DWTS All Stars, Week 9 – Dancing by the Numbers
Some of you may recall what I’ve said on more than one occasion in various blogs on this site. I’ve said…when the judges get REAL, someone who has been previously deluded gets mad. And that, my friends, is Val and his big bro, who really needs to stay off twitter during the show. I think that’s all the attention that I will give these children – really what more can be said about them at this point?
Anyway, Shawn and Melissa did great, although I thought that Melissa’s AT was overscored by a point or two for being too soft (as per usual). She also made the mistake of her Lindy – too many lifts such that some of them were a bit messy. I also find it amusing that when given the opportunity Melissa and Tony LOAD UP on the lifts and tricks (Lindy and AT…and the caveman hustle, for that matter), but some fans whine about Shawn. Derek stripped their AT down to technical cool – it was also a tad soft, but it was a better dance than Melissa’s, despite what CAI thinks. Like I said in the comments – I want Melissa in the finale, so I’ll live with a tiny bit of overscoring. 🙂 But if Shawn didn’t deserve a 30, Melissa didn’t either.
Apolo?? AWESOME Rumba – far better than Kelly’s. I will confess that I don’t know enough about Jazz to know if that was good or not. I liked it, despite a couple minor difficulties. But hell, Emmitt slipped last week and got 10’s, why not Apolo?? Emmitt was overscored on his first dance and, as Courtney pointed out on Twitter, it’s this sort of scoring that sends better dancers home. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
Here is our scoreboard after two dances – and my top three coincide with the Judges Top 3. Awesome. Not that it means anything.
At the bottom, we have Emmitt and Kelly. I think that if Kelly or Emmitt manage to stick around it will be at Melissa’s expense and I hope like hell that doesn’t happen because Melissa is ten times the dancer that Kelly is. But, that’s the funny thing about an All Star season – you aren’t guaranteed a spot just because you’re a good dancer. That goes for Apolo and Shawn too – no guarantees.
Anyway, what do Emmitt and Kelly have to do to survive the double elimination?? We’ll write this from Kelly’s perspective, but just insert Emmitt’s name in her place to see what he needs – it’s the same. She needs TWO of the following:
– Kelly needs ONE more votes per million votes cast than Emmitt, AND/OR;
– Kelly needs 10,700 more votes per million votes cast than Apolo, AND/OR;
– Kelly needs 12,500 more votes per million votes cast than Melissa, AND/OR;
– Kelly needs 17,800 more votes per million votes cast than Shawn.
I honestly don’t really see Kelly beating any of those people, but I could be way wrong. It’s really hard to say. Melissa is the big question mark here. If Kelly doesn’t beat her, Melissa still needs either Apolo or Emmitt to not beat her. That seems like a lot of votes for Emmitt to get also, but I just don’t know. Anyway…
As for Apolo, he needs two of the following things to happen in order to make it to the finale:
– He needs for Kelly and Emmitt to not get the 10,700 more votes per million votes cast that they need, AND/OR;
– Apolo needs to get 1,800 more votes per million votes than Melissa, AND/OR;
– Apolo needs to get 7,110 more votes per million votes cast than Shawn.
I originally thought Apolo was going to win this thing and now I have some doubts about that. I honestly don’t have a good read on what’s going on here, other than thinking that Shawn is pretty safe. I tend to think that Kelly doesn’t get the votes to get past him and if Emmitt DOES get the votes I’m afraid that Apolo easily gets the votes to get past Melissa. As you can see, everything kinda comes back to Melissa for me.
Speaking of Melissa, what has to happen for Melissa to be safe?? She needs TWO of the following things to happen:
– She needs for Kelly AND Emmitt to NOT get the 12,500 more votes per million votes cast, AND/OR;
– She needs for Apolo to NOT get the 1,800 more votes per million votes cast, AND/OR;
– Melissa needs to get 5,330 more votes per million votes cast than Shawn.
No, I have no clue. I don’t think Kelly gets those votes, but after that? I’m inclined to think Emmitt ain’t clearing it, but I won’t be surprised if I’m wrong.
That leaves us with Shawn. As the high scorer, she needs at least two of the following to NOT happen in order to advance to the next week:
– Kelly and Emmitt don’t get the 17,800 more votes per million votes cast, and/or;
– Apolo doesn’t get the 7,110 more votes per million votes cast, and/or;
– Melissa doesn’t get the 5,330 more votes per million votes cast.
Shawn is the only person I feel relatively confident in saying she’s safe. But not 100% – just relatively confident. I just don’t think that Kelly, Emmitt or Melissa are getting those votes over Shawn – not sure about Apolo.
So where does that leave us?? Well, keeping in mind that Shawn is the ONLY one I’m SORTA confident about, I’m going to guess that Kelly is a goner no matter what. And then it gets hard.
I think that it could be either Melissa, Emmitt or Apolo. Based entirely on my gut feeling that Emmitt is fading into the woodwork, I’m going to guess that he doesn’t make the cut, leaving us with MY desirable final three of Shawn, Apolo and Melissa. 🙂 Cuz it’s all about ME. 😉
So, Kelly out first and Emmitt out second with an outside chance of a tragedy of Melissa as a shocking elimination, taking Emmitt’s place. While I’m going to call Apolo and Shawn safe, I would NOT be surprised if Apolo gets hosed. I would be shocked if Shawn does. But I think those two have the best chances of making it, sans any other reliable information.
I could be wrong. I’m just glad that I only have to do this one more time this season. 🙂
I think Shawn is safe, I feel like a lot of people would like to see Derek go out on top so are voting for them. I also think Kelly is done like dinner. As to the other 3, I WANT Apolo and Melissa to make it but I think it could be anyone. Tempted to write all 3 names on paper and toss a dart at it to make my pick for who else leaves – I’m that unsure.
Thanks Miss. Excellent. I love these as always. I’m with you. I think it’s going to be Kelly & Val going home! I hate to even think it because I love them so much…but, I think it could be Tony and Melissa who is going home too if it’s fan base deciding it. But, I’d rather see it be Emmitt and Cheryl who leave.
I’m not sure about this one too, I do think Shawn is save and Emmit is gonne, but the other three I have no idea.
I’m wanting to see Shawn and Melissa and Apollo in the finals. I think though that Apollo may end up getting hosed by Kelly or Emmitt. I hope not because I think Apollo was a much better dancer than either Kelly or Emmitt.
Guess we will see you tonight! I sure hope it’s not Shawn who gets screwed but it could go that way too we just don’t know
So, I’m also hoping for a Shawn, Apolo and Melissa finals, and I also don’t know who will be going home. I’m pretty sure Shawn’s through – I would be in disbelief if she left, because she does seem like the only lock (as long as people voted as if they don’t believe that). I’m really hoping that Apolo is pulling the votes as well. I *think* his fan base should be as good as Shawn’s, and hopefully people saw him in jeopardy and voted (and yes, I know being in jeopardy doesn’t mean anything, unless PH’s research into her theory found something, but apparently that simple concept doesn’t get across to the general public). Melissa – argh! I wish I knew she was going to make it. I really have no clue how DialIdol works, other than bigger numbers mean more votes, and I realize that it probably means nothing in the big picture, but Melissa did have the lead by a *major* margin on that site, so I’m a little more hopeful that she will make it than if it showed her in the middle. Emmitt doesn’t seem to be getting any buzz anywhere, so logic says he should be leaving, and Kelly – I don’t *think* she can pull past the others – there aren’t enough crazies out there who think the showmance is real to put her through, are there? I hope not. In the end, I’m cautiously optimistic and at the same time biting my nails – and I can’t wait for tonight so I’ll *know* who made it.
Thanks, PH. I’ve been waiting for this post. For some reason, just seeing the numbers and reading your analysis settles my nerves.
I’ve been depending on you and the loyal PDH-ers to take care of Shawn so I could throw all my support behind Apolo. Now I just hope others have been taking care of business for Melissa.
Is it showtime yet?
The only thing I am going to say about Val, is he is DEFINITELY his brother’s brother.
Thank you Heidi, great as always!!!
I think Shawn and Emmit will make the finals, not sure about the third, I want it to be Apolo, but Melissa may be able to take it, and honestly she deserves to be in the finals.
Emmitt could be the spoiler. I’ve learned over the seasons to be wary of football players. But I still think that in the end, Shawn and Derek have it in the bag and have since Day One.
Anon, since I am thinking that you’re a fairly new poster here on the site, I’ll tell you that Dial Idol IS NOT something that is mentioned here. There have been posts about WHY we don’t go and see what they say, and I don’t have the time right now to go through and point them out, but they’re there! Think of it as one of those naughty words that kids are (hopefully) taught never to say….. Along with that board at a place that has a lot of alphabet letters… 🙂 Punishment is no glitter from the glitter fairy. 🙂
Thanks Lori! Didn’t know, and won’t do it again – I promise! 🙂
Great post, PH, one of my PDWTS specialty faves always.
Although I *think* it will be Shawn, Apolo, and Melissa, the only lock is Shawn. Emmitt can definitely play spoiler with his personality and fanbase, even if he has been a bit off the past week or two. As I’ve said elsewhere, I think Kelly is the most likely gone but I do fear the power of the showmance might knock out a better dancer (Melissa most likely, Apolo possibly). I may just spoil myself before watching, which I NEVER do, because I don’t want to sit through that tension all worried.
I’m inclined to think Shawn is safe, but I still gave her all of my votes by phone, text, and online with 3 emails.
I’m hoping Melissa makes it too because she deserves it as a dancer and as the only non winner. It makes for a great story to have her in the finals competing with winners as the underdog.
I’d be OK with Kelly making it, but Emmitt is the one person I don’t want in there. Nothing he’s done all seaosn warrants a trip to the finals and if he beats someone (likely Melissa) I really hope TPTB lay off the football players for a long time, because it just proves that they always stay longer than they should and yes, I’m still pretty bitter than Katherine lost to Donald. He was pretty good, but not champion good.
I;m bummed that I can’t watch the show live tonight. I think that the final 3 should be :Shawn, Apolo, and Melissa. I’ve seen enough of Val to last a lifetime.
This is why I find DialIdol hilariously insignificant:
http://stars.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/GeoPredictions.asp
See that map? The states in light grey are the ones where someone actually used DialIdol to call in their votes. For the states in dark grey, nobody used DialIdol to call in their votes. Only a few people in 2 out of 50 states actually used DialIdol last night – Ohio & Rhode Island. If you mouse over those states, you’ll see the breakdown of how the votes were used. So in Ohio, using DialIdol, Melissa got 24 votes, Apolo got 25, Emmitt & Cheryl got 25, Kelly & Val got 25, and Shawn & Derek got 24. Then in Rhode Island, Melissa got 6 votes. So for the ENTIRE NATION – DialIdol has only 129 votes to use as data. ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY-NINE. I voted more than that this week by myself. And we’re basing it on a handful of people from TWO STATES??? That’s why I have to laugh at those who preach it like the gospel – they’re hanging their hat on an almost infinitessimal number of votes in a few states.
Thanks everyone for the nice words. 🙂
Please, please, please let Apolo make it! Emmitt should have been gone last week.
And because the concentration of DialIdol voters are in two states, I would not be AT All surprised to learn that it was a couple people who are fans of particular people who joined JUST to “influence” Dial Idol.
My wish Final is also Shawn, Melissa and Apolo, but I am worried about Apolo. My fear is he is gone and replaced with Kelly. I really don’t want another week with her. I am surprised how much Derek was supporting Kelly last night. She always seemed the outside girl in all the clips.
I’m hoping for an all girls final. Shawn, Melissa, and Kelly. I’d like to see them finish in that order as well. Melissa bumped out Apolo in my list of favorites this week. Not sure if it’s her sheer positivity or what. I’m so curious to see if Emmitt has the fans this year. He hasn’t ever been in the bottom. This is his first test of the season.
I’ll be the odd person out and predict Emmitt and Melissa leave tonight.
Derek is a class act. He’s also always nice to Val and Maks, though god knows why at this point.
Technically, NO ONE of the remaining five has been “in the bottom” Iliana – not as far as we know.
I HOPE EMMITT IS GONE. That’s #1 for me tonight!
I have a bad feeling Kelly might beat Melissa or Apolo…I don’t dislike her, but Melissa and Apolo are better…hopin Apolo makes it and wins it
Always like this post.
Hope Shawn, Melissa and Apolo get to the finals. =]
Kelly did faaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from what I expected – and did a good job.
I like Emmitt but it’s his time to leave.
Derek semed to genuinely love that rumba performance of Val and Kelly’s last night. He was telling them it was perfect. He, along with all of the other dancers and stars, including Karina, basically were rushing to comfort and encourage after they got their scores. I thought it was a really powerful moment. I certainly wasn’t expecting it after I read about how hated Kelly is all the time. Other than some of the dances, it was my favorite moment of the night.
I noted that Mark Ballas also tweeted how great he thought that dance was. Only other dancer he commented on was his buddy Derek.
Well, I’m hoping that Melissa can pull through. I want a final of Melissa, Apolo, and Shawn like pretty much everyone else.
I also have ulterior motives for wanting Val and Kelly out. I’m hoping that if both “C” brothers are out, some of their hardcore fans who really listen to them will vote for Melissa if she’s in the final. I know it might not make much difference, but hey, I’m clinging to any hope I can of her placing higher than 3rd (IF she gets past the double elim tonight).
That’s a good point. I should say that he’s the only one that the show hasn’t put “in jeopardy.”
Don’t underestimate Apolo’s fan base. It doesn’t hurt that he’s also very ripped and oozes sex appeal. He’s never been in the bottom 2 and i think he’ll pull it off and win again!!!
I think that Kelly and Val’s rumba was good. It was just unfortunate that it was on the same night as one of the best rumbas ever on the show, and had to be scored accordingly I think.
I feel an upsetting elimination is upon us, so I just want to remind everyone… BRISTOL PALIN IS NOT HERE!!! No matter how bad the final three may be, it will not be worse than season 11. Stay positive.
I’m betting it will be Melissa and Kelly who go tonight. I’d be happy to switch either one of them out with Emmitt, but I don’t see it happening. Realistically speaking, a football player has more fans than a Bachelor loser and a General Hospital star. I *think* Kelly has more fans than Melissa, but I’m not sure if it is enough to close the gap. I wouldn’t be too surprised if Melissa places 5th and Kelly places 4th.
On a slightly different note, has anyone heard any stories of Melissa being nasty? Nobody is that positive ALL THE TIME. (Lol) 😀 Dallas cowboy cheerleaders aren’t exactly known for being down to earth. I’m joking for most of this paragraph, but seriously, she’s suspiciously perky. I guess that’s just her personality.
Derek tells everyone they do great – that doesn’t actually mean they are the “best” and deserve to stick around over someone else. He loves Melissa and Apolo as well – and probably Emmitt too, knowing him. And, for the record, I follow Derek pretty closely and I didn’t hear him say a word. I think you’re reading in what you want to hear.
Not exactly – Shawn hasn’t been put in jeopardy and I don’t remember Melissa being there either.
:::sigh::: Again, we don’t know if Apolo’s been in the bottom or not. We just don’t know. You can’t go around making those claims. Well, you can – but you’d be wrong to do so.
Did anyone else notice that Derek used the pants he got on Ellen this year. Shawn finally got to say “where’s Derek?”
Chill out, Lindsey and don’t “remind” people.
Derek is always a class act and that’s just one(of many) reasons that I love him.
Thanks PH and Courtney and Vouge and all the others who do such a great job with this site! I love it!
Oh THAT’S where those pants came from!! Good catch, Heather.
Humm, I honesty have no idea who’s going. Kelly seems like the obvious choice, but who knows. I wouldn’t mind her in the finals anyway (mostly because I’m curious about what Val would choreography for their freestyle). Then there’s Melissa. She’s got the underdog appeal for sure but that’s probably not enough. My spidy sense is tingling and says she’s not making it (unless Emmitt actually goes!). Speaking of Emmitt, please please please do not make it to the finals! Shawn is not as invicible as you all like to think so I wouldn’t be suprised if she left (I doubt she will though). And hopefullly Apolo can make it to the finals (I know I gave him all my votes on 7 different accounts)
okay? You can delete the comment. I didn’t know I was freaking out.
You’re right, Heidi, I can’t lip read,nor did I say that he didn’t love the other dancers, but I did clearly see him holding up TWO perfect hand signs up in the kiss and cry area and say something, I’m assuming it was something very positive and it looked like it may have been “perfect”. He then went over and gave Kelly a big hug. Of that I’m sure. And I know that it was one of my favorite moments.
Now what would REALLY be suspenseful is if TPTB put Shawn in jeopardy just for the sheer shock of it, knowing that she’s nowhere near the REAL bottom two.
I don’t think she’s a LOCK but out of the remaining couples, she’s the best bet to say she’s a shoo-in for Finals.
I thought Kelly and Val’s rumba was beautiful. Just not as beautiful and emotional as Apolo and Karina’s, for me anyway.
All in all, as a dancer, Kelly has improved greatly from her first season that I looked up and watched, IMO. But this isn’t the MBT for most improved, it’s for the best dancer and all the other factors we know that go into this show; personality, showmanship, likability etc. If Kelly and Val go home tonight I think it’ll be due to the fake romance (don’t ever play your audience for dumb because you’re the one that ends up looking like an idiot) and the attitude that eventually came over both of them. But I think making it to the semis is pretty damn impressive in an all-star season and you’d think they’d drop the attitude. Val made it to the semis in his third season and Tristan hasn’t come close but Tristan doesn’t have an entitlement issue. I can’t wait to see Tristan back next season.
I still want Shawn/Apolo/Melissa but I think an upset may leave us with Shawn/Emmitt/Melissa.
Thanks for the numbers post!!
Like I said in Court’s power ranking thread, I figure it’ll be Kelly and Melissa going home tonight, and that’s a shame. 🙁 Melissa is a better dancer than Emmitt, but we all know it isn’t necessarily the best dancers that advance… 🙁 I hope I’m wrong, but I look for a finale of all athletes.
@Lindsey – According to Deep Throat, Melissa & Tony are just very laid back and tend not to get very wound up by what’s going on around them – their rehearsals are very drama-free and they just focus on the task at hand and don’t worry about anything else. I don’t know that it’s so much that Melissa is POSITIVE all the time, as it is that she is just very calm & doesn’t see the point in getting very upset about anything. I think the fact that she & Tony are both married with children really puts things in perspective for both of them – when you’re in your 30’s and have kids and spouses at home and adult responsibilities to attend to, petty drama just kind of takes a backseat.
What in the hell is a “perfect hand signs”? A thumbs up?? Well, lord knows Derek never gives anyone one of those. Yes…I am being sarcastic. 🙂
I love these posts and the power ranking posts.
I am with everyone else who would like to see a Shawn/Apolo/Melissa finals. But I am thinking Emmitt beats the spread and Melissa doesn’t. I think Kelly is a goner. (hopefully)
@Courtney – Good point. I never thought of in that light. I suppose her gratitude and kindness have come off as positivity to me. Thanks for the reply. 😀
Courtney, I think that might be part of why Melissa has really won me over these past few weeks. Other than the injury dramas, the two of them are just low key, hard working and happy to be there. That, and her legs are so gorgeous and make beautiful lines. I think she’s also gotten some great music choices and dances these past few weeks as well. Early on in the season, for some reason, I felt with her that every dance had a “jive” and boppy feel to it. She’s seemed to show more depth later in the season with dances like the paso and A. tango. I know it’s not likely, but I’d love an all female star final.
Heidi, what’s to be sarcastic about? Am I saying something out of line by saying that I liked that Derek seemed to be supporting Kelly and Val and that he gave them a perfect sign and that it was a moving moment for ME? I’m not making any declarations, only commenting on something I enjoyed.
A perfect hand signal is the “A-okay” hand signal. He did it with both hands and said encouraging words. Hugged Kelly. End of story. I liked it.
Forget it. I understand that this isn’t a democracy here and you guys should get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. I know it’s thankless work. I’ll just enjoy the spoilers and tidbits and keep my mouth shut. I get that my opinions don’t fit with yours. It’s not worth getting into it when there’s so little time left anyway (DWTS time, not Dec 21 end of the world time…hee). Maybe I’ll join in again next year if we agree on dance pairs.
Are they gonna do Dance Center tonight or is that out this season?
Lindsey – they will do in the finale i guess, I read on twitter. Tonight show is really packed, paula dance, derek contemporary, the wanted, AT spotlight dance plus the encore and a double elimination.
I’m sarcastic because I AM sarcastic. All the time. Get used to it. And an “A-okay” hand signal means just that – A-okay. For most people it doesn’t mean “perfect”. I am also a nitpicker about word choice – you saying “perfect” is a big inference into what most people would not read as perfect. They would read it as “Okay” or “good job” – and that’s Derek. Class Act.
Lordy, the drama and the martydom. That’s one of the drawbacks of posting here – if we disagree with you, we’ll say so. You have to be able to handle dissenting opinions TOO.
I HOPE EMMITT MAKES IT TO THE FINALS! One, I like him. Two, I like his dancing (don’t look at me like that!). And three, I enjoy a wee bit of controversy and the pearl-clutching over him would be most delicious.
*insert cartoon villain laugh*
But to be semi-serious, Shawn is the only near-guarantee to make it into the finals, and Kelly seems to be the only one nearly guaranteed to go home. The strip show may have turned off some people. Emmitt, Apolo, and Melissa are up in the air. For all the talk of Emmitt getting inflated scores, I think Melissa has gotten them, too, in attempts to keep her on the show. Makes me think her fansbase is the weakest of the five, which is a surprise to no one I’d figure.
Either way, it’s all in good fun. No one dies over a tacky glitter ball trophy. Even us fans who take it a wee bit too serious sometimes. I include myself in that assessment.
LOL never heard of a “perfect hand sign.” I always thought that meant “okay” or “good job.”
It could mean different things, depending on region and culture.
Um actually Team Vally will be safe tonight. The majority of Maks/kiersty fans voted for vally plus their own fanbase plus general hospital watchers. Everyone saw last night that the judges were being ignorant and purposly gave kelly 9.5’s since she wanted a 10 so badly and her last dance definatly desereved 10’s. All of the pro’s stood up and hugged her because they though it was Bull also.
Kelly and Val will be one of the first safe and Im betting emmit and apolo go home. Final 3 = 3 girls, Kelly, Shawn and Melissa.
Fingers & toes crossed that Shawn & Derek make it to the finals, not only because its possibly Derek’s last season but because they have been amazing all season long. Shawn is an incredible performer and Derek has really outdone himself with the choreography. Hope he wins an Emmy too!
I’m hoping for a Shawn/Melissa/Apolo Finals. I have to admit this is a great group of semi-finalists. Its been a fantastic season.
Thanks to all of you here at Puredwts. You keep all of us up to date and ignite the excitement for the show too.
When you ASSUME things, Johnny, it makes an ASS out of U and…well, really just you 🙂
Capitalization & punctuation are your friends, by the way.
So, I accidentally and inadvertently started the DialIdol discussion, and I don’t mean to re-start it, but I think it is *so* hilarious that all they have is 129 votes to work with. No wonder DI never made sense to me – but I thought that their numbers ought to mean *something*, but apparently they don’t. Thanks Courtney for the enlightenment!! And if this goes to moderation, no need to post it if you just want to keep DI buried as a topic. 🙂
Courtney, you are so right. That statement is why no one should assume anything.
I’d like to see the 3 ladies in the finals. If not, Kelly, Melissa and Apolo. Will be an interesting night tonight.
I really think it should be four in the finale,Apollo,Kelly,Melissa and Shawn,just sayin!
The finals I’d like to see next week in preferential order:
1. Melissa/Kelly/Apolo
2. The three ladies!!
3. Melissa/Apolo/Shawn
I think #3 is most likely to happen. But it would be fun to see an all-girl finals. Being that I think Kelly/Val will be eliminated tonight (and I hope Emmitt/Cheryl are eliminated first), I’ve changed my mind to support Melissa/Tony. I would love to see a non-champ be a champ this season and she’s a terrific dancer. She’s peaking at the right time and when she cried after her AT, I cried too.
I’m so nervous for tonight!
Four in the final? 🙄 In that case, let’s just throw them all in there and do the semi-finals all over again. It’s a competition, you gotta cut people. I’ll be one pissed-off puppy if Shawn, Apolo or Melissa go home, but that’s the way competition works.
I think its time for Shawn and Derek to take a hike. I am so tired of him kissing up to the judges (just like his buddy Mark Ballas. They both think that they are the best dancers on the show. I have been watching DWTS from day one and the TWO BEST DANCERS ARE EDYTA AND MAKS. Its a shame that Maks doesn’t get a good partner. He and Tony D. deserve to win. So I’m rooting for Melissa and Tony to win the “Mirror Ball”.
That’s hilarious Louise! Derek kissing up to the judges, I mean! I don’t think we’ve been watching the same show. Ask Len! 🙂
LOL – you’re hilarious, Louise. Especially that part about wanting Maks to get a good partner. LOL
Did anyone else notice that Melissa’s daughter had two different outfits during the show last night and was coordinted with her mother? I’ve nothing against Melissa but dressing your child to match your DWTS costumes is at best odd and at worst Toddlers and Tiaras.
I just wondered if I was the only one who noticed that.
We heard you the first time, Jeffrey.
Oh give her a break – she’s a first time mommy. That’s what they do sometimes.
If they start the show with the lowest tie scorers of Kelly and Emmitt, and eliminate Kelly, with Emmitt safe.. then I don’t know if I can watch the rest of the show.
Louise,
You’re so right. It is a shame that Maks can’t get a good partner in the 14 seasons who had the tools from which he could train them; Willa Ford, Laila Ali, Mel B, Mist May-Treanor, Erin Andrews, Brandy…. Just because Derek and Mark have the common sense , good manners and decency to know not to up-chuck every negative thought they have every time they have it, doesn’t make them ass-kissers, IMO. It makes them like most of civilized society.
Mommy & me outfits are actually kind of adorable, when girls are that young 🙂
And in Melissa’s defense, that really isn’t bad – Mama Spence dressed my sis & I like twins until I was almost 10. And I’m 3 years older than my sister 😛
Ughhh anyone read maks tv guide article?! He is so annoying…
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so depressed…no Apolo in the finals! WTF America!
Unrelated, but hilarious:
Sunday I was watching the AMAs with my mom and during Kesha’s performance (watch it if you haven’t seen it!) she goes, “I feel like Derek and Shawn and Mark are gonna come out dancing during this!”
I laughed so hard 🙂
Anyways, I hope Kelly is safe, but I don’t think she will be :'(
*Sigh*… ):
Feeling sick now. I just don’t get it…
I guess I will check back later for the latest spoiler. Once Apolo was eliminated my television was immediately turned off.
Thanks to all the mods for all your diligent hard work this All-Star Season, couldn’t of done it without you.
Oh, Congratulations to Shawn and Melissa… May the best girl win. I think we all know Shawn is going to win.
KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew it! They would have had the guys go head-to-head, or the ladies, so it had to be the guys leaving, with both ladies staying.
A-hole Val. I can’t stand him. NO thanks!
Go Kelly!!!
Glad my cable went out so I didn’t have to see that. Gross.
Worst. Case. Scenerio. For me. YMMV
Well at least that pretty much guarantees a win for Shawn with an outside chance of Melissa. Now I don’t have to feel torn between Apolo and Shawn, haha.
Unfortunately, my feeling didn’t betray me ..!?
WORST ELIMINATION EVER!!!!
The packages didn’t show Apolos fun side, which was negative from the very beginning!!
The majority of people didn’t watch his interviews and had a different picture of him and his chemistry with Karina.
Then the constant underscoring … they WANTED him out.
HOW THE SHOW PORTRAYS YOU IS RELEVANT, NOT THE PICTURE PEOPLE GET THROUGH THE STUFF BESIDES THE SHOW, LIKE INTERVIEWS ETC. …
At least they left on a high note – something to be really proud of!!
And the fact that Kelly could be in the finals – LOL – was my second fear!!!!
I was concerned that she and Val will have a lot of support from Maks fans, Peta fans, Kirstie fans and that the combination of all these fan bases will be very strong. That’s exactly what happened, damn!!!
And Val kind of felt that – after Maks’ elimination he seemed to be too relaxed for my taste.
But about one point I’m sure: They will not win!!!!
lol I can’t help but hear Comic Book Guy: Worst. Elimination. Ever.
3-2-1…..right on time! The bashing of Karina (its all her fault, she can’t choreograph, she has no personality, she’s not hot & blonde, she didn’t let APolo shine, etc)…has started. Oh…dancing gods, if only the great Julianne would have been his partner, he would have won and dominated the show.
huge sigh………….. ::bangs head on table::
And Karina said she reads tweets and face book…hope she skips them.
Anyway, as usual pure ladies, thanks for another great season! Good Luck to Derek! I’ll be voting for him now.
I can’t understand Kelly getting all these so called “fan votes”. Soaps are being cancelled because “no one is watching them”. Therefore where are all these numbers coming from to keep her in? Not everyone who watches Soaps watch DWTS, not everyone watching votes and not everyone voting votes numerous different ways..(phone, cell, online)..so how do you account for the numbers needed to keep her in? You know the uproar there was the first season she was on by the public over how she won since she was on the bottom most of the time.
Wonder if Kelly will win this season again..beating out those who are better dancers. Maybe this time they will shut down DWTS because of it.
Sure wish they would publish the votes…who knows how many votes those sent home really received vs those that stayed.
Can you say Rigged..it will come out one of these days.
Rainbowsmom – that is really not that many votes. If Apolo just isn’t pulling in the votes, then how hard is it?? We’ve seen MUCH larger margins over come by celebs. More than once. 20 very determined fans could do it. That says NOTHING about how she’s doing against two FAR better dancers.
