PureDWTS Season 16 Week 2 – Media After The Dance, A Few Dances Revealed For Week 3
What a great night of TV again! Let’s get straight to the On The Red Carpet interviews with George Pennacchio….
First, Kelly and Derek! Kellie said she felt more comfortable last night, but, the mirrors on her outfit cut Derek (lol). Derek has more daring moves planned for the future. They are happy with last night’s dance and plan to work hard next week. Derek wants to work to the full capacity and not cut Kellie short for what she can do.
George tells Jacoby that he thinks the judges love his charm, attitude, and fun factor. Karina says she and Jacoby haven’t had a conflict yet and they both respect each other. Jacoby wants to keep getting better and he plans to work hard. Check out his face at the end when Karina says he’s given away their strategy (priceless). He mentions practicing the Rumba and the Jazz (does this mean they have a Rumba next week?).
Zendaya says this whole experience of dancing on Dancing With The Stars is so fun. She loves performing, the work, the judges comments, etc. George asks them about their high scores, but, Val says they don’t plan to think or concentrate on them or how good Zendaya might be. Val says to “get it” and to keep going and reaching expectations, they have to focus on dancing and working really hard (Val, that’s right. Keep this up!). Zendaya agrees.
George asks Andy what it was like having his former “Less Than Perfect” cast mates there for support last night. They talk of how they are “family”. Andy said he cried (awwww) after their dance. He got caught up in all the emotion from what they’ve all been through and was so glad they and his family were there last night. Sharna talks of the creative effort put into their dance and how she and Andy worked together. For whatever happens tonight, Andy is happy for this journey. To see George also interview Andy’s former “Less Than Perfect” cast mates about Andy and the night, see this link.
George says the judges love Ingo!! He and Kym are happy about being in 5th place. It gives them somewhere to go. Kym loves that Ingo is “musical” and can pick it up in his dancing. He loves this show and glad he took the challenge on. If they make it, they have the Paso Doble which they planned to work on last night.
George asks Dorothy about her injury. She explains about her ankle and she feels so bad about their bad performance and hard week. Tristan reassures her how he is not disappointed in her. She gave it all she could under the circumstances and that’s all that matters. They don’t know what will happen if they make it to next week. They will let the medics decide. TV Guide has an article up on this subject of whether Dorothy will continue on as well.
George praises Aly for having no fear. Aly is nervous, but, she just relaxed last night and had fun. Mark talks of when he might play another card soon. They talk of Mark’s tattoos as well. If they make it to week 3 (Prom Week), Aly says she hopes to show a romantic side that people haven’t seen in her yet.
Gleb says Lisa is “a work in progress” and he’s so proud of her!! The competition is tough, but, Lisa says they need to all remember why they decided to dance and that is “to have fun”. It’s been an amazing ride so far. Looking ahead to week 3 if they make it, Gleb wants to work on her confidence.
Sean is glad to be tied in 5th. As long as they improve each week is all that matters. He and Peta are both competitive and want to win. Sean was more comfortable this week and now he knows what it’s about. He tried to put on the best show he could.
Tony plans to take his costume home to his wife. He and Wynonna don’t plan to play it safe, but, she hopes next time (if they make it) it’s about just “having fun and the joy and feeling brilliantly” and that’s it’s not about “the steps” so much. She promises as the journey goes, she plans to get “crazier” and get into the “joy” of it more (I agree, Wynonna! Relax and just have fun!).
George says Victor has a million dollar smile. Victor wants to take it slow, improve every week, and have a good time. They’ve had some breakdowns and frustrating moments in rehearsals, but, Lindsay said to just have fun with it all and that’s what he did last night.
D.L. says, “Meet the new cast of Silver Linings”! They talk of how frustrating it all has been, but, D.L. knows it has to be so he can improve. Cheryl knows she’s a hard and blunt teacher. D.L. says he’s what this competition is all about. He can’t dance and is learning. He’s “America”. No matter what happens, he’s glad he never quit. It’s about the journey. Cheryl ends by asking, “Remember Rob Kardashian?” (sorry, but D.L. is NOT Rob K in my opinion).

More coming! Stay tuned and thanks for reading!! 😉 xx
I know it’s early for you….thank you for these 🙂
YW and thank you so much, Sheery!!! xxx
Great dances by Jacoby/Karina and Andy/Sharna. Thanks for the vids! 🙂
Paso for prom week? Guessing Aly has rumba or waltz. But Mark. another card? What cards have you used already. Aly lacks impact which I am guessing Mark may do something outside the box to grab the audience attention. Though her fan base is big enough and would vote for her no matter what.
If Jacoby has rumba, that means he still hasn’t had a ballroom dance. Not sure that does him any favors.
Thanks for the round-up Vogue!
Ingo gets stuck with Paso on Prom Week? A WTF dance choice for a WTF theme. What’s the motivation here? I love Ingo/Kym but I don’t see them as contenders. Do TPTB think Ingo is competition for Sean and have decided they need to throw him under the bus so Mr. “I’m Sexy when I’m Shirtless” has a better chance of staying until his million-dollar TV wedding?
Poor Dorothy and Tristan. I had such high hopes for this couple and now they’re struggling with this weird neurological thing on top of Dorothy’s complete lack of confidence. If Dorothy stays on the show, I hope they get a lovely waltz next week. Dorothy also has to stop apologizing and talking herself down. Tristan can work with the physical limitations, but there’s little he can do if she persists with this negative self-image.
Yeah, Cidra, it appears Ingo is getting hosed. BUT, he has Kym who has a way of choreographing some outstanding, eye catching dances. I’m not sure what the problem is here, but he’s not standing out. Yet. There’s still time.
I think Dorothy may probably be comparing herself to Kristy Yam(not going to even try to spell it)too much. I also get the feeling that she sees Aly and Zen and knows that they along with Kelly (I’m not sold on Jacoby yet)are probably going to be the final three. I also think that by getting Tristan (who is wonderful, but who ALWAYS gets an old lady partner)she knows that she is past her prime and that this experience may not be a reliving of her glory days like some (myself included) may have expected. Although I love the partnerships as they stand, I truly believe that if Derek had Dorothy he would have shaken all that self doubt out of her by now. I just remember how he was with Jennifer Grey and how despite her injury and self doubts he danced her all the way to the top. As much as I love Tristan, I can’t see him doing that for Dorothy right now.
Blonde, I agree, Tristan is a delightful pro and he and Dorothy are very sweet together, but I, too, wonder if Derek would have been more successful at shaking some of the self-doubt out of Dorothy by now. Derek is more persistent and insistent. How he got Jennifer to the MBT is still utterly amazing to me.
April 17, 2013…Season 16 I really expected to tune in long enough to see if there was anyone on worth watching, just about at the end of my love for this show. Now that D.L. is gone I’m thinking there are some moments in the show worth watching. Love, Love, Love, Derek & Kelly & Jacoby & Karina and Val & Zandia are getting some great moments. I’m impressed at the dances Val has written, keeping with the challenge of her age in mind and doing well. I think the Argintine Tango was very age appropiate and just enough different to impress. His lifts were so smoothe and interesting. The “side by side” proved to be so good for everyone. Jacoby sure grows on you doesn’t he? I know they will never allow Derek to win number four but I keep hoping……PM
