Dancing with the Stars Season 19, Week 2 – Who’s Dancing What….and When? (Song Spoilers)
Well, well, well….DWTS tryin’ to spoil our spoilin’. Those crazy kids. Maybe some knickers were twisted by last weeks spoiling?? LOL
Hey, Lea mentioned doing something with “Back to the Future” or a “surprise” for next week – think next week is Personal Story week? 😉
Anyway, here are the dances and a few songs for you folks. Derek is about as subtle as a sledge hammer with his song, and DWTS spoiled Janel’s and hinted at Alfonso’s. So, just to be contrary, we’re throwing in Randy’s too. Unless they’ve spoiled that somewhere as well. Bummed that Janel is almost certain to ruin my happy memories of “Call Me Maybe”.
Anyone else think that Sadie and Mark will KILL the Jazz?? I sure do.
ETA: We’d appreciate you not jumping the gun in comments, thanks.
ETA2: Well, ABC reallllly wanted to be in charge of releasing the songs this week, as they’ve put them all in a press release, spoiling all our fun. 😉
Monday’s show kicks-off with a spectacular opening number featuring the full cast and judges dancing to a medley of the judges’ favorite songs. Each couple will then perform a variety of dances, including the Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Jive and Rumba, to their favorite jam. (Heidi’s Note: yeah, not so much.)
Oh, and this (results show) has potential…
Judge Julianne Hough takes to the ballroom floor and will dance in a number featuring Derek Hough and the male Pros.
ETA3: Not a very good position for Janel, all things considered.
ETA4: Aaannd, probably a better running order spot than Antonio should have, when there’s a results show and no elimination at the end of the show.

These are my girls – you pick on them, you answer to me. 😀
Grrrr….
Wait I thought Jonathan was doing a cha cha. I saw a video of an after show interview with him and Allison and they said they were doing a Cha Cha…
They have cha-cha, we’re fixing it…
I’m with you in thinking Sadie and Mark will kill it with Jazz.
Somehow not surprised that Alfonso is dancing to a Will Smith song.
Can’t wait to see what they all have in store for us this week.
Fixed. I did that post in record time. Hopefully that’s the only error I made.
I think Sadie and Mark are going to MURDER the Jazz! I am excited to see that one!
I am loving Randy’s song though I think it would work best for a Tango? Really looking forward to him doing a Tango. Talk about hotness between him and Karina!
I am SO looking forward to Bethany and Derek’s Foxtrot as well! The song is awesome and I hadn’t noticed how Foxtrot-y it was.
Whatever Janel and Val do in their Foxtrot, it won’t be as good as Team Call Me Maybe from season 15. Not even close to being aa good.
[…] And hey, just a heads up. If you’d like to read on Derek and Bethany’s dance and song for Monday night (and more fun spoilers), head to PureDWTS. […]
So, with Duck Girl getting Jazz, after getting those undeserved 9s, they’re probably going to throw some 10s her way. I’m already rolling my eyes.
I LOVE that Alfonso is dancing to a Will Smith song. I love Bethany’s pants in that photo. Sadie will do great with a Jazz. Alfonso will probably kill it. Bethany did good last week but I’m unsure of how her foxtrot will look. I also am one of the few people who thinks that the song is annoying. Actually just the chorus is annoying. Same with Janel. People doing Cha Cha will probably score in the middle of the pack judging by the dancers doing it except for Jonathan & Allison maybe.
I love Randy and Alfonso’s songs. And I think Sadie will do great with Jazz too.
I think Val is a great choreographer, I just wished he would have steered Janel away from that song, not because Val can’t put something great together but anyone dancing to that song in any season will always be compared to that memorable Call Me Maybe number of S15. But what are you going to do, she’s the celeb and that’s her song.
I’ll still vote for Randy/Karina but I’m also on the Alfonso/Witney train all the way.
I doubt that Sadie will get 10s in week 2. I think she did benefit a little from going after several weaker dancers, but other scores were a bit inflated as well. She did a great job for someone with no prior dance experience.
Sorry that Jazz and Ducks is not your cup of tea, Fancy. 😉
But we all roll a different way.
I love Alphonso/Carlton. BUT I’m rolling my eyes that he’s already playing into the FPoBA connection by hitting up a Will Smith song. I love the song but I wish he would save that for later in the show.
I actually think Sadie might not do as well with Jazz because I heard they have an unorthodox jazz song, so I think it will all come to Mark’s choreography, it can go either way.
Mark’s a very good choreographer when he has a good dancer, so I think he will be inspired to give her something good.
So I just saw the George Pennacchio interviews about week 2 dances.
How does Call Me Maybe fit into a masquerade/Phantom of the Opera Foxtrot?
Unless it’s slowed down or something, I can’t picture it at all. Love the theme, I just can’t make the song fit.
I can’t wait to hear Sadie’s song. I feel like they’re going to have a country song to jazz. That’ll be hilarious and unorthodox.
@dancewithyou – On this show, NEXT week is not always a guarantee, so give it all you’ve got while you have the opportunity.
@Angela – “I think it will all come to Mark’s choreography, it can go either way.”
Flashback to Mark and his wizard hat… LOL
True @Sandy. Use it or lose it. Good point. Unrolling my eyes 😉
Yay! Always love song & dance spoiler. I have something to look forward to the next week. Already love Alfonso’s and Randy’s songs. I’m trying to picture Bethany’s Foxtrot to All About That Bass, but can’t. But hey, it’s Derek–he always comes up with choreography that wows and works despite the song. So, I’m excited to see how Bethany does. She has a good frame, based on that Vine clip I saw over at PDH and Twitter. Uh-oh! Janel has Call Me Maybe. Hope she delivers; first dance didn’t despite the hype. Lea has very good song for her Jive.
Thank you, Princess Heidi! Looking forward to the rest of the spoilers!
I think Sadie will do AMAZZZINNNGG at the Jazz. She’s the only one who truly shocked me.
I’m very intrigued to see what choreography Derek has in store for All About that Bass. Not really a foxtrot/ballroom type of song. But honestly it’s Derek he can turn anything into something amazing. GO Bethany and Derek!
Also looking forward to Alfonso and Witney’s Samba. When can he dance to “It’s not Unusual” hopefully soon! 🙂
omg Betsey is dancing to Get Lucky?? haha that sounds amazing. that will be a fun dance for sure!
Betsey’s not dancing to “Get Lucky”…who said that?
I’m a HUGE Rolling Stones fan and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see that Randy and Karina are dancing to I Can’t Get No Satisfaction. My favorite pro dancing to my favorite band with a sexy manly man. I’m just gonna die now.
Looking forward to Sadie’s Jazz, Lea’s Jive (I love their song, but I guarantee you it’ll be stuck in my head for a week), Bethany’s Foxtrot and of course Alphoso gettin’ all jiggy on the dancefloor. They gotta do that jiggy move that’s in the video.
Call Me Maybe seems like such an odd choice for a Foxtrot.
@Courtney- She didn’t specifically say it was her song in the promo video above, but Bethany said her jam was all about that bass, alfonso said his was gettin jiggy wit it, and betsey said hers was get lucky.
Yeah…”Get Lucky” is not the song we’ve heard she has…let me see if I can get Heidi to post her song…
I remember when them Call me maybe got the song and they weren’t too exited about it. Then they came out and did one of the most memorable (in my opinion) group dances. I can’t listen to that song and not thing of them. I agree that Janel and Val may change that happy memory..
They should not reuse songs of dances that become memorable like that..
team* Call me maybe (typo)
I love the team name Quack Pack. Sadie is so cute and I think Mark is going to go all out this season and do some great choreography.
Betsey will probably have some gimmicky thing again.
Not looking forward to seeing what Val comes up with for Call Me Maybe. I agree with others, the choreography won’t be on anywhere near the level as the team dance.
I’m looking forward to Monday night though. It’s great to have the show back and to hear Tom’s little comments throughout the evening. He’s priceless.
Lea and Artem also have a pretty memorable song, I think… That was Helio’s freestyle song in season 5.
I don’t really care for Sadie and Mark’s song, but this isn’t about what I like, but what the contestants like. Fortunately, Mark can create some great choreography.
I’m afraid for Betsey and Tony, as sweet and enthusiastic as she is, because between last week’s song and this week’s song, she’s already putting herself in a rut, and I don’t have a lot of faith in Tony to adequately get her OUT of it. Yes, choreographing around what she’s comfortable is ideal, but I’d love to “see” another side of Betsey.
I mean Sadie and Mark’s song is PERFECT. Hahaha. Love it! So excited!
I also really like Betsey’s song but I think it would best suited for a ChaCha because of how upbeat and fun the song is. I think she’ll have a cute Foxtrot though. We shall see what Tony comes up with. Hopefully no boas this time.
So just some initial thoughts for each one (and I am taking a guess at scores as well)
Antonio and Cheryl: A rumba could be a good one for him. I think it was Julianne that said his lines were really good but its worth saying again. Now if his feet could get the message he could be really good. My guess is 30 (8,7,7,8).
Tavis and Sharna: This man was such a surprise last week. I expected the worst and he was the complete opposite. He has this natural ability to dance and is fun. A cha cha cha could be a great one for him. My guess on scores is 30 (8,8,7,7)
Bethany and Derek: That hint….I had no clue what the hell that was at first. I was like “that’s a big guitar”. Then I read the thing and it made sense. She can dance and Derek’s foxtrots are always a treat. My guess on score is 32 (8,8,8,8)
Sadie and Mark: So she is my fav female contestant on the show. Saying that, I am having a hard time seeing that song paired with a jazz….but its Mark and if I learned anything from this show, Mark can make any song work. My guess on scores is 34 (8,9,9,8).
Betsey and Tony: So she has the perfect song. Tony should totally make sure she is dressed very Cyndi like. This is her make or break dance because I feel like if she doesn’t nail this one, she is going to go next. My guess is 28 (7,7,7,7)
Janel and Val: They got a good song…..feel like it’s wasted on her but that’s another story….and as a foxtrot? Either way I’m sure she will do well but they gotta play it smart this week because people really hate this showmance of theirs. My guess: 32 (8,8,8,8)
Jonathan and Allison: So jive then cha cha cha? He hit the jackpot there. The really fun ones are left to come (in my opinion). He can dance just needs to control that face. My guess on scores is 34 (8,9,9,8)
Lea and Artem: I hate that song. Saying that, this should be good for her. my guess on scores is 34 (8,9,8,9)
Michael and Emma: What’s there really to say but this guy is FUN. That should work for a samba. My guess is (7,7,7,7) 28.
Randy and Karina: I am the most excited for this one. I really expect a lot from him. My guess: 32 (8,8,8,8)
Alfonso and Witney: That song…..is kinda great for a samba. Adding the Fresh Prince connection, it’s even that much better. Twinkle-toes (that’s what my grandma calls him because he reminds her of Emmitt) should nail this. My guess is 36 (9,9,9,9)
Tommy and Peta: Just going to be honest here and say that even if this isn’t as good as his first dance, I still would throw a vote his way. He is pure entertainment. My guess is 29 (7,7,8,7).
In short, the upcoming show is probably going to be so much fun to watch. They all have good dances.
Love Sadie’s song, She’s Country, for Sadie. I can’t wait to see what jazz routine Mark does with it. I think it’s going to be fantastic. I can picture her in her cowboy boots and all. This will be fun.
I like Lea’s song, I just hope she can keep up with it. She’s definitely graceful but is she quick.
Wasn’t I Can’t Get No Satisfaction danced as a tango a few seasons ago? I’ll be interested to see how Karina works with it for a cha cha cha. I’m excited though.
Wow! Lea and Artem have the Jive!! That’s a step up in energy from the Foxtrot. I’m looking forward to see what this beautiful, 53 year old, lady is going to bring to the dance floor.
“Not sure about Sadie and Mark’s song, but I’m thinking it’s:
She’s country from her head down to her toes”….
Can anyone tell me if this is a line in the song???
If it is, I think Mark will create a good dance out of it.
Randy’s and Karina’s song will blow me away….I was 15 when “I Can’t Get No -Satisfaction” came out and I went to live band dances and danced and danced to it. Love the Rolling Stones. Randy & Karina will be AWESOME on the dance floor!
Alfonso and Witney no doubt will “jiggle” our innards 🙂 So much fun to watch!!
Janel and Val’s Foxtrot I suspect will show us her Ballroom ability, as I didn’t care of the Jive, it seemed too confined and too “hip-hoppy.” Val will do good with the Foxtrot.
Yes, I agree, Betsey is so much fun and has such a positive attitude. Tony and she may just surprise us with their Foxtrot.
#vin. You think EVERYONE will get over 28 really in Week 2
On Strictly Artem wad partnered with the Ringerist Ringer that ever did Ring and got 31 wk1 34wk 2 And she is a better dancer than most of the cast. Here were the wk1 and 2 scores of our 4 finallists last season
Champion. Wk1 32 wk 2 30
Runner up 1. Wk1 31 wk2 34
Runner up 2. Wk1 28 wk 2 31
Third wk 1 28 wk 2 36
Runner up 2 and Third place were FAR better dancers than Tommy who scored 27 week 1They were even better than Tavis, Randy, and even Janel.
The scores are WAY WAY over inflated
DWTS has never been even remotely similar to SCD in anything except maybe music. You’re better off comparing it to past seasons of DWTS in terms of scoring. Anything else is apples and oranges.
@#34 PH Specially with Craig Revel Horwood who gives out 2s, 3s and 4s like candy. Apples to oranges indeed.
I thought I’d give score guessing a chance. Ahem;
Bethany & Derek: Foxtrot: 34(8,8,9,9)
Sadie & Mark : Jazz : 35 (9,8,9,9)
Janel & Val : Foxtrot : 33 (8,8,8,9)
Jonathan & Allison: ChaCha : 28 (7,7,7,7)
Randy & Karina : ChaCha : 30 (7,7,8,8)
Michael & Emma : Samba : 25 (6,6,7,6)
Tavis & Sharna : ChaCha : 27 (7,6,7,7)
Betsey & Tony : Foxtrot : 28 (7,7,7,7)
Alfonso & Witney : Samba : 35 (9,8,9,9)
Lea & Artem : Jive : 32 (8,8,8,8)
Tommy & Peta : Salsa : 27 (7,6,7,7)
Antonio & Cheryl : Rumba : 28 (7,7,7,7)
I love Bethany and Derek song ” All about that Bass” and a message behind it. Can’t wait to see their foxtrot and Derek’s choreo.
I love these spoilers. Thanks for this. Waiting for other songs.
All seem pretty cool. Except for call me maybe. Foxtrot?!? I just don’t see it.
All about the bass is a great song. I’m sure derek will incorporate a 50s feel to it. Also excited about sadie. After some downloads I have watched some episodes and of course you tube. On my previous post I was asking if they are like the kardashians..and boy was I wrong. I thought it was funny that she wore a rainbow dress…. but I like her and she’s country is a perfect fit. Also alfonso with will Smith song! so cool.
Waiting to know tommy song!
About SCD and DwtS… I preffer SCD in terms of dancing. Way more tecnical. And DwtS is a dancing show in all it means: it’s for entertainment, specially from season 15…
What’s up with all these non-Foxtrot, Foxtrot songs???
And DWTS spoils the fun of you lovely ladies spoiling all the songs for us. Boooooo!
I still like it better when we hear the songs from Pure, first 😉
Here are my predictions for week 2!
Bethany & Derek: 35 (9-8-9-9)
Sadie & Mark: 35 (9-8-9-9)
Janel & Val: 32 (8-8-8-8)
Jonathan & Allison: 30 (7-7-8-8)
Randy & Karina: 28 (7-7-7-7)
Michael & Emma: 24 (6-6-6-6)
Tavis & Sharna: 26 (6-6-7-7)
Betsey & Tony: 28 (7-7-7-7)
Alfonso & Witney: 32 (8-8-8-8)
Lea & Artem: 28 (7-7-7-7)
Tommy & Peta: 23 (6-5-6-6)
Antonio & Cheryl: 28 (7-7-7-7)
Bastards. I’ve updated the post. I think we got under their skin last week. 🙂
PH, take it as a compliment!
I’m really excited for this week’s songs. Sing is such a good song for Jonathan and Allison – it’s so fun and energetic!
When did Lea hint that Most Memorable Year week is? Because I can totally see a Fresh Prince jazz for Alfonso and Witney…
Love that Tavis has Earth, Wind & Fire!
I have a stupid question. All the live camera feeds from the show, are they not posted after the show is over so we can see what was going on behind-the-scenes? I looked and I don’t see anything so what’s the point of having the live feed. I obviously don’t want to miss the actual show by trying to cut in and out of it to watch the other cameras but I want to see it all eventually. I can’t go back and see the interviews Lacey and the other man did with the couples unless it’s all somewhere that I can’t find.
Rob Wade, can you fix this please?
PH, I think Pure has set the standard for how to improve the show, and they are watching the Pure sites for ideas! Like Aviva said, take it as a compliment!
The press release has Randy and Karina’s “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” as being the Otis Redding version. If true, I kind of like it better for them.
So let me get this straight, Monday night the cast and the judges will be dancing to their favorites? And then Tuesday night judge Julianne is dancing with Derek and the male pros? That’s a whole lotta dancing judges!!!
Ohhh….I can’t WAIT for Monday night! I had about 5 of the female PaDOC Basic Training Academy attendees in my dorm watching this past week!! LOL! They loved Alfonso…didn’t know who Sadie, Bethany, or Janel were. Then we watched the results show Tuesday night.. My roomie LOVED the Keo, Artem and Allison number ESPECIALLY since Keo and Artem danced sans shirt! I said, See? THAT is why I watch this show 😉 lol
Thought my OTT knowledge about the show was odd. Told them about this wonderful website that Heidi, Courtney, Vogue, Lori and John so brilliantly write every DAY! Thanks y’all 😀
Can’t wait to see Derek’s foxtrot Choreo to All About That Bass..it’s currently one of my Fave songs too! Gives a positive body image message and fits in with Bethany perfectly!!!
Well, Sandy, it that’s how it plays out, the judges will be more entertaining than they usually are — especially CAI. Anything is better than having to listen to her. 😉
I wonder if the judges will be (unintentionally) color-coordinated again this week. For the Preimiere, CAI and Len wore black and were seated next to each other, while Julianne and Bruno wore white and were seated next to each other. I also noticed that Julianne has a tendency to stand up to make a point. So having her next to Bruno is like having two hyper kids at that end of the table.
Can’t wait to see how the couples handle their week 2 assignments!
I just read Derek’s blog at tvguide. Is he hinting that they will be using the bass as a prop? I hope so , he should create an awesome dance but I can hear crabby Len now. Hope Bethany can handle it
Derek prepares his partners for Len. He pretty much has to make a bang, with 12 contestants still remaining.
Heidi, perhaps for week 3 TPTB will post the dance order before the weekend? They are desperate not to be outdone by you. It is a testament to how good this site is, methinks.
Vajanel is starting to irritate me like Maksyl did last season.
I just want to take this time to thank the moderators of this site. You all were an awful lot of help to me last season since I stopped watching the show midway because I was so frustrated with the judges and the showmance of the year. I found myself watching and reading this site to keep me up to date on what was going on at DWTS and commiserating with a lot of the posters here. I am hoping to enjoy this season as the celebrities are all interesting and the new producer seems to be going back to the basics(at least we got back the results show).
Again thank you very much.
Ria, Be forewarned, the results show isn’t supposed to last. We’re just getting it for the first two weeks. However, so far Mr. Wade is more “Mr. Right” than “Mr. Wrong”. Hope he keeps going in the right direction.
Katy, I had the same reaction you did to Derek’s hints in his blog; but PH is right. He has to make sure Bethany gets noticed by the viewers right now because this is a very likeable cast and right now she’s the biggest unknown and has a quieter personality. Of course, we all know he’ll use the bass (or whatever) brilliantly and then get slammed for it by Len who chooses to pretend the term “double standard” doesn’t exist. Bethany is a very mature young woman, I’m sure she’ll get what he’s going for when he explains it to her.
I have more hope this season than I did last season. First off, the opening two shows have been pretty good. It appears that they are trying to be fair to all the celebs, at least after the first show. I have no reason to worry about Vajanel because right now Sadie and Bethany definitely come across as being more likable in the battle of the young starlets. I have to admit that Vajanel’s actions are making me not enjoy their dancing.
I just re-read where Lea talked about a Back To The Future tie-in to their dance and all I can think about is that they will do an Enchantment Under The Sea motif.
I have to say that this one of the first times that almost all of the song choices have really excited me to see the dances.
Seriously, Boogie Wonderland? That song gave me boogie feet when I was a young teen. Is anyone else as stoked about this season so far as me? Don’t leave me alone in my freak out corner over here.
Thank you so much for all of the spoilers!
The Back to the Future thing is NEXT week, I believe. Not this week.
I have a feeling, just a strong gut feeling, that either Michael or Betsy will go home this week. But, Betsy’s quirkiness and her song choice may save her. Michael, on the other hand….
Tavis has the best song this week in my opinion. Makes me think of Happy Feet. (Hopefully someone else has seen the movie besides me here lol).
@Nathan (post 33): I am very optimistic for these dances. Idk why I just am very optimistic about them.
Well, seeing as how they were the two next lowest scorers and someone HAS to go home, your “gut” doesn’t really have to work that hard, does it Sarah? 😉
Am I the only one who thinks that Antonio could go home unless he absolutely KILLS his Rumba? I am just still very iffy about his fanbase and he may have the soap fans but when we have so many other likeable celebs… I just always find myself forgetting about Antonio and Cheryl.
Well, I think it’s smart of tptb to come here and steal–I mean, borrow ideas from you mods. Though them spoiling your spoilers is such a bummer.
Antonio reminds me of Ian Zehring in a sense because all the pieces are there but he hasn’t connected them yet (for example great lines but feet aren’t listening and he is still seems to have a guard up). If this season wasn’t so full of really good ones, I would say he has a lot of time to work on everything but this season has some great dancers so he needs to step it up fast.
I agree with nobleze. So how do the mods feel about this spoiler attack? Pissed off or flattered?
One of us is pissed off and another one is flattered. 🙂 You might be surprised to learn which is which.
I’ll take a guess! Courtney is pissed off and you are flattered!
@Meggie – I may have thrown an itty-bitty tantrum when ABC leaked the song list. Just a tiny one 😉
Lol, Courtney, don’t blame you! You’re allowed! Also you did have a rotten day at work Friday! I would be kind of flattered though (Yes, PH!) because they are tuning in to Pure and you guys know what the real fans want! I feel like they should be giving you a “scouting” fee!
Heh…Derek gave a BIG hint as to what their song was with an Instagram pic earlier in the week…lol
I’m guessing that Betsey didn’t get the song “Get Lucky” cuz it was used last year for Bill Nye’s jazz. They usually wait a couple years before they reuse a song.
They wait a couple years before they reuse a song? No they don’t. Where did you get that idea.
Not exactly sure what this means! A singer who was a semi-finalist on American Idol in 2009 posted this:
http://instagram.com/p/tIX_zgFZ7E/?modal=true
She could be a new backup singer for the show? 😮
Omg vajanel lol sounds like a cream for an itch
I remember that singer. She was OK on Idol but she wrote a really good song for Lea Michele called “Cue the Rain”. It’s sick. She has a real writing gift.
#75 @vin
She really does! That song is great. I have loved her ever since Idol, and am interested to see what her role on DWTS will be. 😮
I am a huge fan of Lea michele and glee (I guess you can say I am one of the earliest Gleeks lol) and had such high expectations for her album and other than that one song and maybe one other that I like on certain days it was such a letdown.
[…] release all of the week 2 DWTS songs for the couples themselves. That said, PureDWTS has additional DWTS spoilers regarding which couples are doing which dances and fans won’t want to miss all of the […]
Vin, her album was okay to me! Some songs were non-events, and I liked a few.
I’m interested to see how All About That Bass goes for Bethany and Derek
I’m slightly surprised that they’ve actually managed to make it two weeks without using “Love Runs Out” (they did “Counting Stars” last season, “If I Lose Myself” in season 17, and “Feel Again” in season 16, all in week 1). I’m guessing we’ll see someone tango to that in the next few weeks.
Peta tweeted she, Val and Karina choreographed a trio for Tuesday night. Interesting.
Both Val and Karina have clips on their twitter dancing to Beyoncé songs with their partners. Not sure what for.
Well everyone was fairly quiet during camera blocking…always makes for a boring Sunday/Monday morning.
Here are my scoring predictions (Carrie Ann/Len/Julianne/Bruno)
1. Janel & Val (8,8,8,9)
2. Sadie & Mark (9,8,8,9)
3. Tommy & Peta (8,7,8,7)
4. Lea & Artem (8,9,8,9)
5. Tavis & Sharna (8,7,8,7)
6. Antonio & Cheryl (8,7,7,7)
7. Betsey & Tony (7,7,7,7)
8. Michael & Emma (7,6,7,6)
9. Bethany & Derek (9,8,8,9)
10. Jonathan & Allison (8,8,8,8)
11. Alfonso & Witney (9,8,8,9)
12. Randy & Karina (9,7,8,8)
So I didn’t know Alfonso has a baby. He posted a pic of the baby with Witney and it’s adorable. I kinda hope that we see the little one in the Ballroom at some point.
@Sam (post #80): I hope so. I really want Mark and Sadie to get that song for some reason. I don’t think Mark has gotten a song by them yet so I kinda wanna see what he can do with it given his creativity.
@TDI19: I was expecting so much out of that album and most of the songs really weren’t as good as her voice is. That’s one of my pet peeves. Great artists/singers/musicians recording not great songs. Ariana Grande’s album is the same way. One or two good ones and then the rest is all fluff.
P.S.: sorry to the mods if this convo is too off topic.
Yer getting there, Vin.
Yeah I don’t think going 2nd on Week 2 ever did anyone any favors so I don’t see Janel and Val topping the leaderboard or anything of the sort tonight. It’s funny, last season Danica and Val danced their Samba 2nd on Week 2 and I remember nothing about that dance. And also just noticed that Danica and Val went 3rd on Week 1 just like Janel. What a coinky-dink. My guess is Team CreamForAnItch (AKA Vajanel) will have a non-memorable dance yet again.
And Antonio going second to last is strange, but not all that surprising. I still think his dance is just gonna be “meh”.
@CC – I was going to say the same thing about Danica and Val going early most weeks. Actually, I think he and Elizabeth did as well.
Hmmm…not sure what to make of that though. I fully expected them to go in the latter half of the show tonight. Of course my conspiracy theory nature with this show is making me wonder if they just don’t want to be so obvious in pimping them and that will come later in the season. Or it’s possible that once they had all the contestants in a room and saw what the brought to the dance floor they realized they didn’t need Janel and Val’s showmance afterall. It will be interesting to see how their package is edited tonight.
Also surprised by Antonio’s spot though, especially having a Rumba. Is it possible Rob won’t play favorites???
Oh lord Antonio is dancing 11th. Sorry but his rumba will probably be stiff and dull.
Well it is allegedly Cheryl’s last season. So maybe TPTB want her to have a great season filled with perks.
Well at least now I know when is a good time to let my doggie out. 🙂
Val and Janel and anyone else going early is to have someone strong up against the season opener of The Voice They need good dancers to compete against the voice demographic.
It’s not just the Voice. It’s also Gotham and Monday night football and Big Bang Theory. Monday’s are a lot tougher than they were. And it’s the whole two hours, not just the beginning.
I am oddly interested in seeing if antoniobcan really deliver this week. I think last week showed he is a quiet guy but maybe this week that wall he has built up will start to go away and he can really show the viewers what he can do.
Sidenote I hope the voice falls flat on it’s face this season. The whole concept with the chairs is awesome and they get really good talent but it’s getting a little bit predictable.
@Heidi – I’m not gonna lie, there is a small part of me that is somewhat worried for the show this season. Hopefully though, DWTS will be just fine.
It’s apples and oranges comparing spring and fall seasons of dwts IMO. Or even past season as some certain shipping fans may do and call this season a decline from last spring. The competition is huge. Big Bang theory is big show and they didn’t give their three leads a million per episode for no reason. Gotham is a huge buzzed about show, even voice on decline is still tough and of course football. Also the tv landscape has changed so quickly, can’t really compare past seasons fairly IMO. Far more competition now, not just network shows but cable to internet than even three years ago. Again, some might dismiss Bethany but she is more recognizable to that coveted younger demo than other famous celebs.
Antonio and Cheryl going 11th is fine for me since they went 1st last week. I feel bad for Janel and Val because it’s obvious she has a lot of talent but won’t get much attention in that 2nd spot.
I know the show has to think performance line-up strategy, but I’ve always thought it would be much more fair to the contestants for them to alternate throughout the season who goes in the first-half/second-half instead of the same people going early all the time or the same people always going near the end.
Who was comparing spring and fall?
I completely agree Cali (#98)!! It seems that the same people always go towards the end of the show and vice versa! Very happy to see Antonio and Cheryl going 11th!
Um…we’re only in week 2. How can the “same people” always be going toward the end of the show?
Cheryl Antonio dancing 9th. From Cheryl’s instagram. She said wrong info she got earlier.
Sorry didn’t clarify. I meant historically that trend occurred. Will be interesting to see if Wade continues the trend or shakes things up!
Yes, in many past seasons there has been a trend of certain couples consistently being “first half” contestants and some “second half” contestants.
And now both Janel and Lea have been first half for 2 weeks in a row.
