Dressed casual and saying his usual PC spiel but looking hot while doing it. 🙂

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)
They aren’t allowed to begin practice til Aug. 30? What a load….Half of these couples have already danced together for a whole season, plus 4 wks of practice, I believe. I think everyone who DOESN’T have an original partner should be able to practice starting now. And I hope they get vocal about it.
Gilles had tweeted he was brushing up on his dancing at a Fred Astaire Studio or something like that. Supposedly, Kirstie has danced on & off with someone from V&M’s place (forgot the guy’s name), and Joey Fatone has been dancing in Vegas.
Why not let them begin when they want and that’ll show fans who’s dedicated by the days/hours they are willing to put in from the “get-go”.
Mimi: I have a feeling the TPTB are going to make it more difficult for all of them this season. Don’t you?
prolly because it costs a lot to assemble the whole filming/editing team and the rules are they do all their practice on film for liability issues, I think that’s what I heard some past teams say.
Jess: That’s sounds about right
They might not be able to openly practice together, but if the new partnerships have the sense of houseplants, they’ll be spending some time together getting to know one another. It will be interesting to see who hangs out together before “official practice” begins and who doesn’t.
#margaret–it really lloks like it depends who it is if they were really TOLD they couldn’t start until Aug. 30. As sheery said many have been practicing for months and dancing IN VEGAS . I’m hoping they can start as soon as they want to and preparing, stratigising, blocking moves and routines…whatever. It is gonna be one tough season for alot of reasons. If you don’t have some attention grabbing “stuff”, gonna get lost in the crowd.
He is gorgeous!! The new E! Set up is very nice too!!
Well you know Derek is strategizing. I”m glad he and Shawn know each other and are already friends because it does seem unfair that the couples who weren’t originally partnered have to wait until the 30th to practice.
They’re going to be awesome together.
Should be a great season
Can’t wait!! Gosh I could listen to Derek read the phone book! He’s right though I think Gilles is gonna be hard to beat!
Hey guys, wasn’t sure where to post this but this article says Derek and Peta will be dancing an Argentine Tango on Simon Cowell’s hit UK gameshow, Red or Black.

Yes, Renee, that was one of his projects that he was filming over there a month or so ago. I’ll post it later, most likely.
Interesting how he mentions Gilles and Peta as being his biggest competition. Gawd, I’m so excited about this season. Bring it on and Go Derek!
Me too Vogue, such an exciting season ahead. High praise from Derek for Peta. I can’t wait to see what Derek choreographs for Shawn. Imo, this team has tons of potential to make it all the way!
I’m not surprised about Derek picking Giles out as their biggest competition, at least til he sees more. I remember alot about Giles season and he was just jaw-dropping good every week. Smooth, couldn’t take your eyes off him. I think his couple of misses were just about Cheryl’s lack of creativity and the music being kinda MEH. But Giles, wow, and he lost to Shawn so you know ……
Mark is probably not saying much because he is probably mad that he got Bristol instead of Shawn!! I wonder why none of Derek’s partners are not part of the Allstars?
I’ll be angry if i were Mark. This is all -stars season, and the quality of dancers and performances are gonna be off the roof!!! And you giving me one of my weakest partners ever?I feel awful for him.
#15..I think Nicole S. is starting judging on a show(Xfactor) in England?? bout the same time as DWTS starts, Jenn has stated her body can’t make it thru another whole season and Brooke is obviously working but I think she has some health issues(thyroid) right now, too. I was so hoping Nicole could have but didn’t think the other 2 would. Would’ve been awesome considering they put original partners back together.
