Official Dancing With The Stars Season 20 Results Shows And Finale Information
TV Guide has posted some official dates for the Results Show and the finale dates. They read as follows….
And the rumors are true: the Dancing with the Stars results shows are coming back! Beginning April 27 and 28, the show will be broadcast two nights a week (performances on Mondays, eliminations on Tuesdays) for the remainder of the season. The two-part season finale will air on Monday, May 18 and Tuesday, May 19.
ETA: Also, Tom Bergeron tweeted on the Anniversary Special. It’s scheduled to air Thursday, May 14. It will be in addition to the Monday and Tuesday shows.
I’m happy the result shows are back …but i’m also worried about Nastia and Derek. I mean how will they work this out? They both fly back to NY after the show and rehearse on Tuesday. I hope this doesn’t affect their performance.
Yeah, I gotta wonder how they are going to handle the elimination process for Derek and Nastia. Maybe her classes will be done and she (at least) can be in LA for Tuesday? I think Derek is done with Tuesday shows for the rest of it’s run, but to catch a red eye on Tuesday night and do a matinee on Wednesday?
I looked at the NYU Academic Calendar https://www.nyu.edu/registrar/calendars/university-academic-calendar.html#1148 and it looks like she has exams and it looks like the last day of Spring classes is Monday May 11 (she doesn’t have a Monday class) and the rest is studying and finals so it looks ok for her.
oops – needed to proofread that!
I wouldn’t worry about nastia’s schedule…when I was in college we were allowed to miss 3 classes without it affecting our grade…if she hasn”t missed any..she’ll probably just have to set up something for assignments and finals with her dean and professors…which she might be doing…in her case shes better safe than sorry in taking care of that stuff now, than waiting last minute..to get that type of stuff okayed.
I doubt…there is gonna be any drama over that.
I would rather have derek miss the results show and fly back Monday night so that he can get some sleep- nastia can stay if she wants. I just feel that springspectacular is way more important then this craptastic show. Also I am so happy that the seaosn is coming to a close. I’m so over it – to much pimpage and sh#t. I thought last season was bad this season is just as bad. Now all we have to do is get derek is 6th ball and get him off this show for good
Nastia said that one of her professors was telling the class to vote for her. She’ll be fine. 🙂
Coming to an end? There are still five weeks left.
Josi, not me. I love Derek on my TV every week and seeing his creativity and artistry. I also like him in the movies, TV, Broadway or whatever he wants to do. But, if DWTS is one of the things he wants to do too and it makes him happy, I support it 100%.
And I know this may be asking too much, but, what I’d give to see Derek do a Macy’s Stars of Dance or maybe a huge production with the Rockettes and/or Jared Grimes and cast of NYSS for one the Results shows.
Coming close to an end
I do to like seeing him on my screen but I don’t wanna be selfish & keep him on a show that constantly throws him under the bus, has jealous idiotic people that just say nothing but sh$t about him and is overly pimped beyond belief. It’s become more of a pain to watch then to enjoy. The shows I rather see him on tv shows like- daredevil- nashville etc… but most if all broadway – seeing him at the springspectacular opening night was a sight to behold. Derek was being praised for his talent and not torn down because of it. Then last night when he was a guest for the neverland opening night was a great sign that he has made it. Then seeing pics of him all over times square by via pics is magical. It’s like NY way of saying welcome home. Derek fits in and belongs there. <– it's a no Brainer.
In that way, Josi, I see what you mean too. I don’t like to see him mistreated and unappreciated either, etc.
I support derek – I don’t support or condone anything about dwts
“Eras Week” for week 7 sounds interesting.
I don’t think Derek feels about DWTS the way many of us do. DWTS gave him a platform, and certainly he did the rest — but still, DWTS gave him a platform, and an unusual amount of creative freedom. It’s where he grew up as a choreographer. It’s how he got his Emmy. Clearly DWTS is not any kind of an obstacle to him doing (even concurrently) what he wants to do. From his perspective, his gratitude and loyalty are not misplaced. He’s done quite well relying on his own judgment, so I respect his choices, understanding that he sees things differently than I do.
Suzy, I agree. He’s never lost sight of his roots! I’ve always loved that about him too.
And thanks for reminding us of how he received his Emmy too. Sure there have been some bumpy times and stills is (and it gets really annoying sometimes), but, in the end, there has been more good for him that came from doing this show than bad.
I couldn’t agree more, Suzy. Regardless of how we sometimes want to pull out our hair over the way Derek is disrespected, the fact remains that this show means a great deal to him. It is where his creativity was born and his connection to the public was cemented. Like Vogue so eloquently said, I will support whatever decision he makes to be on the show or not to be on the show. Speaking for myself, as frustrating as Dancing with the Stars can be at times, it introduced me to Derek Hough and has given me countless hours of seeing this beautiful man and his masterpieces, and for that, I will always be grateful to them.
Vogue I totally agree that it would be great to see Derek and the Rockettes do a cool production number on DWTS. Also, Derek being on DWTS is more than 1/2 the reason I watch it.
I believe we are at the “half-way” mark as of this past Monday. We are no where close to the end. Please don’t shorten the season, I don’t want it to end. 🙂
This is a DWTS fan site josi – you might want to keep that in mind and tone it down several notches.
It will eventually be an obstacle again. It very nearly was this season and we saw what his initial choice was.
I would not count on this always working out.
Actually, I don’t think this will ever happen again. There are two reasons I think this may well be Derek’s last season.
First, abc has made this season a marker. As such, I think (psychologically) it provides a sense of “coming full circle” or something like that. I think it can easily serve as a “natural” point of departure.
Second, and probably more importantly, Derek has now been to the next level in his career. It’s one thing to think he’s outgrown the show, it’s quite another for him to experience that first hand. From the videos of Derek in NYC, it is clear that he is having the time of his life. He’s doing that, and DWTS, and even tho tired hardly breaking a sweat. It reminds me of that saying, “How we gonna keep ’em down on the farm now that they seen Par-ee?” I think this may be the first time that returning to DWTS will feel like going backward. That’s not something I give Derek a great chance of tolerating. And even if he tried to talk/guilt himself into another season, he wouldn’t be able to bring his best to his celeb, and that also I don’t give him a great chance of tolerating. He may well continue an association with DWTS in a variety of ways, but I don’t think as a pro.
So true, Kenya…if it weren’t for DWTS, we wouldn’t know Derek. He’s brought us so much happiness (hours upon hours) with who he is and all of his talents. Same with some of the other pros. Sure, I want to pull my hair sometimes, but, in the end, I love DWTS and everything it’s brought to my life…including this site and all of YOU!xx
NL, let’s keep our fingers crossed!!
I’ve been thinking this as well, Suzy, but he’s fooled me before. I sure hope we’re both right this time.
Awww, we love you, Vogue,(and Heidi) too! And I agree wholeheartedly.
Excited for Eras Week! Hoping it means the same dance style done to music from different decades. That means epic dances from Derek like his Futuristic Paso and his 50’s Paso.
How about we just cut out the damn theme weeks. That sounds like a plan.
#26 Linz…yes! I would like to see those dances on the Anniversary special. I wonder if any of Derek’s partner will perform with him. There are so many I would like to see again. I don’t even know where to start.
Two days a week means more pro numbers and more time on Mondays for couples. Love that!! I don’t think this will be any problem for Nastia, they probably considered this possibility since the very beginning.
I will support Vogue’s dream of Derek doing a Macy’s dance or something with the Rocketts/Jared… maybe in the finale when he has more time off!!?!
Will derek be involved in anniversary special and results shows?
I love Derek, but its fixed for Val to win. I will enjoy him while he is on my screen.
