Just wanted to say a giant thanks to all of you who make this site so incredible. As has been said before, it increase the enjoyment of the show tremendously. I really appreciate it and all of you!
Just want to second everything Jess said above! Also a big thanks to John for updating the server. I’ve had a heck of a time lately posting or even connecting to this site. The good news is how many people are coming here and loving it. Regulars know why! P)
Vogue, looks like I’m going to need a smiley tutorial soon! 🙄
Thanks Jess & Meggie 🙂 Just curious…are you guys still able to see this post? Apparently some people are only able to access it intermittently…or not at all 🙁
Yes, I can still see it – no problem!
Yes, all is working for me. Thank you all for all you do! Can’t wait for tomorrow night. Should be very interesting with the song choices. But are they trying to do Nancy in with that song & a jive?
So far Nancy and Hope’s songs are the only non-repeats from past seasons.
I still find it odd that both JR and Ricki have the same dance for both when they have other dances they still haven’t done. Why couldn’t they have given Ricki a Cha Cha and JR a Paso?
Ok, I just imported this post that was published on the old server onto the new server. So, for the record, if you can see this comment, then you can see the new server.
Officially, it can take up to 2 days for all of the internet to know about the new server. Sometimes it even does funky things like show you the new server one time and then the next time show you the old one again. However, 95% of the people should be ready for the show tomorrow.
I disabled comments on this post on the old server. Hopefully that will hold people off for now.
And I can see it!! Woot!!!!
I can see it too! Yay! Bring on Monday night.
Count me in!
Boy, they sure are not being original with the song choices this week.
Yay! It’s like the clouds have cleared and the sun has come out. Thank you, John, Courtney, et al!!!
Okay, onto the post… Seems like pretty whack-a-doodle song choices this week. I’m super nervous for Nancy’s jive to that song. Tristan’s really going to show his talent as a choreographer, hopefully, with this because it seems kooky for a jive to me.
Hope…oy…I’m nervous for a samba for her anyway, but that’s also a kind of strange song.
I think JR and Karina will do well with their tango, and I’m excited about the team dances.
It’s going to be an interesting night for sure tomorrow. I think I may end up being underwhelmed like some people were for last week. We’ll have to wait and see….
Awwww…… I am going to hate saying goodbye to Nancy and Tristan, but it looks like they’re doing everything possible to make them say goodbye this week. First Carson, then Chaz, now Nancy.
I LOVE the song they have, but it is definitely going to be craptastic, I just cannot see them being able to edit it down to 90 seconds, and have it be Ren halfway adequate. And, the only people I’ve ever seen or heard do a passable version of the song was Zac Brown Band.
I guess it’ll be a test for Tristan, how well wil he be able to choreograph a craptastic song? We know that Derek (usually) does fantastic, Karina managed a fantastic foxtrot to Boom Boom Pow…
Glad to see the problems are solved. Thank you guys. for everything you do.
This week…i can hardly wait for the Team Paso…i love that song…and Derek took the lead choreographing… so…it will be great. Derek never lost a team dance until now and i trust he will win this one too…on the other hand…team tango is also very good..and Kym and Karina will definitely step it up.
Nancy has improved but…this jive is the kiss of death for her…at least it would normally be…but this season has been anything BUT normal …so..wait and see. I got the feeling that the whole Ireland votes for Tristan and Nancy has a strong fan base too.
I am pretty sure Rob will do good with the tango..he is stiff enough to pull it off.
Cha-cha will be kind on David…i have a feeling this dance is his cup of tea.
Hope…no way she can pull off a good Samba…no way. but maybe Maks has another Ace up his sleeve to keep them from leaving..
JR and Ricki…well…normally they should have no problem…but as i said…season 13 is not really known for his normality…trust Derek will come up with a mind blowing Paso.
Aw, Evan and Anna’s paso song. It kind of annoys me when they reuse songs.
Yippee!! The fog-monsters shrouding this article have lifted, and life is gooooood. Woot!!! Thanks again for all your hard work making the transition to the new server.
I like most of the songs this week, especially Bring Me to Life, Devil Went Down to Georgia and Werewolves of London but I’m not sure how well the last two are going to work for the dances Nancy/Tristan and Hope/Maks have. I’m particularly worried for Nancy. I agree with those who feel they’re setting her up as this week’s sacrifice.
Glad the servr move is working out so well – this is fast!
Love the word choices in these comments… craptastic, whack-a-doodle, oy.
I daresay Nancy probably got the worst song this week – not because the song itself sucks, but because I have no clue how the hell Harold is gonna tweak that one to make it jive. 😯
Hope’s song seems a bit weird for a samba, but she may fare a bit better at it than I originally thought – apparently Maks has been forced to rest his toe, so Ted has stepped in to partner Hope in rehearsals (with Maks in the background barking orders, of course ;-)). Apparently it’s been working really well – Hope seems to be really learning the dance. So she may not be quite as awful as I initially anticipated.
I’d say Ricki & David probably got the best songs (and I will be posting those shortly ;-)), Nancy & Hope got the worst, and JR & Rob just got okay-ish, predictable songs. They are reusing quite a few this week – the only ones with new songs are David, Nancy, & Hope.
Yeah, I’m worried about Nancy and the jive, but the team dances could really make things screwy this week. Depends on how they’re scored – last time, IIRC, the teams both got a score, which was added to the individual performances. So, lets say that after the individual dances, Nancy & Tristan are at the bottom by a few points. But, their team wins the team dance, again by a few points. So, you could wind up with *everyone* pretty much bunched together, without a lot of ground to make up. That would make it a battle of fan bases….
But on the other hand, 2 scoring opportunities gives the 3 Stooges a perfect opportunity to “Ralph” somebody. 🙁 Tomorrow night will be interesting…
My eyes just grew to the eyes of saucers when I saw Ricki and Derek’s song and the theme to their dance. I am so F-ing excited for this Paso Doble knowing it’s one of Derek’s strongest dances for his celeb partners.
Of course I meant *size of saucers*… i do wish we had an edit feature here… but i am totally grateful for the new server and all you guys do here at PDWTS! Luv ya!
Oh, don’t mean to spam the thread, but – The Evanescence song; wasn’t it the one Anna & Evan did the Paso to? I seem to remember that dance had to be left off the “Top 10 List” because DWTS couldn’t get it cleared… wonder what happened this time?
I love David’s song!!!! and i think Sweet Dreams with the “Little Red Riding Hood” theme should give Derek the opportunity to amaze us once again…and Ricki loves to perform … this is gonna to be a great one!
OMG… I LOVE Ricki and Derek’s song!
I can’t wait to see what he has come up with for it.
I think it will be between Hope and Nancy for the bottom spot tomorrow – and Hope might get saved by the team dance.
For the first time this season I’m really excited about the performances. Bring it on!
Wow, excited to see Derek & Ricki’s Paso Doble to Beyonce’s Sweet Dreams! Very passionate song. I think it will be great for a Paso!!
So excited for Monday night performances~~~
Thanks for posting all the dances&songs! It definitely adds to the anticipation of the show!! You all rock!!!
No worries, Sally 😉 And yes, “Bring Me to Life” was Evan & Anna’s paso in season 10. Not sure why they would have had issues clearing the song then but not now; I’ll see if I can scout out a reasonable explanation. But with the exception of Hope, David, & Nancy’s songs, all the others this week are recycled: “Sweet Dreams” was Chad & Cheryl’s paso in season 10; “Ghostbusters” was Monique & Louis’ cha-cha and “Addams Family” was Joey & Edyta’s tango back in season 3, the last time they had a Halloween show; and “Disturbia” was Lance & Lacey’s tango in season 7. Lotta songs being reused this season.
I’m also pumped about Ricki & Derek’s paso – was skeptical at first, but my curiousity is piqued now. Not gonna lie – was kinda holding out for “Black Magic Woman” by Santana for David’s cha-cha, but “Abracadabra” ain’t too shabby. All I think of when I hear Hope’s song is that one Kid Rock song where he did kind of a mashup between “Werewolves of London” & “Sweet Home Alabama”. I think it was called “Summertime”?
Crap – I meant Chad & Cheryl’s TANGO in season 10. Too much going on in my head, apparently…
Courtney, that Kid Rock song went through my head immediately when I saw Hope’s song!
lol props to the couples who do the same dance twice. you lucky people you. but out of this list, im the most excited for the team paso.
and btw. do you get to vote twice for each couple since their is two dances, or still only once?
Looks like we have:
Vampire
Devil
Magician
Werewolf
Ghostbuster
Red Riding Hood
not bad. not bad at all. theres gonna be so much BLACK >.<. lol if hope and maks could go as bella and jacob XD
Okay, I’m back. 🙂 But if Courtney could continue to do the updates, I could update PureDerekHough – which needs several hours worth of work. And if you looking for cheese, start spamming her. 😉
how sure are you that nancy is dancing to that song
Dylan, we’re positive.
Cheese please! Just following Heidi’s instructions! 😉
Say “cheese”!
PureDWTS readers: 🙂 🙂 🙂
What does Beyonce’s sweet dreams song have 2 due with Halloween? And littel red ridoing hood, what? CHEESE 🙂
Yeah, “Sweet Dreams” by Beyonce really doesn’t have that spooky, Halloween flair to it. Now “Sweet Dreams Are Made of These” does, but I believe they used that for 80s week (correct me if I’m wrong on that).
So if Maks has been having to rest his toe, then is he dancing or is Ted going to continue on with it? Interesting. But I guess having an extra set of hands in the room with a hard dance like samba is will help things. 🙂
#36 Even though Little Red Riding Hood is a children’s story, it’s actually been portrayed recently in the media as quite a scary story. First there was that movie ‘Red’ with Amanda Seyfried this past year and it was a dark thriller. Then more recently, the first episode of NBC’s Grimm focused on LRRH and the big bad wolf and it was pretty scary. FYI, I think Nappytabs choreographed a hip hop dance for Melanie and Twitch with a LRRH theme and it was really dark and heavy.
#36 If you look at the lyrics and analyze the song + musicvideo you can see that it has an occult feeling to it. There are references to both spirit possession and mind control.
The song is essentially about a womans love of her mind controlled state and of her controller.
I lol-ed at Nancy’s song. Didn’t she say something like ‘the devil is dancing tonight’ about tot-mom case? lol
Did I say that I’m not a fan of recycling songs? heheheh
Adams family to tango? already with Joey and Edyta… =/
Ghostbusters to tango, ok. It was used to Monique and Louis chacha, but I can accept danced in another rhythm…
Just downloaded Nancy and Hope’s songs and – if i downloaded the right songs – can’t figure out how they will dance a jive and a samba to these musics. Seriously… =o it’s more like a quick and a chacha, IDK…
David & Kym are dancing 1st tonight:
https://twitter.com/#!/davidarquette/status/131012818601381890
Tonite, based on the songs, I think the best couples are going to be Rob and Cheryl, RJ and Karina and Ricki and Derek, definely.
Maddy – Nancy definitely made her ‘devil’ comment about the Casey case, and I hadn’t made the connection! 🙂 GA is her home so, voila! Erie song!
In other news, Kim Kardashian apparently filed for divorce this morning. I’m currently taking bets on whether or not the Kardashian Klan will turn up in the audience tonight…will they lay low and rally around Kim, or show up and cause a sensation? $5 minimum bet, kids 😉
Cheryl told Kris J that she’ll miss her tonight on twitter. So i guess we wont see them tonight.
Hi everyone. First time commenting on this site. I read it all the time and want to thank everyone for all they do to make DWTS come to “life” between live shows.
It’s been an interesting 13th for the show. I’m looking forward to tonight’s show. I’m a huge “Derek” fan. I hope he and Ricki make it to the finals but I really think JR is the one to beat. He is great.
Happy Hallowe’en.

Here it is.
Re: KIM K — I’d be pissed if I went all out for her weeding “gift”….just sayin’ LOL!
oops….wedding not weeding…ha!
Hi Everyone,
Couldn’t wait to get back on here. Bad storm took down limbs and power lines… Running on generator now and I don’t know if I will get to see the show tonight. For a quick peek I can find out so much information about the show tonight right here.
Thanks to All!! Keep up the great work. 🙂
@Sally @Courtney ABC may have had a hard time clearing the Evanescence song at first is because Disney/ABC doesn’t like to pay a lot for performance and sync licenses compared to others. That, and some artists just don’t want their songs licensed for certain uses… ABC may have had an easier time this time because when they licensed the song the first time they may have negotiated a term on the license. In other words they may have licensed the song for so many years or in perpetuity. I think that’s the reason why songs tend to get recycled. If ABC and the artist/publisher agree to licenses say for two years then the producers can use that song as many times as they want in that two-year period. Touchstone and Disney love to use the same songs over and over in movies because it’s cheaper to use two or three cleared songs over again rather than licensing multiple songs.
Just a thought, but Ricki and JR may be doing the same for both of their dances if Derek and Karina took the lead in choreographing the team dances. Would have given then a little more time for thr group dance.
Hope is dancing last
Hope dancing last?
The one week that I don’t predict her to and she does. I’m just glad that someone other than JR is closing the show. Some couples are lucky to get it once in a season and JR’s already had it 3 times.
It doesn’t reallt matter who dances last of the six couples this week.
The team dances closes the show.
Hope may dancing last out of the couples, but she’s not closing the show – the team paso doble is. And really, at this point in the competition – running order doesn’t matter much anymore. So few couples remain and most viewers have already picked a favorite, so running order likely won’t have much affect on voting…plus there’s stuff like the team & group dances that are kinda making the running order wacky.
@Katarina – I kinda mentioned it my my “what’s left to dance?” post, but if I had to guess, they may have said “The team captains will have the same dance for their individual dance as their team dance so that they can really focus on the technique and help their teammates out.” Or they may say nothing at all about it. Who knows.
@RJ – Well I understand that they may have term licenses on certain songs, but the weird thing about “Bring Me to Life” is that it was used in season 10, then was deliberately left out of the countdown of the top 10 dances in DWTS history in season 11 because they weren’t able to clear it – and now it’s back. If it was a term license, why wouldn’t they have been able to use it last year, but it’s ok this year? Just seems odd.
And Carlos, while I agree that “Devil Went Down To Georgia” is not a good jive, I’m gonna disagree with you on “Werewolves of London” – the samba beat in that one seems pretty strong, actually. It’s just the mood of the song that seems odd.
@Courtney Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I didn’t watch all of season 11. In that case I would say that it had more to do with the continued fued between songwriters Ben Moody and Amy Lee. Either that or ABC didn’t want to fork out the dough if the publisher wanted more money the second time around… You’re right though, that is weird especially because they cleared it this time around. It’d be less odd if they weren’t able to ever clear it again. In that case I would say that the writers or publishers didn’t like the HWB’s version.
So Hope & Maks dance their samba and then the team paso right after?
@Courtney Actually on second or third thought I bet it could have been a sync license issue… Live shows or live-to-tape shows like DWTS and The Tonight Show do not have to obtain a sync license for first-run shows, but if an episode is re-run then the show has to obtain a sync license as opposed to just a performance license. That’s a whole different ball of wax because sync licenses can cost big bucks for movies & TV shows. I didn’t see S11 but if ABC was replaying a dance shown on a previous episode then it’s possible they had to obtain a sync license and either ABC didn’t get the negotiation done in time (given that the writers weren’t speaking) or ABC didn’t want to pay.
Team Paso goes last. So it should be Hope/Maks, Team Tango, and then Team Paso.
