DWTS13, Week 8 Interviews After The Results, Dancers Talk On Next Week’s Dances
On The Red Carpet, Access Hollywood, and ET interviewed Karina, J.R., Cheryl, and Rob after last night’s results show to get some hints on their upcoming dances. Note how Maks, Hope, Derek, and Ricki weren’t interviewed by these media outlets unless they are planning to post their interviews later today? Anyway, here’s what Karina, J.R., Cheryl, and Rob revealed….
First up, we have J.R. and Karina. They talk of how all the remaining couples have a Cha Cha Relay dance. They had to pick which order they are going to dance. Karina says they will all dance to one song for 35-45 seconds each. J.R. reveals they will dance in order #3!! These two also have the Argentine Tango and the Paso Doble (my two favorite dances! 🙂 ). J.R. talks about the fear and motions going into the next round. They went straight to rehearsals after the show to start getting ready. Karina already has the dances choreographed.
Next, Rob is so thankful for everyone voting for them. They have the Samba and the Argentine Tango (along with the Cha Cha Relay). Cheryl says they need to make sure they stand out next week. Rob is most fearful on the Samba. He also talked of dancing the Salsa with Mark and Shirley Ballas the night before (which makes me wonder on one of the Final dances if he makes it?). Cheryl planned to choreograph their number last night and they start their rehearsals today.
Here’s to the quarter finals everyone!!! 😉
When I saw Mark tweet that he was going out with the Kardashians, I knew he’d be giving Rob pointers lol…..but with Shirley…WOW! Rob, lucky dog, has 3 pros helping him…(joking). I think he’ll handle the pressure, but the samba…we’ll see 🙂
I’m loving Karina this season.
I don’t why I shake my head so much at Maks whenever he says, “Hope finally got the 9s she deserves” and “Now we’re waiting for tens.” Does he REALLY think she’s a “BRANDY” level dancer? Anyway, she’ll probably do well in the Paso. It was interesting to hear Maks say during the results show clip that he’ll carry her around (during Quickstep)—since my tween said during the dance Monday night, “Maks is dragging her again.”
Maks is more than a little delusional. 10’s?? Talk about a loss of credibility. On the judges parts, that is. Oh wait…too late. 🙂
All’s fair – Mark giving Rob pointers (and Shirley too) is fine by me. I know that Derek used to give male celebs pointers all the time even while he was competing still. And I’m pretty sure he gave some tips to Hines at the beginning of last season.
This has probably been dicussed before and I missed it – but does the Cha Cha Relay replace the WTA Cha Cha? How are they going to score it?
@Rebecca – Yes, it’s in lieu of the WTA cha-cha. I haven’t heard all the details yet, but I imagine that it’s going to be scored similarly to the cha-cha relay of season 9, where the judges rank the couples worst to best and give them 4, 6, 8, or 10 points each. The scoring is quite a bit fairer, IMO, than the WTA cha-cha – it can give certain contestants a bit of a boost, but it’s not a 15-pt dump like the WTA that practically guarantees a couple a spot in the finals. Make sense?
Yes that makes perfect sense and makes me a lot happier than the WTA cha-cha did 🙂 Thanks!
Okay—Hope is being replaced on the US team for training camp since she….ready…..had two tremendous dances on the show last week…..I’m sorry, you can’t hear me (uncontrollable laughter). Here’s a link:

(Hope it works)
Thanks, Vogue, for the abstract of the videos you post. I like it bc sometimes we can’t watch the videos outside USA. really thank you =]
Guys, don’t tell me you never noticed this? Maksim always says this to his partners. “Keep the frame, I’ll do the rest”, “Just keep going, Imma make you do great”, or something like this… on rehearsals, on backstage… Think I saw this a lot of times since when he was with Denise/Debi…
(here i go with my critics to maksim, but) I don’t like this approach too. I know the woman leads the man and stars don’t learn TO DANCE on DwtS but a choreography but, well, I can’t understand this proccess of teaching he has… (wich top was on the team paso with Hope…)
*the woman follows the man
Sheery, thanks for that news!!!
Carlos, you’re welcome and thanks too!!
Whatever happen to the “Ballroom Battle”? I thought some pros were going to have their” couples’ compete against each other and it was going to be aired on dwts.
Was it scratched?
Louis said on twitter that ballroom battle was scratched, yes.
