Judge Carrie Anne Inaba Picks William Levy To Win Dancing With The Stars Season 14 (Video)
Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Anne Inaba was a guest on Good Morning America today. She talks of what it’s been like to judge Dancing With The Stars Season 14 saying it’s been “the best”. The dancing has been “beyond their expectations” and every week has been “so exciting” and has had a “new energy”. Carrie Anne also discussed how different the judges scoring has been this season from one another. She, Len, and Bruno disagreed the most with Maria and Derek’s Bollywood number. Carrie Anne then breaks down the final three saying Donald Driver has the toughest road ahead of him. Katherine has the best technique. In the end and judging by the audience’s reaction, Carrie Anne thinks William Levy will win since fans “love, love, love” him.
I think Carrie Anne is wrong about William winning and Peta and Donald will show her who’s boss, but, we will see? 🙂
This just means she’s going to overscore him again, regardless of how well or badly he dances.
Oh, no… Absolutely NO favoritism there! Why, she’s protecting the integrity of the judging process! She’s doing her best to be a paragon of impartiality and objectivity! She’s…… sorry, I can’t. Need to go hurl right now! 😛
Carrie Ann thinking with her naughty bits again! Isn’t her fiancee taking care of her needs? She should stop speaking for the fans. Not everyone is fooled by a “pretty face”. Remember you can’t judge a book by its’ cover. Free Willy is just Cheryl’s stripper pole (speaking of someone who needs to get laid).
Wait to not be obvious Carrie Ann. I always liked her but more and more I think DWTS maybe shouldn’t have ever hired her and shes just a harlot that use to dance for Madonna. Yes I went there. 🙂
I think she is right, and is basing her opinion on the very obvious fan base.
Judges should not do interviews before the competition. JMO.
I agree Lizzbeth. It’s not fair.
Is anyone actually surprised by this announcement? If it had been up to CA, she would have handed him the mirrorball the first night of competition. I am so hoping DD and Peta take this thing.
The thing is….just because the fan reaction in the audience is big like she says, doesn’t mean all of those fans are “voting” for William. For instance, if I was in the audience, I’d be one of those fans to cheer on William too in a big way. I love him and his dancing …and I hope his acting really takes off in the US afterwards because I think he’s talented and he’s made me a fan in that way. However, that doesn’t mean I want him to win necessarily.
Has Carrie Anne ever done this before, you know pick a winner right before the finale?
I love DWTS but this season the judges have left a bad taste in my mouth. Don’t they realize they are taking all the joy out of this process and making it all about them.
If William Levy wins, that would be wrong on all levels. Yup, overscore for Willy, 3 “10s”, I can see it now, a striptease to cover up his mediocre dancing, and underscore for Donald, who will probably be a showstopper … I hope Donald’s fans vote their asses off.
@Vogue (#9)
I couldn’t have said it better!! Totally agree with everything you said!!! William is an amazing guy…still wishing he was paired with someone else!!!
Thanks Ify, I wish that too.
of course she does -_- i’d bet that if they asked who should be on the all star season she would say him too.
@Voguerista: A william and Karina pairing would have been ideal. then gavin could have gotten cheryl.
@vin
Hmm…I was thinking him with Kym so Ch would have the jerkel…but Karina is also a great choice! They would make an amazing couple!
I agree Vin! Karina would have been a good pairing with him. Same with Kym…or what about SHARNA??!!
Sharna also looks great Vogue…but I haven’t seen her teaching and that’s why I can’t really say if they would be good together…
I think Kym and Jaleel were a pretty good pairing dancewise but truth be told I’m not a Sharna fan. she is a great dancer but i don’t see ehr becoming a pro until either kym, anna, karina, or cheryl leave.
Shocking. CAI picks the “sexy” man who she’s been infatuated with all season. Hahaha.
Definitely a wrong answer, CAI…. what you SHOULD have said , instead, what that it’s close, and any of them can win. ALWAYS be PC, especially when interviewed just before a big episode…. You remember to put aside the raging hormones, and for once this season, put on your Big Girl Judging Panties. Or, take off the FW colored glasses…..
@Sandy Didn’t Cheryl say that if they made it to the finals that William would be stripping naked or something to that effect? So does this mean that Cheryl is going to choreograph a freestyle based on freeing Free Willy’s willy?
Cheryl’s a pig!
lets hope Carrie Anne is wrong she also predicted that Cheryl was going to win with GIles right before the finals and she was wrong
William will win. The fan base he has around the world is amazing. He has people from Europe and South America voting for him like mad. I know the Packer nation will vote for Donald but he will not win.
Anne is not wrong! William is going to win…..woooooohooooo!!……William and Cheryl all the wayyy….Team Fuego is going to win =)
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this, it sort of goes with TPTB not-so-subtly telling uswho to vote for….A friend of mine keeps saying she saw posts about a mag printed with the final three in it, pics ets., b4 Maria danced her last dance ??? Anyone else seen that. Also said she saw posts about the All-Star season being the last?
She can’t find them again and I can’t find either …
Icela, a warning – we don’t allow excessive campaigning. If you can’t find anything else to say but “Go William!”, then I’m going to start deleting.
Sonia, unless you’re suddenly psychic, you don’t know that William will win. So why not preface it with an “I think”, so you don’t sound silly if & when William doesn’t win…
@mimi – *shrug* At this point, with all of the funny business that we’ve seen this season (especially with that TV Guide leak of the entire cast the night before the cast announcement), it wouldn’t surprise me if your friend saw pix of the final 3. Any other season, I would have poo-poohed the notion, but with as wacky as this season has been…nothing really shocks or surprises me anymore.
As for the All-Star season being the show’s last – more and more, I think it’s a possibility, and as horrible as it sounds…I’m almost hoping it’s the last season. I don’t know how many more seasons of manipulation I can take. On the whole, I think we may actually be witnessing the death throes of all of the dance reality shows – DWTS, SYTYCYD, America’s Best Dance Crew, and even America’s Got Talent all seem to be on the decline, both in terms of ratings, and how they’re formatted. The dance reality show craze may be nearing the end of its course, methinks…
I saw the pictures that were being discussed and it seemed very innocuous. People magazine only had a half page for pictures and they did rather poor cutting and pasting to get the pictures in there that they did. Derek and Maria were included in the text of the article. It didn’t say “Final 3” anywhere on it. I think it was likely a guess on the editor of the likely ones to make it through – just like we do. I think it obviously came down to Katherine and Maria.
Derek fans need to stop looking for conspiracies around every corner, seriously.
As for the All Star Season being the last?? They don’t make that decision NOW unless the producers just don’t want to do the show any more. If that were the case, they WOULD say so now to boost the final season ratings. ABC isn’t going to cut a top five show until it starts taking a serious dive – and it hasn’t yet. Now, they might find it more financially feasible to do only one season a year. But I have to say, unless the PRODUCERS or ABC said it was the last season, then it’s probably bullshit. Zap2It said DWTS was on it’s way out back in Season 5. Every year it’s the same thing.
The biggest problem with CAI opening her fat mouth is that it makes people less inclined to vote. If a JUDGE is saying who’s going to win before they even dance, how likely are YOU to spend time voting. She needs to shut the fuck up.
PH, I hope it has the opposite effect and gets viewers’ backs up. Fans who prefer Donald or Katherine might hear that and say “whoa nellie! I better vote and get my friends to vote for (Donald/Katherine) because CAI is going for William” – or “I’m not gonna let William’s fans “steal” the MBT from (Katherine/Donald)” I dunno, maybe that’s just me 😕
Thank you PH! What the hell is wrong with Carrie Ann?? What has William got that has everyone in a frenzy!! He is talented and cute but geez! Now Giles on the other hand…I am a die hard Chicago Bears fan but I will be voting for Donald. He may get more votes than just the “Packer Nation”!
It MIGHT work that way, Cidra. Or it might make those that think their votes don’t count CERTAIN that their votes don’t count.
In what countries did these telenovelas air? I never heard of them prior to Levy being on DWTS?
Carrie Ann wants Willy to win because she undresses him every time she lays eyes on him. I wish you gals had an eye rolling emoticon.
Tony – ::roll:: I think…
CAI needs to quit talking with her vagina…or better yet just quit talking!!
@Vikayanna
Check these links…they are the three novelas where he had the male lead role…
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuidado_con_el_Angel
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortilegio
3) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triunfo_del_Amor
The third one is his last work and the link might not be updated cause I didn’t see my country in the list but I definitely saw the novela on TV!
William and Carrie Ann are nomianted for teen choice awards smh. i hate to say it but if he loses this season we might see him on all stars because i don’t think anyone from the show has ever won one of those awards.
I don’t if anyone watched the TVLand Awards but Carrie Anne won an award as well as PeeWee Herman. I think Carrie Anne had been a Flygirl in the series “In Living Color” or something like that. And PeeWee was just his old creepy self and won an award for that. Yuck!
I hope The Three Stooges aren’t going to be salivating all over Willy and Cheryl on Monday Night, honestly this is so sad it almost makes want to cry for the other two contestants, especially Donald.
Imagine how nicely ABC/Univision will feel with their own Latino boy winning the show, he’s a BIG star now, (maybe to some, but not me), but don’t you think it that win might seem rather suspicious, I do.
@Sandy: As a kid, I used to find him kinda amusing but now looking back all I think is “what the hell was I thinking. He looks like a giant vantrilaquist dummy”
He’s nominated, Vin, he hasn’t won yet. Maybe his rabid fans will be so busy voting on that that he won’t win DWTS. 🙂 We can hope.
That said…once again, I can’t find a single thing about how one gets nominated for those awards. Makes me think there are a lot of publicists and network/studio big wigs involved.
I am just hoping the scoring is fair monday tuesday and no ranking for tuesday night where they give the best 30 the next person receives a 28 and the last one receives a 26 I always hate when they do that. Cuz if the TBTP does this i can just see william getting the 30
I didn’t even know there was a teen’s choice awards to be honest lol Apparantly the award is a surf board which is kinda cool so i’d rather him get a surfboard than a mirrorball trophy
Hard to say, despite some constant overscoring. Everyone was sure Rikki Lake was a shoo-in too and didn’t she come in third? So much can change this last round.
Er, can the broad generalizations that aren’t accurate, Peach. No one here thought Ricki was a “shoo-in” to win and most of us were pretty sure from Week 1 it was going to be JR.
Brett, when asked who would win, she said William and then went on about it.
Anyway, I’m tired of some calling others haters when we/they are not. Everyone has a right to like who they want for dancing. Just because someone doesn’t like the same person as you, does it mean they hate them. If you are going to call fans “haters”, etc. , then don’t be surprised to find your post deleted and you won’t be welcomed here.
Word Vogue. We expect the posters here to behave like adults. “Hater” is so….13 years old. Grow up.
+1!!!!
