Private Members Area – DWTS Season 19 Switch Up Night Discussion
Tonight was week five 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 you like the Switch Up? How about all these exotic dance styles? Are you missing Len or is it time for a new judging panel? Do you like or hate the rotating guest judge? Lots to sound off on. Let’s hear it.
Transferring this over from the other private discussion post…our first week 6 spoiler (kinda):
So apparently Pitbull is having a bit of a diva-fit over his appearance on this show next week (and no, we’re not 100% sure if he’s judging or just performing…neither would surprise me). Apparently he doesn’t want ANY male dancers in any of his performances – dude just wants to be surrounded by hot chicks, because he’s Mr. Worldwide, dade, Mr. 305, or some other Mack Daddy sh*t. Apparently the producers are trying to change his mind, but it may come down to either Pitbull is surrounded by bitches ‘n’ hoes, or Pitbull doesn’t do the show. So if the male pros are suspiciously absent from the musical performances next week…you know why. Hey Pit, J. Lo called – she wants her title of “Most Difficult & Demanding Musical Guest Ever on DWTS” back. 😎
Hey Court…George mentioned at ABC7 that Pitbull is guest judging. I meant to add that info to my email to you this morning and forgot. Also, I think Witney and Alfonso are dancing to one of his songs (see your email when you can and new media post).
And wow to how he’s throwing a fit and being so picky. Uggh, I love his music but sometimes his ego and attitude is hard to take.
I don’t like people using one of the judges songs. Your love of a song can really influence your love of a dance, and if it’s your song you’re really bias. Oh well though. He can’t really judge anyway.
Courtney, a friend of mine was a PR person for JLo – the media reports on her are all accurate and if anything, toned down for the incredibly crazy diva behavior. It’s like she’s not a real person.
I get the Pitbull thing to a small degree – he wants to make sure he’s the showcase, and no competition for the eyeballs – but to demand it so ferociously is stupid. I’m also surprised that the producers are trying to change his mind – how many dances have just been the women writhing about, anyway? How is one or two more gonna hurt that?
I just want to thank you for the giggle last night. i can’t remember which mod dropped a hint ( a big ol hint…lol) that there were spoilers in the members only part of this site. I could just imagine the gasps, foot stomps and hurmmphs of the trolls and such having these fits of epic proportions. You know they believe you are plotting and conniving…lol. Great job tonight, but I have to say I felt like the judges were in an alternate universe. It was just overwhelming. I was glad I wasn’t the only one who thought the Janel dance was sleazy. Worse, she seemed excited about how sleazy it was.
#Lynne — “… plotting and conniving …” It’s the coven, don’tcha know.:-)
LOL to the “coven”. I love it!!
Too funny Susan…lol
Coven-leader Court here with a few more mini-spoilers to make the trolls’ blood boil 😀
*Antonio is REEEAAALLLLYYYY struggling with the hip rolls in salsa – just CANNOT get his hips to move the right way, and he wants to put his hands on his hips when he’s doing it so it looks really dumb. Cheryl’s about at the end of her rope – apparently it got so bad that she said “Look, have you ever dry-humped someone? It’s like that!”
*Apparently the “booty” is going to play a big role in Alfonso & Witney’s salsa – which may or may not go over well with the judges.
*Some of the other songs, which we’re giving you guys early:
Sadie & Mark – “Diamonds” by Rihanna
Tommy & Peta – “September” by Earth, Wind, & Fire (LOVE THIS SONG!!!)
Lea & Artem – “Sexy People (The Fiat Song)” by Arianna feat. Pitbull
Jonathan & Allison – “Back in Time” by Pitbull
O, High Priestess, you do so spoil us, and we do so love it. 🙂
Hahaha dry humping. Antonio reminds me of an ex-boyfriend of mine. Really hot, good body, and he LOOKED like he was going to be stallion in the sack. Let’s just say I was in for the biggest let-down of my dating life. No moves!
I cannot help but be happy whenever I hear “September”. That should be fun!
@Fig – The good-looking ones always seem to rely solely on their good looks to get them everything. I’ve found that the nerdy guys are the ones who usually impress in the boudoir – they work harder. And John is probably blushing like crazy reading this. 😛 Antonio strikes me as a bit dumb, too – and it completely ruins his good looks for me.
And “September” is my favorite of all the songs this week. 😎
#ProudNerd
Cheryl cracks me up. Well, whatever works. lol
And lol to Court being the “coven leader”. lollllll
Yeah I can’t look at a man that I think is dumb, or ignorant, or boring, no matter how hot he is, and feel any sort of attraction.
Nerds do it better!
I came here to post about the Janel break-up. Maybe the Henry thing has some legs…! I really don’t think Val and Janel have chemistry, although there is that episode of Friends where Joey explains that if there’s oodles of on-stage chemistry, they haven’t done it yet – but if there’s none – they are surely sleeping together. Haha, Joey logic.
@Fig – If you think about it, #joeylogic about chemistry actually makes sense – once the couple is smushing, there’s no smoldering sexual tension…cause they’re relieving it on the regular. If they look like they’re about to jump each other’s bones – odds are they haven’t released the tension yet. As for Janel & Val – I don’t see any chemistry, but I don’t think it means they’ve already done the do…I think it means they just don’t have any chemistry. Honestly, I think Val is just kinda going through the motions – he doesn’t seem to get all that fired-up about any of his partners, even Kelly. I think the greatest love of Val’s life is Val 😛
And I would say the Henry thing might have legs – but I also received a rather incriminating pic from Deep Throat the other night of Janel canoodling in a similar fashion with Artem. Head on his bare chest, arms wrapped around each other – I’m starting to wonder if Janel is just the type that needs a lot of attention from a lot of different guys. But I will say this: if I was galavanting around with Val, Henry, Artem, etc. like Janel has been, my bf would not only be furious, but EXTREMELY hurt – so I can only imagine how her bf felt witnessing all this stuff unfolding. And then you look at someone like Sadie, who also has a steady boyfriend, and DOESN’T feel the need to go hang all over every other guy around. A tale of two very different relationships, for sure.
The funniest thing about the whole breakup between Janel & her bf is that everyone from Janel to Val to their fans seems to be in deep, deep denial about everything – trashed one comment last night that was like “Janel & Val said there 100% no romance, don’t you all feel stupid now???” As if Janel’s word is fact and is indisputable. Errr, not only have they done everything in their power to convince us that their IS a romance, but the more vehemently someone denies something, the more likely they are to be lying. Liars overcompensate in order to convince; people telling the truth don’t get all wound up because they know what they’re saying is truth. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. 🙂 Plus, I have to wonder why all the Vajanel fans feel the need to convince US of something…why do you all care so damn much about what we think? And aren’t you supposed to be boycotting us or something? Cause this whole commenting nonstop thing…it ain’t boycotting. I can’t help but shake my head and laugh…A LOT.
That’s exactly what Joey said about the chemistry – if it’s being channeled elsewhere, then there’s nothing left for the stage. But I agree that Val & Janel’s lack of chemistry isn’t indicative of their sex life, but just a fact that he doesn’t have chemistry with her.
Boy, I know many girls like Janel, always needing that male validation and attention, and there’s no way that I could ever put up with that kind of behavior. It’s so disrespectful to the other party’s feelings, and no one wants to be the subject of speculation. I’m sure that for some people it wouldn’t bother them, but most certainly couldn’t – and shouldn’t be expected to – be okay with it.
As far as the Val & Janel fans are concerned, whatever helps them sleep at night. I can laugh at their silly and furious denials, protestations, and pleas. It’s so weird how fandoms generate that kind of fervent passion. I guess I’m too mellow for any of it.
Fig,
I agree with you on the speculation. I’ve always said, I’ll take the fortune, but someone else can have the fame. However, I’m pretty sure the men have no problem getting and giving attention to Janel. I’m sure it’s a mutually beneficial situation.
Yeah, we’ve had one come to PDH and tell us that Derek needs to retire and take Julianne with him. Peeps are insecure. And thanks for the hits. 🙂
I was talking with a friend of mine who moved to LA a year ago to pursue his stand-up comedy career. I am moving out there in a year for my own reasons, and I asked what he thought of the people he has met. In his opinion, he’s met many amazing, wonderful, kind, and intelligent people there – and then there’s the actresses he’s encountered. Apparently the insufferable, insecure actress trying to make it in LA is more than a cliche, at least how he tells it. When I think of Janel, that’s what I think of.
So now we are a coven with a High Priestess…lol. So what brew will you be stirring up on Monday to create mayhem and fear. Who will be voted out and used to season that brew. What trolls will come out to play?? When Val looks in the mirror will he ask: Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the best dancer of all? Will his head turn around in fear, when Derek’s appears in the mirror? LOL
#22 “Will his head turn around in fear …” Yes, 360 degrees.
:::snicker:::
Janel seems to be one of those celebs that has fully bought into DWTS and has become obsessed with the experience and all the people involved. I’m going to assume she and her boyfriend already had issues going into the season and then her being around all these new people (coughmencough) that were throwing her attention only magnified those issues.
This is terrible to say but I was hoping Janel’s break-up and her “romance” with Val would get a little more play in the media. I guess it still could after Monday’s episode airs but I could see people reacting negatively to the whole thing as the timing isn’t exactly ideal and makes Val not look that good. I personally don’t see any legit romantic vibe between them at all BUT people are going to assume and write their stories, especially now that she’s a free agent.
I also get some sick satisfaction out of watching a little bit of the soap opera unfold with Jenna involved in the mix. She and Janel are both attention seekers and can see them both vying for Val’s attention. The night of the “double date” with Maks and Meryl Jenna sent out a timely tweet that many assume was about not being at the dinner. Who knows if that’s true but it’s still fun to watch hahaha. If I’m going to have to endure Janel and Val for the foreseeable future I at least want to be entertained on some level.
I was wondering for a bit why my twitter feed was all up in arms about Pitbull and the fit he threw about dancing with only girls because of Kristyn’s dance scoop, as this was out there a week ago. Then I remembered that this spoiler came from the PM Area…so thanks for this early gem along with the many others you provide to us 🙂
