Dancing with the Stars Season 19, Week 6 – Who’s Dancing What….and When? (Song Spoilers)
It’s Pitbull week! Except not really…oh wait, I know! It’s Latin week! Nope, not really that either…hmmm. Who the hell knows what the theme of this week is supposed to be. Some couples are dancing to Pitbull songs, but not all of them; and we’ve got a few ballroom dances peppered into a bunch of Latin dances…oh, and one lone jazz. A little something for everyone, I suppose.
I could see Jonathan making a bit of a comeback this week, since jazz seems like it would be right in he & Allison’s wheelhouse; Mike is likely pretty screwed with the Argentine tango. Tommy could go either way with the foxtrot – it’s his first “true” ballroom dance, so it will be interesting to see how he fares. At the top of the leader board? I’m guessing Janel gets rave reviews for her samba, regardless of how good it actually is, because they need her to have a comeback week; I think Sadie will unfortunately be back to getting low balled after finally getting the scores she deserves last week. Ditto for Alfonso – I fully expect him to get nitpicked to death AGAIN, and if he & Witney are going the route I think they are with their salsa, they could be taking a big risk…so I’m bracing myself for the most harsh critique they’ve had yet. Bethany? One big question mark…this will be her first “intense” dance, which could work for her or against her.
Heidi is currently traveling and has limited computer access, but she wanted to make sure this went up for you guys 🙂 She should be back later tonight with more intel…
ETA: I’m Baaaackkk! With Lea and Artem’s song – and no, it’s NOT the Iggy Azalea version. I also wanted to add that I’ve been rewatching the show and left something out of my numbers post that I wanted to mention. I REALLY appreciate and love how the dancers in the sky box are wearing little tribute costumes to one of their cohorts from time to time. This past week they were all wearing dreadlocks after Tommy’s dance, and this was after they were all imitating Tony after his audition tape was shown. The previous week they all had beards and duck calls. They show a lot of camaraderie with each other that is fun to watch. Which makes the judges and their behavior that much more dreadful. ~Heidi
ETA2: Lots of complaining by Derek fans about his and Beth’s song. Chillax, people. Of all people, he can handle it. And if it doesn’t work? Well, it happens. Jonathan? Much harder to tell how that’s going to go. 🙂 Oh, and if you scrooooooll down, you’ll see Derek and Beth had a special visitor in their rehearsal. ~Heidi
ETA3: We think we know who sings Antonio’s song, but we’re not 100%. Be sure to tune into our Live blog tonight for some potential spoilers for next week. 🙂

Some more not-so-subtle clues from Alfonso & Witney…
Loading
Oooh @therealalfonsoribeiro … dat booty tho #DWTS #TeamWitfonso @witneycarson
Bethany will be in Australia for 2 more days while Derek is coming back today I think, or he’s already back. I don’t know how she’s gonna make it, what with missing 2 days of rehearsals plus being jet-lagged as hell.
Could it be??? A theme week that forgot the theme??
I don’t know what they’re trying to do this week, because I can’t believe they really don’t have a theme. I thought I heard Tom say something about “Latin Week” this week, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, TPTB have always been pretty good at taking several differently shaped pegs and hammering them into round holes, and then saying, “SEE??? THE THEME WORKS!” only it doesn’t.
Bethany is going to have a rough time of it. Sounds like they will have the least amount of rehearsal time plus the dance is intense. She is always smiling. I can see the judges being very hard on Tommy, Michael, & Antonio. With the low scores last week I wonder who can over come them. Looking forward to reading the numbers post 🙂
I think Beth will do fine.. She’ll most likely only miss one day of rehearsal cause Australia is a day ahead. She’s probably gonna leave sometime tonight (Friday in Australia). Knowing Derek, he’s got her prepared.. and she was intense last week during hip hop so I think that’ll help her. Derek choreographs amazing Tangos so I have no doubt, even with limited rehearsal time that they will do a great job.
Good group of dances but I really wish there was a paso too 🙁 . Anyways, just my score guesses:
Janel and Val: (9,9,9,9)
Jonathan and Allison: (7,8,8,7)
Bethany and Derek: (8,9,9,9)
Alfonso and Witney: (10,10,10,10)
Lea and Artem: (9,8,8,9)
Michael and Emma: (7,7,7,7)
Antonio and Cheryl:(8,8,8,8)
Tommy and Peta: (8,8,7,7)
Sadie and Mark: (9,8,9,8)
Good god What I would give to see a good Argentine Tango
I hate that “booty” song by Jennifer Lopez..I hope that Alfonso and Whitney do good because they are the couple who I want to be in the finals and win..I don’t want them to keep taking steps back.
Oh please tell me Alfonso and Witney are not going to twerk in their routine…D: I am so against twerking now a days. It was funny about a year ago, now it’s just annoying and not even fun at all. Oh and boy do I hate that “Booty” song. Grrr…
I hope this is a comeback week for Bethany after having had two sorta “bad weeks” in a row (in terms of their scores, anyways). I at least hope she gets some 9’s because I have a feeling she’ll actually be really good at the Tango. Fingers crossed.
She said herself she’s stressed about not having enough time to rehearse. Hopefully she’ll pull it through.
Nathan, I’m with you. Sad the only AT this week goes to the less capable dancer but hopefully we’ll have AT in next weeks.
I’m sure Sadie will be fine with rumba. I think Mark will take the route he did with Chelsea Kane. Hopefully, they won’t lowscore them this time. Who am I kidding, they probably will if Bethany is any indication.
I’m happy Tommy has foxtrot, but it really could go both way. I hope he does well.
Antonio has another dance that requires hips movement, so not expecting a lot…
I’m excited for Derek’s tango, I really love when he does those. I’m sure Bethany will be fine. I agree with Mindy, she was intense for her hup hop.
I wish Alfonso had a tango too, but I’ll take the salsa, Witney will probably have a fun dance under her sleeve.
I’m not sure about Lea. Let’s hope she won’t be over the top like she was for her jive.
Well another latin dance for Janel so she can keep the sexy on, I guess. I’m really excited for Jonathan jazz. Perhaps he can save himself if he does good on monday.
Did anyone else see Janel’s instagram pic of her and Val getting all sexy? What a surprise. She said it will be the sexiest night of the season. I guess they think it is working for them. I wish they would just stop it and have fun and just dance.
I can say right now im really terrifed that this might
Be one of the worst or could be best you never know weeks
For Bethany. Going to Australia was not a good idea she should have
Canceled. The judges are always hard on her too. Plus her fans are
Promoting her music and etc and i dont know how much they are voting. She could
Be in danger soon..
Cant wait to see the other dances hope Alfonso
Doesnt get scored low again or sadie love them all
#11’Carolyn, just saw that IG pic. Good grief, why does she think we are interested in watching them like that. She is more of a one trick pony than any other contestant. I really wish the producers could realize this is turning into a big stinking farce.
I have nothing against Janel. I don’t think she’s a mean girl at all, just over-acting 🙂 What I hate is the way tptb pimping the heck out of them. I watched her interactions with Bethany and Derek, etc behind the scene (they were drawing) and I think if she would have been partnered up with Derek she won’t act the way she is now, I guess. Maybe it’s the pressure to win for whatever cost by the Fam. Maks said to her she’s their lucky charm.
A few more spoilers posted in our private members area 😉
What no paso? Of all the people to do an AT it has to be Michael. Really? I would rather see Alfonso or Sadie or Janel or anyone do an AT. And did anyone notice that for the first time (other than switch up) Bethany and Janel DO NOT have the same dance style? Interesting. It will be interesting to see how Mark handles a Rumba with Sadie. I think he can handle the task of making it age appropriate with enough content. Bethany traveling with such an intense dance this week may hurt her. We’ll see how it goes. I wonder if they will spring a surprise Double Elimination on us and the stars. Hmmmm. I guess only time will tell.
I wonder if perhaps they’re trying to make Janel the female eyecandy for the season, just like CIA tried to say Antonio S Jr was the male eyecandy, in which case it’s not working out for either of them. IA with #14-Thiana that Janel is probably a bit overacting (I’m guessing with some encouragement – definitely not from this site though lol). She seemed very sweet drawing with Bethany and I would prefer to see a softer side to her rather than this sexpot/eyecandy thing they’re trying to make happen. Sexiness is natural, not forced. I’d like to hope I’m wrong since I do like her on PLL and Val.
I’m not a fan of Pitbull so this could be a very look episode if multiple people dance to his music. Although Timber is alright (by the saving grace of Kesha). Not sure any of the dances really match it though.
Oh brother! Access Hollywood Live is giving Janel and Val a lie detector test to see if they really have relationship beyond the dance floor. It’s silly. She was asked if she has romantic feelings for Val. She says No. She was telling the truth. But Val says he has romantic feelings for Janel. They say they are not dating. Truth. They have never kissed on the lips. Truth. It was camera angles.
I actually do not see any romantic chemistry between the two. Not even on the dance floor. I think Janel is just a good actress. She says she comes from musical theatre which seems perfect for her like in the America dance. She’s not my favorite, but I like her because she’s from Hawaii! I’m hoping that she’s really a nice girl from Hawaii!
Val even admitted that Meryl and Max was all an act too.
I’m sure Vogue will post the video if not already.
@CC, I agree with you. If they had a hard dance like samba, I would be worried, but I think she can pull off tango even with th traveling.
Gross! I’m so so tired of TPTB SHOVING Janel an Val in our faces. That Instagram pic was SO not necessary! Obviously she ain’t pullin in the votes and think a fake romance is gonna get people to vote for them. Puhleeze! I am SO over them!
Why would Bethany schedule a trip abroad while competing on DWTS? I can see going to NYC or across the country but not across the world. Just my opinion.
It also seems like a lot of people are over the whole “Vajanel showmance”. I saw a lot of people in the comments saying how they are playing the sexy act too far and they should just dance!
I am just getting more and more convinced that they’ll be that “surprise elimination” on Week 8 or so.
Well Janel’s BF(ex) just posted on Instagram that they are done and over as of today. That’s causing a stir.
Normally I don’t weigh in on the who’s breaking up with whom news, but I found my reaction to the news somewhat indicative of my reaction to just about everything associated with my (formerly) sparkly dance show: I’ve become such a cynic that my first thought was “is it real or is it a faux break-up to give the showmancers more room to work?” If it’s real, I guess dude finally grew a pair (in which case, I say, good for him).
@Cindra I don’t normally follow or care either when it comes to celeb love lives, especially with all the showmance stuff on this show. But it’s causing such a stir on social media that it was kind of hard to ignore. I’m not weighing in one way or the other but there is some serious shade being tossed on Val and Janel at the moment.
I just saw that on twitter about their break up, too, however I’m curious, because he’s still kept her in his profile pic as of now… I thought something was up when two days ago I went to see if they were still together (just out of curiosity because of the showmance), and this was the first week he wasn’t supporting her on social media. Awfully convenient timing.
Wow on the Janel/Payson break up. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like it was Janel’s idea from the wording on the Instagram post. Anyway, I hate Witney & Alfonso’s song. Why they got to be do rude and make us listen to that? 😉 I hope this is Jonathan’s break through week. Jazz seems suited to him and Alison. Glad to see some Tangos and salsas.
@Kelly, I’m thinking it was a pre-season obligation.. it was probably already scheduled before DWTS started. But, it looks like they’ve made it work, haha 🙂
Hm interesting dances for a lot of the couples. I think there could be some surprises both good and bad.
Even though I don’t expect them to be the best of the night but I already see the judges going gaga over Janel and Val. If Len was there I would have hope that he would call her on her bad legs and not finishing her movements. They didn’t love her last week so this will be her “comeback”. I really don’t understand Val’s strategy though…why they pushing this dance so hard as their sexiest yet? You think they would do that for the Rumba. Especially after what happened last week with the fan reaction to burlesque as well as everything going on in Janel’s personal life you think they would cool it. Let them dig their own grave though.
I’m looking forward to Alfonso, Beth, and Sadie and want to see how Lea handled the hip movement. I’m crossing my fingers for Tommy and Jonathan also!
I just decided a theme week I’d LOVE to see, and the way they’ve designed the show lately, it’ll probably end up a HUGE challenge for some of the pros.
Ballroom week. Strictly ballroom. No jazz, contemporary, hip hop, anything else they’ve thrown to the pros, or Latin. Lots of foxtrots, Viennese Waltzes and Standard Waltzes, and quicksteps. No costuming for the ladies that look like they’ll fall off in either direction. No see through costuming. I’d love to see Classy Week instead of Trashy Weeks.
ITA, Lori! Wouldn’t it be awesome if they did the ballroom dances wearing the gowns they use in competitions? I still remember the beautiful dress Joanna Krupa wore for her viennese waltz. It was enchanting.
@Lori & machane…
I agree with you. I also would love to see more Ballroom, especially Latin dances and in a costume that is more traditional for the dance. A dance can have sexiness in it with out the skimpy costumes, especially so low cut it looks like the puppies are going to come out of confinement. 🙂
I agree with @Lori also. Well stated.
Brava Lori!
I’m finding myself nostalgic for earlier seasons of the show when it was all ballroom with a smattering of Mambos and Salsas. I almost feel like the show has moved on without me. I don’t want to feel this way. I love this friggin show!
I’m not too optimistic about Monday’s Pitbull/Latin Night. Last season’s Latin Night was my least favorite theme week.
@Susan2 – Even putting the Latin night theme aside, a night of Pitbull stinks.
I don’t mind the mix of dances at all – some of my favorite dances have been contemporary, jazz, or odd style. That’s not to say that I don’t like the ballroom – I absolutely do! But I must be in the minority because I have no problems at all with them incorporating new styles. That being said, I do hope that we’ll see more Viennese waltzes, Argentine tangos, and paso dobles than we’ve seen in the past few seasons.
Ha, yes Lori!
I vote for Strictly Ballroom week as well. I like seeing some of the other dances, definitely not burlesque and disco, but once in a while. I miss the ballroom dances.
I would give anything for Rob Wade to give a showpiece spot to Karina & Slavik doing that Rumba they did at the Kremlin this past summer. Now that’s dancing! That was the most exquisite piece of artistry. No band or singer to distract them, just Karina and Slavik and the music playing to show America exceptional, breathtaking, dancing.
YES!!!!!!
Leah Remini is filling in for Erin for a few weeks while she does the World Series. Love, love, Leah. I can’t wait. 🙂
Leah
Leah!!!! Beyond happy for that one. As for janel that news wasn’t shocking
That’s great news. I like Leah.
What is happenning this Monday with troupe? Why do we have more dancers joining midseason. With Brittany and Brooklyn?
Leah as a host that is something. That woman is a fireball, hilarious and unhindered should be good TV.
I am dreading though with all the songs and semi latin theme. It might not be a family show. Its becoming more and more awkward watching the show with my kids.
What happen to doing ballroom dances we haven’t seen much of any this season all alfonso’s dance expect 1 have been fast. I can not say if I even remember Sadie or Bethany doing any slow ballroom dances except Bethany this week, Derek is a good dancer but I don’t think even he can get anything better out of her. Sadie only in my opinion had 1 dance that was good, I don’t understand why the judges are missing all the mistakes and missteps that are going on, the are over looking a lot when it comes the Sadie and Bethany, but penalizing the rest. Everyone seems to forget every season that the producers do this to us they take 1 couple and try and say there a showmance to get us talking they did it every season but yet each season everyone acts like this is something new. Again my opinion the one I feel have shown the most improvement and growth on the dance floor are Alfonso, Lea and janel
Crack is wack, Lee. And are you the same person we deleted a bunch of comments from for trolling? You’re lucky I was out of town – you didn’t get banned. You’re also the person who was trolling PDH the other day – I recognize your IP address. My, you are insecure in Val’s talents, ain’t ya? The way you’re posting, you totally know that Val will have a hard time winning without a showmance as long as Derek is on the show. Ha!
But since you want to talk “slow ballroom” – where are all of Janel’s slow ballroom dances?? She’s totally a one trick pony, at this point. As for the showmance – the producers ain’t doing it to Janel and Val, Janel and Val are doing it.
I miss the paso doble in this show… Jazz is great and all, but it isn’t needed every week imo.
They gave Tommy a Disco song for the Foxtrot? I don’t get it.
@lee You do know Bethany and Janel had been doing the same dances up until this past week right? So why is it that you complain that Bethany has had only one slow ballroom dance when Janel has had only one too? And how exactly has Janel shown ANY growth? All her dances have been on the same level. I don’t think you can really see any growth from someone who has previous dance training.
@Misty I think they are going to probably slow this version of “September” down so that it fits the Foxtrot. It’s a great song though so I am excited to see how Tommy works with it.
I’m super late but I agree with Lori! A Strictly Ballroom week would’ve been awesome, I’d KILL to see a week without a single Latin dances or contemporary and jazz. Just imagine how would those stars fare with each other with only three dances to dance, or perhaps two? I’d love to see half doing the Viennese Waltz and the other doing Quickstep.
And also agree with the comment about the dresses. Think of the men looking gentleman-ly with their suits (NO Artem, Val, you NEED to put suits, not just things that you’ll tear off midway through the dance to show the world those abs again for the billionth time). Think of the women looking classy and graceful with Joanna’s Viennese Waltz or Katherine’s Waltz-esque dresses (no skimpy pieces for Alison, nothing see-through for Cheryl, and so on). Ugh what would I give to see this kind of week.
Wait, what’s happening with the troupe? I didn’t hear any of this!
In terms of the dances, I think that Jonathan and Allison will have an epic dance this week! Their jazz will be killer! I’m semi-excited for this week!
I love how Rana threw Alfonso in her “most improved” list so that it wouldn’t be quite so obvious lol.
Bethany and Derek song is good!!! looking forward for this routine!!!
too much pitbull songs, I think…
A foxtrot during Latin night? WTF? lol
Yeah, the foxtrot is a bit nonsensical. Did they actually call it latin night or are they just saying “muy caliente” and talking about shirtless men??
And I just gave the DWTS twitter account a piece of my mind on their obsession with shirtlessness. Either they are a bunch of 13 year old girls, or they are REALLY insulting, thinking that all we women want is half naked men. Sorry, but thanks to Val and Artem, I’ve been rather desensitized – almost turned off – to it these days. Can’t believe I’m saying that, but there you go. As one of the people who responded to me said, we see it every week, why is it so special??
Exactly.
Well that song for a jazz added to his not so great dance last week makes me wonder if Jonathan just has no luck. That is a cha cha cha song or a samba song or even a mambo. A jazz though?
@Vin Jazz in this show is pretty much very freestyle-ish. So, in my opinion, almost every song works for a Jazz. I never thought “It’s Not Unusual” would be much of a Jazz song but Witney choreographed a killer dance to it.
I can see some parts of “Back in Time” being quite Jazzy. I actually think this is the first time Jonathan lucked out on song AND dance style. T’was about time.
+1 to the shirtless thing!
You’d think that I (as a 17 year old girl) would just love to see them shirtless on my computer screen, but nope. Not the case. It’s borderline annoying at this point, because it’s shoved in my face all the time. Yep, I get it, they’re hot, it’s fine, I think I know what their chests look like by now.
In my opinion Derek with a shirt on way way hotter. 🙂
I’m missing the ballroom dances, too. Maybe an “old school” week would be just what the show needs.
Potentially very interesting how the couples behave now that they are back together. (But no scripted drama please.) ;D
I saw an instagram picture from dwts account and it looks like Lea will be having the troupe involved in her dance. I wish the pros would not use the troupe so much. It is so distracting.
I agree Carolyn. I think they’re over doing it in a huge way.
I actually quite like Bethany’s song this week. I had no idea what it was so I just imagined a tango to it and it works. I agree it’s not really tango, but the beat fits the steps really well.
I think Jonathan has a good song, but we’ll see what Allison can do with it.
Rana, where have you seen Britanny and Brooklyn were joining the troup on monday? If they are, I can see them being in the troup next year as well.
One of the reasons that Tristan was my favorite is he rarely ever flashed his chest. His sex appeal didn’t need to be thrown out constantly, it was there in his dance, his expressions, and his personality – plus that smile had a lot to do with it 🙂
I would love if the guys kept their shirts on except in rare occasions so that it has more impact. Now it’s just like – oh yuck, their shirts are off again. Snore.
@cc: ur probably right. If it turns out to be really good at least Jonathan might go on a high. I just hope Allison doesn’t end up making this like his samba though. ( I know a lot of people noticed the emphasis on her in their cha cha cha but that samba was just so lacking.)
Oh my gosh….I didn’t think I’ve heard the song Alfonso & Witney are dancing to, so I went to google and typed in “Booty” and clicked on the video with Jennifer and Iggy and what a shocker!!! Please, Witney, don’t use any of the moves in this video, we’ve seen enough rubbing and grinding of booties. Thank you. It does have a good beat, though. I’ll not doubt get controversial opinions, but everyone has their own opinion for their own reasons.
My problem with having Jazz and Contemporary during the season is makes most freestyles not as impactful I think. I think the reason Kellie’s freestyle was so jaw dropping is they only did Jazz that season and Kellie’s Jazz was extremely different than her freestyle. It’s almost seeing someone’s freestyle 4 weeks before the finale.
That JLo/Iggy Booty song and video is an embarrassment. I’m giggling at how incredibly awful it is while cringing at the same time.
If you’ve got talent you don’t need to place your privates front and center to sell your record. It’s kinda sad too. I remember when she first started acting in Outta Sight. She was wonderful opposite George Clooney in that movie. She should of stuck with acting.
Agree about the troupe overkill in the routines. It’s distracting and unnecessary. As is the over the top props, lighting and effects. Just because you have a big bag of tricks at your disposal doesn’t mean you should use ALL of them at the same time.
Figmentation, I like what you said about how sexy Tristan is without having to shove his shirtless chest in our faces every week. His kind, genuine personality is more sexy than Val’s shirtless torso any day of the week.
Alfonso is hurt????
Unfortunately Lex, Alfonso said on All Access that he has a groin injury and was in pain.
After seeing Bethany’s Hip Hop, I believe she’ll do really well with the Tango. She has the looks for it, and the intense expressions that she showed on Monday, can definitely help sell this song. Also, Derek has been sounding very upbeat in his posts, so he must be feeling pretty good about it.
[…] Meanwhile, Pitbull will serve as a guest judge on Episode 8 of Dancing With The Stars 2014. Both Alfonso and Lea will dance salsa to one of his songs, while others will perform slower ballroom or jazz routines. Check out the full list of DWTS Season 19, Episode 8 dance styles here. […]
There were people complaining about Beth’s song??? I think it works super well for a tango.
And even if people don’t think it works, echoing what PH said, Derek will make it work. He always does. He made MJ’s “Bad” into an Argentine Tango. So…
Too much Pitbull tonight… Not a fan.
Oooh until now I thought Beth and Derek were dancing to “Jealous” by Nick Jonas. Lol whoops.
And yeah, wouldn’t it be cool if, on the week that Len returns, they do an All-Ballroom Week? And like someone on here said, a Classy Week. That’s what I want more of!!
So Pitbull requested only the ladies to dance with him for the opening number. So we will get pouty faces, flipping the hair, and pawing over Pittbull. I guess it is okay to miss the opening number. These dancers are far to talented to be used as props. To bad we don’t get amazing pro dances anymore.
Oh, oh. What about Witney’s and Alfonso’s dance that’s a big risk? Can you give a hint?
Yeah, the spin we heard was actually a bit worse than what Kristyn is reporting. 🙂
The promo was “all shirts are off” and we thought they were talking about the men 🙂 Just joking! Would love to hear the real story Heidi.
May as well let the cat all the way out of the bag…
…basically, Pitbull threw a bit of a diva fit and insisted that none of the male pros be on the stage at the same time he was, so he can look like this big Mack Daddy surrounded by all of the female pros. Aaaaand TPTB caved.
The only other guest performance “diva fit” I can think of that comes close was J. Lo complaining about the cameras being on the dancers too much and wanted more camera time for herself.
Hi. I have never posted on here before, but I read your comments and posts all the time. I would just like to say that I am a huge fan of the show, but its becoming a bit ridiculous. I don’t understand why TPTB are turning the show into more of a SYTYCD type show. I want it to return to the days of foxtrot, waltz, cha cha cha, tango, paso, rumba, samba etc. Let’s stick to strictly ballroom dances and not the jazz, contemporary etc. that they’ve been pushing the past few seasons. I understand why they are doing it (ratings and trying to compete with the likes of SYTYCD), but it is starting to take away from the true meaning of the show. I want to see stars improve on their dancing each week and grow (not going to lie though I was a Meryl/Charlie fan last season simply because I enjoyed watching them perform).
Anyways, thanks for letting me drabble on, and I hope I didn’t offend anyone. 🙂
Thank you Courtney 🙂 that is to funny! What a very insecure man.
The way it was explained to me, having dancing dudes on stage with him was a “deal-breaker”. Sure glad they caved to his chauvinistic whims – I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t hear Pitbull’s Spanglish-laced critiques of dances he neither knows nor cares about! :::roll:::
Hahaha, love it Courtney. I guess they spent so much money on promoting him they thought it best to feed his ego.
What happen to Len Goodman?
Nothing. He’ll be back next week.
Sigh. “Bailando” is such a good song… sucks it’s being wasted on Antonio though. I fully expect that Salsa to be as cringe worthy as his Samba.
Gonna give it a shot with the score predictions: (CAI, Pitbull, Julianne, Bruno)
Alfonso & Witney : Salsa : 33 (8,9,8,8)
Janel & Val : Samba : 38 (9,10,9,10)
Antonio & Cheryl : Salsa : 30 (8,8,7,7)
Jonathan & Allison : Jazz : 32 (8,8,8,8)
Tommy & Peta : Foxtrot : 29 (7,8,7,7)
Michael & Emma : Arg. Tango : 28 (7,7,7,7)
Sadie & Mark : Rumba : 32 (8,8,8,8)
Bethany & Derek : Tango : 36 (9,9,9,9)
Lea & Artem : Salsa : 32 (8,8,8,8)
So I heard that Meryl will be attending DWTS tonight with Amy Purdy.
I hope we are not going to be treated with that crap again with Maks like the premiere night!
Yeah, I don’t even know why DWTS is allowing Pitbull to perform, yet alone make such demands. I don’t know one woman my age that would ever listen to any of his music.
One would think that there are many more likeable artists that would be more appealing and would love to perform on the show. Afterall, this is supposed to be a family show.
After last weeks lackluster switchup night… followed by this weeks not so appealing Pitbull, makes me wonder if Rob Wade is really beneficial to the show.
Based off songs choices, there is only one I’m looking forward to: Diamonds for Mark/Sadie.
Pitbull’s diva demands further increases my dislike of him. he sounds the same on all his songs
So Pitbull really suits his name. I hope he doesn’t start licking or sniffing the female pros. The good thing about it though, we won’t see Val upfront and half naked (hopefully) yayyyy….What’s so significant about Meryl being there, again? Can’t wait to watch all the drama unfolds tonight, gotta love this show 😀
I really hope Alfonso and Whitney don’t twerk. I don’t think that will go over well with the judges. Between Pitbull singing and judging and being a diva, and Leah Remini co -hosting, I think I’m going to need a lot of wine to get through the show tonight.
Meryl is only significant to Jessica and her merry band of shippers.
Meryl is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Yawn!
