Dancing with the Stars Season 22, Week 8 – Who’s Dancing What…and When?
Well, Week 8 and more weirdness to take us into the semi-finals. So, the couples are split into teams of two and each team gets a judge. :::sigh::: Judges choose the dance and the song. One would think they would pick appropriately, but I’m not going to hold my breath. I believe that’s all we know right now…except for the pairs at the bottom of the page. These came from a variety of interviews and other sources.
ETA: Vogue here. Today on Kelly & Michael, Carrie Ann said she has Antonio/Sharna and Paige/Mark for her team. She is creating something “athletic” for them. More in this post.
ETA2: Thanks to Kennedy for the heads up to look at the DancingABC Instagram. If it’s not Panic at the Disco, then that account is trolling. 🙂
ETA3: The DWTS instagram strikes again. Any guess on what dance style Jodie will be doing to that song?
ETA4: All the songs and dances thanks to the ABC press release (via DWTSGossip).
ETA5: Song and Dance up date for Carrie Ann’s Team below via her instagram. And I sure hope they aren’t copying Derek Hough’s new dance art project with this. ~Vogue
ETA6: Thanks to everyone who has been telling me that Ginger and Wanya have samba – I’ve been out having a life and not surprisingly it involved booze. 🙂 ~Heidi
ETA7: A few updates below thanks to Peta’s twitter and Instagram! Thanks to everyone who sent the heads up. ~Vogue
ETA8: And the rest of the dance order thanks to George Pennachio. ~Heidi

I like these pairings. The way they have them, one couple will really push the other.
Yuck? I’m actually going to have to root for Antonio? I wish he’d have been paired with Ginger! LOL
I feel so sorry for Paige… =/
Oh and a question? Do we know if the judges are coming up with the concept too? If this is like two seasons ago it will just mean tongue baths for everyone as no one will want to step on another judges toes!
I was really hoping for Wanya and Paige.
ok, so they had guys vs. girls for the team dances & now they have guy with girl for the duo dances…excited to see how this turns out!
I hope there’s at least one or two ATs. In seven weeks of competition, we’ve only had one. I don’t want a repeat of S18 which only had one Paso.
Like the idea of the pair up dances but all I keep wondering is what dance style and song we are going to get out of two of the judges in particular. I’m just taking me a shot in the dark here and assuming that it’s going to be an older song and a ballroom dance from Len and Bruno being in charge of a dance style and song just makes me remember the last time and how strange it was.
Whoevers on antonio team is lucky. He’s by far the besg
I really expected Paige with either Nyle or Wanya, favoring the latter. Why Antonio? He is the least willing and capable celeb remaining. Paige should slay her first dance because i think their duo can bring her down. Hope their duo dance would be a jazz hiphop or contemporary so that Antonio would not have a hard time.
There goes my wish of Paige & Nyle doing an Argentine Tango. Sigh. 🙁
I at least hope her and Antonio work well together and the guy really steps it up. Hopefully Mark can “inspire” him to do better and see what he really has to do by working with a male pro.
I don’t like these dancing “duets.” It looks like they paired the 3 strongest dancers (nyle Paige and wanya) with the three weaker ones. They shouldn’t have to hope the weaker dancers step up so their scores don’t suffer. Also, is Nyle the only one left that has not done jazz or contemporary? I find that strange.
Sharna just said on Afterbuzz that she and Antonio have Viennese Waltz to Love on the Brain by Rhianna.
#Cari then judge might b Len for Antonio/Paige.
That’s for their individual routine. Sharna said they have no clue who their judge is #terry mn
Are they all going to have two dances? I see that Nyle and Peta have the Paso so I’m assuming their dance with Jodie and Keo will be something else entirely?
And what, exactly, is “the besg”?
If you seriously mean “best” – then no, he’s most certainly not.
It’s time for Jodie to Jive. I wanna see her dancing it since the beginning!
Ooh, I think a Paso will be great for Nyle. I just hope he can tuck in that bubble butt of his. He’s still the only one who hasn’t done a Contemporary or Jazz. Even if it’s not my fave dance style, I kinda want to see a Contemporary from Mr. Body Language.
I’m hoping that Antonio will be leaving next, but it looks like Jodie’s time may be up unfortunately. She danced first, some people are unaware she’s at the bottom, and Steelers fans may be voting a little harder after his shoddy Tango. It sure puts a damper on my wish of seeing a Nyle/Peta/Sharna trio. :p
My bets:
Antonio – V. Waltz
Ginger – Cha-cha-cha
Jodie – V. Waltz
Nyle – Paso Doble
Paige – Cha-cha-cha
Wanyá – Argentine Tango
Antonio & Paige (poor Paige) – Samba
Wanyá & Ginger (probably planned to be the pimped duo, although I’ve seen Meryl being bashed in season 18) – Paso Doble
Nyle & Jodie (probably a stand-out performance or the worst one) – Jive
I have a question about these teams. Are they dancing with each other as one team or against each other (like they did in the past). I think the former based on the comments, but I am not clear. I would appreciate clarification.
I think a jive would be interesting for both Jodie and Nyle. Nyle and Peta have been great at synchronizing (not including that small Charleston bit from their quickstep). I’m excited for the week when it’s just dancing and not these gimmicky things.
Paige and Wanya would have lit up the dance floor like a 4th of July fireworks display. I would have loved to see that.
As it stands, these pairings look like another attempt to prop up the ABC darling. Their golden girl has been fading into the woodwork and looking like dross compared to Paige. So TPTB have to do something to make Ginger stand out. The answer? Give Ginger an asset like Wanya and hang a big honkin’ millstone like Antonio around Paige’s neck.
Lol Vin about brunos weird dance. I actually dont like these pairings they seem rlly awkward. I hope they have an argentine tango.
I would have preferred wayna with page as well.
I think Paige & Mark and Antonio & Sharna will be great together and having Mark, another guy, could really help Antonio benefit for the rest of the season.
They are my two favorites along with Nyle’s amazing gift.
Of course they will have competition with the Ginger & Val and Wanya & Lindsay pairing, the two most favored by the judges.
Jodie & Keo and Nyle & Peta just may be a good combination if Keo allows Peta to be in charge of choreography.
This is ridiculous now Nyle has not done any dance outside Standard 10 dance. I want to see him do Argentine Tango. Those teams look horrible all round. Couple I care about with a couple I could not care less about. Such fun
I’m actually quite looking forward to the judges’ pick round. There’s a chance there will be another Amy/James, although there’s also a chance for Meryl/Danica disaster.
Sharna choreographed a beautiful VW for Nyle, I’m hoping what she’d craft for Antonio wouldn’t be too shabby, seeing Sharna twirling around in a ballgown and elegant hairdo is a vision. Also hoping that Nyle’s Paso would be to some traditional music instead of some EDM mess (ESPANA CANI PLEASE!), and fingers crossed Peta’s choreo would be neat. Also looking forward to see even more from Wanya and Paige. And last: Ginger, Jodie and Antonio triple elimination next week please!
I really hope Paige gets to do A. Tango with Mark and something fast with Antonio so that way they don’t have to dance in hold, lol.
i think that ginger and wanya will get favored. I was really hoping for paige and nyle but dreams are dreams. hopefully keo lets peta choreograph or else there dance is going to probably be pretty bad but well have to wait and see
Although I do not know if the Wiki page is correct, in terms of cumulative scoring, Wanya is #1 and paired with Ginger #4, Nyle is in the #2 spot paired with Jodie #5 and Paige is listed in #3 posn (although technically tied with Nyle for #2) and paired with Antonio in #6 position. So this could be the logic for the pairing. Or this could simply be the logic that TPTB will use to support the decision that they wanted to make.
Guess Darvina’s “guess” was right about Carrie Ann )on Afterbuzz) lol 🙂
Yeah, I think Diva knew on CA beforehand. lol
What’s sad about this is people think that Paige will bring Antonio down… Like Gag! Are you kidding me are people really that oblivious to how his attitude and how he really is to even say that about Paige. I feel bad that they paired her with him but it may or may not be a good thing I just hope he shows up for practice and won’t let them down that way.
I like these pairings. With the top 3 being paired with the bottom 3, it will keep things more even (maybe).
dwts1, surely the only “people” who think Paige will bring Antonio down are the Steelers Nation nutbars. (And just to be very clear here, I’m *not* talking about the many sensible, loyal Steelers supporters, just the ninnies who view the world through their distorted black and gold sunglasses.)
Anyone who’s actually been watching the show (instead of just Antonio) knows having Paige is an enormous asset for Mr. Brown. Of course I wouldn’t be surprised if Antonio, himself, thinks he’ll be doing Paige a huge favor by dancing with her. That’s even more gag-worthy.
I think CAI is a good match for Paige and Antonio. She created an amazing Paso for Noah last spring which showed she has a knack for creating powerful pieces so I look forward to seeing her “athletic” routine for them. I figure Ginger and Wanya will probably be favored because I get the sense TPTB want those two and Antonio in the finals so I’m guessing they’ll have Len, leaving Bruno with Nyle and Jodie.
CAI said that she wanted Paige and Antonio because she wanted to create an athletic number on Kelly and Micheal today. Hopefully the athletic moves can hide Antonio’s poor dancing and they can get a good score
All of you people bashing Antonio. Do you realize how BIG steelers nation is??????? Wayna was in jeopardy last week, Antonio Has yet to be in it! Jodie is off next. Hines ward his phone didn’t stop ringing with votes… Steelers nation is NATIONWIDE not just PITT!! Don’t be surprised if Antonio AT LEAST gets runner up
Really would have anyone else pair up with Antonio than Paige, she’s not one of my favorites. But regardless of people think Antonio is “weak” and can’t dance, he’s a part of Steeler Nation and they need to get use to him being there
Yeah, I approved Alesha’s comment just so everyone could point and laugh and see what we deal with when it comes to some of the more…irrational fan groups out there. 🙂
Awwww, look – more of the fringe Steelers fans that swing from Antonio’s gonads and feel as though we all should do the same 😛 Y’all are cute.
Sarah, people like you are what make me think Steelers fans are the most obnoxious in the league.
That’s a few of them we’ve had in the last couple days…guess I better look and see who shared a link and go troll THEIR website. 😀
I never said you should follow? I’m saying there are many of us fans out there so people saying he shouldn’t be on the show are wrong. It’s not about how good they can dance. It’s the votes they need to stay and yes we are obnoxious and very proud of it. No wonder why he is still there
Right, Sarah – you’re just saying we’re all wrong, and you’re right. I guess I shouldn’t expect much in the way of logic from you guys…
This might be a little crass, but I’m going for it anyways…
Part of me wonders if Steelers Nation isn’t actually that huge. We keep being told by members of Steelers Nation how big it is. Usually, when someone has to tell you how big they are, it’s a sign they’re actually not that big.
Again, sorry if that was crass, but I couldn’t think of a delicate way to say that. I’m sure there are a good number of Steelers fans, but it just seems like they constantly need to say they’re such a big fanbase.
Lol…Laura, if you go look at my comment on the Power Rankings post from last night, I basically said the same thing…
…except I actually took it a step further and likened it to men with micropenis 😛 “If he tells you it’s big – it’s not.”
And we thought Maksyl fans were nuts?
The fact that the conversation is now focused on steelers fans is awesome lol and only true football fans know how big the fan base is
Hmm…I never thought being obnoxious is something to be proud of. (scratches head)
When it comes to football it definitely is
Well, glad I didn’t take it too far then. That was probably my first comment on Pure I was worried about. 😉
But seriously though…comments on Pure, trolling on Twitter, etc. do not equal votes for Antonio. And it doesn’t really matter if we bow down to the almighty Steeler fanbase or not. Votes and judges scores are the only way Antonio or any of the contestants on DWTS advance.
Like you said on Twitter, this is a compliment to Pure more than anything because it means y’all are living rent free in their heads and also getting $ from the traffic they’re giving Pure.
I completely agree with you, Laura
@Carrie M – Don’t get me wrong, there have been plenty of nutty fanbases over the years here at Pure: the middle-aged, rabid Donny Osmond fans; the Bristol fans; the Hope fans (although we only ever saw a handful); the William Levy fans; the soap opera fans (particularly the General Hospital fans; the Zendaya fans; the Maksyl shippers; the Janel fans (who I still think are the most vicious)…it goes on and on. The Steelers fans were every bit as rabid back when Hines was on, but at least Hines could actually dance and was a likable guy…he was bound to win anyway. They are still just as hype this time around…it’s just that their guy kinda sucks, in the grand scheme of this season.
There is a lot of great competition this season so whoever wins I’m sure their fan add will be very happy and proud. If Antonio doesn’t win I’m hoping for Jodie. I love her
*base
On a different note, it was just released that Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec have cameos in Sharknado 4. That’ll be interesting!
I think I actually sat down & did the math once, and something like 26% of DWTS contestants have been in one of the Sharknado movies 😛
Oh Alesha…I have a feeling YOU will be the one SURPRISED when Antonio does NOT get runners up, but, we will see! 🙂
I consider Bachelor Nation to be another fanatics but even they CAN’T compare to the general viewers of DWTS. General viewers are the power voters. Antonio will not make it to the finale unless there’s serious pimpage from producers. Good example: Amy Purdy and Bethany Mota. Both are Derek’s, who’s the most popular pro, partners. Amy had less than 20K twitter followers, yet made it second place. Bethany Mota came with 2 million plus twitter followers (not counting 4M IG and 8M plus YouTube subscribers) made it 4th place. DWTS general viewers are equivalent to the CA, NY, FL, TX electoral voters in politics. I don’t know why I say this but there. 🙂
God the obnoxiousness of some of Steeler Nation makes me embarrassed to say I was born in Western PA! My dad is an avid fan and has been since they were in the cellar! Thank God he never considered being obnoxious a positive and I don’t give a flying fig about football, players or Steeler Nation. I just want one of the top two or three dancers to win and IMO Antonio doesn’t come near top three. I’m certainly doing my best to make sure he comes nowhere near the finale!?
This isn’t a football forum, Sarah. I can and will delete you if you don’t tone it down now.
So none of the three front runners are in the same pairing. I’m assuming this was to keep any team from completely running away with votes. So far I think I’ll enjoy Nyle and Jodie together best because I dislike Antonio and find Ginger boring most of the time(though I did enjoy her this past week and during Disney week). I at least enjoy Jodie, even if she probably won’t last much longer.
Oh Jesus. Idiot confirmation too.
Maybe I bets:
1st Dance: Wanya & Lindsay – Argentine Tango
2nd Dances: Judge Pick Bruno – Contemporary
On dancingabc on Instagram nyle and peta are dancing to paso with a song by panic by the disco and it seems by their caption it is the song Victorious.
I think that some Antonio fans get it (I’ve read some saying he needs to up his game and change his atitude) and some…well they are “interesting”. The only thing i guess i will say is at least they aren’t as bad as the Janel and Val ones and the Meryl and maks shippers.
Sidenote: I know the general rule is don’t feed the trolls but I have to say this, there is this phrase that’s been around for awhile but it’s worth repeating: “Perhaps, the less we have, the more we are required to brag” – john Steinbeck. Yes the steelers are popular but so was Doug flutie and Von Miller and their fan bases were large too.
Oh yes please PH (#61) get out the muzzle! (I beg you) The chest-thumping, fist-pumping, and mindless ranting of the “athletic supporters” makes me sick to my stomach.
It’s pathetic that so many people can’t support a team without being a complete jackass about it and losing all sense of perspective.
By the way, Nyle and Peta are dancing to victorious by panic at the disco
Source, Izzy.
And thank you for the source, Kennedy. 🙂
I am a steelers fan, but not an obnoxious one lol I will say I enjoyed watching Hines Ward more than AB. I just don’t find AB as committed. Last week his dance wasn’t that great, but the week before i thought it was good! I think what the obnoxious fans are trying to say is yes AB is down 1-2 points, but his fan base is so large it will get him into the finals. Remember Kirstie alley? Horrible but got second place. I’m hoping AB comes back with 10’s this week bc I won’t feel right voting for him and I probably won’t if he doesn’t deserve it or step up. I’m a Paige fan also. The difference this season is the competition is so close with all of them it’s hard to say who will make finals. Other seasons it’s 1-3 of them they predict can win. I’d say 4-5 this season can take it. It’s all about improvement too. If AB happens to kick butt next few weeks…just don’t be surprised he’s one of the last three that’s all their saying in a more harsh way lol I’m only obnoxious when it’s football 😉 guess we will see this week!!
I’m a huge sports fan and the steelers do have a huge fan base, and a huge amount of people that don’t like them as well – kind of like the cowboys and New England – you either love them or hate them.
I don’t know how to link an IG, but it did say On the dancingabc page “don’t panic. It’s not a disco, it’s a paso”
Hope that helps.
I forgot to add: “hope to be Victoriois this week”
I’ll defer to those who have a better sense of these things but after listening to “Victorious” by Panic at the Disco, I can see a Paso to it.
Paso definitely suits Peta’s stacatto style. Nyle will be fine with getting the character of the dance, but Peta needs to drill, drill, drill him to get his butt tucked and back arched to create the proper body shaping. Very few of the male celebs pull it off, but I love it when I see it.
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually hope Maks is in the training room this week so he can demonstrate.
Another one from the DWTS Instagram: Jodie and Keo will apparently be dancing to “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” by Etta James.
sounds like a jive for jodie & Keo i’m listening to the song right now
I have a feeling Ginger and Wanya are doing Paso and if that’s true then I’ll be disappointed since I would prefer to see Wanya and Lindsay do one with Witney for Trio Week to keep that tradition alive.
I’m also gonna guess Jive for Jodie and Keo.. Also guessing they might do the Christina Aguilera version.
I think a Jive is a good dance for Jodie. If she goes home on Monday (and I think she will) then I hope she goes out with a good dance!
I think Jodie’s fan base is strong, but so are several others and the judges don’t appreciate her ability. They keep harping on Keo as if he’s the celebrity this season. It’s a shame because the girl can dance.
I am a little worried for Wanya being in jeopardy because they have been downplaying him since week two. I also notice they rarely feature him on their FB page. I just hope viewers aren’t following their cue, but I think next week may be between him and Jodie. I just don’t think Antonio is going anywhere yet and I think Val’s fan base is helping Ginger.
Agree with Vogue that Nyle isn’t running away with it right now. I think his personality and the judges scoring him a little more fairly has shifted momentum a bit, along with Paige’s explosive jive. I expect we’ll see a finale contemporary kind of like Bindi’s though.
Yeah, if the info JUST CAME out and you rush here to post it, I’m going to delete you unless you also provide a source and other commentary. We ordinarily request that you give us time to update the site.
Hey guys this is not really a spoiler but a version.
Ginger’s Argentine Tango will not be the Lady GaGa version but will be the version by Lithuanian accordion player Martynas Levikis.
Here it here
https://youtu.be/AmCBOGpfexQ
Source, Nathan?
#Nathan Can’t watch it in USA
It will be a little weird seeing a jive to Wanya’s song since in my mind it is joined at the hip to Amber’s freestyle.
It was more speculation than fact PH. I know the Press Release says GaGa but the music arrangement for the dance suggests otherwise. Maybe i should have worded it better
US Version
http://youtu.be/uM0-jbi7uMQ
You might be right, Nathan – but the press release is from ABC.
Ahh.. Yes Nathan.. Katie and Anton’s Tango song! I really enjoyed that dance! And ever since I heard it I thought it’d be great for an Argentine Tango.
I like all the music choices for next week. Sounds like they picked songs very fitting to their styles.
I expect Ginger to actually do rather well with the Argentine Tango. If there’s a dance I like seeing from Val is the AT, so here’s hoping for something good.
Also really love Paige’s song. If done well, I can see it being another knockout performance from her. I think her ballroom is pretty great based on her Foxtrot and Quickstep.. nice frame and her footwork was very precise. Can’t wait 🙂
Great song choices all around this week. No complaints here. My fav has to be wanya and Lindsay’s song though. I had never heard that song before but it’s super catchy and made it onto my iPod (ironically had to take telephone off of it though to add it lol). Bruno must be very happy to have nyle and Jodie. My only complaint is that i would have put ginger and wanya with Carrie Ann and have Paige and Antonio with Len. Overall extremely happy with song choices and dances this week though. Fingers crossed the judges deliver big time as well.
Looking at Paige and Mark’s assignments this week, I wonder if their risk of being eliminated in Week 9 is now higher (that is, if they make it through this Monday first, of course).
Viennese Waltz will be more difficult to stand out against the other high impact dances (jive, paso, AT). And then she is paired with Antonio, who is unpredictable, for the team dance.
I guess I hope some goodwill for their jive can carry over to the following week?
#Vin If you’ve never heard that song then you must not have ever seen Amber and Derek’s freestyle. I highly recommend it.
Oh no. Wanya’s jive song is the same as Amber’s freestyle song. It would be hard to top that in my opinion because that freestyle was one of the best freestyles ever. Amber slayed that dance.
@suzy: Listening to the song back it hit me that the was her freestyle song so I can call that my millionth aha moment when on the threadmill lol. At least this time it didn’t involve calling the doctors office to schedule an appointment or realizing I locked my sister out of the house again lol. That was a fun freestyle but not my fav that season so I’m curious to see what Lindsay does with it with jive.
Cali, no point in borrowing trouble for Paige and Mark. What will be, will be.
I love Paige and Mark’s song so I’m just going to look forward to the Viennese Waltz. I’m sure Mark will come up with expressive but fluid choreography, and I hope Paige is able to dig deep, find a solid connection to the pain in the lyrics, and open up enough to share the emotion with the audience.
There are some excellent song choices this week which should make for a strong night of dancing. Now I just have to cross fingers and hope TPTB and The Stooges don’t ruin it.
According to Carrie Ann’s Instagram, Paige and Antonio have a paso to everybody wants to rule the world. Should be interesting, I wonder if we might get to see Paige do a more traditional paso?
Stone Cold is my favorite song, Viennese Waltz is my favorite ballroom and Paige &Mark is my favorite couple. What a perfect combination!
I really hope the version of “everybody wants to rule the world” that Paige and Antonio have is Lorde’s version. it’s much more powerful. never thought I’d say I’m rooting for Antonio, but this dance seems promising!
I love Everybody Rules the World by Tears for Fears. I guess I’ll be listening to Tears for Fears today, time to crank out my CD. Wait, are CD’s still relevant…. 🙂 Hey, I’m old.
LOL Sandy! I don’t think you are old. I still love my CD Walkman player.
@Vogue – Hubs and I are fossils… I have 3 full cases of my old cassette tapes and hubs still has his entire collection of 8-tracks. And the player that still works. 🙂
And did I mention our birth certificates were chiseled in stone. 🙂
Sandy and Mz V, your convo (#98-100) cracked me up. Thanks for then laughs.
Bit off topic: Since I’m sometimes out the room and miss some of the show chatter, Was there any more mention of Usher possibly being a guest judge? I love Usher!
LOL Nobleze, YW! lol 😉
This is the first time they have done the duets and all of them are a boy/girl pairing.
And that’s exciting that they “MIGHT” actually be dancing together, together
The last two times they did these celeb duets theme, the person who went home that night, their duet partner won the show.
Case in point, Alexa and Bindi, then Alexa left that night and Bindi went on to win, Danica and Meryl, Danica left that night and Meryl won.
I know it’s only twice, but that could mean something. Antonio or Jodie are heavily favored to leave Monday which could be a good sign for Nyle or Paige.
I thought they did duets last season, I remember when Tamar and Nick Carter did some duet within the Beatles Love dance, after she came back from the ER, and then she dropped out.
Anyway, I am enjoying this season and Tears for Fears will be an interesting maybe whimsical piece for a Paso. It will be I think less aggressive than the UFC Paso. I loved it, but if the criticism was it needs more Paso steps, I hope CA takes that note and not go too contemporary. I like it for Paige, I hope it will be better for Antonio, the footballers tend to do better on Paso, and he has to do better if this “team” is going to score well enough for Paige to stay in the competition. I think her fan base is growing, especially after that fantastic Jive, my fave from all 22 seasons, but I hope it isn’t a bit of sabotage to pair her with a guy who isn’t putting in the time but seems to be Teflon with the votes for himself. I too want a Nyle, Wanye, Paige finale, I think Nyle is a lock, but the others, very hard to tell.
Twice is coincidence, Matt.
Thank you Heidi, Courtney and Vogue for all the work you ladies do. I don’t necessarily always agree with the opinions voiced on this site, but I am grateful for the wealth of knowledge available.
Ginger said on her instagram that her and Wanya have samba for their duo.
I find dit a bit strange that Nyle hasn’t done either Jazz or Contemporary while all the others have.. but there’s still a little bit of time left so maybe.. I don’t know.
Nyle & Jodie as a pairing I probably like the most, I’m not sure how Peta and Keo will choreograph together but we’ll see.
I feel a bit bad for Paige and I really hope some investment into their duet is made by Antonio..
But also like some people said up there, the TPTB agenda is to give Ginger and asset like Wanya and then keep pushing the Antonio agenda and pimping him and the finals end up being Wanya, Antonio, and Ginger, I will have a problem.
Otherwise, the song choices are quite wonderful. :3
Cari I saw that too ginger put that she had a samba this week
#109 Bella – Wanya & Lindsay’s Week 6 Famous Dace (NSYNC performance) was a jazz routine.
Apologies Bella (#109), for whatever reason I read that as Wanya originally – you are right!
Am I the only one that isn’t all that excited for this week? With the scoring being so close and it being anyone’s game to go home, plus the wonky america’s judging thing, and the duo dance, I have a feeling it’s gonna be a cluster F of a show. I’m working late and will be missing most of it.. At first I was like “man I’m kinda sad” but then I thought about the fact that Derek isn’t on this season anyway so not too much for me to get excited about. Paige and Mark are my favorites, but with the wonky judging and scoring I’m praying she makes it through to next week.
I didn’t get how CAI could copy Derek’s idea…
Ginger and Wanya samba https://www.instagram.com/p/BFHkR50x58S/
I think Vogue was just wondering, Carlos, since Derek recently publicized a music video he was working that had a lot of the powder involved. Plus, apparently, CAI’s last dance was a take off of something Madonna did.
Bella (#110), I’m not sure what you’re trying to say about Nyle not having done Jazz or Contemporary yet. What do you mean by “strange”? What agenda do you think TPTB are following? Do you think TPTB are protecting Nyle from styles he might not be good at or hurting his chances by withholding styles that usually get easy high scores from the judges because they don’t know how to properly evaluate them? From what I’ve seen of Nyle all season, despite a few posture issues, there’s not a single dance style he can’t pull off.
PH, RE: ETA6, hope the company was good and the booze even better! 😀
That Noah’s routine was cleared based on Madonna’s living for love video… What made me wonder why they didn’t use that song… Anyway…
Antonio just has published parts of his Paso on snapchat. And the song is really lorde’s version.
Girl, these ice cream drinks which were like Wendy’s frosties but with 4 or 5 shots of stuff added. Amazing. Potent. 🙂
Yowza! Good thing you’re still young, PH. Sneaky drinks hiding “4 or 5 shots of stuff” are the ones that put me on my a$$. They didn’t used to, but since I hit the slippery side of 50 a few years ago, I have to be careful. It kinda sucks, but I guess a girl has to grow up sometime.
Btw, I don’t know if you remember Sytycd Season 10 promos… lots of color powder… and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched an ad that used same concept before it…
I’m not that young. I’m a geologist. 😉
Off topic alert!
We were staying in DC a couple of years ago for a wedding when we went down to the hotel bar to have a few drinks. I saw a lady drinking a festive looking bright green drink and asked the bartender what it was. He replied that it was a Tokyo Tea made with Midori liquor and “some white liquors like tequila, vodka and so on”.
I had two because it was so yummy.
I……..err……..got very plastered and did and said some extremely goofy, strange and ridiculous things. At one point I apparently was doing cartwheels down the hotel hallway. I was also speaking with a British accent.
I don’t remember anything! A very The Hangover movie experience, except without the roofies.
Susan2, It says a lot about you that you’re a happy, fun drunk! Hope you were wearing slacks (or at least clean undies) when you did those cartwheels. 😀
PH, Rock hounds rule!
LOL! You ladies are too funny! And Bravo to you Susan2 for still being able to do a cartwheel down the hallway. My bones ache just thinking about it.
Looks like there will be a double elimination next week per Paige’s post on FB from yesterday, which makes sense if we are going to a 3 couple finale.
Would that mean Ginger AND Antonio could go home!? Please let that happen!
@Cari, yes, I hope so. If he’s not leaving this week then I feel he’ll be gone next. Finals should be Paige, Wanya and Nyle and I think a lot of people feel the same way.
Looks like Nyle/Peta and Jodie/Keo will be dancing an Argentine Tango. It looked like it from the photos on Instagram, but it should be good. Nyle and Jodie’s section should also be interesting. A lot of good classic dances tonight. Very excited.
Tina if you go to her Twitter Feed Paige has corrected it. There is only ONE elimination this week. My guess is that Paige uses the same graphic each week and forgot to update it. Can’t fault her I constantly post stuff with out proofing it. To the best of my knowledge double eliminations have ALWAYS been announced at least a week in advance.
@Narice, it was on her Facebook I saw it I think, but the way she worded that was the double elimination would be for next week since we are voting tonight for next week. But if you do think about it makes sense because that’s the only way to get to a 3 couple finale.
Peta posted on twitter and instagram that they will be performing first. Not sure how that will affect scores
Jodie/Keo and Nyle/Peta are dancing Tango, according to her People blog.

(This one is the correct comment)
By the way. Peta posted on her Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/p/BFMeJCmyzhv/) that Nyle and herself are going first!
NYLE AND PETA FIRST!
Wow! I’m being productive today! Hahaha
According to Pera’s Instagram, she and Nyle are also dancing first.
On petas Instagram it says that they are dancing a tango with Jodie and keo.
Double elimination before the finale makes it a greater chance Paige won’t make it. She has the weakest fanbase of all the remaining contestants.
We’re voting in place of one of the judges tonight on ABC? So, another form of power voting? If so, this really sucks.
Nyle & Jodie got a duo dance style that neither of them have done before, whereas Wanya & Ginger have both already done Sambas. Wanya/Ginger may have the upperhand, but I hope Nyle/Jodie can come on top.
I’m hoping there won’t be anymore double eliminations so that there’ll be four in the Monday finals, and three in the Tuesday finale. One is bad enough.
@Cali think positive!!! Paige’s fan base seems to be gaining momentum so don’t count her out just yet. If she produces the same level of dances she has been the past few weeks I think she will make the finals.
Fanbase is tough topic to discuss. We are always expecting something, and sometimes being blindsided by this.
We’ve seen people like Cody Simpson and Bethany Mota being beaten by people who we assumed had smaller fanbases. Best example was Helio beating Mel. I mean, he defeated a Spice Girl (known worldwide). I’m from Brazil and I barely knew Helio! LOL
Maybe Antonio’s is not a big as we are expecting.
PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS before posting so we don’t have three different people all telling us the same thing. WE GET IT.
Pedro, it’s only tough for you to discuss. None of us here were surprised when Bethany didn’t last longer. Cody either.
PH, I wouldn’t have posted it, but I think the comments hadn’t been approved so it seemed like no one had done it.
AT is my favorite dance so I’m excited to see it twice. I think Val’s choreography really shines with Latin so while Ginger isn’t my favorite, not even close, I can’t wait to see what Val’s come up with.
When Paige and Mark are voted off, not if but when, I will not be interested in the remainder of the contestants. The promotion of tptb favorites is obvious. I am hoping Mark sends them out with as big a bang as last weeks dance.
@Ginny (148) – And why exactly are you so sure Paige is going home tonight? I find it very unlikely after her amazing performance last week. I’d be way more worried about Jodie and Antonio.
Pedro, Heidi updated the post….and please don’t leave links in comments. Also, please give us 15-20 minutes or so as we all follow twitter too, but, it takes us time to get everything updated.
#121-127: Ladies, you made my day with these comments! I needed a good chuckle!
Meg, Happy to be able to provide!
I have no doubt Paige’s duet will be great, but I think some of why it’s last and she’s 4th individually because if you check her snapchat you’ll see how much hair and makeup she and Mark have tonight. (colored contacts, face makeup,etc), so it could take lots of time to get ready for her duet.
I knew Bruno would pick Argentine Tango. If anyone knows Bruno knows it is his favourite dance style. In fact that is the duo I am most looking forward to.
