DWTS Behind the Scenes on 20/20
This is pretty hilarious – can’t wait to see the whole thing on Monday night. I looked and didn’t see where Vogue had posted this – think it just came out an hour ago if the tags are right. 🙂

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)
If interested, let’s do a Poll and get some general averages on the Top 4 favored couples currently on Dancing With The Stars Season 14. Directions: All you have to do is vote FOUR times in the Poll below for your current FOUR favorites. To have even more fun with this, be sure to let us know who you picked in the comments section. 😉 Special Note: Remember as you read and watch the results of the Poll that they aren’t always a correct reflection of how fans feel since a few fans like to try and manipulate the results 🙄 as our Miss Heidi has warned us of in the past, but, we’ve done our best technically to stop that from happening. Anyway, have fun and VOTE VOTE VOTE!!

So next week is Motown week, and I could not be more pumped! Seriously guys…I love me some Motown, so this was a fun list to compile 😎
Here’s the deal: so far, Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves, and The Temptations have all been confirmed as acts that are going to be singing live as the couples perform on Monday night. I’m not sure if they’re going to be singing for every couple or not, and I’m not sure if the songs the couples are dancing to are going to only be songs by those particular acts – the deets are a bit murky as of right now. We also don’t know for sure what dance Gladys has yet – our reader Magnolia (@TristanDWTSFans on Twitter…follow her, she’s cool :-)) has promised to let us know as soon as she finds out. There’s been speculation that it’s jive, so I went ahead and compiled a list of Motown jive songs just for the hell of it 🙂 Since TPTB have also expressed an affinity for recycling songs in the past few seasons in particular, I’ve pored through music from previous seasons and pulled out previously used Motown songs that we might see again. I’ve bolded the songs that are my “best guesses” for what we might see on Monday night, based on all the info above. If we get confirmation on any more songs, we will reveal it in Heidi’s “Who’s Dancing What?” post on Sunday, and I may update this post with other pertinent info as it comes out.
But for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the cool sounds of Motown – DWTS style! 😀
ETA: According to Donald’s Twitter, there’s supposedly a “Motown Marathon” dance to be done on Tuesday…take it with a grain of salt as we wait on the press release for next week to confirm. As for a possible song? Not sure what dance this Motown Marathon is going to be, but I imagine that the music will have to be something that can be looped continuously until the marathon ends, and it probably will be instrumental only. So in other words – I have no idea 😛 In the meantime, send me your soul food recipes at courtney@puredwts.com!

The Dancing With The Stars Make-up Team has started to release some “behind the scenes” shots of some of the celebrities from this past week. Below are Katherine and Gladys. Aren’t they beautiful? I love the work on their eyes. Check out their beautiful earrings too created by one of our sponsors Anne Koplik Designs. So cute! Click pics to enlarge.

Jaleel was a guest on The View. He talks about how his parents convinced him to do the show. He dishes on the Dance Duel on Dancing With The Stars and how Kym pulled him through the dance last night. They ask him on he and Kym’s fight and he says they are fine and perfect. Lots more below including his thoughts on the custody battle he’s facing as well…
UPDATE: Below is Jaleel on Wendy William’s show this morning. He says Dancing With The Stars is a blessing and a curse. WHA?? Isn’t he going a little overboard saying the show is a curse? It’s not the show’s fault he’s in a legal mess, etc..

We have some more media to share! Below is Ricki Lake and Toni Dovolani on Good Morning America with their thoughts on Monday night’s dances. Ricki gives her thoughts on Maria giving Derek a kiss too. lol
Afterbuzz breaks down Monday night’s dances as well. Note how Roshon Fegan and Anna Trebunskaya were their guests. Anna dishes on some fascinating things on the styles of dances again, etc. and Roshon is entertaining as always….
Then last night after the elimination, PopTVDotCom caught up with some of the cast after the show going to Tom Bergeron’s Mid Season party. Len Goodman’s comments are especially interesting. Some of the cast share their thoughts on Gavin being eliminated. Martina is in attendance. Peta talks fashion and much more…

Dang, my number post is looking pretty good right now. 🙂 Eh, don’t get used to it. I’ll probably blow it next week.
Anyway, after the obligatory chatter so that I don’t accidentally spoil anyone, Gavin and Jaleel did the dance duel and unfortunately, Jaleel was the clear winner…and the judges saved him.
What did we predict?? Well…
Heidi: I predicted Gavin would go with Melissa as an outside chance. However, I was reasonably confident that Roshon or Jaleel would be in the bottom two with Gavin, but that either one would beat him.
Courtney: Put Melissa at the bottom of her Power Rankings, thinking she might go home, but had Gavin as a possibility as well.
Vogue: Said that it would be Gavin and Gladys in the bottom two and that Gladys would lose.
And the winner is…well, no one, really. I’m totally bummed that Gavin went home and Jaleel is still there. However, my early prediction would be Jaleel and Roshon in the bottom two next week. As for Jaleel’s numbers, I’ll likely cover that in next weeks “Dancing by the Numbers” post, unless someone is dying for it now.

These are always fun to watch! And thanks Jaleel, but, no thanks! I didn’t need to the 6 packs again. ❓

Eh, it’s only a surprise if you haven’t been paying attention to me the last few weeks. I’ve been saying all along they have to have one to get to where they need to be in week 10 – unless they plan on going 11 weeks, which has only been done once before. Anyway, Robin Leach’s Vegas Deluxe claims the double elimination is next week:
Tonight, the program institutes the new dance-off policy to tackle fan popularity voting, and it will be the judges who end the run for one of the celebrity teams. Next week: A surprise double elimination on the same terms!
