Private Members Area – DWTS Season 19 Movie Week Discussion
Tonight was week three of Dancing with the Stars Season 19. If you’re not a Pure DWTS Insider yet, you can do so here. If you are, then I look forward to the discussion in the comments.
What did you think of tonight’s show? Did the music match the dances? Any big complaints or compliments? Share what you’re thinking in the comments.
I thought last night’s show was one of the best ever. All of the couples were so good. The judges were so hard on them though. Geez Louise!! The elimination was sad too. I feel like Randy was “Ralphed”. This happened to Karina last season too as you know. Last night after the show, she mentioned in interviews that her contract is up after this season and she might not be coming back. Sad.
Yes it was! But throwing out those 10’s just left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Everyone stepped up their game, even Michael!
Alphonso was robbed! Witney has really nailed the choreography in her routines. She is fresh and exciting.
Janel and Val make me sick.
Derek and Bethany, the concept was ah-mazing, but I felt that the dance was more about Derek and his achievements and Bethany was doing her dance steps and tagging along. Having said that, the dance was beautiful.
I love Johnathan’s facial expressions, he too funny!
Enough themes already!
And it’s SPOILER TIME!!! Giving our favorite readers this intel a full day in advance of everyone else 🙂 The full list of dances for next week is:
Alfonso & Witney – jazz (“It’s Not Unusual” by Tom Jones)
Janel & Val – rumba
Bethany & Derek – rumba
Antonio & Cheryl – samba (“Love Would Never Do (Without You)” by Janet Jackson)
Mike & Emma – quickstep
Jonathan & Allison – contemporary (“Dance with My Father” by Luther Vandross)
Betsey & Tony – jive
Lea & Artem – contemporary
Sadie & Mark – samba
Tommy & Peta – jive (“Jailhouse Rock” by Elvis)
Some other songs we might see, but we’re not sure who has them:
“Love Will Keep Us Together” by Captain & Tennille
“How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston (possibly the Sam Smith version, if my hunch is correct)
“Try” by P!nk
Ahhh that video was Antonio’s brightest television moment, so that makes sense. Could be a fun song, too.
Courtney’s long-wished-for celeb dancing to one of her top choices for a song? Someone’s gotta be happy about that!
I can already see the tears in Jonathan’s routine. Looking forward to seeing what Allison can do there.
It’s always a little tougher for the youngsters to have a really impactful “most memorable year” routine, as there just isn’t as much life experience to pull from. But they make up for it with their energy and fun and it balances out the emotional stories well.
It’ll be interesting to see if Janel’s rumba at all references her current live-in boyfriend or if they go the showmancey, puke-inducing route. I wonder if Bethany’s will be more about her letting go and finding an outlet rather than the sexy kind of rumba .
I’m looking forward to Lea’s contemporary, hopefully Artem is able to create good choreography for her. I have a feeling Jonathan’s routine will be very emotional and with Allison as his partner could be a real stand-out. I do like him and would like to see him go a little further in the competition so hopefully they make it through to week 5.
Antonio looked good in that video…but Djimon Hounsou looked GREAT 😀
This season has felt a bit like Christmas to me, Fig – got my dream celeb, a song on my wishlist, and the Carlton dance 🙂 Now if they would FINALLY just relent and give me “Sunglasses At Night”!!!!
I would put MONEY on it that Janel’s rumba has something to do with her bf – seems like they backed off the showmance a bit this week, maybe next week is convincing everyone that she & her bf are more devoted than ever. Cause that showmance worked out soooo well for them 🙂
Court, you need to see the interview where Val claims he was jealous that Janel kissed Kevin Hart. :::rolls eyes::: Maybe *Janel* has backed off….
So with Janel now saying they’re dancing to Sam Smith, I think my suspicions might be correct – they’re the ones with the Sam Smith version of “How Will I Know”.
Courtney whenever I hear “Sunglasses at Night” I think of this blog and imagine what a kick-ass paso it would make 🙂
Now I am gonna give some thought to a “realistic” dream season for me. By realistic, I mean it doesn’t involve me dancing with Tristan to re-enact the Wicked Game video.
Oh that’s good. As long as Vjanel is not dancing to Sam Smith’s “Stay with Me” than I am okay with it. It’s one of my favorite songs and I’d like to keep it that way.
@Courtney – I’m so sad that I can’t be in the audience Monday night when Alfonso and Witney hit the dance floor to dance their Jive to “It’s Not Unusual”. They are going to bring the house down. My guess is the atmosphere in the room will be finale worthy once again.
Hopefully Deep Throat will keep us all filled in with all the juicy details.
BTW, I love all of these mini spoilers. I can’t thank you enough for sharing them with us.
Oops! Meant to say… “dance their Jazz to”…
Silly me, I got so excited about their dance this week that I’ve already lost all train of thought.
I LURVED Derek’s routine to Singing in the Rain, but I’m with most that I wish it could have been a Macy’s Stars of Dance number to see what he *really* could have done with it.
I’m so sorry to see Randy go – I think he could have really improved over the coming weeks, but for some reason they considered him to be cannon fodder. I’d agree that he got totally Ralphed, especially having to go 1st 2 weeks in a row. I don’t recall when they’ve ever done that to a celebrity before. Forget about not being fair, it just wasn’t nice!
Janel’s jazz was too, how would Len have put it?, hectic for me. Not a fan of there being so much business going on with the troupe that you can barely see the couple actually competing. smh
I’m trying to figure out how Bethany could possibly have a rhumba for memorable year. Seems way too adult for that? Not that she couldn’t do one, just that – for memorable year? How does that fit in? Or is not supposed to, and they are just doing it for the head-to-head with Janel BS?
In any case, throwing in a thanks for the mods for providing us such a fantastic place to geek out about this show. Bless you! <3
Glad everyone’s enjoying the mini spoilers 😀 Here’s a few more little riddles that hint at a couple more…
Betsey wishes she could keep Tony in the partner switch, but in her heart, she knows that love will keep them together.
I could tell you what Jonathan’s samba song is…but I’d have to charge. 😎
Fig, I know you know these 😉
Maybe this isn’t the proper place to put this post but here it is anyway.
I hate The Viewers being the 4th judge and the way they are going to do it. It is great for the younger Viewers but not so much for us OLD folks. Pisses me off actually.
Bethany and Derek will win it hands down with the song Try. We used it at our anti-bullying day at our high school and it was GREAT!
Mark and Sadie dancing to Hunter. IMO – Not a good idea.
That’s all
lynn,
Think of it as a chance to act like a child again 😉 Hard for them to ignore the movement towards audience participation in the show.
P.S. Did you know, if we’d gotten married, your name would by Lynn Lynn. How cool would that be?
If we got married I’d be in JAIL!!!! 🙂
Just think of the older generation dancing this season. We can do it with a little help from our friends.
My grandchildren will tell you I don’t need much encouragement to act like a kid again.
Thanks 🙂
Hey…I’m not that young. I’m at least legal. My wife might put me in jail too if we got married.
Seniors are actually quite good at tech. Things like the iPad have really opened up many of them to all sorts of technology they didn’t do previously.
Or she might put you in the grave! Being married to the same man for over 50 years is good enough for me! 🙂
Actually it’s not the tech stuff I worry about. I catch it pretty quickly but having such a short time to watch the dance, judge and post. I hope my favs don’t dance first. Not that one person matters that much but I still want to vote.
Anyway much to do about nothing.
Courtney, last week was absolutely bonkers crazy for me, but I just wanted to say thank you for the spoilers on the songs and yes, I would have gotten them 🙂
