"Dance is the hidden language of the soul" ~ Martha Graham. That's what DWTS makes me think of every Monday night. To read more about me and my other interests, see Lisa Kay Photography. You can also follow me at Voguerista Twitter & Voguerista Soundcloud.
My favorite is Diana (only because she is my age and I wished I looked that good); next fav is Sharna and Charlie (man I wish I could wear those gold pants); my husband’s is Winnie; just because.
Wow, how gorgeous Karina is! Loving all of them, too!
My personal favorites are:
Candace & Mark: They look good together, I’ll give them that. I’m not really liking Mark’s hair but whatever, they look cute.
Charlie & Sharna: Mainly because of Sharna, but, can you blame me? 😉
Meryl & Maks: I’m still saying, I actually like these two together than most people. Meryl looks amazing and beautiful and Maks looks .. like Maks 😛
James & Peta: They both look HOT!
Diana & Henry: She looks so good for her age and they look so happy and cute…. Love em!
Sean & Karina: I gotta say, some may think his expressionless face is off-putting… I think they look really hot together. Karina is working it as usual, and he is kinda giving off this “sexy” vibe… idk I just really like it for some reason.
Least Favorite:
NeNe & Tony: She looks good but he looks just… weird. Not a big fan of the pose they chose either.
Danica & Val: I only don’t like it because of what she’s wearing. Don’t get me wrong, she looks AMAZING, but I wish they would given her a dress or something… Think it would have been a lot better.
Cody & Witney: Looks like such an awkward Prom photo. Oh gosh…
The rest of the photos I’m “meh” about. Don’t like or dislike them..
Does anyone think Amy & Derek will get their proper photo taken once they’re in LA or do you think they probably won’t have much time do so? They look adorable but I would have loved to see them in their glittery outfits! Guess we’ll have to wait until Monday (can’t some soon enough!!!)
There are some awesome shots in there.
Mark and Candace look awesome. 9/10
Charlie and Sharna: Best shot out of the guys. 10/10
Meryl and Maks are just a good looking pairing but this pic is very odd. Maybe If Maks was smiling it would have been better. 7/10
Nene and Tony look like a good pairing and she shows her personality but it’s a bland shot. 6/10
Danica and Val look awesome. Val being serious worked in this one. 9/10.
Drew and Cheryl: Loved it. 10/10
Amy and Derek: A+. Love that pic. 10/10.
Cody and Witney have the same pose as my prom pic. Yeah….not cool lol. 6/10
Billy Dee and Emma seem to have chemistry to spare. 8/10
James and Peta have a nice pic. Bland but nice. 6/10
Diana and Henry look good. I actually went back to the pic of Maks and Meryl and think that when the switich happens these two couples will get each other’s partner. 10/10
Sean and Karina are an awkward pairing. Karina looks hot but Sean looks like he belongs on “Criminal Minds” in this pic. 5/10.
I think my favorites are Charlie and Sharna, Candace and Mark (despite Mark’s hair), Henry and Diana, Billy Dee and Emma, and (even though it’s not a glamor shot) Amy and Derek. Drew and Cheryl look like they’re having tons of fun.
NeNe and Tony’s photo is the worst – they just feel “off”. I also think that Sean and Karina, Meryl and Maks, and Danica and Val are giving off awkward or “mismatched” vibes. Both Val and Maks are looking very intense, while Meryl and Danica (especially Meryl) are looking happy and just giving off a very different energy from their partners. It’s especially noticeable in Meryl and Maks’s photo. And then Karina is looking smoldering, while Sean looks kind of stone-faced.
James and Peta and Cody and Witney just look ‘meh’.
It will be interesting to see everyone dance…
Yay! Title Shoot Photos *squeeeee*
My favorites are Sean/Karina (the intense look on *both of them* makes it work for me) and Drew/Cheryl (they look like they’re having such fun).
Love Emma’s and Karina’s dresses.
Diana has great legs and looks very attractive in that outfit.
Sharna and those pants are in a class by themselves. Charlie needs to lose the bow tie.
Mark’s hair is beyond foolish.
Can’t wait for Amy and Derek’s official title shoot photo.
Overall, a decent title shoot.
Love the playfulness of Cheryl and Drew! Looking forward to seeing more of them, just for the fun. Also, I love Meryl’s pose, so pretty. Great shoot – getting excited for the first show!
Yea pics..
Derek & Amy look so cute.
Mark & Candace look great, although I can’t decide if Mark’s hair looks like a poodle or a bird’s nest.(Sorry Mark) I guess it is better than no hair.
Sharna looks like they just painted her legs gold. (Yes I am jealous)
Drew & Cheryl look adorable, as do Henry & Diana.
I wish Maks & Val could smile. They look way too serious. Maks looks kinda scary,
Speaking of scary. Sean
Can’t wait for the dancing
Mark looks like a budding eraserhead. I wonder if that’s what he’s going for.
Mark looks like a budding eraserhead. I wonder if that’s what he’s going for.
Susan, I figured out what Mark’s going for — height. He desperately wants to appear taller. 😛
My favorite couple is Sharna and Charlie….nice picture.
Candace and Mark look great…..Mark needs a different hair style.
Cheryl and Drew look like they will have fun.
My husband said “He looks like the devil….meaning Maks.” Seriously why would they give this sweet girl Maks…when you have a sweet Gleb.
Nene and Tony look like a total mismatch.
One more week to see how this will work out.
Peta looks like a barbie doll in that pink dress.
Candice and Mark look great and Mark looks very handsome in the grey and black.
I love seeing Henry pictured with a partner although they wont last long. 🙁
Emma and Karina I think have the best dresses.
Sean has always reminded me of pitbull with the agressive, mean look on his face. Him and Karina look so mismatched in that pic.
Billy Dee and Emma, Drew and Cheryl and Sharna and Charlie all look adorable.
Val looks cute, kind I wish Danica was wearing a dress she looks skanky compared to all the other girls in there pics.
Maks does look scary in his pic, him and Meryl look mismatched.
I always love seeing all of the pictures! They still need to release the solo shots.
I am just thinking it will be potentially hard to vote this season. I expect some great dancing right at the beginning from most of the couples. How in the world am I to vote between Meryl and Charlie?
Come on next Monday night! We are ready to dance!!!!!
LOL Cidra #11 – I thought the same thing!
These photos are awesome: love Drew & Cheryl pic; Maks looks so intense- no surprise there, and Meryl really looks happy, and they do look good together; Diana looks great, hope she’s got rhythm and sticks around past the first few elms. Can’t wait for the first rehearsal vids, if they even release any since we’re a mere week away from the premier. YAY
Random thoughts:
1.) Eee gad, could the Chmerkovskiy boys look any less pleased to be there? The glare does NOT read well on camera.
2.) Ditto for Sean. For a guy that loves to Instagram pix of himself in his undies, he sure doesn’t seem very approachable.
3.) After seeing their picture together, I still can’t shake the feeling that James isn’t all that jazzed to be partnered with Peta – even if they are really dating. He acted rather awkward with her at the cast announcement, and the body language in that pic just bugs.
4.) Meryl & Maks seem woefully mismatched. She’s striking a playful pose and giving us a genuine smile; meanwhile, he looks like someone who might get profiled by the TSA as a “nefarious character”.
5.) Drew & Cheryl seem to be having the most fun, and it seems really genuine. Amy & Derek are a close second.
6.) Looks like only four (maybe 5) reused costumes. Rats. Guess I’ll do the shortest edition ever of WWIB…
Linde, 😀 There have to be rehearsal vids! Surely DWTS will want to post some teasers on their facebook page. And I second your hope that Diana has some rhythm and musicality. She and Henry seem to have such a happy vibe. I’m still worried they’ll be the first elim. However, I’ve got my fingers crossed that NeNe and Tony could go instead. It looks like 99% of the comments about NeNe on the DWTS facebook page are seriously negative. Hardly a scientific sample, of course, but it gives me some hope.
Candace has great legs! Mark’s poofy birds nest of hair on top is actually where he keeps his spare spats.
Love Maks and Meryl’s picture. She looks incredible.
NeNe and Tony might just be one of the most physically mismatched couples ever on the show.
Not of fan of Danica’s costume. Shiny leather short shorts just don’t scream “ballroom!” to me.
Drew and Cheryl look so fun. He’s lost so much weight.
Diana and Henry look good together.
Sean Avery looks like he’s the head bouncer for Club McDouche. Get away from Karina!
When Peta doesn’t look so skanky, she’s actually really beautiful.
Emma! Looking good girl!
I agree Cidra – NeNe seems likely to be the first elimination. I don’t Facebook, but nothing i’ve read about her gives me any kind of warm and fuzzy. And Tony has needed a break in the worst way for the longest time. IDK, you hate to kick someone to the curb before they’ve even danced, but out of the entire line up it’s NeNe who I would want to go first (watch her really dance and WOW the socks off of us LOL).
And while I’m kicking ….not far behind, IMO: Cody & Witney. For some reason, I don’t expect much from these 2 – his very young age + her relative inexperience = early bye bye. Yes, Aaron Carter did make it to fifth place, but he was in Karina’s capable hands. Of course, I’m from a completely different generation – I had to google him when his name first came up on this site – so what do I know, right 🙂
I’m ready to eat every one of these words come Monday night …. my predictions are rarely right.
1) Maks and Meryl looks seriously like Beauty and the Beast… maybe it will be a fairytale for her… (I really hope so!)
2) I cannot help but feel like Henry and Diana have exactly the same smile… like seriously, it looks like the same mouths was put on both of their faces.
3) I think the colours just don´t go together very well. I mean in the pairs… they look stunning individualy but seeing them in one picture, it just doesn´t work for me (Sharna and Charlie for example)…
4)I wished Danica would be given a dress… and seriously, this lady just doesn´t look like 39 at all…little jealous – and I actually think Val looks kind of nice in this photo… not very “cheery” but kind and nice.
5)Sad to see that Amy and Derek don´t have official photo yet. Excited for that one… 🙂
6) Love Drew and Cheryl… she looks really good and I think they work together really well!
7) Cody´s ears really scared the hell out of me… 🙂
The photos look nice but I don´t love them like I did in the past two seasons.
I really appreciate how Drew has lost so much weight. I was watching the Price Is Right today and Layla Ali was on there in one of the showcases. I wonder if she gave him pointers.
Fangirling a bit here, but…
Billy Dee is utterly charming in that picture. He may not have the spiffiest outfit, but his megawatt smile more than compensates for it. He seems to be having so much fun, and Emma looks happy to be there, too. If his dance ability is anything remotely decent, I think that these two may go farther than we think.
And I am (almost) certain they had him in that pose to remind us of his turn as Lando Calrissian. This well-known picture seems to be a direct inspiration for the photoshoot:

I must be looking at a different set of pictures because I see lots of people in the comments loving a lot of pictures and I think almost all of them are rather awful and not doing the couples justice. Maybe it’s the outfits or the expressions but to me the couples in general look very mismatched and I don’t think that is really true.
Why is Danica wearing short shorts! Ugh, hope Val doesn’t go for the overly sexed image he did with Kelly. I like Val but it just felt raunchy and overly done. Danica has a great body but that doesn’t mean you have to “pimp” her, Val. Hate to compare but when Derek had Maria, his dances felt like a love story unfolding. Sexy, yes but not too much. Left us wanting more, wondering what they would do next. Did they are didn’t they kiss. LOL You just have to know how to play it right Val. The other pics are not too bad but not that great either. Seen better. I prefer to see the couple outfits coordinate and expressions matching. Was that really the best pose they could have gotten out of Billy. And is Sharna’s gold pants outfit suppose to coincide with Charlie winning a gold medal? Uhmm doesn’t work. Best pic, I think is Mark and Candace. Meryl looks good but Maks eyes scare me.
Thanks for the pics, Vogue! Since you have seen my tweets, you obviously know I love Sharna & Charlie’s pic. 😉
They’re extremely airbrushed, for one thing, Karen. Makes them look odder than usual.
Despite the purported talented in this cast, I’m actually not too keen on any of these pics. Are there some mighty ackward pairings this go round or is it me?
I’m still so meh about everything. The pictures aren’t even getting me excited. Not looking forward to Maks or Val winning this season.
Are there some mighty ackward pairings this go round or is it me?
Yes, there are some mighty awkward pairings and I even have to blame the “stars”. You can tell they are running out of people to cast on this thing.
A lot of the costumes don’t seem to match. Didn’t like Meryl’s dress at all. Someone had her posing shorter also. This is totally a photographer mistake and not the only one. Liked Mark and Candace and Henry and Diane the best.
My thoughts:
Candace and Mark – I like their pic, and the outfits actually go. But that hair…
Sharna and Charlie – They look very good together! And thse gold pants…
Meryl and Maks – I like contrast, and the two of them certainly contrast. It looks like Meryl is doing a chacha and Maks a paso. It’s a little off.
Nene and Tony – Just no. It looks weird but i can’t put my finger on it. Ugh.
Danica and Val – Val is giving devil eyes. I’m just imagining Danica in anything but that outfit – like Sharna’s pants – because I think she would have looked better.
Drew and Cheryl – That’s such a fun pic! I think Drew will be a lot like Jack was for Cheryl
Amy and Derek – They look nice together, and I can’t wait to see a real posed pic! It will take me some getting used to to see prosthetic legs, but I think she’ll do really well!
Cody and Witney – I’m a fan of them because I’m a Disney girl. But that smile on Cody looks very awkward. And their outfits don’t really go.
Billy and Emma – also a very fun pic. They just look so happy!
James and Peta – They both look good, but maybe not together in this picture.
Diana and Henry – as someone up there ^ said, they have the same smiles. They both just look genuinely happy.
Sean and Karina – This is a bit weird. I think they are trying for a sexy pic that didn’t work. At least their outfits match!
Sorry if this is long, but one more thing. DWTS posted all of the pics on Facebook with the caption “Like the image of the couples you’ll be rooting for this season!” Here are the numbers as of 9:43:
Candace and Mark: 14.5K
Amy and Derek: 11.5K
Meryl and Maks: 8.2K
Danica and Val: 7.5K
Drew and Cheryl: 6.4K
Charlie and Sharna: 4.5K
James and Peta: 4.4K
Nene and Tony: 3.6K
Cody and Witney: 3.1K
Billy and Emma: 2.5K
Sean and Karina: 2.1K
Diana and Henry: 1.3K
So those numbers are kind of interesting, while I’m sure they currently mean nothing.
Perhaps they purposely mismatched people with the switch in mind. Hard to say. Part of me wants to see Derek with Meryl. Another part of me doesn’t want him to leave Amy. Mainly because I know how rewarding he will find it.
Makes sense, Aviva, since Candace likely has the biggest actual fanbase of the cast and that fanbase probably matches the average person to be voting on facebook. It could mean something if she can compete with the ringers in terms of scores. But then, maybe not, since Amy probably has the smallest fanbase of the cast and she’s in second place. But Derek fans are very excited about her, so…
Wow, I had forgotten how much those 3 Chmerkovskyi brothers favored one another. You know, Val, Maks, Tony….
Extremely airbrushed for sure. But other than Cheryl’s, I don’t see a lot of recycled costumes this time around. And yes, I loved Cheryl & Drew’s…maybe the best.
And oh how I wonder what Derek has been up to. You just know he’s researching the limitations of prosthetic limbs and those amazing and extremely mobile wheelchairs that are now available for the physically challenged.
I saw another online survey not that long after gma on tvline, asking who ppl. would root for and Candace was leading that on with 25.75%, the next was Meryl with 14.69%, so ppl. still love her from full house and she has a lot of fans from the main watching demo. of dwts. It seems like so many people think it will come down between the two ice dancers but I would love to see someone like her come out of nowhere and win it.
