PureDWTS Season 24, Week 9 – Power Rankings

In season 12, it was Ralph.  In season 18, it was Charlie. In season 20, it was Nastia. In season 22, it was Wanya…and in season 24, it was Simone. Following the precedent they set back in 2011, the show has managed to screw a worthy contestant out of a spot in the spring finale for four consecutive seasons now – and more often than not, it seems to happen in order to lend a hand to one of the Chmerkovskiy brothers.  It’s getting BEYOND predictable, to the point of the spring season almost following a template: let things happen organically for the first few weeks, then determine who needs to make the finale (must take mandatory Chmerkovskiy quota into account) and be sure to start neutralizing any threats (read: other good dancers that might prevent a Chmerkovskiy from making it into the finale) by having the judges underscore, nitpick, and generally demean said threats until the generally gullible cross-section of the voting audience (the “sheeple”) actually start to believe that contestant really isn’t any good after all and ceases voting for them. And because of this template, I have ZERO sympathy for the judges – practice your shocked faces all you want, but what happened last night was a direct result of all the meddling you’ve done.  The blood is on your hands, and I better not hear implications of “The audience has to vote! You guys sent Simone home!” next week – you don’t get to pull the puppet strings all season long and manipulate the viewers, and then blame Simone’s elim on them.

But I’m guessing that’s inevitably going to be part of the narrative next week, as they seem to be gunning for a 3rd MBT for Prince Joffrey Val – the “we’ve sent two of the best dancers home – don’t let it happen again!” strategy seems to imply that viewers should vote for the best dancer left, which if you believe the judges’ scores and critiques, is Normani (I don’t agree). If the audience is more woke than I give them credit for, it may more broadly imply “vote for one of the good dancers”, which would mean Normani & Rashad, and imply that voters should not be voting for David.  I’ve gotten several questions about how things are going to shake out next week, and I’m not 100% sure (like just about everything else this season), but I feel fairly confident in stating that they will likely lowball the sh*t out of David – as Heidi has stated multiple times before, the judges like to be RIGHT, and a season of gushing about pro dancer Normani only to have halfway-decent dancer David take the MBT makes them look…dumb. I think David is going to get the Noah/Alek treatment relative to the other two – scores several points lower on his two night 1 dances, to the point where votes won’t be enough to bridge the gap between him and Rashad/Normani.  As for the other two – who knows. The fact that they seemed a bit more lukewarm on Normani last night makes me think they’ve already accomplished what they really wanted – ensure Val makes the finale, to continue the narrative of Val being the “star of the show” and hopefully gain some younger viewers from Normani’s fanbase – and they won’t care quite so much about what happens from here on out.  The other part of me thinks they’re saying “Go big or go home!!!” and will continue the OTT gushing in an attempt to secure MBT #3 for Val. There’s just so much funny business going on that I just cannot state with certainty what exactly TPTB are trying to accomplish.  However, if you’re trying to be strategic with your vote (and some of you have expressed a desire to do just that), I would recommend tossing them to Rashad – and I’m not just saying that as a Shad fan 🙂 As I mentioned above, I think they’re going to score David such that it’s going to be a huge uphill battle to catch up to Shad & Normani, and I think there’s at least a decent chance that Normani is going to continue to get pimped right up until the MBT is handed out – so if you’re looking to really stick it to TPTB, I think Shad’s your best bet.

As for poor Simone – I think the thing that made me the saddest about the whole thing is that she almost seemed relieved to be heading home.  That speaks volumes – the fact that she had a meltdown in practice about doing the best she can and it not being good enough for the judges tells me that this show had long since stopped being fun for her.  This show BROKE her, to the point where not continuing seemed like a better bet than continuing on in the competition. So I guess if that’s what she really wanted at the end of the day – I’m happy for her, and glad she could go out on a high note. Other random thoughts? SO. MUCH. FILLER. LAST. NIGHT. If we cut out the two guest performances and cut back on mic time for random people (i.e. Normani’s grandma), I’m willing to bet we could have shaved a half hour or more off the running time. And I feel like every pro, current or former, that isn’t tied up with the DWTS tour is now trying to pull a Derek & Julianne and start their own tour…and each kinda feels like a less fully-realized version of MOVE. Yeah, it was kinda cool seeing Cheryl doing something really different for her – but it felt more like contemporary by numbers, than a truly creative, connected performance. Read more..

PureDWTS Season 24 Week 9 – Media, Interviews, Scores, And More After The Dances

This show really needs to find a different way to do eliminations. It just seems so unfair how they eliminate a couple from last week’s scores and voting and don’t count this week’s votes and scores as well. Yes, I’m still sad Simone and Sasha aren’t in the finals. It just doesn’t seem right and it’s happening way too often. But, wowww to all the dances last night. They were all so good… and Simone and Sasha went out on a high mark and will be remembered forever more.

Let’s review the scores:
Simone & Sasha (Carrie Ann Inaba) 40 (10, 10, 10, 10) 40 (10, 10, 10, 10) Eliminated
Normani & Val (Len Goodman) 36 (9, 9, 9, 9) 40 (10, 10, 10, 10)
Rashad & Emma (Bruno Tonioli) 38 (9, 9, 10, 10) 39 (10, 9, 10, 10)
David & Lindsay (Julianne Hough) 34 (9, 8, 9, 8) 36 (9, 9, 9, 9)

To relive all the dances again, see Idolxfactor (these videos work Internationally) and the official You Tube site.

For media, interviews, and recaps, first see People and Entertainment Tonight. Val and Normani tease on next week’s Freestyle here.

Glamour has their backstage interviews posted. I’m loving these two takes. Be sure to read more at the link.

Simone and Sasha will be back in the ballroom next week for the finale, and as tradition has it, will fly with the other three finalists for the after-party on Good Morning America the next morning. In the meantime, they are “100%” throwing their support behind Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater (naturally, given that Sasha and Emma are engaged).

Speaking of, Rashad was positively beaming backstage. The plan is for his dad (who is a double amputee) to fly out for the finale. Emma had no idea that was in the works, and was beyond thrilled to hear that Mr. Jennings might be in the audience come Monday night.

“The reason I want this so much is not just for myself,” Rashad told me afterwards. “I’m not a self-made man. It’s the love from family, from friends, [and those] who have made so many sacrifices for me. When it caps that story of community, of family, of hope, of dreams come true, and also my partner, [Emma] deserves the ball more than anybody. She’s amazing, she’s a workaholic. She takes her time, she teaches, and I honestly don’t want to let her down either. There’s plenty that I’m out here dancing for.”

David Ross: What?! How? I don’t even see me winning this thing!

Glamour: There’s two reasons: 1) You’re one of the nicest, most charismatic people, and that comes through each week. 2) You are what this show is about; taking someone without any dance experience and turning them into a dancer. So what would winning Dancing with the Stars mean to you?

David: Can I give you a dead honest answer? I don’t know if I would feel really great about it because of all the hard work, or guilty that I know I’m not the best dancer. You know what I mean? When I started out on this, if I got to week three, I was going to be happy personally. But as it’s gone on, I’ve really wanted to get a Mirrorball trophy for [Lindsay] as much as for me. Cause of this relationship—she’s amazing. To show the world that she can show me how to dance and get that many votes and to win it would mean everything to me because she’s amazing. She deserves it more than I do.”

Below are some interviews with FOX. Note the small hint at the end on Emma and Rashad’s freestyle for next week. As always, David is so humble… Read more..

DWTS Season 24, Week 9 – LIVE BLOG (Spoilers)

Well, I’m almost afraid to watch…and honestly, I’d rather be in bed. Coughing. Damnit.

First prediction of the night….they put Rashad and Simone in jeopardy after calling David safe.

Can Val do the 12 bars in hold? I think he better. Gee, Val, she would be better in hold if you would have been choreographing ballroom this whole time.

Typical Chmerkovskiy – takes forever to get started. The music is bad and it’s  resulting in a very staccato V. Waltz – looked more like a tango starting out. I do love the camera effect though. Because because it’s the judges dance they will all kiss ass – until they get to Simone anyway. I didn’t actually see the stumble the judges saw, but I AM sick. 🙁

9’s – seems about right. And once again, Val, STFU!!! It’s no wonder I have no clue about Normani, dude is a microphone hog.

Oh boy, Simone’s edit. Not sure what that means. Read more..

Dancing With The Stars Season 24, Week 8 – Dancing by the Numbers!

Every week I have to ask myself, how low will the producers/judges go? Every week. It didn’t used to be like this. This show has become a POS, nearly unbearable to watch. I find that sad, honestly. Are they going to find anyone who wants to do it besides the desperate celebs, Pro dancers who need jobs and other pros who have nothing better to do? I suppose there’s always a chance Derek could come back for a season if he’s down to four projects at one time – he seems determined to never have a spare moment. I hope not. I hope he’s gone for good – he might like the teaching, but I don’t think most of his fans want to see him in that fake, manipulated situation any more. Not to mention that whoever he gets as a celeb is going to get beat up to make sure they don’t win.

Lots of talk this week about the judges’ comments. You know, this isn’t the first time that Len has been horribly cruel, beyond the pale. He’s done it before. What’s different now is that instead of a one-off Len temper tantrum, it’s part of a much larger campaign to make sure the chosen one gets to the finale. And others don’t. Everywhere you turn, the show has changed in ways to attempt to get one specific person to the finale. Everything they are doing now, has been done before…but never all at the same time. And why? So Val stays to the end? If Val was all that big a deal, he wouldn’t need the help. Derek, the one that Val appears to obsesses over more than any fan does, never needed this sort of help. Hell, MAKS never needed this sort of help – he may not have won but one time, but he was legit popular without the pimping and over blown fawning. Derek and Maks have both had partners who couldn’t dance. Derek has WON with partners who had no training at all. In his 18 seasons on the show, they’ve tried to give him duds (tried hard, at times) but still never finished lower than 6th (twice) – most of the time cracking the top 4. With NON-dancers and dancers alike. Because he’s good and he works HARD. Read more..

Dancing with the Stars Season 24, Week NINE – Who’s Dancing What…and When?

What crap ass theme do we have this week?  Just two plain ole dances? Seems like I heard about a theme of some kind but it’s not coming to me right now. Oh lord, Judge’s Challenge. What BS.

George posted the songs and dances and look at that – Normani is the ONLY person to not have two ballroom dances. Jesus, just give her the damn MBT and quit this charade of a show. This show has never been more transparent or more disgusting. Just spare us all and cancel it already. If they’re going to tilt it heavily in Val’s favor every season what’s the damn point?? I guess it’s to keep him in a job since he has nothing else to do.
