DWTS Season 19 Week THREE!! Let’s discuss tonight’s show! (Spoilers)
Looking forward to some entertaining dancing tonight. Note I used the words “entertaining” as opposed to “good”. 🙂 Again, DWTS wants us to pimp the livestream so….you can view Lacey’s Stream on our site, just click the link.
Once again, comment to your hearts contents, as long as you remember the show night rules.
- Our server gets totally hosed when people sit at their computer and click “refresh” constantly. Post a comment, then walk away for five minutes so that others have a chance…and so that Courtney and I can actually post on the site. 🙂
- THIS SITE IS NOT TWITTER. Do not post like you are on twitter. You get one warning and then I put you in time out. 🙂 We need context and content. Believe it or not there are a lot of people who don’t watch the east coast feed of the show, so they don’t know what the hell you’re talking about when you post a comment that says, “Boy, that sucked.” If you want to say “____ and ____’s dance was not good at all, crappy choreo” that’s fine. That would be context. It is good. 😀 Remember, if you post five one liners in five minutes, you’ve broken rule number 1. 😉
We start this weeks discussion with some spoilers for next week!! Hee. Next week is personal story/greatest year week – however they want to phrase it. If Alfonso makes it through, he’s doing Jazz to “It’s Not Unusual” – apparently complete with the “Carlton” dance. 🙂 I, for one, can’t wait.
Another week, another female bump and grind. I was never so happy to see the male pros with Cheryl.
Votes and scores from LAST week?? Sca-rewed! I would guess Michael. Then they make Randy go first AGAIN and tell him he’s in jeopardy?? WTF – who let Conrad back in the ballroom???
Okay, I’m multi-tasking too much and I’m missing the show. Dang it. What I do know is that they called some scary people SAFE, including Michael and Betsy. This makes me very worried for Randy.
Beautiful dance from Sadie and Mark. Loved it. Very sweet. Love Derek instructing Sadie on how not to cry because “that’s what they want, that’s what they want”
A perfect score in week three? I smell a shocking elimination in about three weeks.
Holy s#£t!! Tommy!! Love him!!
Totally love Bethany and Derek’s routine, much harder than Janel and Val,… Still don’t think we should have a perfect score in week three. But I’ll take it just to make Val crazy :-). I was concerned Derek might burst into tears with the scores. 🙂
So, the final three standing were Antonio, Jonathan and Randy….
Randy and Karina were eliminated. Boooooo….
And Court gets to cross something else off her “DWTS Bucket List” – the Carlton dance to “It’s Not Unusual”. This season is like Christmas to me 😀
Whhaaaa!?! So much awesomeness!!
Oh my gosh my life will be complete if that happens lol! I can’t even put I’m words how excited that makes me! Grew up watching the show so it’s serious nostalgia for me 🙂
I hope Jonathan and Allison survive this week. I’m guessing she can choreograph a killer contemporary routine for next week.
Oops *into not I’m.
I’m so excited for Alfonso’s dance next week! Glad to see they didn’t get rid of Most Memorable Year week. I usually complain about some stories that week but I would miss it if they decided to get rid of it.
I LOVE Julianne’s outfit! She looks amazing
Could someone please tell me (I have to wait to watch the episode because I don’t live in America) if they’ve explained how they’re already announcing the couples fate? What are they basing the elimination on today, I just don’t understand how randy and karina are already in jeapordy, before they even danced??
Wow. When did Randy and Karina go first again. She is a class act but she must be pissed at Randy having to rush like that.
I don’t mean to be a negative Nancy, but I honestly believe that Randy is going home. I knew that as soon he was put in jeopardy, he would be the one most likely going home.
So why aren’t they just using the scores from tonight and the votes from last week? that would be much more fair
The judges were so mean to Randy!! Going first again and those scores were too low. If he goes home tonight I will be pissed. They better score everyone that harshly, because he was still good in my opinion.
Someone please justify to me why it’s fair for Randy & Karina to go first twice in a row? when they have literally a minute to get changed and told they are in jeopardy right before then? Talk about trying to eff with them.
And 6’s?? Really?
I’m sorry for the negativity but this is ridiculous lol.
I give Randy and Karina credit. His dance the first week has been his best, but having to dance after being told you’re in jeopardy can’t be easy. I know he said he didn’t think about it, but I’m sure Karina did.
It’s Not Unusual is a great music choice for Alfonso. Can’t wait to see it.
I’m looking forward to Singing in the Rain with Derek tonight.
So elim. will be based on last week scores? Meaning the 2nd lowest scores, after Tavis, goes home? If it’s like that, it won’t be Michael because when he and Tavis were the final 2 standing, Erin said “although not necessarily the bottom 2…” so he wasn’t even in the bottom… I’m thinking maybe Betsey or Jonathan? I hope it’s not Sadie!
I think it really unfair to tell Randy and Karina they’re in jeopardy and then make them dance first. Loved Alfonso and little A
It sucks balls to not only make Randy and Karina dance 1st. again but to tell them they’re in jeopardy right beforehand.
So really. it’s like there was a double elim, last week. Only they waited until this week to announce who was going home
Bethany and Derek just said on All Access that they’re going last – no surprise at all 🙂
Wow talk about kicking a guy while he was down. Poor Randy…though he said it didn’t enter his mind. I thought the judges were even rough on Alfonso. Why do I get the feeling they are going to underscore everyone expect Janel and Val and their “love story” during WSS?
So the elimination tonight is based on everything from last week? So basically whoever was in the bottom 2 from last week is going home right? Did they ever say if Mike was in the bottom 2 with Tavis?
Not necessarily simply means they don’t want to reveal that fact. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it prove to be the true bottom 2 (I.e., Michael going home).
All they’re accomplishing here is proving. That the “jeopardy” is pure drama.
While I did agree Randy didn’t do that well, I think a 6 was too low. I was hoping Kevin would give him an 8 :\
Alfonso was very entertaining! He should have gotten at least one 9.. c’mon Kevin Hart!!
Anybody know who danced with Witney and Alfonso besides Jenna (or was it Sharna?) I think she also danced with Keo in the pro number with Josh Gad and Kevin Hart… she looks really familiar.
Betsey was absolutely beautiful. My goodness.. This woman is not 72.
And OMG.. Kevin gave her a 9! Hahaha. Ok I think that may be a little bit too high but I loved how happy it made her 🙂
Oh wow, Betsey is doing really good. Tony did a good job with her. She’s better than Randy tonight.
I enjoyed Betsy performance but a 9?? really. And Jules gave her a 6. Strange scoring tonight. But I bet they give Janel and Val high scores even if they are not deserved.
Oh my! I thought Betsey did beautifully. She continues to surprise me every week.
I’m sad that Randy is in jeopardy, I hope he is safe.
If it’s who I think it is, Caroline – it’s “Jaymz”. My least favorite non-troupe lurker in the history of the show.
Looks like they will be using the drama re Val and Janel’s dance change. Can’t imagine it will be anything but a set up for them getting10’s tonight.
So far all the dances I liked. And thats odd for me.
My gosh! Michael is safe?! Who’s going home?
My guess is that Antonio goes home 😮 We shall see.
Michael being safe tells me he is going on that Bill Engvall route. I hope his dancing gets a bit better though; at least Bill got sorta better as the weeks went by. Made it not that hard to watch lol
1st half check in:
Opening number – Finally something with a little class. Cheryl’s never looked so good. Whitney channeling Marilyn was also a vision.
Randy – Overall disappointed. But going first for the second week in a row and being put in jeopardy first? Heysuess that’s rough.
Alfonso – A bit more tuning of topline as Bruno said, but still dang good and entertaining.
Betsey – Great air positions, extension and arm positions. Did notice the toes in places but other than that I’d spring for a generous 8. The 6 and 9 balanced each other out of the ludicrousity scale.
Lea – Creative package and always brings it.
Courtney, isn’t Jaymz a guy though? This is definitely a girl
First of all, the opening was great! I loved it!
I feel bad for whoever is the victim of the double elim tonight. I wonder if they’ll use the “bottom two” this week – my guess is they had to use “in jeopardy” last week as to not reveal the eliminee tonight.
I think Randy and Karina were good, but it still needed… something. And I’m not sure what.
I personally loved Alfonso and Witney! They’re just so much fun to watch! But who were the girl that wasn’t Jenna and the little boy that danced with them? Brittany Cherry? I could be wrong…
I love Emma, but Michael should be in jeopardy. Bill Engvall was much more entertaining. I don’t put them in the same class at all.
So… west coaster here. How are they doing the elim? Can’t figure it out based on the posts here. Now squirreling off to Twitter to see if I can figure it out there. Any help is appreciated. 🙂
Ok to me, that was Michael’s best dance yet!here I was thinking 5s but nope, that dance deserves higher and I hope he and Emma are rewarded with good scores 🙂
@Caroline – Oh, you mean Amy Yakima? The winner of SYTYCD lady year?
Haha Sherry #37 we have Randy and Antonio in jeopardy with Betsy and Michael safe.
#40 — Wow. I don’t even know what to say. So am I reading correctly that it’s a double elim? So viewers get NO say in what happens? So confusing.
Sherry, no only one elim tonight, but based on scores and votes from last wee
Sorry hit submit too soon. So basically they are eliminating the other bottom couple from last week.
#42 – Aaaaah, okay. Thanks PJ. 🙂 So last week’s votes are doing double duty then. Interesting.
The best way to support Emma is to support Michael. I’m very proud of those two right now. He was all technical this evening. They worked very hard for those 7’s.
Was this Antonio’s best dance yet? It felt like it to me 🙂
Court #38 – I definitely think it’s Brittany Cherry. She’s from SYTYCD S10, but got eliminated first. And then she did Move with Derek. Just check out her twitter. Do you know who the kid was in Alfonso’s routine?
I really liked Betsey’s number. It could have been better, but it was cute. She is mighty flexible for someone her age.
Lea was so fun! I loved the package – “Can I drive?” “Absolutely not.” It was great! Her dance could have been better, but it was pretty solid. And the Delorean was a nice touch.
Michael and Emma were better. He is better with the ballroom dances, which I’ve been calling since day 1. I still don’t think he’s as good as Bill Engvall, and I don’t like him as much, but he wasn’t horrid.
Sherry #41, It’s kind of like a divided double elimination. It’s like a double elimination based on last Monday’s votes, but split up, with the first couple being eliminated last Tuesday and the second couple eliminated tonight.
What a cute dance from Sadie and Mark! I loved it! That was a feel good dance all the way.
I don’t know, I’m thinking Tommy or Jonathan could fill the last spot in jeopardy and I really don’t want them to leave. I’m really hoping that Antonio leaves tonight
I’m sure it will be brought up later, but it’s turning into one of those nights where the scores don’t match the comments. Raves for several dances so far, but only one 9 (which was a tad outlandish for Betsy’s dance).
Both Micahel and Antonio improved. Lovely dance from Sadie. Good man Derek.
Think it’s jonathan going home. Neither he or allison have a big base
What’s annoying me is how the scores and comments don’t match up. “Seamless”. “Best dance of the night”. And they get 8’s?? Whacked scoring
@Courtney, is that who that is?! I knew I recognized her I just couldn’t place her. What’s she doing dancing ballroom?
jonathan and Alison…….yeah that was kinda amazing. Who knew he had that in him!
Man, I’ve really been enjoying Jonathan. I hope he sticks around.
Well my grandson is loving Kevin tonight. He asked me if Kevin can be on the show every week. 🙂
Yay Jonathan!! That was so fun for me to watch. I enjoyed the choreography and it was to difficult music too! I’m so no ready for either him or Randy to leave. As much as Antonio seems to be starting to realize he needs to find the fun, I’d still trade him for these two. Sorry Antonio and Cheryl
This is why I hate how someone is eliminated based on everything from LAST week. You could not like a couple last week but really start to warm up to them this and there is nothing you can do about it. It’s just the way it goes with 1 show a week though.
Oh man, I just got home from class to see the crap they’re pulling tonight with that elim. I hope it’s a joke & there ends up being no elimination tonight.
I really hope it’s not Jonathan going home. I appreciate the fact that he really does want to be there. Also, I like how he seems to, more than any other contestant, really be positive towards everyone always tweeting them as they perform and stuff.
Jonathan could use work in frame (and I’d add feet and lines) in places but a vast improvement over last week. Good choreo for that song.
Sadie danced V. Waltz and breaks in hold are allowed on this show I believe.
@KT #52, seems they’re saving higher scores for jazz :/
SO let me get this straight… only one 9 has been given out… and that was for betsey and tony by kevin hart??
I mean, I love me some betsey and tony, but still? I suppose janel and val and bethany and derek will get some more 9’s.
Antonio was solid. My problem is that I just don’t like to watch him.
Sadie’s dance was great. I actually think it deserved higher scores than they got. They should have gotten 9’s.
I kind of saw Allison and Jonathan being in jeopardy one of the two nights. But their dance. I think their package was too down and sad. But their dance was really good. They really struck the right balance this week. And I liked the camera work – I know that’s a weird thing to say, but it was cool!
Ok so I did love Val and Janel but I can’t help feeling like they are the pimp couple of the season because while it was good, I’m not quite sure it was worth that response.
So if the judges really liked Sadie’s dance as much as they claimed to, then why was she given eights?? I am a little disappointed with things tonight. But at least they did not put the poor girl in jeopardy again.
So Janel has finally showed up to be the dancer she really is. Surprise, surprise and it will be 10’s for sure.
Predicting perfect score for Janel…which is fairly insane for week 3. I suddenly feel like she is a lock for the finals now with all those judges comments.
Janel with no dancing skills will receive the first 10 of the season even though she shouldn’t.
A perfect score for Janel in week 3? So where do they go from there in the weeks ahead? Ugh.
I think this is the second week in a row that Sadie/Mark haven gotten shortened on their scores, all that does it makes me want to vote for her more.
Of course with the perfect score. Who called that?
Puke. Sounds like scoring is sketch this week. What a disappointment.
A perfect score for Janel? That’s insane, especially on week 3. There wasn’t even enough content to warrant that kind of a score. And they’re still avoiding acknowledging that she’s a PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED DANCER. This is ridiculous.
Ok I never comment but that America dance was not that great to me. Not understanding.
I would bet anything CAI is going to find some weird thing to nitpick about Bethany’s dance even if it’s better than Janel’s.
Sadie’s and Mark’s was really cute, but is just me or does it seem like Sadie is still growing or is Mark shrinking? The height difference really stood out.
Cindy, I guess they must be making paddles with 11 for next week for Janel and Val…
Love Tommy Chong! He’s having so much fun and he can dance. Did anyone notice Peta holding her side walking over to Tom? She looked like she was in pain. Hopefully she’s not hurt.
Oh my word!! I think Tommy was born to dance. I wish he would have gotten into it as a young man, I think he would have been a great dancer. He did a very good job.
I hate to admit it but CAI is right. There is something magical about Tommy. From the moment he hits the stage I just can’t take my eyes off of him.
Janel and Val’s dance was good, but not worthy of its score. 9’s would have been good. But here’s a question – who was the fourth troupe guy? We had Keo, Sasha, Henry… and who? I continually find myself noticing these things…
But yea. Too high of a score.
So what made the routine of Janel’s a “jazz” routine? It was a nice production number, but what steps made it “jazz”?
I think janel danced rather nicely although a10 in week three gives her a tough road ahead. Then again, if they don’t give her a 10 in her dance style, then she’s never getting one lol
First time in DWTS history for a perfect score in Week 3!! So deserving!
Seriously… A perfect score for Vjanel. I just about threw up.
And not to mention, that what goes up, MUST come down. And Janel doesn’t have much more room to go up from here… If we’re talking about people who peaked too early.
Lovely, lovely dance from Bethany and Derek. I knew it would be good, but wow! So enjoyable. This is one I will watch over and over.
Tommy’s a lot of fun. He amuses me a lot. I like the relationship that he and Peta have with each other. Their dance was solid. He was good. I hope that Peta isn’t hurt – I really like her and Tommy’s partnership! Her hand might just have fallen there naturally.
It’s not that hard to get high scores on contemporary/jazz. I’ll be more impressed when they can do it in the ballroom & latin dances.
Oh I absolutely loved Derek and Bethany performance tonight. Unlike Janel and Val, they deserved all 10’s.
OMG 4 year old Derek sooo cute. Dancing to Singing in the rain
They’re cutting this real close time wise to make an elimination happen & give the couple the respect they deserve. Either no one’s going home, or they just don’t care.
PH, I agree. That perfect score has to be making Val nuts.
Awww, was Derek tearing up? I can’t imagine the pressure. Bethany did so well, ankle and all. All that umbrella twirling and doing it on time and not dropping it. I bet I would have dropped out broken it under the pressure LOL and yet, I can only imagine how much more complex that routine would have been if Derek had had a chance to do it as a Macy’s number.
I liked Derek and Beth’s jazz much better than Janel and Val’s jazz. And it will be very interesting to see how things go with Vajanel’s dance next week.
And also, Bethany’s brace. YOWZA. That looks a bit like an aircast.
Wow, 4-year-old Derek is really cute. I wanna adopt him.
Not happy with this elimination at all. Also not drinking the Jamel and Val kool aid that seems to have taken over my facebook homepage. Don’t get me wrong it was a good dance but not really in agreement about that score.
Sorry to see Randy go. I would have preferred Antonio being the one to leave.
My fav dance actually ended up being someone that actually wasn’t who I expected.
I just don’t like this decision by Rob Wade & co at all. I understand that they had to go down to 1 episode because of the network, but I would’ve much preferred to have no one go home this week and a double elimination further down the road when we’ve had a couple more weeks to connect and see different sides to all of these stars. Making week 2 dances and scores account for the elimination of 2 pros seems way off to me. I’m really sad it’s Randy who’s the victim of this. I would’ve loved to see his most memorable year/personal story dance.
And by pros I meant celebs. 🙂 Sorry about that.
Bethany has the likeability factor that Janel doesn’t have imo. Also the judges comments were all about her career wheras Bethany’s are more about her journey as a non dancer and growing up to be a woman. I just can’t believe both C bros will win back to back but it almost looks like tptb are setting that up. Interested to hear what the moderators have to say about the night.
My favorite of the night without question and deservedly so was Bethany & Derek. My gosh what pressure they were both under-Derek the perfectionist and also what this dance meant to him and Bethany came up so strong and danced with a hurt ankle. Wow, wow and wow.
Sorry to see Randy go hate the way they did this weeks elimination.
Thought Sadie & Mark and Alfonso and Witney were underscored. At times kind of a strange night of scores.
Wow, this was truly one of the best shows. I thought they were all so good tonight. The only downer was saying good bye to Randy and Karina. It was too soon to see them leave…but, I suppose that would be the case with them all.
I just watch the dances on youtube, so I don’t understand how the scoring and results work. Could somebody explain which day’s scores and votes contribute to the night’s elimination?
Val and Janels dance left me feeling like something was missing, definetly not perfect score worthy.
Derek and Bethany left me speechless, I was on the edge of my seat in complete awe of all the details he put into it. Bethany killed it for someone who doesn’t have jazz and musical background (Janel).
Sad to see Randy go I felt it was unfair to use the score and votes from last week.
Wow! Just LOVED Derek’ & Bethany’s routine! So glad they showed Patricia Kelly paying them a visit! It was such a wonderful routine! I feared up halfway thru it! So cute little Derek dancing to Singin in the Rain! Thanks Momma or Papa Hough for sending that in to the network! That Jazz routine was FAR better than Vajanel’s number…. FAR better!
Gosh..think Sadie n Mark were hosed on their scores too!
That jazz by Derek was so magical. I’m so glad that the umbrellas worked out. Great job by Bethany. Keep that ankle safe!!!
I love Tommy and Peta. What was that comment about Maks HAHAHA? 😀 Tommy is so unpredictably hilarious. Loved Alfonso and Witney too. Sad to see Randy leave, would have rather seen Antonio go. I just can’t get into any of his dances or his personality.
Erin Andrews must go. She is sarcastic. Condescending and makes very innapropriate
Remarks. She seems to cause dissent among the dancers. Very unprofessional.
They were so mean to Randy. After figuring out he’s leaving last week, they put him first AGAIN and doused with with those comments and scores.
Highlights of the night: Betsey, Sadie, Tommy, Bethany.
I wish Mark wore heels, Sadie just towered over him! LOL
Bethany and Derek’s 40 is appropriate and maybe predetermined but TPTB just can’t have the golden couple left behind thus the pity 40. That’s my rationalization for that all mugging dance getting four tens. Are you kidding me.
Sad to see Randy go. I really wanted to see more ballroom dances from him. 🙁
Oh and Julianne looks absolutely gorgeous tonight.
This was a strange night overall with the comments not matching the scores. How Sadie didn’t get a couple of 9s, at least, given tonight’s performances, I don’t understand. Perhaps she’s raking in crap load of votes but don’t punish the girl for that :/
What a weird episode. The judges started out so cruel and hosed Alfonso and Sadie (IMO) and then they start throwing out perfect scores like they were paid to. On top of all that Randy was eliminated which pisses me off! I just think unfortunately he didn’t do enough to capture the audience which is a shame as I preferred watching him to Antonio.
I’m biased obviously as I don’t like Janel personally but I really didn’t think she should have gotten 10s. There wasn’t much difficulty in the dance and not enough dancing I think. She IS musical theater though so I’m just hoping she peaked earlier. Though I am seeing more people respond to her positively online than I have the past two weeks.
On to week 4 we go!
Oh shame on me for forgetting to mention little Derek. How CUTE was that!!! So friggin’ adorable. I rewatched it a few times lol
And of course Alfonso!!! How could I forget him, I’m sorry!
I felt a bit guilty for enjoying and praising Alfonso so much because I usually want DWTS dances to have as much ballroom content as possible, but in the end not really because Alfonso just sells and performs the hell out of everything every week!! And Witney’s choreography though maybe not traditional, is not obnoxious nor defiant at all. I love them and it should have been them who scored the highest score 🙂
Wait, @Wiwin, am I understanding you correctly that you are saying that Bethany and Derek didn’t deserve the 40 and were just mugging, and that it didn’t matter what they did, they would have gotten a 40?
We heard you the first time, NH, get over it.
Lori, I think that wiwin was referring to Janel and Val as the “mugging couple”. Maybe I misinterpreted though?
Randy eliminated:
I don’t like the elimination on Monday during the show. I felt so sorry for Randy to be told right off the bat he was in jeopardy; and then, have to be the first one to dance. That’s a lot of stress on a celebrate. It’s bad enough to go first but to be told you might be sent home. Wow!!! I enjoyed the first 2 weeks results show. I thought Randy should have stayed, and Michael go, cause Randy dances much better. But that’s just my opinion. I guess people liked Michael’s humor.
I am surprised to see all 10’s so early in the season, because it sets the standard higher. Nevertheless, both were good dances; but I liked Bethany and Derek’s dance the best of the two. It seemed like Janel was doing a lot of jumping and hoping with Val lifting her up. Val learned one thing from his older brother, and that is to created a prop scene in the beginning to waist time before coming down on the floor and just the couple in the lime light.
I loved seeing Derek’s little boy umbrella dance. He was so adorable! He did a great job with the choreography for their dance. Love the specials affects of it raining, also. Gene Kelly would have loved seeing their dance. Bethany’s foot must not be healed yet. She impressed me tonight.
Sadie was robbed again. Not sure why. They all know by now that low scores drive people to vote harder.
Lori, I think wiwin meant that about Val and Janel
I was really perplexed with Sadie’s scores. I just did not get it. To be honest though, I didn’t think her Viennese Waltz was that amazing. However, the judges all said such nice things and such praising words and then they give her all 8’s? I do not understand. Maybe they are trying to make her the underdog? I don’t know.
Anyways, Bethany and Derek were by far the BEST of the night. And I don’t even care if they don’t win this season, that dance will go down in history as one of the best dances ever done on this show, imo.
My favs tonight beth,sadie and tommy 🙂 val tries too hard to make it hard choreography but for me tonight it looked messy , he needs to make his routines fun to watch , plus janel should have been good she is jazz trained . I could have seen Derek in musicals in the forties and fifties he would have suited working alongside gene and fred 🙂 im sorry to see randy and karina leave, I liked him and karina is my fav female pro .
I thought Alfonso was underscored, especially with all the 10’s being thrown around. Heck, even Tommy (whom I love) got a 10.
I think week 3 is too early for a perfect score.
I meant Val and Janel as the golden couple getting the undeserved, predetermined 40. I was mad and called it all mugging but it was actually good. I just don’t agree with it getting 40 at all.
Janel – Nice dance but overcompensation scoring. She caame off well with how she handled the routine switcheroo (but having a background in the dance style probably helped) as did Val in his words and staging. Curious it was even mentioned at all as it hasn’t been in past such instances. I’d like to think this is a new, more transparent exec producer, but can’t ignore the bleeps on the pimpage meter.
Tommy – The Jedi of Dance. I can go with that. I’m awed at how both he and Betsey have progressed every week.
Bethany – Very intricate umbrella work and creative choreo.
Painful elimination.
I hate to say this but I still don’t like Bethany…… Don’t get me wrong, it was a great routine but I still find her to be boring. I’m not Derek’s number one fan, but I watch their dances for him. I told my mom that him and Allison would have killed that number….lol
I like Janel a tad more than I have the past few weeks but it’s still not a lot
Sadie and Marks dance was my favorite by far…. They got robbed. Loved Marks glasses….. Haha
It should have been Antonio and Cheryl going home….. Antonio might be the heartthrob but I’d much rather do dirty things to randy….. Bahahahahah
I loved kevin hart,…. He did his own damn thing and I loved it lol
So glad that Bethany/Derek had the movie rights as well as the song rights for Singing in the Rain, so Derek could really pay homage to Gene Kelly and the number. I suspect that Patrica Kelly waived them rather than the producers paying for them, since they didn’t secure them for West Side Story. Thus Val had to have a different story line for their dance. I think one of the moderators alluded to this last week in one of the article/comments.
Do not like score after score not going with the comments.
Nice to see Brittany Cherry with the troupe. She got lost in the shuffle the first week that counted on SYTYCD. Her dancing the second week was phenomenal, but too late then.
I love Allison and Jonathan! So glad they didn’t get eliminated!! They are going to get some of my votes! Along with Alfonso, Tommy, Bethany and Antonio!
I think Val and Janel did fairly good but it’s not unique, looks just like the stage production of the movie I saw on YouTube. Derek’s and Bethany’s number is short but with content. I actually wanting to see more. I wish Derek can re-create this song on Macys stars. I think it will be spectacular. DWTS should definitely do that. Sadie and Mark deserve higher scores. Interesting to watch the switch up.
Betsey and Tommy are such highlights of the season. Both of them are proving that age is but a number <3
Loved Tommy, Sadie, Janel and Alfonso best. Derek’s routine was great and Bethany did it well with no errors, she just doesn’t make me smile like the above 4 did. I also really lik Leah but she did seem off tonight with several bobbles. Still enjoyed her and Artem though. Surprised Michael or Jonathan didn’t go.
I’m in the West Coast so I am just watching the first dances.Can I just say I am in awe of Betsey? I’m even starting to like Tony this season!
Of course Derek and Allison would have killed that number, Megan – they’re both PROFESSIONAL dancers.
I hate to say this but I still don’t like Bethany…… Don’t get me wrong, it was a great routine but I still find her to be boring. I’m not Derek’s number one fan, but I watch their dances for him. I told my mom that him and Allison would have killed that number….lol
Totally agree. Bethany just bores me. I watch their dances just for Derek because I am not impressed by her. It was a great routine, but too bad it wasn’t a Macy Stars of Dance thing because then, it would’ve been awesome.
Fancy and Megan so you guys dont flike Bethsny? I ask because I have 3 teenage daughters and they loooooove Bethany. And their friends too. And they make it a mission to vote. Like they must vote for her or else. It’s cute to see.
Here are my rankings
1. Janel/Val & Bethany/Derek *TIE*- Normally I don’t do ties but both of these couples killed their respective routines. I felt that both women connected to the music and really came alive.
3. Tommy/Peta- I’m sorry but he really surprised me with his routine. I love how him and Betsey dance to the fully ability and not just there for comic relief.
4. Sadie/Mark- Another solid performance from Sadie & Mark. Loved the routine.
5. Alfonso/Witney- Interesting to see Alfonso getting overshadowed by the female contestants. I think that he’ll definitely kick it into overdrive in the weeks ahead.
6. Jonathan/Allison- His best performance so far. There was a lot of technique and I loved the song choice.
7. Lea/ Artem- Not my favorite routine of hers. She was a bit stiff in some of her movement.
8. Antonio/Cheryl- Another person who improved this week. Glad to see him come out his shell and having fun.
9. Betsey/Tony- I love Betsey and Tony’s partnership. I think she may go home next week though.
10. Michael/Emma- I feel bad ranking towards the bottom, but everyone for the most part step up their game.
11. Randy/Karina- Didn’t expect him to go home so soon. However, last week and this week’s performances were disappointing and lackluster imo.
Oops I forgot to mentioned that Alfonso and Whitney definitely deserved higher score than 8’s.
Okay guys. It’s a little nuts I know, and a little OTT. But….I did it anyway. I did like the full-on AMERICA dance, it’s one of faves from WSS. Props to the troupe members and Janel’s acting. But, I took some art paper, cut it into an arch then draped it over my TV and blacked out the troupe. You take away the production portion of that dance, and it’s not as exciting. It’s still a good dance, but not necessarily 10 worthy.
I like that Derek continues to keep his production numbers more about props and the celeb than having the entire troupe perform. But, I didn’t think it was 10 worthy either but maybe that was due to all the hype.
Loved the moment with Mrs. Kelly and the 4 y.o. Derek was 10 worthy as a stand alone. I do agree–we are in for a shocking elim. Bethany, Janel or Sadie for the ladies and Alfonso for the men. Bummed Randy went home!
Final thought, Leah looked pitiful tonight IMO. Totally uncomfy. Seemed off the count too. Artem’s choreo pretty much sucked IMO.
Vogue–the video link worked from home. Need to have a chat with my boss! LOL
I liked Sadie & Mark’s dance the best. I didn’t get the 10s for either of the other couples. I also really enjoyed Alfonso/Whitney (as usual). Lastly, I thought Lea looked fantastic.
Both of my man crushes are gone. 🙁 First week I have watched live. Thought the dances were short on You Tube – live they seem even shorter. Liked Sadie, Tommy, Alfonso, Bethany and the opening number.
Lol #PH – I just said that to mean that I liked the routine despite the fact that Bethany doesn’t interest me.
134 #jbwalk – I hate to say that it’s my age even though I’m not that old, but she hits younger generations and that’s fine…. She seems very sweet but I just haven’t connected with her yet.
#108 I’ve done a complete 360 on Erin. She makes the upstairs hop and her questions seem to be on the fly versus comments coming from her ear piece. Additionally, I think the pros are much more lose with her around. She just seems super quick on her feet, and she and Tom are becoming a good team.
I didn’t like the scoring tonight. Sadie and Alfonso were under-scored and Janel and Bethany over-scored for week 3. I wonder if Len was there were there have been two perfect scores?
Both truly inspiring but realistically how far will Tommy and Betsy be able to go? How long will Bethany’s ankle hold out? Lacey was saying that the injury is concerning as it week 3 and eventually it will get more demanding. yikes!
Gotta say I liked all the dances this week but agree that Randy’s was the weekest. Don’t agree with Betsy’s score I thought she did wonderful, go Kevin Hart!! Must say loved Janel and Val (what??) and wow wow wow to Bethany and Derek. Sadie and Mark and Lea and Artem very honorable mentions!!
Something is missing this season. I know – Meryl and Maks!!!! Yes, there is talent on season 19 but not like season 18. It was very special. Even in week 3, I still cannot chose a couple to give my votes 2.
My only complaint for tonight’s show was how they handled the elimination. Tptb needs to work on this. I didn’t appreciate them having Randy dance first again second week in a row and after telling him he was in jeopardy.
I agree with Princess Heidi that week 3 is too early to have perfect scores from all judges. They couldn’t have scored Bethany and Derek lower than Janel and Val. While I think that the latter pair’s routine was good, Bethany and Derek’s was cleaner, looked simple but actually had very intricate details, and the set was perfect. I’m not sure about Betsey’s 9; sure she did pretty well but not 9-worthy, I think. Sadie’s score should have been higher; Alfonso’s as well. Michael definitely improved. His waltz was sweet. Tommy was elegant and he totally owned that AT. Artem has to do something about Lea’s posture. Bothered me a little but she performed well the routine that she was given. Trying hard to remember Antonio’s dance. Was it waltz? Jonathan ad Allison redeemed themselves. Great support from Jonathan and Mark for Allison. Loved Cheryl in the opening number. I look forward to the switch next week, but I’m not so interested in voting, after what happened last season. Maybe I’ll change my mind. Thank you to all the mods!
I was a bit critical of Bethany last week, but I loved her this week. She opened up and showed us more of her sweet personality and I thought she nailed that dance. If she continues at that pace, she’s a contender IMO.
I also loved both a Tommy and Betsey.
The judges brought me down though. If they continue to behave like that, I’ll record the program and fast forward through their BS.
What a fun night!
My favorites tonight:
Bethany/Derek – Bethany did amazing tonight. I thought she really sold it and i felt like I was watching a clip from a classic.
Janel/Val – Given the production drama, I really enjoyed the performance and what they did in 2 days.
Sadie/Mark – Loved the choreography and she did a great job executing. Just a lovely, exuberant girl.
Tommy/Peta – Because he’s Mr. Entertainment. He moved so well and was so smooth.
Bummed about Randy and Karina but there’s a lot of personality and dancing competition.
this season.
I love that every week is a reset button. Alfonso and Witney need to maintain and recapture week 1 momentum. I never watched the Fresh Prince show but I’m looking forward to the famous dance he does.
Watching the videos now, I have to say that both Bethany and Janel were overscored. I’d put them on par with Charlie’s jive from Week 3 of last year; I’d’ve been OK with say a 36 or maybe even a 37, but not a 40 in either case.
Of course, it would have helped if they didn’t give Meryl and Maks a 39 for their foxtrot Week 3 of last year. . . .
I feel like I missed something. This is suppose to be wk 3, what’s with all the “perfect scores” for those “not so perfect” performances? Seems like each couple is being judged differently. Comments to the pros are also inconsistent. And what was up with the producers telling Val and Janel their dance “couldn’t resemble” the original movie version? Obviously Val didn’t CARE because most of the routine was “right from the movie”. That’s new content? That’s origional? REALLY? I DON’T THINK SO! Then they butcher Allison & Jonathan because of they’re “elbows”, Alfonso & Witney for shoulders, and Besty & Tony for not pointing her toes? If they’re giving these “perfect scores” to the young girls who have a HUGE internet following just to draw a younger audience then I get it, but don’t insult my intelligence with the “favouritism scoring”. You know that’s BS. Why bother having professional dance judges if the “deck is stacked” anyway?
I really feel sorry for the teams who are working soooo hard to get it right and look good when they apparently won’t get a fair chance, from the judges, which influences the home viewers vote.
I’ll keep watching but it’s not looking like the teams who should get props for their routines will ever unless the “”favorites” really screw up at some point. Kind of agree with # C’s rankings EXCEPT for #1 Anyone can copy choreography from an old movie & copy the staging (Val) and of course Derek was awesome but I thought we were judging the STARS performances too. Neither should have gotten perfect scores. #4 Sadie & Mark – cute routine BUT watch it again, Sadie who I agree is cute, looked so stiff (like a stick figure skipping around). Peta & Tommy’s tango and Allison & Jonathan’s tango (to that song especially was AWESOME) were their best yet!
I have to admit that I hadn’t connected with Bethany before I watched the Badie vid. I thought her personality really shown there and clearly she is very comfortable in that setting. I’m still waiting to feel that connection between Derek and her but thought they were excellent tonight. Derek always puts his partners first and will make her shine like tonight. Their dance was such a tribute to Gene Kelly and cemented Derek’s status as the rightful heir to him.
Sadie and Mark were better than 8s. Not sure what the Sadie deal is, first they put her in jeopardy (LOVE Derek’s comments to her, so caring) and then IMO underscore them.
Tommy is the biggest surprise of the season. Really thought that when they announced that partnership that Peta was one and done. He is stealing the thunder from a lot of people and we are seeing a side of Peta that is really fun and relaxed. Betsey, kudos for being 72 and dancing like that but not sure she’s going much further. Michael, I don’t get it, he’s no Bill E. Sorry but I don’t find him endearing, funny or a good dancer. Antonio’s personality is a bit of a turnoff and he’s not very good. Loved seeing Allison and Jonathan come back. Alfonso was also underscored IMO. Val and Janel, honestly I remember nothing of their dance, just that it was a production number. Unlike Derek & Bethany who danced only with a prop, they had a mini Broadway number for Janel to showcase herself. Last year I felt like TPTB wanted a Maks v Derek final (and they got it) and I’m beginning to think this year they want Zendaya 2.0, Val v Derek. I’m hoping for a surprise Vajanel elimination but think they have too big a fan base (PLL & Fam) and will reach finals. Not Lea’s best dance but at least I remember it. Randy, he got shafted but once they put him in jeopardy, had him dance first, those judges scores and comments, the writing was on the wall.
ok so Overall I loved the show sad to see Randy go! Alfonso & Sadie have were robbed again! Fons had the worse Quickstep song but somehow Witney made it work! And let’s be honsetl no other male celeb would be able to pull that off! And CAI calling Witney out on the 10 second rule was bull crap she needs to go ! Sadie was robbed so much “best dance of the night” yet she was scored an 8! Janel’s dance was not a jazz number I’m a jazz dancer let me tell you like Julianne said she belongs on Broadway….. I thought the samething the content in these past seasons have been problems but they only call out certain numbers! Derek and Bethony’s dance was the same I feel like no one deserved 10’s this week!
As a Quack Pack member, I wanted to say that I really appreciated both Val (“Don’t trip, don’t trip” on stage) and Derek (“That’s what they want. Don’t give it to them”) being supportive and trying to boost Sadie up with the whole “in jeopardy” thing last week.
I saw a question about who was Alfonso’s mini me. That was J Freeze (Anthony Naylor). He was featured in the season 10 auditions of SYTYCD. Loolhim up on YouTube cause this kid has got some moves.
Overall a great show. Tommy was fantastic and Michael was well improved. After Janel and Val got a perfect score, I knew we would see another one with Derek and Bethany. I felt bad for Val to have planned out a dance and start teaching it…only to be told you can’t do that and have to start all over again, stinks.
Loved the moments with Patricia Kelly.
Great show and great dances. I think they are trying to crack Sadie for some reason. Loved Derek’s comments to her.
I was sad to see Randy and Karina go, hoped it would have been Antonio and Cheryl. Starting to dislike him for some reason, I also don’t think Janel’s and Val’s Jazz was really Jazz, so didn’t think it deserved the perfect score.
And ow Derek was totally tearing up after their dance! Best dance of the night in my opinion.
Not sure if 10s were worthy of week 3 either, but I actually thought Bethany’s routine was quite flat. This week seemed to be all about Derek and very little about Bethany. She did what she was supposed to do well, but most of it was a bit slow and stomp-y for me. If there was a predetermined 10, I feel that it was this one. Perhaps it was both.
LOL Gussie. I don’t think so. I don’t miss Meryl and Maks in the least.
Other than the hosing of Randy and losing Karina too soon I thought last night was a great show.
Warm Fuzzies-
Sadie and Mark-I had a goofy smile on my face from beginning to end. Wonderful choreography by Mark! Sadie looked beautiful in hold!
Bethany and Derek- This actually made me cry. In a good way! For Derek because he got the opportunity to live a dream and he did it amazingly. For Bethany because IMO she was actually under more pressure than Derek. A non-dancer has to perform an homage of an iconic dance, with an iconic pro to an iconic song! Gee, no pressure! with a bad ankle no less. She was incredible!
Thank you Derek and Bethany for that dance.
Wowwy, wow wow!-
Tommy and Peta- Good God, I found him sexy! He was so smooth and strong.
Betsey and Tony-She was graceful, vulnerable and lovely. I like how Tony takes care of her.
Alfonso’s middle name is fun- Seriously, it is! Look it up in the DWTS dictionary!
I loved Janel’s dress. She looked like Rita Moreno.
LOL Gussie. It’s funny, my neighbors think this is the best season in a long time and they were Maksyl fans. Ahhh, memories…how quickly they fade. 🙂
I think when you have a Gene Kelly song, and Gene Kelly’s widow giving Derek very, VERY nice gifts…and then consider that it’s *Derek*, whose last homage (to Fred Astaire) won him an Emmy…it can’t help but be more about Derek than it is about Bethany. The whole week was structured that way. And honestly, another pro in Derek’s shoes would have probably saved “Singing in the Rain” for a production number guaranteed to get himself another Emmy nomination. I actually think that Derek made a rather large sacrifice for Bethany – he knew what he could do with that dance, either with pros or with a celeb partner. He used it on Bethany because he knew it would be successful.
Honestly, I’ve been waiting YEARS to see him do Singing in the Rain and I would have preferred that he do it to it’s full potential – but I loved what we got and I have to give him props for doing it with Bethany.

[…] DWTS Season 19 Week THREE!! Let's discuss tonight's show! (Spoilers) […]
#141 – Agreed. I’ve always liked Erin, but seeing her live at the show last week — that woman is a serious professional. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. (And sorry mods for continuing to beat a dead horse… just wanted to throw that last tidbit in there.)
I think I can sum up last night by saying that the couples in the latter half of the show were (in general) over-scored, while the couples who went in the first hour were generally underscored. I’m most annoyed over Sadie only getting 8s (what?!) and Tommy’s 34. Yes, he’s good for someone his age and I realize the only reason he scored that way was Kevin’s crazy 10, but still, it gives them an advantage over couples like Sadie/Mark, Jonathan/Allison that they don’t necessarily deserve. IMO, of course!
Oh, and Alfonso/Witney — just further illustrates my point in #162. Really? With his precision he gets a 32?!
Princess Hiedi that write up about Derek & Bethany you’re AWESOME that’s all!!!
Does anyone know how the elimination worked? If they were taking the scores and votes from last week (combining the judges scores from last night) wouldn’t the same people be in jeopardy? No one in jeopardy from last week as in jeopardy this week were they? I can’t imagine Micheal’s judges scores this week miraculously put him in the “safe” category.
Maybe because I have older boys, I am having a hard time connecting with Bethany too – I was re-watching her just now and when they were commenting on other couples and she just looked kind of unhappy or maybe pain?
Jeopardy is just jeopardy – it doesn’t mean they were actually in danger. It doesn’t mean they were in the bottom three.
