Meet you in comments with my answers.
Ok, here are my answers. I can’t wait to read yours.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
I thought I’d like it (and I do), but, I really think it’s sad and not right when they skip over one judge when they run out of time. Something has to give. Either make the show longer or they need to cut one judge. If that’s the case, I think it’s time for Len to go. But, I really wish for is that they’d make the show longer maybe into 3 hours, so, there would be more time for more pro numbers too. DANCING is the most important and as much as possible.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Derek and Bethany’s Halloween Paso Doble, Sadie and Mark’s Halloween Paso Doble, Tommy and Peta’s Scent Of A Woman Tango
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
1. Derek and Bethany 2. Sadie and Mark 3. Alfonso and Witney 4. Janel and Val (though what I’d give to see Tommy make it this far defying the odds and ageism)
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie! I really wish the judges would stop making them the sacrificial lamb like they did with Sharna and Charlie last season. All of the elements are there for them to make the finals and possibly win if they judge them right and they keep at it.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy amd Michael (TIE) for me. Week after week Tommy has surprised us and gave it all he’s got despite how old he is. And well done Peta! I respect her on a whole new level now and it’s great seeing more of her heart too. Michael and Emma have been so heart warming too. I love how they are so supportive to one another. When he gets down, Emma lifts him back up. He’s had his challenges, but, over all I think he’s very much loved learning how to dance and making new friends.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No. Not enough time for every judge to comment.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Alfonso’s jive, Sadie’s paso doble, and bethany’s paso
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Alfonso and Whitney, Sadie and Mark, Leah and Artim, Janel and Val
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie I think. She is getting underscored a lot, but she can dance and I think she’s pulling ton’s of votes.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy. At 76, he’s so fun to watch and he’s giving his heart. Mike is pretty close, but it’s getting kind of painful to watch him dance.
1. I think having four judges is way to many. It takes up to much time and the guest judges are just for promotional purposes only. Not necessary.
2. Bathany/Derek’s Halloween Paso, Sadie/Mark’s Halloween Paso, Team dance by Itsy Bitsy
3. Alfonso, Bethany, Sadie, Tommy
4. My dark horse is Tommy that is why I think he will be in the final.
5. The heart of the show to me is Tommy. I did not expect him to do as well as he has done. I also am very impressed with Peta this year.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Not if there’s not enough time for all four to speak. They need to put a time limit on the comments or something.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
The Carlton, Alfonso’s Jive, Randy’s Paso
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Alfonso & Witney, Sadie & Mark, Lea & Artem, Tommy & Peta
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Lea
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
All of them. While this hasn’t been a great season there’s really been no one that I’ve hated and I can’t say the same for previous seasons.
1)yes.
2) 1)Sadie and Derek’s Charleston 2)Alfonso and Whitney’s jazz 3)Sadie and Mark’s paso
3) 1)Alfonso and whitney 2)Sadie and Mark 3)Betany ad Derek 4)lea and artem
4)Sadie
5) Tommy
1) I like four judges on the panel, yes. I just think the show should manage their time a little better so that EVERY judge can say what they want to say and not be skipped.
2) My favorite dances so far have been: Bethany and Derek’s Jazz to “Singing in the Rain”, Sadie and Mark’s “Duck” Samba and Bethany and Derek’s Halloween Paso Doble.
3) I know which 4 I want but wow.. so hard to predict the winner. But alright.. I’ll say: Bethany & Derek, Alfonso & Witney, Sadie & Mark and Lea & Artem.
4) The “dark horse” I think is Sadie but in a way I also think it’s Bethany buuuut I’m gonna keep my answer to Sadie being the dark horse this season.
5) Tommy & Peta are definitely the heart of this season for me. LOVE them to pieces!!
1. No, i want more dances, more from celebs and pros.
2. Lea’s Contemporary, Sadie’s Viennese Waltz, Bethany’s Jazz.
3. Sadie, Alfonso, Bethany, Lea.
4. Lea
5. i really can’t choose but maybe Tommy, he is lovely and so nice.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Yes because it’s nice to have an extra opinion in that of julianne’s because I truly feel like she is the only sane one when she gives her comments and they are actually constructive.
No because they always seem to run out of time and be in a rush. And as much as len can be grumpy and unfair sometimes, if he isn’t going to be there don’t waste time with a fourth guest judge especially when they don’t really know anything about dancing and are throwing out high scores just because. They’re already pressed for time, why not just fit all the judges in rather than trying to fill len’s spot. I’m with voguerista, they really should consider a 3 hour show, granted the amount of production and stuff that would have to go into it would be crazy and a lot of work but i don’t like this rushed feeling and there’s just too much to do in not enough time as evidenced by skipping over judges and whatnot.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
mark and sadie -paso, witney and alfonso -jive, derek and bethany -paso (first time i feel like we really saw vintage derek this season most likely because of bethany’s breakthroughs in rehearsals and being able to handle what derek can create and come up with)
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
1. sadie and mark 2. alfonso and witney 3. bethany and derek 4. lea and artem
if you asked me a few weeks ago, i’d say alfonso as number one but i’m just starting to get this vibe that it might not happen for some reason. Not throwing shade, just saying.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie which is unbelievable to me because she really could potentially take the entire competition. The judges really need to get their act together when it comes to her.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Pretty close between tommy and michael. but i have to go michael on this, the guy gets reamed by the judges pretty much every week and always has a smile on his face and just keeps coming back with such a good attitude.
1 Four judges I do not mind the 4 but think Len will retire and they needed a ballroom dancer to comment (Julianne). I wish some of the judges would come to the point quicker and not fall out of their chairs. Tey should not be the stars of the show.
2.Favorite dances Derek’s paso from last week, Derek’s try rumba and the Carlton.
3- Four couples are Alphonso, Janel, Bethany and Sadie. Are far as ranking –
1- It is Alphonso’s to lose. Good dancer and very likable. What he has going against him is 1)the Corbin effect – that is I think he is telling Witney what to do. 2) he wants to win too badly instead of just enjoy the journey, 3)Witney like all pros have not proven they can handle the pressure of competing against Derek in the Final. It is Alfonso fan base that is keeping him here, he would be great with any female pro, so I do not see Witney as much of an asset.
2- Sadie better than average dancer, has a journey, large following and a good partnership, unknown how she will handle pressure
3- Beth advantages are huge fan base on her own plus Derek DWTS huge fan base and the Hough mystic. Has a journey with continued improvement Working against 1)has done zero campaigning on Internet to her massive followers, not a performer. Good dancer but not the best. If her improvement continues that next couple of weeks she could be the one to beat.
4- Janel Not much to say when I think 4th is best she can do.
If Sadie and Beth are not both in top 3 the one in will win as I believe voting blocs will follow one another
4. Dark horse – at the beginning of the season no one expected her to win, underestimating her dancing skill, partnership with Mark and rabid fan base.
5. heart of dancing season 19 – Lea, I think she is in this to rekindle her love of dancing, not to promote herself. A promising dancer who was told she did not have the right body 30 years ago finds the love again. I think she is in this for the journey and no to win a mirrorball
1. Actually, I’m off and on about this. Sometimes I like what all the judges have to say and sometimes the poor time management makes me roll my eyes so hard. Plus, the guest judges were awful.
2. Favourite dances: Beth and Derek’s Paso, Sadie and Mark’s “Duck Dynasty” Samba and Alfonso and Witney’s Jive. Honorable mention to Beth and Derek’s Rumba because while it wasn’t a mind-blowing dance, the message resonated with me so much.
3. Alfonso and Witney, Bethany and Derek, Sadie and Mark, Janel and Val.
4. Dark Horse: I don’t really see a clear dark horse to be honest, but Sadie. She’s well-liked by the public despite the underscoring so I don’t think she’s that much of a dark horse. I think the Dark Horse of the general public is Bethany, despite her great dances and scores. After all, she /is/ Derek’s partner and you know how some people on forums love to claim “favoritism” on him.
5. Tommy! 🙂
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
I like the idea in theory but if one of the judges doesn’t even have time to speak I don’t see the point in it. So by that reasoning I prefer 3 judges.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Alfonso’s Jive, Bethany’s Paso, and Sadie’s Samba.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Alfonso, Sadie, Bethany, and….AHH so hard on the fourth spot, I can’t decide between Janel, Tommy, and Lea…I’m going to go with Janel (even though I REALLY don’t want her in the finals. I think they’ll finish in the order I placed them but it wouldn’t at all surprise me if Sadie won.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Probably Sadie in that I don’t think anyone expected her to do as well as she’s doing and to be as popular as she is. I would say Tommy in the sense that he has the potential to make the finals and I don’t think anyone expected him to make it this far.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Probably Tommy or Mike.
1. I COULD like four judges if…they stayed in their seats while they were critiquing. Why do they need to stand up? Stop being dramatic or putting on a show. Say what you have to say and be done. What about putting a timer on them? When it beeps, you are done. If you are going to have four, they all need a chance to critique. If you can’t work that out, then you need to go back to three judges.
2. Alfonso’s jive, Sadie’s Charleston, Sadie’s Duck Dance
3. Alfonso and Witney are who I think will win. As to who the final four will be, I am murky on that. I can make a case for 5 couples filling those last three spots. Sadie and Mark, I believe, should be in the final 2 with Alfonso and Witney but I’m concerned with what the judges are doing to them. Will she go the way Charlie did last year? Bethany and Derek. I am one who hasn’t really connected with Bethany, although I can definitely see an improvement in that area in the last few weeks. I give her props for doing this as it is a completely different world than what she is used to. I have no idea if her fan base is voting or not. Janel and Val. I don’t care for her but she is a dancer. The showman is turning me off and I wished she was pushed more with the routines as I feel she could do so much more. Lea and Artem. She is clearly talented but something has happened. She is not the same as she was at the beginning of the season. That makes me sad. Not sure of fan base for these two. Tommy and Peta. I have never been a Peta fan but she has won me over this season. Tommy is just what she needed. He also is different than what I was expecting. While technically not the best, they have something there. So inspiring to see someone at his age, just keep giving it their all. He seems very chill.
4. Sadie. For the reasons I mentioned above. She and Mark are killing it and the judges just keep underscoring them and nitpicking them to death. Is she perfect? No but when they give Sadie a score and then someone else who is technically so far below her, entertainment value below her…they give that person the same score as Sadie or a score higher than hers, I’m at a loss.
5. Tommy and Peta for me. For the reasons I mentioned above. They both have surprised me this season, in a good way.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
NO

2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far? 1. Alphonso Jive 2. Alphonso Jazz tied for 3. Alphonso Salsa and Sadie Samba
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top. 1. Alphonso 2. Janel 3 and 4 are so close with Sadie and Derek. (NOT MY PREFERENCE AT ALL with the 1 EXCEPTION OF ALPHONSO WINNING)
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie, Mark is amazing with her. I love everyone of their dances and she is not trained at all. She has a cool story.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19? Alphonso he is good to everyone. Never has those negative glares,Luke Ms. Bethany and Chong, got to give it up for the man…keeping up with Peta at 76.
1. No, we do not need four judges. Really they only have time for 3 of them to speak most of the time.
2. Most memorae dances: Alfonso’s Jive and Jazz and Bethany’s paso.
3. Ranking of four finalists: 4) Leah 3) Bethany 2) Sadie 1) Alfosno
4. Dark horse I would say Bethany she’s coming out of her shell.
5. Tommy is definitely the heart of this season!
1. Nah, since Len seems to want to retire just keep it at the other 3 for next season, spend more time on the celebs/partnerships, less on the judges.
2. Beth PD, Sadie samba, Alfonso jazz, Lea spider, Randy Foxtrot, Michael AT…
3. Alfonso, Beth, Sadie, then Tommy or Lea.
4. I don’t know.
5. EMMA! As Anna called her on AB, she’s like the Mother Theresa of dance.
1. No, three are enough.
2. Bethany& Mark – Hip Hop, Sadie & Mark – Samba, Bethany & Derek – Paso Doble
3. Alfonso
Bethany
Sadie
Tommy
4. Bethany
5. Tommy Chong
Four judges on the panel? – A big stinky NAY!
Too much time spent with judges takes away time from the couples.
Top three dances-
Tommy and Peta’s Drop It Like It’s Hot Cha Cha
Alfonso and Witney’s Jive
Sadie and Mark’s Up Waltz
Top four-
1. Alfonso and Witney
2. Sadie and Mark
3. Bethany and Derek
4. Lea and Artem
Dark Horse- Sadie
If anyone can beat Alfonso it’s her.
The heart of the season- Tommy and Peta
I’m including Peta because I honestly can’t imagine Tommy dancing with anyone else, nor would I want him to. They simply make me happy watching them. What’s more heart than that?
1 – I’m OK with 4 judges – it can make things VERY entertaining at times lol. And this week, I appreciated how the “skipped” judge summarized what they wanted to say the most before giving their score.
2 – The Carlton Dance, Derek and Beth’s Paso, Tommy’s Argentine Tango (I would love to dance that with him – that’s one dance you could see him really lead – he has a great feel for that dance! Always looking for a knowledgeable AT partner 😉 )
3 – Alfonso, Sadie, Bethany, Leah
4 – Sadie! Never watched DD (I know I’d end up throwing things at my TV, so why bother?) so I had no idea who she was. For me, she is sweet, charming and quite a natural dancer. And Mark is doing some of his best work ever with her.
5 – The Heart of the season for me was Betsy. She was just all in from the get go! Of those left, it’s Tommy for me
1. No. 4 seems like too many and unnecessarily makes timing more difficult. That said, I like Julianne and think she should stay. She’s (easily) the one I agree with the most. I find she provides the most constructive, valuable feedback. Len seems like the obvious choice to retire, but I gotta say I wouldn’t be sad if CAI left.
2. Alfonso and Witney’s jazz, Bethany and Derek’s jazz, and Sadie and Mark’s samba
3. Alfonso & Witney, Sadie & Mark, Bethany & Derek, and I’m not really sure about the last spot. I hope it’s Lea and Artem, but it could be Janel and Val.
4. I gotta go with Sadie on this one. I think she has some natural ability, but also we’re seeing a lot of growth (I wish the judges saw it more). She and Mark are a great pairing.
5. Tommy. I think there’s a case to be made for Michael. But Tommy’s just so quirky and lovable, he’s my choice. I also like his effect on Peta. She’s totally different (in a great way) with him than she is with the type of partner she typically gets.
1. Four judges is too many. There is neither enough time nor enough material to justify four critiques of each dance. This is true on SCD and SYTYCD, as well as DWTS. JMO, they have done it this season to transition from Len to Julianne as head judge. Personally, I would love to see them replace Carrie Ann and Bruno as well. My ideal panel would be Corky and Shirley Ballas and Julianne, which will obviously never happen — at least so long as Mark and Derek are pros. I would not mind replacing Carrie Ann with Anna Trebunskaya and Bruno with Louis, Maks or Tony.
2. Top 3 favorite dances of Season 19:
a. Bethany/Derek Paso Doble
b. Sadie/Mark Samba
c. Alphonso/Witney Jazz
Honorable Mention: Sadie/Mark Viennese Waltz
3. Top 4 for the Finals:
a. Alphonso/Witney
b. Bethany/Derek
c. Sadie/Mark
d. Janel/Val
This order is a change for me in the past few weeks. I don’t think that Sadie has the versatility to perform the more serious/powerful dances. I also think that Lea (who started great) is no longer projecting fun/enjoyment in the experience … a bit reminiscent of Gilles Marini during Season 15.
4. Dark Horse — Tommy/Peta
5. “Heart” of Season 19 — Tommy Chong
1. I’m indifferent. It stinks when you can’t hear all their opinions as I do like the variety, but if they went back to 3 I wouldn’t care either – as long as Julianne remains on since she’s probably my favorite judge.
2. My top 3 in no particular order:
Val and Lea’s Broadway to ‘You Can’t Stop The Beat’
Alfonso & Witney’s Carlton to ‘it’s not unusual’
Sadie & Mark’s ‘come with me now’ zombie dance.
3. Alfonso & Sadie will be top 2 – not sure which would be the winner though
I think third place can be anyone be mostly likely Bethany, or maybe by surprise sneak attack, Tommy.
As for 4th either Janel or Lea.
4. I’d put my money on Bethany as the dark horse just because many people see Sadie and Alfonso in the top 2 already, that they may ‘forget’ her and she can sneak attack into first.
5. All of them.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
I don’t care, this year I have not paid attention to what they say.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Derek and Bethany’s Halloween Paso Doble, Sadie and Mark’s Samba, and Witney and Alfonso’s Jive
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Bethany and derek
Alfonso and Witney
Sadie and Mark
Lea and Artem or Tommy and Peta
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
hmmm I will not say that is Sadie, because I think that at the end of the day they are making her a favor with critics and underscores, they are pushing the people to vote for her, that started in the week they were in jeopardy, so, I will say that the “dark horse” is Tommy, They keep saying that he’s there for his charisma and he can probably beat others with more potential.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Yes. I love Julianne as a judge, I think she is doing a great job. 🙂
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Sadie and Mark’s Samba, Bethany and Derek’s Rumba, Bethany and Derek’s jive.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Who I think: 1. Alfonso, 2. Sadie, 3. Bethany, 4. Lea
Who I want: 1. Bethany, 2. Sadie, 3. Alfonso, 4. Janel
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Bethany. As much as I love Derek, she wasn’t the best dancer, I would say that in the first weeks, Janel, Lea and Sadie were beating her (but she was still doing great, because she has Derek, of course). But now – she is unstoppable in my eyes, she is improving so much every single week. 🙂
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Michael and Tommie. I love watching both of them. 🙂
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
NO and NO! To much time wasted. And sacrificing some of the backstage goodies like “the confessionals” is so sad.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Alfonso and Witney, The Carlton Jazz, Derek and Bethany, Halloween Paso Doble, and Tommy and Peta’s Premiere night Cha-Cha.. Biggest Surprise of the Season.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
1. Alfonso and Witney, 2. Sadie and Mark, 3. Bethany and Derek, 4. it’s a toss for me between Lea and Tommy.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Tommy Chong
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy Chong.. Without Question.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
-A bit of both. I do think Julianne brings a lot of good to judging panel with her critiques and advice. But there is not enough time for all four of them and that bugs me.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
1)Bethany and Derek-Paso Doble
2)Alfonso and Witney-Jazz
3)Bethany and Derek-Jazz(I adore SitR)
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
1)Alfonso(although I really want it to be Derek and Bethany)
2)Bethany and Derek
3)Sadie and Mark
4)Hmmm Leah and Artem or Janel and Val. Either or.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
-Honestly I think it’s Bethany, only due to how shaky she was in the start of the season to now where she is really finding her place and pushing her way forward. To me it seemed like her and Derek were simply coasting along in the pack earlier on but now they both seem to be coming out and saying “step aside” and I love that. I don’t see Sadie as a Dark Horse because she was kind of made her mark in week 1 and despite some shady scoring, has been embraced by the viewers the whole way since.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
-Tommy Chong. Who would’ve thought he’d still be in this thing? How can you not love him?
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Yes and No. I think if they could succinctly give their remarks so that ALL of them have a chance to speak, yes. The way it is ACTUALLY playing out? No.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Sadie and Mark’s Samba, Tommy and Peta’s Cha Cha, Alfonso and Witney’s Jive.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Who I think: 1. Alfonso, 2. Sadie, 3. Bethany, 4. Janel
Who I want: 1. Alfonso, 2. Sadie, 3. Janel, 4. Tommy
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Bethany. She is growing and maturing as a performer. She’s not a natural…at all. While I’m still not as captivated by her as I am by the others, she’s absolutely starting to blossom at the perfect time. 🙂
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
I agree with Susan2 – Tommy AND Peta. Their partnership is so heartwarming and just gives it everything he has! I love them! 🙂
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
– Not really. I think it works on guest occasions, but only three of them usually get to talk and then the last judge is left to shoehorn it into their scoring section.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
– Alfonso & Witney’s Jazz
– Lea & Artem’s Contemporary
– Janel & Val’s Jazz
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
– 1st: Alfonso & Witney
– 2nd: Sadie & Mark
– 3rd: Bethany & Derek
– 4th: Lea & Artem (I think it’s a toss-up between her and Janel for this last spot)
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
– May sound random because she’s clearly doing so well, but I’ll go for Sadie for the reason that there were definitely a lot of frowns and disappointment at her casting, but she’s gone on to really stand out as a star individually on this show, and I love her partnership with Mark. I think she’s Alfonso’s biggest competition for the MBT.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
– It’s between Tommy and Lea for me. Tommy is so endearing and clearly loving the experience, dancing like someone half his age. I love seeing Lea root on her other stars and watching them get their scores etc. each week – it’s endearing and it’s like she’s a viewer from home, but as well as that, she’s an amazing dancer.
1. Yes and No. As many have already mentioned, I like the idea of 4 judges (especially these 4) but it seems so rushed. Maybe only have 3 at the beginning of the season when there’s more dances, and then bring Len in at the end?
2. Sadie’s samba, Bethany’s rumba, and Lea’s contemporary
3.Alfonso, Bethany, Sadie, Lea (in that order)
4. Sadie. I had super low expectations for her prior to the season!
5. Tommy for sure. He’s so funny!
1. No I don’t like having four judges. Not enough time to talk. In my opinion they need to bring back the results show so we can see more performances from the pros. I also feel like the show in its entirety is rushed.
2. Favorite dances: Bethany and Derek paso doble, Alfonso and Witney jive, Sadie and Mark samba
3. Alfonso and Witney, Sadie and Mark, Bethany and Derek, Janel and Val
4. Sadie…poor girl keeps getting underscored
5. Tommy. Peta is doing a great job with him this season. Unlike Mike (sorry to the Mike lovers) he is actually enjoying himself and has become very likable. Mike on the other hand has a great personality but looks like a deer in headlights when he’s dancing and it’s starting to get painful to watch.
1. If they want to keep 4 judges, they must do rock-paper-scissors before each dance to see who will not comment if the time gets short. Would much prefer 3 judges and confessionals.
2. Bethany/Derek Halloween Paso, Sadie/Mark Duck Samba, Sadie/Derek Charleston
3. Bethany/Derek, Alfonso/Witney, Sadie/Mark, Tommy/Peta
4. Tommy. He IS the tortoise.
5. For me it’s a Tommy-Michael tie.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No. Simply because it’s very annoying they have to skip the comments of one of the judges when they’re running out of time. If they must keep 4 judges next season, then if Len’s absent again, at least skip the guest judge.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
I loved Alfonso’s jive and it’s the one dance I will remember from this season, also Bethany’s contemporary because of the message and her tango.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
i’m still sticking to my first prediction so 1. Alfonso 2. Sadie 3. Bethany 4. Lea
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
I would have said Bethany before, but now I think it’s really Sadie because she’s so underscored that she’s definitely considered like one. Let’s hope she will fair better than Charlie.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
It’s a difficult question. I would say Tommy.
1. No. 4 judges seem too rushed. I would prefer more pro dances.
2. Sadie/Mark Samba, Bethany/Derek Paso, Sadie/Derek Charleston
3. Bethany/Derek, Sadie/Mark, Alphonso/Witney/Tommy/Peta. Bethany is letting go and could win this.
4. Sadie. I, and I am sure many others, had formed an opinion of Sadie that was the opposite of what we are seeing. I hate the way she is being scored. Mark is really impressing me this season. This girl can dance!
5. Tommny. Must say I love his partnership with Peta. Until this season, Peta was not a favorite of mine, but she has changed my mind.
1. No- not enough time
2. Karina & Randy– week 1, Sadie & Mark– UP, Sadie & Mark– duck dance
3. Sadie/Mark, Alfonso/Witney, Bethany/Derek, Lea/Artem(???)
4. Sadie– did not expect her to be so good/likeable
5. EMMA
1) No, I do not like the four judge panel (especially with guest judges!). But yes, I do like the addition of Julianne! I would actually like if it was made of all former pros.
2) Three favorite dances: Sadie and Mark’s duck samba, Witney and Alfonso Jazz….and can I choose Allison and Maddie doing Chandelier?!
3) 1-Mark and Sadie, 2-Alfonso and Witney 3-Derek and Bethany 4-Do we need a four? 🙂
4) Tommy in skills, Sadie in personality.
5) Tommy AND Peta. I have loved watching them both this season!
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Yes, but only if they give each judge a certain about of time to respond to the dance. It’s awfully tacky to cut one judge off from their turn to comment. And starting with 13 couples and a 2-hour show, is way too much rushing about. Either cut down on the amount of couples or the judges. Or, extend it to a 2½ -3 hour show. Most of us miss the way the show was in the first 1-8 shows.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Bethany & Derek’s “Singing in the Rain”; Lea & Artem Contempary; Bethany & Derek’s Paso Doble. (loved “ItseyBitsey”)
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19?
To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Bethany & Derek; Alfonso & Witney; Lea & Artem; Sadie & Mark
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”? Lea & Artem (because she’s 53 and competing with women twice her age)
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Sadie, because she is very young, and the emphasis is on her and her innocence, and being a minor. Also, the style of her costume to the type of dance style and the proper movements…..Just like with Zendaya. But, no exceptions for Lea or Tommy who are much, much older. I think if a minor is going to come and play in the “big leagues” they need to think about what’s in store for them before they commit. Why make allowance for the very young who aren’t really old enough to play with the grown-up!
That’s why I have voted my head off for Lea. I think she is such a real lady, great personality, great attitude, gives her partner much credit, accepts criticism well. She hasn’t done ballet for 30 + years and anyone who is in their 50’-60’s knows that the body changes over this many years. And, she has come far in her journey. I’m hoping Artem gets a different approach going and builds up her confidence. Oh, how I wish she would have been assigned to Derek.
Sorry…Correction on number 4 (because she is twice the age of the younger girls competing)
1. No! Absolutely a big “no” to four judges. It’s unnecessary and time consuming (or there’s no time for all four to speak)
2. Three fave dances: Alfonso and Cheryl’s flamenco, Tommy and Peta’s tango, Sadie and Mark’s UP waltz.
3. Top four: Alfonso/ Witney, Sadie/ Mark, Janel/Val and Lea/ Artem
4. Dark Horse: Lea Thompson
5. Heart of show: Tommy!
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
I don’t love it but I don’t hate it either. I like having Julianne on the panel but I don’t like that it takes up extra time on the show.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Alfonso and Witney’s Jive, Bethany and Derek’s Jazz, Sadie and Mark’s Samba
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
-Alfonso and Witney
-Bethany and Derek
-Sadie and Mark
-Lea and Artem
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
I don’t really know this one. I would say Sadie cause I didn’t expect her to be good, but she’s kind of been good since the beginning so I don’t know if that qualifies as Dark Horse.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
For me this season it’s Mike. I just love how much he cares and that he’s having fun.
1. Four judges? No.
2. Three favorite dances so far?
– Lea’s contemporary
– Alfonso’s rumba
– Sadie’s waltz
3. Final four couples in order?
– Alfonso & Witney
– Bethany & Derek
– Sadie & Mark
– Lea and Artem
4. Dark horse? Bethany though she’s turned into a frontrunner
5. Heart? Tommy with Jonathan gone
1. I like the 4 judges. Julianne gives them good critiques and tells them what to work on. The other 3 ramble on & use their personal preferences as a crtique (I’m talking to you Len & your hatred for American Smooth & frippery!)
Give the judges a time limit & teach them how to talk in bullet points. They have a notepad; use it! (But I have to say, I enjoy Bruno, especially when he fell off the chair Monday!)
2. Bethany & Derek’s “Singing in the Rain” and Paso; Lea’s contemporary. Honorable mentions to Bethany’s Tango (with so little rehearsal time & Australia!) and Team ItsyBitsy!
3. 1-Bethany (she’s peaking at the right time); 2-Sadie; 3-Alfonso; 4-Lea
4. Dark horse I would have to say Bethany & Sadie. Every week, Bethany is improving. It must have been difficule for her to get use to working with others and performing in front of millions instead of just a laptop.
Sadie has been restricted by her school from dancing & is now finding her joy.
5. I know you want me to pick a star, but I have to say EMMA is the heart of DWTS! Such a positive attitude and she cares so much for her partners. Love her pep talks and the poor gal spends the whole season traveling with the star because of their work schedule. DWTS give this girl a real contender next season!
1. I don’t like the 4 judges because their is so little time for them to talk. I won’t be sad if Julianne leaves.
2. Janel and Val’s samba, Team ItsyBitsy Black Widow, and Janel and Val’s VW to Secret, sorry not sorry.
3. Who I think:Bethany, Janel, Alfonso, and Sadie.
Who I want: Janel, Bethany, Lea, and Sadie.
4.For me the dark horse is Lea because she is 51 and she is awesome, though she isn’t my favorite.
5. I think Tommy is so funny and he is so likable and he is definitely the heart of the show.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
I like getting the different perspectives, but it’s not worth it if there’s not time to hear from them all so I’d rather they go back to three.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
lol Sorry for the random choices but my favorites have been Sadie and Derek’s Charleston, Alfonso and Witney’s Samba, and Janel and Val’s Foxtrot. Also loved Team Itsy Bitsey’s dance this week.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
This is really, really hard. I think it will be Alfonso/Witney, Sadie/Mark, Bethany/Derek, Janel/Val. But if Sadie and Mark keep getting screwed on scoring I think Sadie and Bethany could easily flip flop. And if Janel and Val revert back to being obnoxious I wouldn’t be surprised if Tommy snuck into the finals in Janel’s place. I think this coming week will be very telling.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
In terms of just finishing higher than expected, it’s definitely Tommy. If you’re talking about winning specifically I’m gonna say Bethany.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Michael, with Tommy as a close second. I agree with a lot of the others that its the partnerships of Michael/Emma and Tommy/Peta that really pull at the heartstrings the dynamic between those pairs is so nice to watch.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
I like the idea, but there isn’t enough time for all of the judges to get their thoughts out! I think it’s great that they all bring a different perspective to the judging portion of the show, but there just isn’t enough time
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
*Bethany and Derek’s Paso Doble
*Sadie and Mark’s Samba
*Toss up between Alfonso and Witney’s Jazz, Bethany and Derek’s Jazz and Sadie and Mark’s Paso Doble
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
For me, this is really hard. I’m a huge Bethany fan, but I’ll be as objective as I can! For now I’ll say…
*Alfonso and Witney (He’s the best celebrity on the show, without a doubt!)
*Bethany and Derek (She’s made a lot of leaps since week 5! If she does spectacularly Week 8, I would be inclined to put her in first!)
*Sadie and Mark (I would love to see Mark and Sadie get higher than 3rd place, but I’m a little afraid they’re losing steam)
*Lea and Artem (I adore Lea, I just think she needs to focus on being herself, and take things one week at a time.)
*Side note* Janel’s a great dancer and performer, but I think she’ll be this season’s surprise elimination
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Bethany, without a doubt. I don’t think that anyone expected her to break out of her shell and become a top competitor!
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
I have to agree with everyone saying Tommy and Peta. They make a great team, and I always look forward to seeing them every week. They look like they’re having a blast, and they always make me smile!
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No because it’s too much time wasted but I would rather have Julianne than Carrie-Ann
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Alfonso and Witney’s Samba
Bethany & Derrick’s Paso
Sadie & Mark’s Paso
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Alfonso & Witney
Sadie & Mark
Bethany & Derrick
Janel & Val
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Bethany & Derrick
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Michael & Tommy (tie) — Love them both!
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No, I feel like it doesnt allow the judges to have enough to say what they want
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
1. Bethany and Derek’s Paso Doble, 2. Bethany and Mark’s Hip Hop, 3. Sadie and Mark’s samba (honorable mention: Alfonso and Witney’s Carlton)
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Who I Want: Bethany and Derek, Alfonso and Witney, Sadie and Mark, Janel and Val
Who I Think: Alfonso and Witney, Sadie and Mark, Bethany and Derek
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
No Comment
1) I like having Julianne as a judge, but I don’t like the 4 judges situation.
2)Favorite Dances: The Carlton, Sadie and Mark’s samba, Bethany and Mark’s hip hop (Honorable mention to the Try Rumba)
3) I think the Top 3 will be Alfonso and Witney, Beth and Derek, and Sadie and Mark. Any 3 of them I could see winning, but I’m leaning towards Alfonso right now. To say Witney can’t compete against Derek is weak, she’s never even really had the chance. The #4 will either be Janel or Tommy.
4) Sadie. I sure as hell hope they aren’t going to screw her over like Charlie White, and are preparing for her this epic comeback.
5) TOMMY FREAKING CHONG I LOVE WATCHING HIM. And I really liked Michael after the Switch-Up with how nice he was to Witney about everything.
1. No, I don’t like having four judges. I don’t think it’s necessary and it’s awkward when one is cut because of time issues. Len should retire and leave Julianne, Carrie Ann and Bruno left.
2. Favorite dances – Alfonso and Witney’s Carlton, Bethany and Derek’s Jazz and Sadie and Mark’s Viennese Waltz. I could watch any of over multiple times.
3. Top 4 to me will be Alfonso, Sadie, Bethany and Lea. Although I think there’s a strong chance of Bethany and Sadie trading places.
4. Dark Horse – Sadie without a doubt. I don’t think people thought too much of her when the season started and she’s won them over. I think she’s adorable, she can dance and she’s having a great time. Mark has been the perfect partner for her.
5. Heart of the Season – @Llnz, have to agree with you and say Emma. She’s a darling and has done outstanding work with both Bill and Michael. She deserves someone that can give her a chance at the mirror ball.
1) I didn’t understand the point if adding Julieanne other than making look CAI look CRAZY AS HALE
2) Fave dances – Sadie and Marks Samba, 2) tommy and petas chacha, 3) Alfonso and witneys jive
3) top 4 – 1) Alfonso, 2) Sadie, 3) Bethany, 4) Lea
4) Dark horse – Sadie…. I didn’t expect to like her partnership as much as I did
5) Heart of season….. Tommy or Jonathan
1. Please no to 4 judges. Carrie Ann adds the least for me. I really like Len (if you are going the have ballroom, you needed ballroom judges).
2. Fave dances – Mark & Sadie’s samba, Alfonso and Whitney’s jazz, Tommy and Peta’s AT.
3. Top 4 – Alfonso and Whitney, Sadie and Mark, Artem and Lea, Derek and Beth (more because of Derek and his fan base than Beth)
4. Dark Horse – no contest it is Sadie
5. Heart of show – Tommy
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No, not enough time for it. But I think Julianne is there to gradually take Len’s place and eventually it will just be Carrie Ann, Bruno and Julianne
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Alfonso & Witney Jive, Bethany & Derek Paso, Sadie & Mark Samba
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Winner: Alfonso
2nd Place: Sadie
3rd Place: Bethany
4th Place: Janel or Tommy. Tommy as the surprise finalist and Janel could also get there due to shippers and Val’s fan base. Unless Lea starts having some memorable dances fast, her mediocre dances and Artem’s smaller fan base will do them in, IMO.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
I think everyone thought Alfonso was a lock for awhile but I think Sadie will give him a run for his money. She’s a lot more popular than people think and Mark is doing a great job with her.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy & Peta. Peta is more likeable than ever this season and I just really enjoy Tommy.
1. No. Lose Julianne-I’m not a fan of hers at all.
2. Sadie and Mark Samba, Sadie and Mark jazz, Alfonso and Witney Jive
3. Sadie, Alfonso, Bethany, Tommy
4. Sadie
5. Tommy
1. I HATE HAVING FOUR JUDGES. I think they ONLY brought in Julianne is because they knew that Len was going to take some time off, so I think they wanted someone who was an expert in ballroom/Latin and Julianne is one tough cookie- just like LEN.
2. Alfonso’s Jazz, Bethany’s Paso Doble, and Sadie’s Samba.
3.
Alfonso and Witney
Bethany and Derek
Sadie and Mark
Lea and Artem
4. I honestly believe that Bethany is the dark horse. For the first like three or four weeks she was so timid and shy. I was pretty nervous for her in the beginning. I was like is she getting votes, is she connecting with people, and what’s missing in her dancing? But right after the hip-hop routine she found somewhat or more confidence and for the remaining weeks after. Watch out America- I think Bethany has peeked at the right time.
5. TOMMY CHONG!!!! I love him!!!
Oooo!! Fun game! I want to play!
Judges – like them all, but they aren’t given enough time due to the format/time limit of the show. Nomletting each judge talk isnt fair, cause I think they should all get to “judge”, so either limit their talking points or eliminate a judge.
Favorite dances (in no order): karina/randy (their first dance) – sucha lovley sweet surprise; Michael/Emma AT – Micheal sseemed inspired; and Alfonso/Whitney Carleton – so much fun and joy!
Finals (in order from 1st to 4th): Alfonso/Witney, Sadie/Mark, Janel/Val, Bethany/Derek
Dark horse: Lea
Heart: Michael
That was fun! Thanks!

Heart: Michael
That was fun! Thanks!
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Yes, but I don’t like the fact that a) one judge usually gets cut off for time’s sake and b) It’s now even harder to get a perfect score.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Sadie’s rhumba, Janel’s jazz routine, Bethany’s hip-hop.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
1. Alfonso & Witney, 2. Sadie & Mark, 3. Bethany & Derek, 4. Janel & Val
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Surprisingly, I’m going to say Janel.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
I think it’s Tommy this season.
1. No, I don’t like having 4 judges, though I do think Julianne is a good judge.
2. Favorite dances: Bethany’s hip hop, Sadie’s waltz, Alfonso’s flamenco
3. Final four: Bethany, Alfonso, Sadie, Lea
4. Dark horse: Tommy
5. Heart of the show: No opinion
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel? No..because it doesn’t give them enough time to critique the performances/ When Len is gone, leave it at 3, no guest judges especially ones who have NO CLUE about dancing. I LOVE Julianne despite all of the haters saying that she doesn’t belong. She’s been the most level headed one of the bunch IMHO.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far? 1.Derek and Bethany’s Halloween Paso Doble 2.Derek and Bethany’s Movie Night Jazz / Alfonso and Witney Most Memorable Year Jazz 3. Bethany and Derek’s Most Memorable Year Rumba with Lea and Artem’s Most Memorable Year comtemporary as a runner up
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top. 1. Alfonso and Witney 2. Bethany and Derek, 3. Sadie and Mark 4. Lea and Artem
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”? Tommy..I think he could knock Lea out of the final 4
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19? Tommy, most definitely. I thought FOR SURE, he’d go home week one. But he’s SO much fun to watch!
1. I could handle 4 judges if they were succinct and insightful. Carrie Ann needs to go.
2. Alfonso & Witney’s jazz, Sadie & Mark’s samba, Tommy & Peta’s quickstep.
3. Final four: Sadie, Bethany, Alfonso, Tommy
4. Bethany – I think she’s getting by currently on Derek’s fans and DWTS fans but there’s much more untapped potential votes-wise. I don’t think her fan base actively watches the show. However, if she makes the finale I can see a “call to arms” go out over her social media network and a deluge of finale votes. I also think Sadie’s getting a ton of votes as well and I can actually see both girls getting past Alfonso unless Witney pulls out an amazing freestyle.
5. I actually think this season the heart is everyone – Lolo was rightfully bounced week one but everyone else is invested, trying their best and appear to be doing it for the right reasons. There’s no pro/celeb heat butting, everyone just seems to be enjoying it.
1. It depends on the day. I would probably prefer 3.
2. Alfonso and Witney’s Jive. Alfonso and Witney’s Jazz. Beth and Derek’s Rumba.
3. 1) Sadie and Mark 2) Alfonso and Witney 3) Beth and Derek 4) Ehhhhh Janel maybe?
4. Tommy! I actually think he may keep sticking around.
5. Michael all the way. Dancing is clearly rough for him, but he always has a great attitude and takes everything in stride.
1) no-scrap the guest judge, or scrap Bruno (IMO)-loved ‘raise your paddle’ night
2) Sadie’s feather costume dance, Alfonso’s jazz, Bethany’s singing in the rain
3) 1) Alfonso 2) Sadie 3) Bethany 4) Lea
4) Bethany
5) Alfonso
1: CAI can go. Loving Julianne, she is consistent in her comments and always tries to offer positives as well as negatives.
2: Bethany Paso, Sadie Rumba, Alfonso Jazz.
3: Bethany (based purely on her fanbase and derek’s, she’s good enough for top 4 but not the best dancer but will win because of the fans.), Alfonso (The carlton brought the spotlight on him for non fans of the show), Sadie, Lea.
4: Defs Sadie
5: Alfonso, his and Witney’s partnership is so special and he always has the perfect thing to say
1.) I like the idea of four judges but I don’t like how they always have to skip one judge’s comments because they’re running out of time.
2.) Sadie’s Samba, Sadie’s Paso, Alfonso’s Jazz
3.) 1-Sadie 2-Alfonso 3-Bethay 4-Lea (I honestly think that Sadie and Alfonso could be the top two)
4.) Sadie is the underdog because everyone (including me) weren’t expecting much of her but she really did outdo herself. She’s one of the best on the show and the judges are constantly underscoring them. Seriously, they never got the right scores.
5.) Michael because he has a joy for the show and he really wants to improve. Out if all the stars, he’s shown a lot of passion and attachment to the show. He’s been really sweet and he wants to do his best.
1. The thing is, I don’t mind the number of the judges as long as they know what they’re talking about and are actually giving constructive criticism to the celebrity (instead of bursting out with hideously inappropriate and out-of-place comments like “I think you two should get married!”). A few weeks ago Strictly had five judges (the usual four plus Donny Osmond, out of all people) but I don’t mind a bit because those people know what they’re talking about (Bruno always seems tamer and not as explosive with his comments in Strictly as he is in DWTS imo) and Donny’s not that bad as well, so, do I mind that we have four judges now? No.
HOWEVER, what I do mind is that sometimes they have to cut off the timeslot for the judges. I can totally see Len’s about to burst out with something catty for Janel, only to be cut off by Tom and it bugs me so much. I agree with whoever said this before, either cut or make the show longer. Having the same three judges for nineteen seasons is also a bit tiring for me (not to mention two of them has been in eleven years of Strictly), so surprisingly Julianne is the one I’m looking forward the most because I’ve had enough of the other three already. So, once again, do I mind that we have four judges now? No, but please TPTB make it right!
2. The honorable mentions:
– Tommy and Peta’s Argentine Tango
– Bethany and Derek’s Foxtrot
– Sadie and Derek’s Charleston
– Alfonso and Witney’s Jive
And my top 3:
3. Sadie and Mark’s Cha-cha-cha (I LOVE how simple this Cha-cha is, how her incredible arms and amazon legs move around smoothly, and holy guacamole her hips movements are spot on. Had this been a regular 1 min 30 sec dance, this could really be a contender of my favourite dance so far).
2. Sadie and Mark’s Samba (Sadie really is growing to be my favourite dancer of the season. The samba is clean and very well danced, and I LOVE those tiny movements when she’s side by side with Mark. And this is probably the only time I don’t mind all those Duck Dynasty thing on the show. Very impressive dance after all).
1. Bethany and Derek’s Tango (another fyi – I’m not really digging her paso, but this Tango is just flawless. Yeah whatever, she slips for a SECOND, but it didn’t distract me at all from her dance. At first I even thought that was a movement from the choreography. Adding that she only had hours to rehearsal, this is pretty much it for me).
(the rest are in the next comment)
3. My preferred order: Sadie > Alfonso > Bethany > Lea > Mikey > Janel > Tommy
I know I’ve said this previously, but the similarities of the top five of S14 and this season’s are just too uncanny for me not to repeat it. If this season goes exactly like S14’s final five order, I won’t mind it too much because it will probably goes like this: the oldest actress would get fifth (Lea/Melissa Gilbert), and then anyone with Derek is next (Bethany/Maria Menounos). Out of the final three, the one pimped the most only getting third (Janel/William Levy), leaving us with two equally deserving finalists, and the underdog (Sadie/Donald Driver) wins over the frontrunner (Alfonso/Katherine Jenkins). I’d be bummed if Janel really outlast Beth, but as long as Sadie and Alfonso are final two then I won’t mind too much.
4. I would say Sadie, because she’s been seriously underscored these past weeks (her Viennese Waltz doesn’t get a single nine? her samba only get one ten? her Paso got two sevens? Whatever judges). But Lea has also been quite an underdog so far, while Bethany wasn’t anymore I guess. So for me it’s Sadie.
5. I really, really like Mikey and his spirit (anyone that could bring me back to the days of Bill Engvall’s efforts gets my support already). Even though he’s a less charming and worse dancer version of Bill, Mikey still really capture the spirit of this competition. I would LOVE to see him outlast Janel, just like I’m thrilled when I saw Bill outlasted Elizabeth (though I in general really like Liz and still consider her extremely robbed).
yes I love all 4 judges
jive,samba and rumba
alfonso and whitney
Bethany and Derek
Sadie and mark
tommy and peta or Michael and emma
Bethany
tommy
I dunno, KJ, I was very skeptical of Bethany’s fans voting as well – and wasn’t sure she’d make the finale. But man, my Derek-related twitter columns on tweetdeck freakin’ EXPLODE on Monday nights to the point that I can never read all the tweets. It’s been kinda bad the last couple seasons as Derek gets more popular – but this season is ridiculous. It’s making me wonder. And the *BETH* fans are tweeting instruction on how to vote.
1. I don’t mind four judges if there is constructive criticism. I think I read on a blog about CA’s typical day that the judges do discuss who will be speaking for each dance because I think they’ve realised that there just isn’t time for 4 people. I enjoy the judges dynamic.
2. Favourite dances: Bethany’s paso, Sadie’ samba and Alfonso’s Jazz.
3. 4-I think it should be Janel and Val, but it might actually be Tommy Chong.
3- Sadie and Mark. Honestly, I’m not sure if she can pull off an intense, powerful dance. She’s a great performer but I feel like all I’ve seen from her is the cute, fun side.
2- Bethany and Derek. I was a fan of Bethany and DWTS before she came on this show so I was super happy for her. I don’t want her to win, only because of all the hate she would get over social media. I probably shouldn’t read Facebook but there’s honestly so many Derek bashers and Sadie lovers who just seem to love putting down Bethany and her dances, and its really starting irk me and not like Sadie as much. It kind of bothers me that people go on Derek and Bethany’s dance photo just to bash her and Derek.
1- Alfonso and Witney – great performer, nice guy, can dance, has tonnes of support from DWTS.
4. The dark horse I think was Bethany. I think she’s starting to really hit her stride and hopefully pull out more great dancers. She’s not a natural performer like Sadie, but I do love that she’s showing a lot of improvement as a dancer each week. Sadie I think was a frontrunner from the beginning, but I do agree she does underscored sometimes. I think she should’ve gotten all 8s for her paso.
5. Tommy Chong!! His dances are just so fun to watch. I really enjoyed his quickstep.
1. No. The judges have not impressed me at all this season.
2. Favorite dances – Sadie Samba, Sadie Rumba & Sadie Paso.
3. 1 – Sadie & Mark 2- Alfonso & Whitney 3 – Derek & Bethany 4 – Jan & Val.
4. Dark Horse is Sadie – very impressive & a breath of fresh air!
5. Sadie. She has been very consistent in her dancing & Sadie as an entire package is very refreshing & fun to watch!
1. No comment, so long as Len stays. Sometimes the judges give great comments and sometimes they don’t. I live for Len’s comments and analogies! One of my favorite ones was him commenting on Artem and Holly’s Week 2 Salsa/Samba on Stricly, when he said,”…[the dance] was like a mechanic checking for an oil leak…” in context, it’s hilarious!
2. Favourite Dances of Season 19: Lea and Artem’s Foxtrot, Allison and Jonathan’s Jazz (probably because of the happiness that he finally broke through) and Lea and Artem’s Contemporary
Favourite Dances of DWTS: Anna and Derek’s Paso, Shawn and Derek’s Freestyle, Danica and Val’s Cha Cha (and so many more!)
3. Who I think: Bethany, Alfonso, Sadie, Lea
Who I wish: Lea, Bethany, (… it doesn’t matter to me after that because they’re all great)
4. Dark Horse(s): Lea and Bethany. LEA – Evidently, I’m rooting for Lea, simply because she’s an amazing person and the epitome of elegant dancing. Her going back to her first love really resonates with me. She really has the potential to do well and I believe she will. BETH – She’s peaking at the right time. At the beginning, I was really hesitant about her even reaching the finals and I’m glad she’s proven that she can dance. She’s a true contender.
5. For me, it was Jonathan. His relentless energy to fight back and keep pushing on was something I felt was very commendable. No matter how low his scores were, he was still cheerful and positive about the next week. Even when he was eliminated, he still tried to be positive about it.
Reading through the comments has reminded me of some things that I failed to mention in my own post…
— Tommy and Peta’s AT: Yes! How could I forget that? Looking back on it now, I really did enjoy that number and loved the way Tommy played it.
— Heart of the show: I agree with nonmz about Jonathan being the heart of the show. I must have forgotten about him because he was eliminated. Yes he was a little over-enthusiastic but I loved the pure joy he brought to the show. It’s a shame because I think if he could have made it through last week he would have had a good run as their Jazz number was very good.
Heidi mentioned wondering if Bethany’s fans were going to vote and I have to admit I thought the same thing. About mid-season I wondered if she would be a “surprise” elimination but I think starting with the switch-up week she’s really peaking and she’s gaining more casual fans and I do actually think her fans ARE voting. That plus the Derek fan base and I really expect her to be in the finals now. I’m leaning towards the surprise elimination being Lea now with Janel a close second.
Where did this season go? It has gone by so fast.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No. Regardless of how many judges there are, there is still so much favoritism towards some of the couples.
2. Which three dances have been your favorite so far?
Alfonso & Witney’s Jazz
Sadie & Mark’s Samba
Lea & Artem’s Contemporary
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the finals of Dancing with the Stars Season 19?
(1) Alfonso & Witney
(2) Sadie & Mark
(3) Janel & Val
(4) Tommy & Peta (Wishful thinking)
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Lea & Artem
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of Dancing with the Stars Season 19?
Michael Waltrip and Tommy Chong. Both of them may not be the strongest dancers left, but their spirit and entertainment value keep me tuned in.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No. Usually not enough time for every judge to comment. Also, the guest judges are there just for promotional purposes anyway.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Alfonso & Witney’s Jive, Alfonso & Witney’s Jazz, Lea & Artem’s Contemporary
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
1) Alfonso & Witney
2) Sadie & Mark
3) Bethany & Derek
4) Lea & Artem
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Alfonso
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Yes and no. In the show’s current format, no but I think if they changed some stuff around (like got rid of the troupe), it could work. If they had to get rid of one, I would choose CAI. She’s not needed (though surprsingly her columns are very insightful). I would rather have Julianne replaced by a known ballroom/latin judge or legend (Corky? or a US known champion from days past?). I guess I am becoming like Len, I really do prefer SCD in terms of the dancing plus they are a little bit more ‘honest’ when it comes to scoring.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
(In no particular order)
Lea & Val’s Broadway
Sadie & Mark’s Samba
Tommy & Peta’s Salsa
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
1- Alfonso & Witney (it really is his to lose)
2- Bethany & Derek
3- Sadie & Mark (if this type of judging/scores continue)
4- Toss up between Janel & Tommy
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”? Like I said before, Tommy has a chance to knock Janel out of the 4th position barring injury or bad editing or another aptly themed dance being thrown Janel’s way (That PLL dance was the right song choice to motivate Janel’s fanbase… Talk about providential)
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy… No ifs ands or buts about it. He surprised the heck out of me that first week with that memorable cha cha. I always crack up when I see him and Peta’s packages… Plus it has been good to see another side of Peta that we don’t normally see due to typecasting.
If Bethany had stayed a bit longer, I would include her too… Her joy’s just infectious.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No. If there are 4, shorten comment time, maybe 1 judge be limited to their comment in 1 word.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Beth & Derek Paso, Beth & Derek Paso, Sadie & Mark duck dynasty
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Alfonso, Beth, Sadie & Lea
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”? Beth
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy
Y’all… I meant Betsy not Bethany… My fingers have a mind of their own it seems.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
I don’t dislike it so I guess it means yes? I mean it doesn’t matter, two/three/four/ten judges if it’s all the same? Like, is the show better with four judges? No, it isn’t. Is it worse? No, it isn’t. I know people are saying “give us more of dancing, less of judges’ talking” but I don’t think if we had 2 judges we’d see more dancing. TPTB would make some other pointless stuff.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Bethany and Derek’s pasodoble, Alfonso and Witney’s jive, Sadie and Mark’s samba
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Alfonso and Witney, Bethany and Derek, Sadie and Mark, Janel and Val. In that order.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Tommy
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Tommy
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No. I dont think its ethical to have Julianne on the show because of derek. They also dont give much time for all the judges to make a comment.
2. Which three dances have been your favorite so far?
1) Alfonso & Witney’s jive
2) Alfonso & Witney’s jazz
3) Sadie & Mark’s cha cha
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the finals of Dancing with the Stars Season 19?
1)Alfonso & Witney
2)Bethany & Derek (Not that i want them to)
3)Sadie & Mark
4)Janel & Val
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of Dancing with the Stars Season 19?
Tommy
1. No, don’t like 4 judges. Too time consuming. Keep Julianne.
2. Favorite dance: Bethany & Derek Paso doble, Alfonso&Whitney Jazz, Sadie & Mark samba.
3. Couples going to the finals: Alfonso&Whitney, Bethany&Derek, Sadie&Mark.
4. The dark horse to me is Bethany. She might surprise the general audience.
5. Tommy is the heart of DWTS 19.
1.Judges:
Imo three judges are enough due to the time schedule. I was happy with Julianne being a judge before the season started, but she has been a disappointment with some of her rude comments.
2. Favourite dances:
Sadie and Mark’s duck dance.
Bethany and Derek’s paso.
Sadie and Mark’s disney dance.
3. Finale 4 couples
Sadie and Mark
Alfonso and Witney
Bethany and Derek
Janel and Val (even I don’t hope so)
4. Dark horse
Sadie.
I am totally on the Sadie/Mark-train this season. Sadie has blown me away with her sweet personality amd dancing skills , and I had never heard about the Duck Dynasty before… Mark’s coreography this season has been amazing, and sadly enough this couple is slammed by the judges week after week. When Mark is on track he is awesome, and I think he is adjusting amazingly well to Sadie and the limitations given by her family. Love them together.
Forgot no 5, the heart of season 19:
Tommy and Peta. They are lovely together, and it has been a relief watching this side of Peta!
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel? I can go either way on this. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I like the guest judges though, that’s always different. Loved Kevin Hart.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far? Lea & Artem’s Contemporary, Alfonso & Witney doing “The Carlton” & Lea & Artem’s Jive
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top. Who I think: Alfonso, Bethany, Lea, Sadie Who I want: Lea, Alfonso, Janel, Bethany
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”? Lea. Being 53 No one would have expected her to be such an elegant dancer. She started off phenomenal and I think Artem has been putting too much pressure on her. If she can just be her self and let her personality shine through the way she did in the start of the competition I feel like she could be right up there battling with Alfonso. She is a fantastic dancer. Someone also said they wish she would have gotten Derek, I couldn’t agree more. He would have brought out her talent in so many ways.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19? Again, I say Lea. Clearly I love her, BUT she did this competetion to rekindle her first love of dancing. Not to win, she Lights up the floor with her smile and her positive attitude, she clearly wants to be there. She is also filming Switched at Birth at the same time, & the only negative thing you hear from her is when she doubts herself. I pray she makes it to the end, she deserves it. It just helps that she is a beautiful dancer. I also like Tommy. No he can’t really dance compared to the rest, but he sure is fun. He brings out the sweet side to Peta too.
Good to know that Derek isn’t the only one in the Hough clan held to a higher standard than those around him. :::rolls eyes::: Julianne has said rude things? Have you listened to the other three stooges?? I’m not a huge Julianne fan, but some of you guys are forcing me into the role with the lack of logic being displayed.
If any form of criticism is “rude”, I don’t know how you people make it through real life….
1) 4 Judges: A resounding NO. Three are plenty within the current show time constraints as evidenced by the fact that with 4 judges, sometimes one doesn’t get the chance to offer a critique. That’s just goofy. Either make it 3 judges or expand the time frame of the show to allow all 4 a fair opportunity. I may be in the minority but I like Len and wouldn’t mind if he stayed and CAI left. Not a huge fan of Julianne but she is more helpful in her comments than CAI, imo. I agree with a previous poster that a judging panel of Shirley, Corky and Julianne might be interesting, although it would be too much of a bias in favor of Mark and Derek.
2) Dances: Bethany and Derek’s Tango and Paso and Sadie and Mark and Sadie’s Duck Dance.
3) Finals: Alfonso,Bethany,Sadie, Janel
4) Dark Horse: I think maybe Bethany because I was unimpressed with her dancing in the beginning but Derek has really helped her evolve as a dancer and she is starting to peak at the right time, so she may surprise us all.
5)Heart: Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. His dancing is a hot mess but he is lovable as can be.
I guess I’m on the fence concerning 4 judges. I like Julianne being on the show, but it takes too long to get all their comments. Half the time they’re forced to skip one judge’s input.
Favorite 3 dances: bethany and Derek’s “Singing in the Rain”, Alfonso and
Witney’s “Carlton”, Sadie and Mark’s “Duck” dance to “Hunter”.
Finals: Bethany/Derek..Alfonso/Witney..Sadie/Mark..Janel/Val
Dark horse: Lea/Artem
Heart: Michael, without a doubt.
#83: By stating that Julianne has been a disappointment this season, I by no means had in mind to boost the other judges. Absolutely not, on the contrary. Imo Len should retire (probably long time ago) and CAI is just annoying- and both of them can be more rude than Julianne ever has been. I am more mixed about Bruno.
Honestly – I hold the Houghs to a higher standard than those when it comes to human behaviour, both of them speaking up against bullying and Julianne being part of the Kind campaign. I don’t expect anything less from them. I think that is an important part of why I love Derek so much! It should be possible to give criticism without being rude – and Julianne often does. And yes, I think it is disappointing that she with some of her comments is a passenger on “the rude train”.
I think what you are referring to is that Derek and his partners have been held to a higher standard than the other dancers when it comes to judging. Imo some of his partners have been judged as if they were professionals, especially Shawn, but also more in general. This season is the first in many that I don’t feel that way. Imo Bethany has clearly been overscored this season in some of the dances. She is the weakest dancer he has had since Maria imo, but the judging doesn’t tell. I thought she had a break-through with Mark, and then with Derek the week after.
I was talking about Derek in general, not this season, although I don’t agree that she’s been overscored that much. No moreso than a few other couples.
As for Julianne – I guess “rude” is in the eye of the beholder. Nothing stands out to me as exceptionally rude. Especially if it’s TRUE. Were there times I thought she was wrong or overly nitpicky, even made a dumb comment? Hell yes. But I’m not one of those people who calls it rude or nasty every time I disagree strongly with someone. When I think of examples of rude comments, Bruno’s face leaps to mind – and he’s actually being a better judge than either CAI or Len half the time.
But others certainly are more sensitive, for sure – I had someone just tell me on here that I had “resorted to name calling” when I said they were acting snooty. Well, gee, I’m a mod and snooty and superior toward other posters is not okay with me. Name calling? So sensitive. And lacking in distinction. “Acting snooty” is different than “you are snooty” – either way, not name calling. If blunt honesty is now considered “rude” – well, fuck it, I’m proud to be that version of “rude”. Although I think that label in that instance is stupid. 🙂 How’s that for rude?
1) I prefer the original three–I think you either need Len or Julianne (and not both), therefore I pick Len.
2) Favourite Dances- 1) Alfonso Jive 2) Sadie Samba 3) Sadie Waltz/Alfonso Jazz
3) Finals 1) Alfonso 2) Bethany 3) Sadie (I think Derek’s fan base and excellent choreography could get him the win, but I am hoping Alfonso’s dance skills and a well choreographed routine by Witney will be enough to overcome the other fan bases).
4) Dark Horse- I would say Janel because the romance editing has taken away most would be fans. Seems really unfortunate because she seems likable to me and has a lot of hateful stuff thrown her way because of this portrayal.
5) Heart–Tommy or Alfonso. Tommy just appears to go out there and turn it on in the performance piece and Alfonso shows up, has fun, is supportive of Witney and is a consummate gentleman.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
Short answer: Yes now that Len is back. Gives the opportunity for higher scores. When Len is not around, why not just keep three? Enough of the falderal of guest judges.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Lea and Artems dance on “best year of your life” as well as Alfonso’s “Carlton” that week and I would have to say I liked Janel’s West Side Story number on Movie week.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? To make it a little more challenging, RATE them in order with your winner prediction at the top.
Alfonso, Bethany, Lea, Janel. This is my prediction as to what is most likely to happen. Although my preferred order would be Janel, Alfonso, Lea, Bethany but we will see.
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”? In my opinion Sadie. She is lurking around the middle of the pack. If she doesn’t get eliminated in the next two weeks I think she could burst to the top and surprise everyone. Tommy would be my second choice for this category though but I doubt his stamina will keep him in as long as needed.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19? The heart of the season is definitely Alfonso. He has charmed the socks off of everyone and is easy to relate to. Even if you are not old enough to have seen Fresh Prince the first time around reruns are prevalent and everyone should know who “Carlton” is.
1. Honestly, I think 3 judges are enough. Thing is who would leave??-lol 🙂
2. My favorite dances so far have been Alfonso&Witney’s Jazz(I think everyone was waiting for this performance) Bethany&Derek’s Jazz/lots of excitement and anticipation for this routine as well-It was such a beautiful tribute to Gene Kelly & meant a lot to Derek too! Bethany&Derek’s Paso was my favorite performance this season as it really showcased the growth and just how far Bethany’s come in this competition. Passionate performance. She is definitely peeking at the right time.
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19? Alfonso, between Sadie/Bethany, Janel/Val
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”? Bethany Mota. 🙂 Though she has millions of followers, I worried about her being able to grab the attention of the general audience of the show because to most, including myself, she was an unknown. IMO, she has shown the most growth of all the contestants this season. Derek is challenging her more & more each week. Reminds me of how Rob peeked his season. Her confidence as a performer and the ability and passion in which she delivers her performances have really grown since her breakthrough in the Rumba Week 4 & Tango Week 6. Derek is doing a really great job bringing out the dancer/performer in her! Excited for their upcoming performances.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19? Without a doubt for me its Tommy Chong I’m surprised at how much I adore him-lol
If I can, I’d also say that Sadie/Mark’s Samba was also one of my favorite dances of the season and for her too. She really shined in that number. They are a fun couple to watch.
1. Yes or No: Do you like having FOUR judges on the panel?
No, I don’t like that it creates a larger gap in scores, having said that I reaelly like Juillane as a judge. She is not all over the place like the others judges.
2. Which three dances have been your favorites so far?
Sadie and Mark Samba, Alfonso and Whitney’s Jive, Bethany and Derek’s Paso
3. Which 4 couples do you think will make the Finals of Dancing With The Stars Season 19?
1. Alfonso and Whitney
2. Sadie and Mark
3. Bethany and Derek
4. Ahh Janel and Val…not sure though
4. Who is the “Dark Horse”?
Sadie- score wise and under appreciated, but Tommy has genuinely impressed me this season. I can see him make it far.
5. Which celebrity is the “heart” of dancing With The Stars Season 19?
Michael- hands down, he’s such a sweetheart and tries so hard. Love him!
