PureDWTS15 Preliminary Show POLLS: VOTE For Your Top 3 Favorite Couples, Who Will Win, 1st Eliminated Couple
POLL TIME again, Everyone!! Now that we know on the 13th couple, let’s get some preliminary show numbers on your top THREE favorite couples at this time, who you think will win the new Dancing With The Stars All Star Season, and who you think will be eliminated off the show the very first week. Vote below and let us know how you voted in the comment section. NOTE: while watching the voting results, keep in mind that these numbers aren’t always accurate being some fans figure out a way to alter the polls 
, but, we’ve done our best to stop that from happening. Ok, ready? Do to it in these three new polls (be sure to click the “read more” link after the first poll to see and vote in all three polls if you are viewing this topic from the home page) and thanks so much for your participations!! 
I’m so glad I discovered you few...
Here is how I voted, but, oh this is hard and I’m sure it will change when the season starts;
1. Kelly and Val, Gilles and Peta, Pamela and Tristan
2. Apolo and Karina
3. Sabrina and Louis
And here’s how I voted.
1. Kirstie and Maks, Anna and Drew and Kym and Joey.
2. Derek and Shawn
3. Sadly, Val and Kelly
Here’s how I voted.
Top 3 couples.
1. Apolo and Karina, Pamela and Tristan, Drew and Anna
2. Apolo and Karina
3. Melissa and Tony.
I’ll join in!
1. Shawn and Derek, Joey and Kym, Apolo and Karina.
2. Shawn and Derek
3. Pam and Tristan (though I wish it was Sabrina and Louis, due to Louis’ “hemorrhoidal tendencies”)…
I’m game!
1. Drew & Anna; Gilles & Peta; Joey & Kym
2. Shawn & Derek
3. Helio & Chelsie (this was a hardest one for me)
Why not?
1. Shawn and Derek, Joey and Kym, Drew and Anna
2. Shawn and Derek with Apolo and Karina a close second. It depends on if Apolo can improve his technique (which I think Karina will be able to help with) and how the audience votes.
3. Bristol and Mark
I don’t dislike Bristol. In fact, I kind of identify with her in that she was the most new to performing and getting comfortable with the audience in her first season. However, I do feel that she is the least talented (at this point) when it comes to technique and performance.
and LOL to Sally “hemorrhoidal tendencies”!
I actually surprised myself on my votes for 1 and 3.
1) Drew and Anna, Melissa and Tony, Sabrina and Louis
2) Apolo and Karina
3) Helio and Chelsie.
I agree with Linde, number 3 was hard! I wanted to vote Kelly and Val…but I think Kelly may have a strong fanbase. I wanted to vote Pam and Tristan and Bristol and Mark…but I think the pro fanbases will keep those couples in at least a couple of weeks. I didn’t have the heart to vote for Melissa and Tony, though it very well could be them.
1.) Drew & Anna, Pam & Tristan, Apolo & Karina
2.) Shawn & Derek, though I kinda hope I’m wrong and Drew & Anna swoop in and surprise everyone!
3.) Kelly & Val
4 people actually think Bristol will win the all-star season? That’s…cute.
1) Kirstie & Maks, Karina&Apolo, Pam&Tristan
2) Karina&Apolo
3) Bristol and Mark
- Helinho, Shawn and Apolo (my top 3 fav couples ever)
- Shawn <3
- Pam
Since everyone’s doing it.
1. Shawn & Derek, Drew & Anna, Gilles & Peta
2. Shawn & Derek
3. Kelly & Val
Was very hard for me to pick 3 as I have 6 favorites right now, but I picked Drew/Anna, Apolo/Karina, Joey/Kym. Would add Shawn/Derek, Pam/Tristan, and Gilles/Peta if I could.
I think it’s possible for several to win. There are a few I don’t think have a chance of winning. For this poll I voted Apolo/Karina.
First one out, hmm, I don’t really know, I guess there are a few who might be vulnerable. For this poll I picked Kelly.
1. Shawn, Apolo & Pam (!).
2. Shawn.
3. Sabrina, shocking foreveeeeeeer /o/
My gosh, I have no idea about who will win, get voted off in a certain order. Not yet. I say do not count out Kelly Monaco. She will have the same drive and determination to excel as anyone else. She is always in top physical shape, she has a ton of soap fans, me being a huge fan, who will vote for her. This is going to be so hard to know who to vote for each week. I expect high caliber dancing each week.
I hope Max and PETA will dance together at some point.
I would love to see Carrie Ann, Len, and Bruno dance this season. Here is who I would pair them with. Carrie Ann and Tristan, Bruno and Karina,Len and Kym.
Also a return trip to the dance floor of Tom and Brooke. I would pair Brooke with Derek again. Tom with Anna.
1. Shawn/Derek, Drew/Anna, Apolo/Karina
2. Shawn/Derek, in a fight to the end with Apolo/Karina and possibly Gilles/Peta
3. Bristol/Mark – wanted to make a double elimination with Sabrina/Louis
i actually have more than three favorite couples, but there is one I would not include as I do not like the celebrity but like the pro.
1 Shawn & Derek, Drew & Anna and Pamela & Tristan
2 Shawn & Derek
3 Kelly & Val
1. Gilles/Peta, Kirstie/Maks, Drew/Anna
2. Shawn/Derek OR Apolo/Karina
3. Bristol/Mark (fingers crossed!)
@Courtney
Maybe they misunderstood the question?
Shawn, Apolo, Joey
Apolo
Helio
I like Helio so I hope I’m wrong there. Along with Courtney, I’d love to see Anna and Drew shock the hell out of everyone and walk away with the trophy. I left Gilles out only because of his lousy attitude so far and because I can’t stand his pro. I do believe the producers and judges will tweak things to make it less predictable than it appears to me going in.
Here’s my picks:
1.) Joey & Kym, Pamela & Tristan, Kirstie & Maks
2.) Joey & Kym
3.) Kelly & Val (even though i wish its Sabrina & Louis)
AND #15 Lois I love your idea of seeing the judges dance this season!! That would be a great idea for a results show one week! And I love who you have them paired with!
Boy, I see this season as anything BUT predictable. It’s probably the least predictable season ever, when you get right down to it.
My Top 3:
Drew/Anna
Sabrina/Louis
Tony/Melissa
Who will win:
Hoping either Drew/Anna or Tony/Melissa
Who will be the 1st to go:
Lol, make it a double – Kirstie/Maksim and Bristil/Mark
1. Gilles/Peta Drew/Anna Kirstie/Maks
2. Gilles and Peta
3. Helio and Chelsie (although, I hope Bristol and Mark. I don’t think she’ll make it as far as she did the first time, but will probably last at least three weeks.)
1.Joey and Kym, Shawn and Derek, and Anna and Drew
2. Joey and Kym
3. Bristol and Mark
1, Apolo/Karina, Shawn/Derek, Drew/Anna
2. Apolo/Karina
3. Kelly/Val, though I wish it was Kirstie/Maks
1.Sabrina/Joey/Melissa
2.Sabrina
3.Bristol,I wait.. Amen
last season i put my money on the winner – i liked Donald’s smile…now..i love Shawn’s smile..so…my wishes..
1. Shawn&Derek, Karina&Apolo, Peta&Gilles
2. Shawn and Derek
3. Kelly and Val
here is me hoping for the winner…but i agree with Heidi.. this is not gonna be one predictable season.. anything can and will happen…
..can’t wait for it!!!
ps: love the poll posts, Vogue! thank you!
YW! Thanks for voting and your comments!!
1. Shawn & Derek, Drew & Anna, Apolo & Karina
2. I’m thinking it will be Apolo & Karina or Shawn & Derek but I wouldn’t be surprised if Drew, Gilles, or maybe even Joey come in and snag it.
3. Probably Bristol & Mark. With a good possibility of Kelly & Val (even though I do like them).
1. Shawn & Derek, Drew & Anna, Joey & Kym (though could be Apollo & Kym if their partnership fizzles!)
2. I am not convinced Shawn will win – her being an earlier winner and especially his three wins may deter the casual viewer who usually decide it in the end. Think Apollo, Giles or maybe Drew with enough momentum.
3. I voted for Tony and Melissa but hope I’m wrong. Think they will lose out as they don’t have a committed celeb fan base like Sabrina or a strong pro fan base like Tristan.
These polls are hard. I still think Shawn and Derek will win. Hard to beat Olympics and the Houghs. I’d have loved to see him go up against Apolo and Julianne though. Too bad she didn’t come back.
The who’s getting voted off first is the hardest. You can see the voting on that one is reflecting more who people would like to see voted off first (Bristol), but I think it’s going to be Melissa who doesn’t have as much star power.
Great polls Vogue!
Thanks!
The top 3 is always so hard to predict especially in this season. Some of these contestants may not have the same appeal as their first run on the show. Shawn is no longer that little girl, she is a young lady now, Apolo is older as well, and will the ladies still love him or send their hotness vote to Gilles, who is not with Cheryl this time but will it affect his votes or not. So may variables to play into it. And then theirs Drew who is definitely in it to Win It!
I can’t wait for this season to start.
!. Fav pairings- Shawn and Derek, Pam and Tristan, and Apollo and Karina. I almost said Anna and Drew for third spot, but I was basing it on what I’ve seen on all the clips here. (Thanks, Vogue!) I normally would include Kym and Joey, but I’ve already seen their chemistry together, and I’m more interested in the new pairings and what they can bring to the dance floor.
2. Winner – Shawn and Derek with Apollo and Karina in the finals with them. I would love to see Anna win, but I don’t see it happening with Drew.
3. Kelly and Val. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not sure either of them has the fan base to stick around. Could be Melissa and Tony. Should be Bristol and Mark!
What a fun poll! I agree with Elara38 for #1 and #2, but I really hope Bristol is the first to go. I’ve seen enough of what passes as dancing from her and I have completely lost interest in her.
1. Shawn&Derek, Karina&Apolo, Peta&Gilles
2. Shawn &Derek
3. Bristol& Mark
I’m guessing the two amazing Olympians Apolo and Shawn will go head to head for the MBT with Shawn for the win. Unless Apolo’s technique falls short, in which case I think Peta/Gilles may get the 2nd spot. I agree with John in that an Olympian/Hough combo is hard to beat, but as Heidi so eloquently stated, its the least predictable season. But even so, its fun to speculate!!
1. Shawn/Derek, Sabrina/Louis, Melissa/Tony
, Pamela has skills and Tristan’s fan base, and Melissa will likely score higher than Helio will.
2. Shawn/Derek. Between her fan base and his fan base, plus the added benefit that she’s a great technician and he’s a great choreographer, that’s my early bet. I can’t see them leaving anytime before the 3rd place.
3. Helio/Chelsie. This was tough. So many could go home first but all of them at least made the halfway point so it’s hard to imagine any going home first. Kelly has the soap fan base, Bristol is Bristol
Here are my votes. Favorites, Kirstie and Maks, Joey and Kym and Anna and Drew. Who will win, Shawn and Derek and who is off first, Melissa and Tony although I’m hoping it’s Bristol and Mark.
1.)Shawn and Derek,Apolo and Karina,Drew and Anna
2.)Shawn and Derek
3.)Kelly and Val
#1 was the hardest for me because I have 4 favorites right now.
1. Pamela/Tristan, Drew/Anna, Apolo/Karina
2. Shawn/Derek Toss-up between Shawn and Apolo, but if viewers are still excited about the US Women’s gymnastic achievements in London, that reflected glory might just be enough to give the edge to Shawn.
3. Melissa/Tony They’ll get lost in the shadow of all the bigger personalities and neither has the fan base to prop them up.
OK, now I can read the comments
1. Apolo & Karina, Shawn & Derek, Sabrina & Louis
2. Apolo & Karina or Shawn & Derek
3. Kirstie & Maksim or Bristol & Mark
1. Shawn & Derek, Apolo & Karina, Drew & Anna.
2. Shawn & Derek
3. Kelly & Val??? I’m not sure who will go first, but I think Kelly, Bristol, Melissa might all be in danger the 1st few weeks.
it was really hard to pick favorites. So many couples i love the celeb but am meh on the pro, and for others, the exact opposite. I’m a derek fan, but didn’t love him with ricki and am at the moment feeling the same thing about Shawn. Easy picks of favs – anna/drew are the only ones that i really like both partners. Personality and the pre-dance packages are going to have to work hard this year to get my vote…
1. Shawn/derek Kirstie/Maks Karina/Apollo
2. Anna/Drew Kirstie/Maks would like to see a pro and celeb who have not won be the winner
3. Sabrina/Louis
1.) This was hard. Apolo/Karina, Shawn/Derek, Helio/Chelsie. I have better feelings about helio and Chelsie than others. I don’t think they will have the best chemistry this season but I could see it working out.
2.) Shawn and Derek. I couldn’t decide between Apolo and Shawn, so I just said Shawn because her name was in front of me.
3.) Melissa/Tony
With the new season approaching I just want to extend my Thanks to everyone who makes this site possible. Your hard work at keeping us DWTS Lovers informed with all the latest news and views, just makes me love the show even more.
A BIG STANDING OVATION TO EVERYONE… BRAVO! AND THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
Awwww Sandy! Thanks loads and DITTO to all of you and your fun friendships and participations. Without you, we’d be nothing. ((((((HUGZZZ ALL)))))XOXOXO
The question wasn’t who do you WANT to win, it’s who do you THINK will win. Just sayin’. Neither Kirstie nor Melissa are realistically in the running for the MBT.
Thanks, Sandy, that’s very nice.
I think the first celeb going home may depend on which dance they perform in Week 1. For instance, some of you think Helio may be headed home after his first dance. If it happens to be the Foxtrot, he excels at that dance. He also got 30′s for his Cha Cha Cha, also often a Week 1 dance. I doubt Chelsie’s choreography will be up to ‘Hough’ standard, but it hopefully will be enough to keep him around for a few weeks.
Helio has tons of fans, who will hopefully vote to keep him around for awhile.
If celebs like Pam, Gilles, Kelly, Joey or Sabrina have a Latin dance … i.e. the Cha Cha Cha … for their first dance, they’re going to be ‘shakin’ their fun stuff’ all over the place, which will probably cause Bruno to leap out of his chair on the very first night, and may have those judges handing out some pretty big numbers right from the get-go!
I voted for Shawn/Derek, Helio/Chelsie, and Apolo/Karina. I think Shawn/Derek will take home the big Season 15 prize, with Apolo/Karina in second place.
As far as who will make the first exit … it could be Bristol, Melissa, or Kelly … or even Sabrina?
I wanted to DITTO Sandy’s comment …
“With the new season approaching I just want to extend my Thanks to everyone who makes this site possible. Your hard work at keeping us DWTS Lovers informed with all the latest news and views, just makes me love the show even more.

It certainly bears repeating …
A HUGE THANKS FROM ME AS WELL!
LOVE LOVE PureDWTS!!!
Your welcome!! Seriously though, your hard work does not go unnoticed. Love you all!
Here’s my selection:
1. Maks & Kirstie / Val & Kelly / Tony & Melissa
2. Maks & Kirstie
3. Mark & Bristol
Sandy,
Thanks for reminding us of the huge amounts of time and hard the Pure DWTS folks put into keeping this site the #1 source for DWTS obsessives like us ::LOL::
We definitely don’t show enough appreciation. So I’m adding my voice to yours and others who’ve already said it…
Pure DWTS Ladies and Gent, We’re so grateful for all you do. Thank you!
Is anybody suprised that Pamela beat 7 other couple sin popularity ?
It’s funny how Emmith and Cheryl, who won, sucked in numbers. Im not sure if it’s because they are forgettable, or because of hate for Cheryl.
Shawn/Derek Helio/Chelsie Apolo/Karina
Helio/Chelsie
Melissa/Tony face it he is the weakest choreographer they should be gone first followed by sabrina
Ditto to what Sandy & Cidra said.
Thanks to all who make this wonderful site possible.
I think “hate for Cheryl” is kind of overstating it. I certainly don’t hate Cheryl. I’m just tired of her blase attitude towards the show and her taking the easy way out on choreography. It’s disrespectful to her celeb partners, to the other cast members, and to the viewers — basically, it’s unprofessional. If she no longer enjoys her job and can’t give 100%, she should look for something else to do.
As for Pamela, I’m biased and don’t claim to speak for anyone else, but I’m not surprised she’s doing well in this poll. I feel we’re not representative of the main DWTS demographic and often tend to respond to celebs and partnerships differently than the general DWTS viewer. So while she’s doing well here, I won’t be surprised if Pamela is an early exit.
My Top 3 couples:
Shawn & Derek, Apolo & Karina & Helio & Chelsie
I think Shawn & Derek have a great chance of winning. They are very strong individually and put Shawn’s competitive spirit and beautiful technique with Derek’s charisma & brilliant choreography, well my friends you have the makings of a champion team…(Dream Team)
I have a feeling that Bristol may be the first contestant to leave. Either her or unfortunately Kelly… It all depends on the style of dance the couples are given. I think is strong at the latin dances so hopefully she’ll get that style of dance.
Thanks for the EXCELLENT work that all of you do here at Puredwts. You “all” really do an AMAZING job. Thanks for taking the time to make our experience during and off season for DWTS a pure joy!! “Smooches”!!
I meant to say that Kelly’s strength is in the latin routines. Hopefully she’ll a latin dance. I want to see her do well.
I picked Apolo/Karina Joey/Kym Kirstie/Maks
For the WIN Apolo/Karina
1st to go Bristol/Mark, though I think it could be Bristol, or Pamela, but due to most ppl either thinking Tristan or Pamela have the HOTT factor, I doubt it. I disagree on the Hot factor for both of them and hope she leaves pretty wuickly neither her or Bristol can dance.
Tony, I don’t believe Tony D. has been weaker as choreographer than pros like Maks. It’s his tame personality that does him in imo. The producers aren’t willing to put a high profile celebrity with him because they want fire and they know they’re more likely to get it with someone like Maks. I thought Dmitry was better than both of them, but he had the same issue as far as I’m concerned.
I’m on the opposite end of the Cheryl argument. I like her more now than I did earlier on. I agree that she’s burned out, but she’s certainly not the only one. If revenge is sweet, then she should give everything she has to help Emmitt go to the top this season. She has the capability and he certainly has the drive.
I think Shawn and Derek have a great chance of winning, I predict Apolo and Karina along with Gilles and Peta will be in the finals wih her. I pray that Bristol goes home first. Still think Mark isn’t that thrilled about being paired with her again.
Oh and yes…thanks to all the PURE DWTS mods for making this such a great site!!
i don’t think shawn’s gonna win again unless there’ll be at least 4-5 points gap between she and the other two finalists.
i think the best female dancers are sabrina and melissa. but they(and their pros) probably won’t beg for attention like some others will, so i think they won’t be in top 6. well, maybe sabrina will…
Gilles & Peta, Shawn & Derek, Apolo & Karina
Gilles & Peta
Pam
Here’s how I voted:
Top three favorites: Shawn & Derek, Gilles & Peta, and Apolo & Karina
Winner (hopefully): Shawn & Derek
First Eliminated: Melissa & Tony.
some problably dances my friends have found:
Apolo – chacha
Gilles – fox
Kirstie – fox
Apolo Anton Ohno Apolo Anton OhnoVerificado @ApoloOhno
LDW is finally here!!! Me? My plans are learning the cha cha again. Oh boy. Yep! Roped back into this one LOL! 1,2,3, chacha.
@GillesMarini
This season I’m making my fans help choosing the songs they wanna hear. Send ur fav music starting W “foxtrot” “notsayingitsthe1stdance”
Kirstie Alley @kirstiealley
Lord in heaven Imma need your VOTES!!! Our first dance is the Fox Trot!!!! Gulp…ugh…drive me to drink Foxtrot
1.I have about 6 undifferentiated faves, but 3 that rise to top: Drew/Anna (love Anna); Pam/Tristan; Apolo/Karina
2. winner: Apolo/Karina
3. first out – Melissa/Tony
Amazing season to look forward to
1). Pam/Tristan
Apolo/Karina
Drew/Anna
2). Apolo/Karina
3). Melissa/Tony
I strongly feel that Mark was cheated out of this season with Bristol. Tony should have been paired with Bristol. I love to watch Mark dance and I love his smile but he was cheated this season. Bristol CANNOT dance and she IS NOT sexy in any way!
Ask me tomorrow! (and I bet you will, Vogue, with another poll or something)
LOL!!
I think Giles,Emmitt, and Opollo will be the top three.
