYE
I get so mad at people’s comments that call Maria a liar just because she doesn’t show any weakness and continue dancing. She’s a real fighter and skeptics just can’t believe that. It’s maddening.
My guess the announcement is All-Star season for the fall. I can’t think of anything else

Standing O!
“Get over it people – sometimes people struggle through all kinds of things or don’t let injuries prevent them from doing what they want to do. I think that actually makes them STRONGER than some of the rest of us. Or more foolish. But liars? Suck it up.”
Brilliant! Just Brilliantly said!
Never called Maria a liar. After the jive you could see her feet were bothering her the way she walked up the stairs, but later that night she is running around with no problem – just my observation.
Annette, once again, please do not use big text. Your posts will be deleted from here on out if you do it again.
And +1 Miss!!!!
Sorry Miss Vogue,didn’t know.
Thanks Annette.
Evelyn,
I understand your observation… however, as someone who has had and or is still dealing with significant injury and pain (3 blown out discs in back and 2 in neck + 1 sublex) multiple right ankle fractures at site where ankle previous was “rebuilt” & “restrung” if you will (sports injury from college) lots of things I shouldn’t be doing, options to consider, but right now life is BUSY. I’m doing what I can as I can (maybe not always as smart about it as I should be) Also complicated by MS. I don’t always feel my right side very well, pain registers then it doesn’t – and when it doesn’t because I’m flaring or numb or weird (my word) I just do me and well I have a life to lead, things to do…. pain or no pain, we treat it, deal with it and get on with it. But when it shows up… YOUCH!
I’m a mom to 5 teens and twenty somethings, a Nana with a seriously funny active 19mo granddaughter – when she is here, when there are things to do I simply do my thing, places to go, people to see, a house to manage, a life to lead – and often pay for it later…. like late at night, privately from the eyes of my children and or friends… and that’s okay ’cause the moments I choose to ignore or get past the pain are moments I’ll never forget… for Maria, Kathryn, Melissa, William etc… this is a moment/an experience they’ll never forget! It’s a trade off really and one by choice
However, when the pain HITS, made by motion, movement, hell it’s gonna rain and you are HURTING in that moment, it shows, but as it subsides and or it’s treated (cryo, elec stim., PT, injections, traction, air casts, boots, braces etc…) when the pain subsides and is at a level (to each his own) that you can either ignore or deal – you do and it doesn’t show. In more extreme moments you can’t help but to notice, whether its a look, body posture, favoring of one side, limb etc. Everyone is human and some are just built tougher than others – not right or wrong, bad or good – human nature – it’s what makes us so much fun!
Athletes (I know I started in Sports Medicine long ago) have a mid set that many do not – you work through the pain, the injury – not always smart, but they do it – all the time. You pick and choose your level of discomfort and that “oh oh” moment – but sometimes life is happening and well you just roll with it.
Maria has that mindset I believe – she’s tough – no playing up to or down to – it is what it is and she rolls with it. Each of the dancers, Pro’s (they are finely tuned athletes – back in the day, football players would have to take dance or ballet courses, (short version), great for balance, ligature and muscle strengthening, stretching, coordination – no joke did those guys piss and moan at how hard it was – how sore they were – and a fine appreciation for the athlete that is a dancer) know what it is to dance through the pain, many celebs have learned the same.
Life, moments are the choices we make, more often than not we choose the moment… Maria, I think, when this is all over, will get the additional care (I hope) and some downtime to allow her injuries to heal properly – until that time she is choosing to have the time of her life… it’s when you stop and give in to the pain the injury you can get swallowed up by it – not ever a good place to be.
They’ve all gotten pretty banged up this season and still giving the public a damn fine show. My best to all the Pro’s and Celebs when the season is over may they heal and continue to dance!
Just a broken up Mom/Nana/Lady/FormerAthlete/Lover of Dance .02 cents
PS – love the dialogue the *snark* from time to time – all that the fine ladies put together for us all here at Pure…. for the commentary, insight and opinions shared by so many. Makes the entire DWTS experience a delight!
PS – Courtney you are back from LV — Any pics of you RAWKIN those shoes!?! That I want to see!!!
Peace & Dance to all!
Maybe being in heels is more bothersome. Maybe after dancing she gets a treatment. Mark even said there is a doctor there.
I think sometimes people forget that some people are lucky to be able to see the best doctors available to them, and that can make all the difference.
CJ, I also have MS. I know there are worse things, but I don’t wish this on anyone. I take take of my kids, my cousin’s children (she passed away and named me as guardian), a bedridden dad, and a mom in hospice….and a new puppy LOL–there’s always a bright side. I work a part time job as a substitute teacher also. Same here, when things flare up….yikes! But, I have a lot of people who rely on me and just have to deal with it. Perhaps maybe that’s why I feel that someone athletic like Maria can push through the pain. Have a great day
# 11 What CJ said, everything is a choice.and with sports injuries there are lots of factors…when it’s strain and inflammation you can’t just STOP everything either. It can make it worse. I’ve had sports related injuries, dance injuries and fell from a horse in competition and got treatment to my back similar”the way photos looked and description” to what Derek had Sunday ?? I had to be literally strapped to the saddle to stay on thru the jumping competition cause I was kinda numb.
Interesting to note Derek say in the one interview that after treatment they tried some of the lifts he’d planned but he had to alter them and not do a couple because he couldn’t…I was AMAZED at what he could do. I am also wondering IF he has DAD, he had to alter parts of that, too. Always interesting to watch how an athelete compensates when you are aware they have injuries. I loved Maria’s jive BTW..perfect example of what a genius he is and always working to his partners strengths and in this case, hoping the judges would just like it(like Tony D. said-sometimes the judges just like a risk and sometimes they hate it) and counting on it to be entertaining to viewers. It was gutsy and risky but what else was he to do at this point, no way could she do a full-on “proper” jive on those feet.
He has done so much with awful circumstances from Day i and she has gone thru so much and progressed all along, that I hope they make it . It’s deserved. If not…it’s Donald all the way. Love that guy !! Also deserving of a spot in finals.

You do what you feel you have to, need to, compelled to do – especially when you’ve worked so hard for something, towards something or when there is simply no other choice (as in daily life kind of things). Yes, depending on the injury simply stopping any and all movement is not good either – they’ve got doctors to advise best course of action.
Kudos to Derek for knowing limits to both he and Maria and still making it work … one of the things I appreciate the most about Derek his ability to play up, work around, consider strengths and weakness of his partners and put on a show!
Derek’s video also said that they didn’t get either routine until Sunday night and that he didn’t have an ending for the AT until 5 minutes before they performed it. That would FREAK me out, if I were Maria. And yeah, he was gonna have a death drop or something at the end and had to take it out because he couldn’t lift her that way. That’s serious commitment to be able to get through two dances after all that.
Yes, CJ, you do what you feel you have to. What I did was dangerous, scarey but I had to do it for my 1230lb.”baby”, a big Appaloosa who always does whatever I ask of him. Not true with even the trainer sometimes. It was a big day, a big possible win (and we won)for him, so the chance of a fall or not making it over a lg. jump, was taken.
I’m sure Derek had similar thoughts. Better for his body to sit it out but when you dance with someone, do routines together, you get used to the other persons body. To have to do that change in one day, not even that easy for pros. He knew she probably wouldn’t have a chance with anyone else. Anytime his feet left the floor or he did a lift, risk. But hopefully he just has major inflammation (sounds like) and with care and treatment, he will power through. Great guy and girlfriend has guts and trusts him lots to have him doing lifts day after injury.

With the all star season hopefully they stick to their guns with no winners allowed cuz mark wants Nicole Scherzinger as a partner
Geez, I didn’t know that Australians were able to vote?
Kudos to Mark for being so supportive to Katherine when she took her stumble on the dancefloor. I know thats their job, but it was still nice to hear.
Yeah, Sandy, I’ve been liking Mark a lot with Katherine.
