Pure Dancing With The Stars Little Odds And Ends Post!
Just a couple of things capturing our attention. First of all, Special Thanks to Heidi and the winner at Pure Derek Hough, Derek has a new team t-shirt to wear for rehearsals. Hey, a hot guy with a hot car needs a hot shirt!! 🙂 More from where that came from at Heidi’s.
Secondly, do you not love it when the couples ‘genuinely’ thank their fans for voting for them? Some go an extra mile to do it at twitter, facebook, etc. Here is what Tristan and Nancy did in thanking their fans.
Lastly, below are some hot new pictures of the Troupe from Sharna Burgess’ Facebook. What a powerhouse they were Tuesday night!! I’m loving them all!! I can’t decide who is my favorite? How about you?
Adding: Below is Harry Connick Jr. with who his pick to win the show….
Ok, that is all! 😉
Derek’s looking good in that Drickilous Tee shirt! Thanks for posting! Cool shirt and he wears it well! Love the shout out he gave to the fans.
Boy, I love Tristan! (and Derek as always!)
Not gonna lie… Derek looks fly in that shirt. Very nice! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed Derek and his hotness until Monday night. Welcome back, D!
As for Tristan… God bless, can the poor guy get any more precious? Love the modest eye roll! Good grief… And unlike some other people (*cough* WP *cough*) I do not think it’s becoming to slam someone’s partner during a very sweet thank-you message to their fans. Both genuinely appreciate the support and looked blissfully exhausted. So, well done, MacGrace.
As for the troupe – I think they are going to be great! So glad Oksana and Kiki are back, and I’m loving the new additions! Sasha is so explosive and fast, and Sharna and Dasha are sassy and sexy! Can’t wait to see more from them all!
Great post, Vogue!!!
I loved watching the new troupe Tuesday – very exciting! Good to see Teddy V back. I wonder if Nicole V decided she didn’t want to be in the troupe anymore, or she wasn’t ask back??
No doubt about it, Derek is a hottie and he seems like such a sweet guy. So glad he’s back!
Did D cut the sleeves off of his tee? I thought they were V-neck t-shirts…
Oh, and @SherryJ – from the way Nicole was tweeting about a month or so ago, it’s sounding like she just wasn’t asked back. Kinda sucks, but c’est la vie.
Derek looks great in the T-shirt, and so nice of him to wear it because we fans love it and him! DWTS last season didn’t have the same level of excellence or excitement without him. Also, I’m liking Tristan; he seems to be a really good dancer, I like the connection he has with Nancy, and he definitely has the “cuteness factor” as well as an endearing personality and humbleness and appreciation to the fans. Derek has led the way with these qualities and its nice to see another dancer emulate him. For some reason, the troupe leaves me cold: I wish the producers used the pros that aren’t on the show this season because at least I feel I have a connection with them. I don’t seem to connect with the troupe as of yet.
Forgot to include this: I just have to give a big thank you to the wonderful people that run this high-quality Pure DWTS site because it sure makes the whole DWTS season even more fun. Its great to be able to come here and read about, look at videos, and share about how we love this show, so THANK YOU!
Aww, you are so DW!! And thank you for reading and commenting!!! That goes for all of you!!! xxx 😉
Yeah, he cut the sleeves off, the little turd. 🙂 He did last time too. Unfortunately, the site I use for the shirts doesn’t carry v-necks. I tried switching to another site, but they want you to buy in bulk. And I’m a fan, but I’m not crazy. 🙂
Ha! I was going to say what a cutie Tristan is but I see many have beat me to it! I much prefer him to Louis or Dimitri. He’s one of the good new additions. 🙂 Agree with DW about the troupe. Not feelin’ it.
My favorite in the troupe is Oksana Dmytrenko. 🙂 She reminds me a bit of Anna T.
The only 2 troupe members that I really connected with last season got promoted to full-time pros, so I think I’m gonna have to try to reconnect with the new troupe this season. I agree jimmboe, Oksana is cute and vaguely Anna-ish, but as terrible as this is gonna sound…I still get that “mail order bride” vibe off of her sometimes. Everything about her just seems a bit cloying…the long blonde hair, the honeyed accent, the girl-next-door makeup, and the crazy faces she makes while dancing. And unfortunately, while I love Dasha and the way she moves, the minute she starts talking I start to get the same vibe from her – except she’s the mail order bride for those who prefer more of a sexpot 😛 Maybe it’s the thick accents, maybe it’s just a bad edit, but both of those two seem a bit over-the-top in their mannerisms. And for those curious – the reason I seem fixated on this whole mail order bride thing may have something to do with the fact that my stepmother is a mail-order bride (seriously). But the one I have the hardest time connecting to is Sharna – likely because she seems like a hybrid between Lacey and my bf’s ex-gf/dance partner, hehe. But I can see why they cast each one of the girls in the troupe – Oksana could fill Anna’s shoes, Dasha could fill Karina’s, and Sharna’s the perfect stand-in for Lacey. If they’re aiming to cultivate talent in the troupe to eventually replace some of the current pros…they’re doing it right.
I’m a little more apathetic about the guys – I like Ted, but he’s almost a bit too laid back and agreeable for me. Kiki’s a non-event – he barely talks. And Sasha…he’s cute in an elfish kind of way, but I just can’t bring myself to picture him as a leading man.
that shirt was my number one choice..i always though Derek would look great in it…actually he looks even better than i imagined (and that is hard to pull off) and he is into black right now.. perfect match! loved Jordan’s design at first glance (thx Heidi for pulling this off once more)…oh yeah…i like Tristan a lot too. he is soooo sweet and his accent makes him yummy …i could listen to him forever…i think he is the best addition to the show (don’t throw rocks at me but I’m not particularly found of Peta …i do hope Chelsie comes back next season)…and the troupe…i like the girls…not so sure about the guys just yet..we’ll see…
What a sweet, genuine thank you from Team MacGrace! Tristan is just the most lovely person, and he and Nancy are a great combination. Love the wonderful chemistry between them. 🙂
