DWTS Season 19 Week 9!! Let’s discuss tonight’s show! (Spoilers)
Once again, comment to your hearts contents, as long as you remember the show night rules.
- Our server gets totally hosed when people sit at their computer and click “refresh” constantly. Post a comment, then walk away for five minutes so that others have a chance…and so that Courtney and I can actually post on the site. 🙂
- THIS SITE IS NOT TWITTER. Do not post like you are on twitter. You get one warning and then I put you in time out. 🙂 We need context and content. Believe it or not there are a lot of people who don’t watch the east coast feed of the show, so they don’t know what the hell you’re talking about when you post a comment that says, “Boy, that sucked.” If you want to say “____ and ____’s dance was not good at all, crappy choreo” that’s fine. That would be context. It is good. 😀 Remember, if you post five one liners in five minutes, you’ve broken rule number 1. 😉
And Tommy and Peta have made it to the Semi-Final. Oh Dear.
I have to believe this means Lea is going home – but you just never know.
Alfonso’s foxtrot was just delightful. Wonderful. Loved it. OMG, CAI – you pretty much suck. Are you kidding me??
Okay, I thought Alfonso was slightly underscored, but I would have to watch it again.
Oh, yeah, I def want to see Janel and Val kiss because it’s so unique and different. :::rolls eyes:::
Lordy, Tommy was lookin pretty good in the package…
I just love tommy. He got tired about halfway through, but that wasn’t horrible.
Lea is still to delicate. Very pretty – perhaps too pretty. Not raunchy enough.
Fierce?? I don’t think so. But the score is probably about right.
Something felt strange about Beth’s dance – loved it, but something was weird. Perhaps it’s just so absurdly SHORT. They all are. Len was in Austria?? LOL. I sense 9’s across the board.
And what the hell? Derek is working some seriously ungroomed scruff. I’m okay with this.
So, Vajanel gets the pimp spot and everyone is getting 9’s or lower. Interesting.
Sadie is too cute. I swear. There were a few instances where her long limbs got a bit in the way, but it was a very cute dance. Loved it.
And Len likes it too – but thought it could have been tighter. I don’t disagree with that.
8’s?? Seriously? Good lord, if Janel had done that dance she would have gotten straight 10s. And yay, are they going last cuz they’re gonna kiss?? gag.
Janel is getting the “You did awesome” edit.
Ridiculously long time of them not dancing in an already shortened routine. And she just seriously stumbled, and got dragged by Val.
Okay, Julianne, you are on SERIOUS crack. REALLY? The fix is either all the way in or Janel is going home. She didn’t start dancing for a LONG time!! And Val dragged her at one point!! Best dance of the night??? Does anyone still think she’s not being pimped??? This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. They noted an actual MISTAKE!!
Bethany – no mistakes got 9’s. Sadie – no actual mistakes and got 8’s. Alfonso, no mistakes, got 9’s. Absolutely ridiculous.
Alfonso just did a perfect Paso. Let’s see if he actually rates a perfect score. That was amazing. Whitney is turning into one hell of a choreographer.
Now they got something right. You want to tell me that Janel’s quickstep was only two points down from that?? As if.
Tommy makes me laugh so hard. That was just so silly and funny. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared he might break something.
Lea’s Trio was massively improved over her first dance, IMO. Well done for her.
Wow. That was intense. I dug it.
Let me guess…a kiss and a mistake get 10’s yet a pretty flawless AT will get all 9’s. A dance with noted mistakes gets called best dance of the night by CAI and she nitpicks a superior (in every way) dance.
Wow…that was some beautiful choreography from Mark. Sadie had an obvious mistake at the end but she covered it well. She better get a great score, if Janel can fuck up and get 10’s.
Yes, I AM going to harp on that for the rest of the night. It was disgraceful.
Okay, we’re doing some serious story boarding here. Two dances with VERY obvious mistakes have been scored as good or higher than dances with no actual errors. I adore Sadie – and she’s been underscored all season long, so I can forgive that a bit more. But man. This is getting ridiculous. Bethany must be killing it in the votes.
Again. Julianne says there was not a lot of content but she doesn’t care. COME ON!! Judge the damn show!! Either she’s going home, or they are desperate for her to get to the finale over Tommy. This is beyond ridiculous.
So, a woman who did a dance that had an obvious mistake and a dance that was lacking in content is at the top of the leader board with Alfonso? Yeah, that’s fair.
SPOILERS –
As everyone predicted, Lea is the one to go home this week.
I am furious. That is all.
OMG
What a nice start to the evening. Alfonso and Witney’s dance was really nice. I love watching them dance.
With Tommy being safe, we’re going to see the “shocking” elimination tonight. Hope it’s Janel and not Lea.
Yay Tommy 🙂 !!!! Now Alfonso and whitney had a killer song and did a foxtrot that lived up to expectations. I LOVE how they had Ralph and Karina’s foxtrot song too :). Oh and Whitney looked gorgeous. Underscored in my opinion
It’s interesting how CAI and Len’s comments had such drastically different tones, but both gave Alfonso the same score.
Wow Witney looks GORGEOUS. I love that dress.
I can’t believe Tommy was called safe first. I’m so happy for him though; he’s so much fun to watch each week. Man, I’m so hoping that people forgot to vote for Vajanel since they had immunity last week… I think the writing may be on the wall for Lea though.
Ugh!! I do not understand why he is still there. The judges keep overscoring him instead of giving him the 4’s or 5’s he should be getting. And calling him safe at the top of the show stinks!!
Wooohooo! I love that Tommy is safe and through to the Semis. Now I really just hope he doesn’t withdraw or anything. I want him in the Finals!
I guess Lea might be going home tonight :/ Which kinda sucks… But maybe Janel’s fans forgot thag the immunity didn’t carry on to this week and forgot to vote for her? Lol.. Wishful thinking.
Anyways, I really enjoyed Alfonso’s dance. Not my favorite of his but still a very, very, very good routine! Love me a classic Foxtrot!
That was fabulous. I just love Alfonso and think he was a bit underscored. Guess they got to save all those 10 for Janel. UGH
I don’t know what Carrie Ann is expecting Alfonso to do to get a 10. She is so waiting for Janel to give out her 10’s. Her bias is incredible.
I was kind of hoping that Tommy was going to withdraw…less pain all around. *sigh*
It probably won’t happen, but with the remaining options I can only hope it is Janel. *sigh*
Wow…Alfonso and Whitney were just so delightful…loved her dress (wowza) and just the nod to Big Band/Silver Screen just put a grin on my face. And then CIA said she needed more pazaaz….*sigh*
Why did a tweet about Randy Couture pop up at the bottom of the screen?
They dropped the ball announcing Tommy safe straight away. Takes away all the tension. If anyone but Lea goes home then that will be one hell of a shock.
Loved Alfonso, as someone says, 10s have to be saved for Janel.
OMG DWTS is sponsored by Pfizer???? They must be see dollars in marketing a Vajanel cream LOL 😀
I’m thrilled Tommy is going to be in the semifinals and will be over the moon if Bethany, Sadie and Alfonso can follow suit.
Judy – I don’t know either. The more I watch the scoring, the more I think it’s contrived. I hope Janel is sent home tonight.
Even though I didn’t really want Tommy and Peta to get this far but the fact Peta looks so giddy is making me happy. That dance was beyond cute and graceful. Peta’s dress however is not flattering at all
Really enjoyed Alfonso and Witney’s routine. Not my fave of theirs but still really good. I think the scores were deserved.
I honestly love Tommy so much. He just makes me smile when I see him dance.
And why are these dances so short?! I truly wish they would kick Carrie Ann off for this reason amongst a myriad of others.
Lacey correctly predicted that Alphonso’s footwork would preclude 10s for his dance.
She also said that Tommy’s dance is fairly simple but shows significant improvement from the beginning of the season.
Tony was interviewed on All Access. His costume is very unusual for an AT. He was very appreciative of being chosen by Derek and very complementary of Bethany.
Tommy and Peta reading the comments made me laugh. His dance was so damn enjoyable to watch. They had so much fun too! This man is a national treasure. I really am in awe of this man. I am going to say it was underscored.
So I think that Viennese Waltz was probably Tommy’s best dance, in my opinion. I just love this man. 76 years old and he went out there and did a better job than Antonio did in his VWaltz back in Halloween Week.
Go Tommy!
So Tom said, “Quite a surprise”… If not Lea, then which other contestant would fall into that bracket? hmmm..
Wow, so Len gives him an 8?? Guess the old geezers (as Len put it so don’t get on to me for saying it) have to stick together.
So he gave Alfonso only one point higher than Tommy? Shocker!
I would love to know the kind of votes Tommy is pulling in. Man do I love watching him & just want to root for him. He really is great (for him) when he’s in hold, and you can see the improvement he’s made. Hats off to Peta. I just hope this trio doesn’t go as bad as the Sharna, Peta, Sean trio. For some reason that one is just burned in my memory as somewhat of a disaster.
God bless Tommy! He’s a wonderful example of hard work and good attitude paying off. I’m half his age and I couldn’t do what he’s been doing every week.
Is this the first time Tony has danced with Derek in a trio? I thought he looked very glad to be part of the routine.
Derek was just doing push-ups in the Red Room. Impressive form. He then worked on ballroom frame with Bethany.
Michael is being interviewed now. His favorite dance is the AT because there is YouTube video now of him doing something sexy.
So when Tom says that the celebrity going home tonight may really be a surprise … Since Lea has the second lowest score that wouldn’t be that much of a surprise at this point. How worried should we be about Sadie and Bethany!! Back to the numbers post to check it out. Yikes.
Hopefully Val and Janel will be leaving tonight. Then finally I can enjoy the show C-brother free. Fingerscrossed.
I doubt it’s Bethany or Sadie, and Lea would be no surprise this week, so my guess is Val and Janel… Final answer.
Lea makes me sooooo uncomfortable. I wish she would realize that the elegance and maturity of being 53 is better than this cougar shtick she’s trying to push. I would not be sad if she goes home tonight.
I thought Alfonso’s dance was awesome and probably deserved at least a point, if not 2, higher.
I do think Tommy looks tired. To be honest, I do think he’s the weakest dancer there and probably doesn’t deserve to make the final.
And…was I the only one super distracted by the horrible rendition of that Maroon 5 song? I couldn’t even concentrate on Lea’s dance with the caterwauling going on in the background.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I have seen a single samba roll this season. It’s disappointing.
I don’t know if anyone else got the Shark Tank commercial but I can’t beleive it’s been on that long. God Bless! Artem reading the suggestions was kinda cool. Can Artem wear a shirt? Just saying. Other than that I kinda liked it. Scores were about right. It didn’t make me go “wow”. That did look a lot like Julieanne’s costume 🙂 Pleasant blast from the past. Also Samantha Harris in the audience is pretty awesome too.
Okay, I’ve finally figured out what is off for me with regards to Lea’s dancing. She doesn’t seem to have any flexibility in her upper back. She seems very stiff and straight backed when she dances.
I did like her foot placement in the Samba however.
Lea is just a little too happy for me. @JB, I agree with you, she doesn’t need to act like a cougar, maturity would look so much better on her. Her dance wasn’t bad, but I don’t think it deserved a better score than Alfonso received. It didn’t have a samba roll at all and still she gets two 9’s. Alfonso was underscored. Again.
I think Lea is going home. Those are the going home commrnts imo. It seems she has lost a lot of weight which might be resulting in that weakness in her dancing. She doesn’t seem strong and grounded. I’m thinking this show has really taken a toll on her which is too bad.
Lacey had a mixed review of Lea’s dance, praising the technical content and execution but criticizing the lack of fire and stiffness in her performance. That is how I have felt about most of Lea’s dance this season. Lacey also criticized Artem’s costuming choice, saying that a fuller skirt which would have emphasized her hip action.
Really enjoyed Bethany and Derek but each judge found that little something to pick on which means they’ll get a 36. They must be saving all of the gushing for Janel so they can justify the 10’s they’ll give her. Please let her be the shock of the evening.
Bethany and Derek just make me 🙂 . Is there a dance she can’t do? It was such a well done dance and the choreography was awesome. Also, I feel happy that I knew what a fleckle was before Derek said it. They are really exceling (I can’t say peaking becuaase they have been consistant all season and she has imporved like crazy week to week) at the right time.
I sense 9’s across the board for Bethany and Derek as well.. Or maybe a 35 with an 8 from Len. And I’ll be ok with that. It did really feel VERY short for some reason. Not sure why that is… Then again.. All dances have felt pretty short so… yeah. I did enjoy it a lot though. The way Bethany has evolved all through the season has been so impressive and I feel very proud of her. Here’s hoping they’ll kill it in the Argentine Tango 🙂
Loved Bethany & Derek’s dance. Her dress was stunning. I hope they get the scores to match the great judges comments.
Maybe it is someone other than Lea. Sadie, Bethany or Janel. Hmmm….
I LOVED Bethany’s dance. Thought it was the best of the night thus far. I’m hoping Vajanelsyl is leaving us. I admire Lea l, as A 42 yr old woman with an imperfect bod..that she’s out there ROCKIN it at 53!
I thought the comments from the judges to Lea were a bit like farewell comments. While I would LOVE to Janel to be the “surprise” elimination I just don’t see Lea getting the votes.
The judges seemed a little subdued tonight…probably saving it to give rave reviews to Janel.
Beth and Derek’s VW was lovely. I think they’ll get all 9’s.
I have this deep fear it’s Bethany/Derek going home. Of course I panic every week so yeah. But Tommy being safe has set the panic mode into hyper drive.
Sadie is adorable and puts a smile on my face. Mark is the perfect partner for her. That was a great jive even though Julianne didn’t care for it.
Lacey just opined that Derek/Bethany have the highest probability of winning, although she thinks that Alphonso and Sadie may be stronger technical dancers.
Just because Len said it (and he is one so it’s more acceptable), doesn’t mean you have to repeat it, Melissa.
And now we have to watch Vanjanel dance and listen to the judges tell her how great she is and hand her a 40. I’m hoping I’m wrong, but the show has been so predictable, I can see it happening.
Do you all think it could be Janel going home because Val posted this raunchy pic of Janel between his legs earlier this week?
PH, i hope it isn’t Alfonso going homr. That would be a real disaster for the show’s finals. I love the rest of the contestants, except Janel, but no Alfonso, no tapping freestyle, would be criminal!!
Alfonso is about the only one I would say with certainty that he’s not going home.
Michelle, it does no good to worry about Bethany. It’s already been decided and if it’s them? :::shrug::: It happens. Still think it’s far more likely to be either Lea or Janel.
What is wrong with the judges and the way they are treating Sadie? I loved her dance and Len was the only one who scored it accurately. There are some nights I wonder why I devote my time to this.
Gonna be honest here… I actually didn’t think Sadie was underscored. That was not her best imo :/ Her kicks and flicks were pretty weird and I agreed it could have been tighter. That being said though… I still love her and her energy is infectuous!! She also looked fabulous in that dress. Love how Mark has beem dressing her this season.
Really, they had to throw in a kiss? Ugh, I can’t take them anymore. Janel flat out stumbled so obviously in that dance, there is no way they can justify giving her a single 10 let alone more than one.
Sadie and Mark were beyond fun. Mark + Jive = One hell of a good time. I really loved that dance. But once again the judges are buzzkills. Janel and Val made me wanna barf in that video. “I’m not good at hold”, “Quickstep this late in the competition is hard”, “best dance on the show” = all things said by them that just annoy me beyond belief. It was a good dance but Val messed up…..I’m not sure but I thought I saw her miss a step in the beginning of the dance too so give me a break. And the kiss…..so annoying. Catering to your shippers are we? Hi Val, can you use your brain instead of just annoying us? Overscored by the judges in my opinion.
Wait so… there was a clear stumble and yet Julianne and Carrie Ann said they don’t care about but Bethany had a small slip and they deducted a point? And then Len and Julianne give her a 10?
In what world is that “fair”? Right…
I am disgusted with this show right now. Seriously, that is judging embarrassment. Completely unwarranted scores.
How can Carrie Ann define Janel’s huge stumble a “slight” misstep? And to get two 10’s out of that? I don’t understand. Am I the only who doesn’t get it?
HOW on earth does Janel get 10’s when she tripped?!?! This show drives me so insane sometimes. I just wish the judges actually just the performances correctly. Ugh…
The judges obviously watched a different Quickstep than me. In addition to the huge stumble, there was enough space between Janel and Val to drive a truck. Janel’s posture was all wrong. The 10s were stupid.
Oh and sorry I didn’t mention that it was Janel and Val that I was talking about in my previous post. I’ll remember the posting protocol! :X
Was just too mad about the obvious pimping. Though it is making me think that she might be eliminated as a “shock” elimination
Really, if any other team had a stumble like that, they would have been lucky to receive a single 8 for it. And Janel walks away with two 10’s.
Disgusted with those scores. There was an obvious slip up (even if it came from Val) and they still got a higher score then Sadie and Mark. I am so disappointed with this judging this season.
What a great paso doble trio from Alfonso! It deserves a 40 and anything less than that would be so, so wrong.
Okay this is just wrong. When Bethany slipped in the Tango they took off points. Not right.
I sure do love the paso. Lindsay was a great choice for Alfonso’s trio. I love Turn Down for What when I go to the bar, so I had no idea how this paso would go to it; man did Witney make it work.
OMG Janel messed up and still gets 10’s. This is getting absolutely ridiculous.
That Alfonso trio was badass. That was probably my favorite dance of the season. It felt very different for Witney and really liked it.
I am honestly completely baffled by what I just saw. She stumbled, actually stumbled and got drug by Val and got two tens and Bethany got docked because her shoulders came up for a half of second on her turn?
I’ve seen some ridiculous stuff on this show but that I think tops the list.
That paso doble was fantastic, I’m expecting to finally hear 4 10″sssssss
Every single time witney and alfonso dance they make me smile like an idiot..I still hate that song but they made it work.
OMG! I think Alfonso and Witney’s Paso is probably one of my favorite Paso’s ever. Witney is an amazing choreographer. There I said it!
Alfonso and the ladies were on fire tonight! Song is beyond annoying in a earworm kinda way but they made it work big time. He looked like a third pro out there. And the costumes were beyond awesome. Perfect score well deserved!
Alfonso killed that dance! Great job by Witney on the choreography. That was one of the best trio dances that I have seen.
Thought it was interesting that Lacey said that Alfonso’s paso was a 10 for performance, but it was more of a hip-hop fusion and would’ve given his technique a 9. In saying that, loved his paso, was great fun to watch.
Tommy, Peta, and Sharna were beyond entertaining. “Welcome to Chong airways and thank you for flying high” LOL. He lived every guy’s dream out there. Was it perfect? Nope. Do I care? Nope. Was it fun? Beyond fun. What more can we ask for. I said it on another post but he is this seasons Bill E. and he is showing age is just a number and it is so cool to watch. Sidenote, they show Lea and lo and behold Artem is shirtles yet again and my sister goes “I get it he has abs. Now he needs to get over himself.”
I quite liked Tommy’s trio. Not that I was watching him at all. Sharna and Peta together is simply great.
I have no idea what that dance was Tommy just did, but holy crap was that hilarious. If anyone else had done that they’d have gotten raked through the coals over lack of samba. I wish they would have just had a jazz trio.
Tommy did not dance until 15 seconds in. That was just really, really bad. And now CA says she does not care about the dancing?? And nit picky Julianne could not even comment. Peta should be embarrassed at the lack of content in that “dance.”
Alfonso’s trio rocked. I loved every second of it. It deserved all 10’s.
Lacey and Sasha have both described Alphonso’s trio as a hip hop Paso fusion. Interesting that Len did not object to the non-traditional choreography … not that I would ever describe him as consistent.
After Alfonso’s paso, Lea’s just isn’t doing enough for me. She just isn’t strong enough in both presence and movements to pull this one off for me.
I don’t really enjoy Lea’s dancing but Artem’s choreography isn’t doing her any favors. It’s so awkward and stale to me and emphasizes her weakest areas.
I’m going to be so sad if it’s not Lea going home- her dancing makes me feel uncomfortable. Even with both of those gorgeous men, she still didn’t draw my attention. I hope she goes since Tommy isn’t.
The scoring is driving me crazy. As someone put it earlier there is an agenda showing and as Lacey put it, the judges need to decide if they are gonna judge technique or entertainment quality. While they slam one for a lift in the shoulder the one they are pimping gets no critique on technique.
Lea’s trio was something. This dance showed why Lea and Artem are such a good pairing and whaht she can do at 110%. It reminded me of Julianne’s dance earlier this season in a weird way. Henry’s explanation of that costume was kinda on point I guess lol.
I like Lea when the season started, but my opinion of her has changed as the weeks have gone by. I’m liking her dances less each week. Her dance wasn’t bad, but I don’t think it deserved all 9’s.
So far I’m enjoying these trio dances better than the first dances they did. I really enjoyed Lea’s and loved the song, though I will say Alfonso’s paso was better, but both good. Also Henry is such a fine specimen. Hope to see more of him
Lea seems to have lost her mojo. I really think it’s time for her to go. Just not feeling them.
I knew Lea’s Paso Doble was gonna be way better than her Samba. Glad I was right. I really enjoyed it. She looked fierce and very much into it. Good for her! If it is her going home tonight then at least she’s going out on a high.
Alfonso’s Paso btw? …. W.O.W.
Lea is SO going home. Their comments to her lasted about two seconds. They basically said “good job, Artem and Henry are sexy”.
Sorry to say but Lea’s trio performance was unimpressive and the choreo was stale. Wish someone would buy these guys shirts.
That was a FREAKING AWESOME AT DANCE!!
Bethany and Derek and Tony: Worked perfectly. Costumes screamed Hunger Games meets Mad Max (Mad max Games lol). Tony definately helped in rehersal big time. I loved it. Len said it best about the changes bwtween the pros.
CAI YOU SUCK WITH UR COMMENTS!!! Len U Rock! Jules is RIGHT ON!!! Bravo Derek Tony & Bethany!
Bethany’s dance was awesome and the chairs were cool….. But did they sacrifice Bethany to the chair god at the end of that dance?
I am so proud of Bethany’s trio dance! It was amazing and so strong. Oh I could watch it forever!!
Wow! Bethany’s trio was fantastic! When I heard Tony was dancing with them, I thought, why him? But he was the perfect choice for that. CAI had to nitpick something, so I’m predicting a 39 for them.
That was an agressive, meticulously danced AT by Beth, Derek and Tony!
Loved, loved, loved the Steampunk costumes. I want Bethany’s costume right now!
Tony is underrated and I’m glad Derek recognized how good he actually is. I liked their dance but was expecting a little more based off the package video. Perhaps if I watch it again I’ll get the full effect. I did like the chairs/smoke/costumes.
Bethany’s trio dance was strong and powerful. Great performance.
I can’t stop thinking about the scoring fiasco with Vanjanel. I honestly believe that she could have fallen on the floor and still gotten the scores she did. Maybe she is going home tonight and they feel she has to be sent off on a high note. I can dream right?
No one liners. You get deleted for that during show time.
Ok, Carrie Ann Inaba, you deserved that booing. She can go away far from the show now. Her laugh is so annoying too. Let’s see what these judges says about Sadie.
Tom is such a sweetheart. He saw Sadie was saying she made mistakes and he told her don’t say anything, they might not have noticed. Such a sweet guy. That trio was beautiful. Mark’s choreography was great and the dresses Sadie and Emma wore were stunning.
Sadie and Mark and Emma 🙂 The reasoning in choosing Emma makes more sense now but you know what I loved it. Emma always struck me as Mark’s female equivlant in terms of creativity and they worked so well together. Those costumes were gorgeous. The silver one that Sadie wore reminds me of my sisters prom dress becuase it was all that kind of thing but with the bottom being different (no feathers lol). TENS!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY! Sadie and Mark get the scores they deserve!!!! Perfect score was for sure worth it. That dance was amazing!!!
FINALLY!! Sadie finally gets a score she deserves. Blooper aside, that dance was beautiful. It flowed so well across the floor. Loved it!
I’m sorry..but Bethany’s dance was JUST as good as Sadies dance….glad she got a perfect score though…it’s about freakin time!!!
Oh gee precious gets to go last!! I SO HOPE VAJASYL IS going HOME!
I loved Alfonso’s dance and all but SADIE HAD THE BEST TRIO OF THE NIGHT. I LOVED IT. AND A WELL DESERVED PERFECT SCORE.
It was amazing!!! And I am SO happy they got to dance to “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” as that was MY choice for the America voting thing.
And Sadie, honey, NO ONE noticed you “forgot” some of the routine.. it was THAT good.
I’m so happy for her 🙂
Wow Wow Wow! Outstanding job by Sadie, Mark and Emma!! That was a tough dance to do a trio to IMO and they nailed it. Sadie has finally been given an accurate score! And I am so glad that they did not have time for CA to say anything.
I wasn’t sure how a trio foxtrot would work, but Mark, Sadie & Emma looked wonderful. Loved the song and the idea, and the costumes.
Go Sadie Go – they finally got the scores they deserved. Sadie look great and held her own against Emma.
Tom is such a sweetheart. He saw Sadie was going to say something about a mistake and he said keep quiet, they might not have noticed. Such a great guy. That trio was beautiful. Mark’s choreography was great and the dresses Sadie and Emma had on were stunning.
I understand that Sadie has been underscored on a couple dances this season but as much as I liked it, definitely didn’t think it was a perfect score with the slip up. Some couples pay for the tiniest mistake and some make glaring ones and are getting higher scores. Alfonso and Bethany HAVE to be pulling in tons of votes cuz I’m calling shenanigans on some of these scores.
Ugh. I guess all of Sadie’s fans can stop crying now. And Mark can stop complaining, too.
I feel like I’m watching a poorly executed attempt to recreate the Shawn/Mark/Derek trio. I didn’t realize DWTS brought back the challenge from allstar season to recreate a dance. This is probably my least favorite trio of the night.
Janel, Val, and Keo: I kinda liked it . That was not really the dance it was supposed to be so that was kinda urking me. Overall just kinda here nor there. 10s and 9s…….yeah they are smoking Tommy’s stash or something becuase that was just odd. Sheena the Jungle Queen meets salsa was just weird.
Julianne said there wasn’t enough salsa content and still gives her a 10! I give up. Stumbling and missing content and she stills gets great scores.
Janel and Val get away with a lot on this show. “Not enough salsa content” Still an almost perfect score. A very obvious slip up, a perfect score. UGH
@EM #107 I thought my comment was double post, but no our minds just think alike lol.
The salsa was alright. I agree it needed more salsa content, but those lifts and her flexibility – she did really well.
I honestly thought Tommy was going to bow out. I kind of wish he would because everyone else is technically a better dancer, but oh well.
Lea seemed to know it was coming but Artem really had a great first season as a pro so I think he should be a pro next season based on that. Anyways, Lea was a great dancer and the stars aligned for her at some points this season and not at others but you know what she should be very proud of how she did. Guessing next week is Tommy’s week to go (but again I hope its Janel instead 🙂 ).
Alfonso is safe! That means I can watch the 2nd hour in my time zone without freaking out!
I’m find with Lea going home. She was beyond boring and I don’t find Artem good looking at all. But, glad he had a good run in his first season here.
Looking forward to seeing my top 3 favs Alfonso, Sadie and Bethany.
Plan to skip Janel’s, as usual.
Thanks to those here that gave great re-caps.
So on both of Janel’s dances there were issues, but they showered her with tens? She should not have been tied with Alfonso. I would have ranked him first, then Sadie.
I’m with PH, I can’t get over how blatantly wrong the scoring was for one couple tonight. Any other couple and they would have been raked over the coals for it and these two can do no wrong. And to top it off, they’re called safe and we get to watch the repeat next week. I’m calling it now, they’ll have a perfect night in scoring.
It’s becoming such a joke with the scoring, the manipulations, the pimpage. It gets worse every season and it’s ruining the show. I, like many others, look forward to Monday night, but I’m tired of yelling at my tv because I’m so aggravated over what I’m watching and the unfairness of what goes on. They want to keep getting celebrities interested in doing this show, it better stop. I wouldn’t want to go on a show where I know from the start how it’s going to play out.
What kills me about the scores for that V/J/K trio dance was that when that dance was performed the first time, back in All Star season when Derek/Shawn/Mark did the same exact concept, Len blasted it and gave them a 7 for lack of content. So what, Val basically copies Derek’s concept with even less content and gets a 10? How exactly does that work?
I’ve gone beyond head scratching to straight up anger.
Ok – West Coast here. I have not voted yet this Season but will start voting tonight. My problem is that I want an Alfonso, Sadie, Bethany finale (or if one of them is out, then Tommy) and I can not figure out how to vote tonight among my top 3 to make sure that they all make it in. I will leave Tommy up to the Tommy-gods and am hoping that he has enough to beat Janel. If so, who needs my few votes the most??????? I need the numbers post right now!
It’s like watching race and the winner was pre-determined. The scoring for Janel was sooo out of line. All she had to do was just stand there and the judges would have given her high scores. Sooo disgusting. That said, there’s was one thing about her trio that I enjoyed …. seeing Keo, man he can move :0)
So freakin annoyed I have to watch the two try-hards for another week. Hoping Tommy can pull out a miracle with the votes although the difference may be too much to make up.
I am, however, glad to see Lea gone because she was just getting too frazzled by this show. I think she completely lost sight of who she was in a pursuit to prove naysayers wrong and still be sexy. Blech.
Fans of Alfonso and Bethany can pretty much rest assured that they’re raking in the votes and will likely be the final two as there’s probably no scoring difference they can’t overcome. Those two deserved more 10s tonight if the judges were just gonna throw them to dances that had such obvious mistakes.
I look forward to this show every week and STILL manage to want to throw a brick through my TV when the absurd judging and showmancy crap inevitably rears it’s ugly head. I’ll learn one day.
This might have been already addressed before but I haven’t been back on this site for a while so point me to the post if it has been addressed.
BUT WHY?!? why do the producers and judges even care to favor janel so heavily? What is up with their agenda? Last season, I figured it was some kinda deal between maks and the producers/ maks and his need to finally get a MBT, but i don’t get it this season.
I just don’t really understand the reason behind the pimpage.
I felt bad for Lea at the end because you could just tell from her expression that she saw it coming…
The sock puppets are back. Really what are the odds that two people nearly identical IP addresses and both use AOL. We don’t get that many people who are stuck in 1990. Oh and they post nearly identical things about Janel. Please, people, try to be a bit more clever.
@Minnie: Janel’s an actress on an ABC Family show. See Chelsea Kane from Season…whatever and you’ll pretty much see a pattern. Except Chelsea was much more likable.
Tonight was the most “grassy knoll” night of this season (and, perhaps, any season). The judging was clearly heavily influenced by TPTB. My assessment is that Bethany and Tommy are killing it in audience voting … and that Janel isn’t. I think it is quite probable that Lacey is right … Bethany/Derek are the top “power” couple.
I’m feeling so let down by this show now. I feel like TPTB is aiming Vajanel to win. The show has become seriously looking like comedy with the over scoring Vajanel. I kind feel not so excited to watch next week show because my expectations of manipulation tptb is planning again. I think somewhere in their cave, TPTB is saying “myyyy preciousssss….” (like Golllum from Lord of the Ring).
The judging tonight is just not fair. Alfonso is fairly scored. That was an amazing Paso. If you change the song into a more appropriate paso song, it would be just fine. Bethany is so underscored. the 1st AT Trio of the show deserves a 40. It was incredible. The VW was so elegant but I do not like the song that much. Sadie is scored just fine. The low score from the jive was compensated by the 40 of her foxtrot. Tommy is just funny. I want to ride the Chong Airlines with hot Aussie flight attendants. But, JANEL is totally overscored. I was really shock. The quickstep and salsa lacks content and there are evident and obvious slips and missteps. If I were a judge, I gave her 8s across the board on both dances.
Still, my top 3 are Alfonso, Bethany and Sadie in that order. I will definitely vote for my top picks who scored lower this week. I hope Janel would be booted next week. With small margin this week, the raging fans of my top 3 plus Tommy’s fan base, I think Janel could be in jeopardy and would go home. I predict it would be Alfonso, Bethany, Sadie, and Tommy in the finale.
I’m fuming that Carrie Ann and Bruno gave Bethany’s trio dance nines and those clownish faces Carrie Ann makes are vomit inducing. Who do they think they’re kidding???
They are hell bent on making Janel happen and, as Heidi said in a previous post, the power of persuasion is strong. I fear that all those intellectuals on FB will buy it LOL.
I’m watching Bethany’s now. They did a fab job! But, as usual for me, that song sucked! What is up with her getting songs that don’t match the dance?
Julliane gave the exact same comment to both Janel and Alfonso’s salsa, but surprise surprise Janel gets a 10 and Alfonso got a 9. Unfortunately I don’t think Tommy can overcome a 20 point difference between him and Janel.
I agree Rose1…Carrie Ann need to go. Wait for her blog and her stupid explanations about Bethany’s dances. She try too hard justifying her score. I’m glad I’m not the only one who think her laugh is vomit inducing.
I love love love this season – I do believe the top three eill be Alfonso, Janel and Bethany even though I love Sadie too – Tommy should have been gone but I must say he is entertaining to watch. As for Lea going home – kudos to her for being in as long as she was – there is just something about the way she dances that I just dont like ( my opinion) I cant wait to see the remaining weeks!! Best season in a while – I hope when they tour yhey come somewhere vlose in Pennsylvania!!
I’m a vote splitter this season. Whilst my favorite is probably Alfonso-I have loved Bethany’s journey (and Derek’s choreo), and Sadie has pleasantly surprised me week after week. I think this week’s jive was not her best but I loved her foxtrot. I wouldn’t have known for sure that she flubbed the ending had she not said something unlike Val and Janel’s slip. I’m disappointed that Janel is tied for first this week as I didn’t feel any of her dances were particularly strong this week. While I have felt Sadie has been underscored…must say Janel (even when given constructive criticism) has been overscored. Now that it’s down to the wire, I wonder if we will see a flip flop between the relative underscoring of Sadie and Mark and the over scoring is Janel and Val…cause I think now is the time when judges start being harder on the ones who may not have the votes to push them thru to the finals. Then again….with America’s choice and the 3
Who wanted the kiss….who knows. Maybe that’ll buy them a ticket to the finals. We
shall see.
I have mixed feelings about tonight’s show. Some were underscored and some were overscored. On the topic of Janel’s quickstep, I’m not sure if it deserved tens but I feel even with the slip up, it was at least a straight 9’s worthy dance.
I also have mixed feelings on the eliminations tonight. Tommy is entertaining and such a fun person but this is a dance competition factored in, I don’t think it’s exactly fair to say that he deserves to be in the finale although it would be nice a another touch of fun in there too. Go Peta and Tommy woot, woot!
Janel is not a terrible dancer although there were mistakes here and there that I agree shouldn’t have gotten 10’s but she doesn’t suck, Janel is a decent dancer and frankly speaking, it’s more of the judges we should be pointing fingers to, it’s not necessarily their fault they got those scores. I feel some kind of connection between Meryl and Janel, Meryl obviously being better of those 2 but eh, when it comes to hate connected, I think those 2 can fit into a puzzle piece together.
All the trios were amazing, all either fun or incredible to watch. I
I honestly don’t care who goes or not out of those left in the competition, I just hope they all have a great time and continue to improve. 🙂
Huge standing ovation to Team Motough & their Trio with Tony and Team Quack Attack & their Trio with Emma!! Fabulous!! Both Trio teams deserved all 10s imo. This is the first time since I started watching in Season One that Tony’s dancing was exciting for me to watch: crisp, dynamic, powerful, sexy. That’s what Derek’s influence and his outstanding choreo can do. I just can’t say enough how stunning Derek’s dancing always is to me. The VW was stunning and he was so commanding as he moved Beth across the dance floor. His dancing never fails to take my breath away. Didn’t care for the Tribal Trio which I agree was a poor copy to the Shawn/Mark/ Derek Trio. I was shocked that Tommy was safe and Lea was eliminated; I know Tommy is endearing and all, but sheesh, the man can’t dance. Lea can at least dance, although I never really connected with her. CAI is truly getting on my nerves; her comments aren’t helpful and they are often inaccurate. She acts like she is competing with Julianne which is a weird vibe. I wish there were only 3 judges, and I wouldn’t mind if CAI left.
I love these live recaps and the comments – though on the west coast it makes me less likely to watch the crap storm of scoring.
I have a question on the judging – I think we’ve known for the last few years that they have been trying to script to the desired finals – sometimes it works, sometimes the viewer votes straighten things out. We know the three original judges are in on the fix – I’m kinda surprised at Julianne playing the game as she is. She’s been on the other side, seen her brother get hosed by the judges and she is doing it too – do you think that is part of the deal when you sign to be a judge? Do they have to sign in blood that they will uphold the craptastic scripting of this ‘reality’ dance show?
Thanks as always for the work on this site – makes the craziness of one of my favorite shows a little more tolerable.
Sciring sucked tonight! Very unfair! One minute they are strict and the next minute they are giving all ten’s when there are mistakes!!! Comments made no sense! Y’all need to be fair ! Since When does dances with mistakes get 10’s! Very disappointed in judges! Please be consistent! Seems like there is biased judging! Lot of credibility lost tonight!!! We depend on the judges to be fair! It’s okay for guest judges to get scores wrong but not the so called qualified judges! Y’all get a 5 tonight! Maybe! Or does it really matter??????
I think the ‘kiss’ scheme is working, because people on twitter sure are mentioning it. People who watch this show sure fall the bull ‘showmance’ way too much.
I’d rather Tom go home next week than Janel though. I think Alfonso would say ‘bring it’ to Janel as he is better than her!
Any hints on what next weeks’ show theme is?
Is Val’s ego seriously that fragile that they have to pimp him so horrendously?
“Oh Val made a mistake, which in turn caused JANEL TO MAKE A MISTAKE, but we’ll overlook it.”
“Oh, Val didn’t really put much salsa in that, AND WE’RE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT HE DIDN’T, BUT LET’S GIVE IT 10S ANYWAY.”
What the actual fuck?
Get Janel off my TV forever.
In regards to Sadie, I didn’t even notice a mistake. Like whatever she was upset about was covered well enough for me.
I’ll take a 40. Lord knows she’s deserved it.
I think it’s ridiculous that Janel and Val have an obvious mistake in their Quickstep yet they receive 10’s. Any other couple makes that mistake and they would be called out on it as well as receive lower scores. Julianne’s comments towards both of their dances having flaws and not caring about them really bothered me especially because of her 10’s. I think Janel is a good dancer, but not as great as the show is trying to make her out to be. From last week’s immunity to tonight’s overscoring, it’s obvious she’s being propped up to make it to the finals.
Besides that, I enjoyed the show. My favorite dances of the night belong to Alfonso and Witney. They’re just wonderful and I love seeing them dance together. I especially enjoyed their Paso Doble trio with Lindsay. When I first heard they were dancing to “Turn down for what,” I didn’t know how Witney would make that song work, but she did an amazing job.
I also liked Sadie and Mark’s Foxtrot trio with Emma. I loved the song and I thought they did great. I really hope to see them in the finals with Alfonso and Witney.
Jenelle actually made a mistake. Sadie didn’t make a mistake but she kind of got the Choreo wrong you could tell that she wasn’t in sync with what Emma was doing. It was just right at the very end. If you were watching Sadie and not Emma you wouldn’t notice the mistake.
Some of you guys must not understand how big the PLL fandom really is. Janel is raking in viewer votes for sure. Unlike brant, her character is much more popular on the show so I’m sure she’s getting votes that’s WHY she’s still there. I loved Sadie’s trio with Mark and Emma it was so whimsical and effortless. Sharna killed it in Peta’s and Tommy’s trio dance, he’s so likable I hope he’ll go far
Just tuning in on the West Coast – and a few minutes behind on the DVR…but I find Tommy so dang endearing. He does well in hold. At 76, it’s obvious he’s lead a few women on the dance floor.
Just as as an FYI, I was looking at the Vajanel Tumbler and their fans found a way to vote multiple times for them,and they’ve been doing it all season. The key is to clear your cache/cookies and then vote again. I have never tried it, but thought the info was useful. I am voting for Sadie because while I am a fan of Val, I am not voting for Janel because of their showmance earlier in the season, and then the Judges and Producers ridic over-scoring of her dances makes me kinda grossed out.
Once again, it does not matter how big Janelles PLL Fanbase is. It matters how big her Fanbase is in comparison to the other people on the season. And I still say that she’s the low woman on the totem pole. Which is why she’s getting tens on dances with obvious mistakes.
Um, cupcake, all the fans of all the stars and pros know how to vote multiple times. And I mean many multiples of times.
Oh ok, I didn’t know that! Just wanted to get the info out there if someone didn’t know!
Well if we’re talking about biggest fan base then Bethany has already won. But the person with the biggest fan base doesn’t always win so I think it’ll be between Bethany, Sadie, and Alfonso
Val copying Derek choreo is like watching the other dwts editions redoing the dwts pro choreo. It is inferior. Val, we saw The ending of their waltz was close to the psycho tango and now the tribal samba. Is he really at the same level as Derek, Suri? Lol.
Voting wise, I think Sadie is probably first. She has the same fans who took Candace far but also general viewers who probably see her as a sweet young lady and may see their daughter or granddaughter in her. But Alronso is great and Bethany has the most improvement. Sadie performs well but I always thought Bethany had better technique. Now her performance is improving and think bethany is most improved. But still think Sadie is winning the votes and wouldn’t surprise me off she won. Just disappointing bc Mark has been insufferable with the scores recently and Len not getting his genius. Sorry Mark. You are not the most outside the box choreographer.
Janel scoring is reminding me of William Levy, Melissa on all stars and Chelsea k.
Didn’t watch but came to read in hopes that Janel was finally voted off. Sadly, I cannot rejoice lol Ah well this season has been a bust for me anyway. Love Alfonso and I’m pulling for him but between the judges being tptb muppets, that awful showmance, and over/under scoring, it’s a drag. Cool to learn about that multiple voting thing though. I love Val but his behavior this season is ridiculous and his partner hasn’t shown any progress to me so I’m gonna vote my asshat off for Tommy. At least he’s actually shown improvement. Hopefully Alfonso, Sadie and Bethany fans can keep Janel away from that Mirrorball trophy
Really loved Sadie’s foxtrot. I knew beforehand that there was a mistake to the end, so I did pick it up, but if I was just watching Sadie I wouldn’t have noticed her moves were different from Emma. So beautiful to watch, even though there was a mistake and that shouldn’t generally get straight 10s, it makes up for all the underscoring she’s gotten and it was such an elegant dance. So happy she got her perfect score!
I was not impressed with the way judges scored Janel’s dances this week, thought they should’ve been more 9’s with maybe one or two 10’s.
I hope Derek steps it up in difficulty next week with Bethany, loved her dances this week but she’s going to need to beat Janel and overscoring.
I was incensed when Janel got 10’s for that Quickstep. During the dance I was thinking it was one of the worst QS I ever saw and then both Julianne & CAI said it was the best dance of the night! I can’t believe Len of all people would give that a 10, with Julianne following right behind him.
ABC definitely has an agenda as far as Janel is concerned. Look back to the announcement when they had George Stephanopoulos tell her she was the one to beat. I can’t imagine Janel getting more votes than Alfonso, Bethany and Sadie but I guess we’ll see.
I was happy that Tommy was safe – I loved his trio – even though there was no samba, I thought it was so funny.
Have not been a fan of Lea’s dancing so I was OK with her leaving.
Really enjoyed Beth & Derek’s VW, but agree it was too short. I really liked their trio as well – Tony was a good addition and I loved their costumes.
I like Sadie and Mark but to be honest I haven’t been a big fan of her dancing – she’s all arms & legs to me, but I did love their Foxtrot – that was her best dance for me. I would have to watch it back but it looked like Mark was pissed with Julianne about something – he was looking the other way when she was commenting on their Foxtrot.
I would love to see these 4 in the finals: Alfonso, Bethany, Sadie & Tommy –
What I’m about to say is not really related to this week’s dances. With all the complaining of pimping Janel/Val, and the judges’ scoring, it made me think about what if the Strictly judges can be brought to DWTS, including Bruno and Len’s Strictly personas? Many a times, Bruno is stricter (haha) than Len on Strictly! I’d love to see Craig crush all the mistakes with absolute lack of empathy whatsoever and his lack of hesitation to pull out a 2. Their scoring is actually legitimate and that’s how people improve. With the judges raving all the time, no constructive criticism and picking out irrelevant little mistakes, how are the celebs supposed to improve? Honestly, the improvement of the celebrities from Week 1 till now is hardly visible to me. I wish DWTS would be more impartial and transparent, and support all the celebrities equally.
/rant over
Just watching the news – I can’t believe what Lea said to George Pennacchio. He said something about viewers being left in the dark when it came to her journey and Lea said there were a lot of things that they didn’t say in the competition – “they never said I was working – that I was injured – they never said he dated two of the judges!”
Personally, I feel like the defense for Janel’s 10 was that it was Val’s mistake and not hers is lacking. They must be kidding themselves. Couples have had points taken off for that, not only in the past, but this season. There lack of consistency is quite irritating.
About the routines being short, esp. Bethany’s Viennese waltz, they had to make do with the music given to them. Everyone’s routine felt shorter, most likely to make time for the trio dances.
Disclaimer to above: I love both DWTS and Strictly and for different reasons 🙂
(continued bc i didn’t wanna post a whole long chunk in one go)
As for my views on week 9, Lea and Artem’s elimination was hard to watch, especially because everyone was really emotional. It really irks me that TPTB screwed them over for so long by giving them only 2 ballroom dances out of their possible 10 dances, excluding the team dance… If she had been given at least a couple more ballroom dances, I’m sure she would have aced the competition. But alas, the odds weren’t in her favor and she was booted out so close to the finish line, though I’m glad they went out on a high.
Sadie and Mark’s trio dance w Emma was really sweet and possibly my fave due to the song and choreography. Derek and Beth selecting Tony was rather strange for me but I’m glad he was picked bc his talent is really under appreciated on the show since he’s always paired w people who have almost no chance of winning. Alfonso and Witney had amazing choreography and I’m glad Witney’s making her mark on the show. Tommy and Peta give me mixed feelings. He hardly moved in the trio dance but got 7s? I mean he’s got great stage presence but honestly stage presence hardly warrants his entry to //week 10//.
Also, @jane5 it was 2 judges?? wasn’t it only 1 😮
@Princess Heidi, just curious, who are you voting for? oh and are you using the thing to vote multiple times? 🙂
Witney discussed in the abc7 interview the theme for next week is plugged/unplugged
I found it very hard to watch last night each time Julianne judged. For her to say there was a mistake but I don’t care and then there was lack of content but I don’t care and give out great scores…..Then let everyone dance freestyle every week. I see that those rules only apply to certain pros.
Jocelyn – #157 Bethany has the biggest fanbase? She might. But in my opinion, Alfonso probably has the biggest fanbase this season. His fanbase falls right into the core audience of DWTS.. and then some.
Well deserved scores for Sadie on her trio dance. It is about time….long past due for some perfect scores with this couple. Feel bad for Mark as he cannot do anything right to please these so-called judges!?!?!?!? To be handing out 10’s to Val when mistakes are so obvious?!?! Sad to say but DWTS needs new judges or maybe the time is nearing to put this show to rest. Tommy is entertaining but should not still be here. Last night’s show really emphasized the poor quality & bias the judging panel portrayed. Mistakes are not to be given 10’s so anything wrong with this picture?!?!?!
@Grainne Thank you! Plugged/Unplugged? What is that?
Any chance Tommy can overcome the point spread to eliminate Janel? I know it’s a long shot but a girl can dream!
The scoring last night was a joke. All the mistakes on Vajanel and they still got 10s! Last season Charlie/Candace/Mark and Sharna had a great contemporary but Sharna had a tiny slip because of her dress and they only got 2 10s. They nitpicked on every supposedly little mistakes on Charlie’s dances yet his dances had more content than Vajanel is doing.
I’m done with this show.
@Misty it’s when the do the two different dances to one song one version is the original and other is an acoustic version they did in season 17
If it was any other pro that did the Vajanel trio Salsa, like say………Derek or even Mark, they would have had points taken away for lack of content. That’s what drives most people nuts about the judges. The complete lack of consistency and fairness.
Why is it “Rules! We don’t need no stinking rules!” for some couples and not for others? It’s enough to tear your hair out in great bloody clumps.
I enjoyed all the trio dances last night, except the SalsaNotASalsa.
Mark did an amazing job with the trio Foxtrot. He did something I didn’t think could be done and made a very traditional, lovely and glamorous Foxtrot with 3 people! Sadie showed so much improvement with her arms! So elegant and fluid.
I laughed my ass off at Chong Air. That dance is now right up there with Adam Corolla’s Zorro Paso as one of my favorite humorous dances.
I’ve already watched Alfonso’s Trio Paso 3 times. Jeez that was perfect.
it felt like I was at a fabulous costume orgy last night. So many incredible costumes to covet! Bethany’s Steampunk Paso dress, Sadie and Emma’s Foxtrot gowns (Yeah feathers!), Witney and Lindsay’s bad ass Paso costumes. Bravo to the costumes department.
Adding that I was impressed with how happy Tony was to be working with Derek. I guess Derek is like the St. Francis of the ballroom in that he can calm and tame beasts!
Loved Sadie and Mark’s foxtrot. Having Emma there made me think of the scene in Dirty Dancing when Penny is helping Johnny teach Baby how to dance.
Derek is already choreographing difficult dances for a non-dancer. He’s doing just fine. And if he gets beat by Janel, we all saw last night why that could happen. Giving out 10’s for mistakes and lack of content.
It’s really none of your business, Julia, but I do vote for Bethany. I will throw all my votes to Sadie if Beth gets voted out.
There is a much easier way to vote multiple times, but I generally don’t have time for either way.
#165 – @nomz – I thought Artem only dated Carrianne but Lea said 2 judges. The camera was only on her face so I didn’t see a reaction from Artem when she said it. I thought that was pretty funny!
I believe the 2nd judge Lea was referring to dating Artem, is guest judge Jessie J, who Artem knew in the UK.
@Princess Heidi SAME. i’ve been subscribed to beth since she had like 300k subs, and I was genuinely super excited to have Derek as her partner :> I made fake facebook and twitter accounts to vote for her A LOT. I even use my sibling’s phones. What’s the easier way to vote plenty times? Oh and I doubt they’ll get voted out; Bethany’s fanbase is probably bigger than any pro+celeb combined.. (i may be wrong) but yeah, if Beth gets voted out, I’m gonna pour all my votes to Alfonso 🙂
phone*
You can’t vote via Twitter, Julia. And multiple facebook accounts sounds difficult. I used to vote using multiple ABC.com accounts.
@Princess Heidi, No I meant like, my twitter account is connected to ABC.com
And yes, it’s really difficult having 11 accounts (It takes me more than 10 mins to vote since I have to log out and log in again lol) Is that the only way ? 🙁
I have a sinking feeling that next week we’ll see more Vajanel pimpage. Especially because they have Paso Doble and Argentine Tango. Two dances that Val has always done well by choreographically speaking. They will pass through to the finals as a major MBT contender. And with all the positive momentum behind them casual fans who have not been tracking this season will come back in time for the finals and possibly vote them into a win. The thought of it makes me throw up my hands in frustration.
Sorry if already been asked/discussed….but I had major déjà vu with the on the stairs with chairs beginning to Val and Janels quickstep. Did I imagine it?!
Julia, it’s too long and off topic to explain here, but head over to the top post on PureDerekHough.com. That explains it all.
No, Becki you didn’t imagine it. I think Maks did something every similar with Brandy. Or someone. 🙂
@Lstevens yeah I’m worried too. Val’s AT is (always) SO GOOD. (Especially his AT with Meryl). His Pasos are greatly choreographed as well. IMO though, Derek’s choreography is just as strong, if not better. Anyways, does anyone know what dances Beth got? Theirs’ are the only ones not listed :/
Alfonso, Sadie and Janel will all be dancing the AT next Monday, it should be interesting to see how they stack up against each other.
I wasn’t sure where to post this question, but is Week 10 (next week) the last week? And, if it is, why do we have 5 couples in Week 10??? My records show 10 weeks in S-16, 17 & 18 with 4 people going into week 10.
S-16 going into Week 10: Kellie, Zendaya, Alley, & Jacoby eliminated on Monday
S-17 going into Week 10: Amber, Corbin, Jack, & Bill Engval eliminated on Monday
S-18 going into Week 10: Meryl, Amy, Candace, & James was eliminated on Monday
This leaves 3 for Tuesday (final) night.
How can we be going into the last week of S-19 (last Monday) with 5 people without a “double” elimination?
Bethany, Alfonso, Sadie, Janel & Tommy
Season 17 had five couples in week 10
Leah and tony
Corbin and Karina
Bill and Emma
Jack and cheryl
Amber and Derek
There is always an extra week in the fall season
No, there is not “always” 11 weeks in the fall season. This is only the second time. It started when the shows went from two nights a week to one night a week.
