Private Members Area – DWTS Season 18 Week 3 Discussion
Tonight was week 3 of DWTS Season 18 What did you think of tonight’s show?
Was anyone surprised by tonight’s “elimination”? I was kind of happy for him. I felt like last week when he wasn’t eliminated he was a little disappointed. I don’t think he wanted to go through the strain any more. It’s too bad because I love his pro.
Also, is anyone else annoyed by all the high scoring? It reminds me of my previous post about the DWTS overscoring. The judges have basically left themselves no room to go with the scores. It makes the judges irrelevant.
Speaking of the judges, what did you think of the guest judge. Someone sent me a private reply saying they loved her and they felt like we needed a major shakeup at the judges table. I agree. I think that the judges have just run out of material. Some fresh judges would be interesting at least.
Robin Roberts is wonderful. Her comments were so refreshing and thoughtful. So going to miss Emma. Sharna is killing it with choreography. Charlie is wonderful to watch. Maks is so happy and seems to really be invested in Meryl. Meryl’s foxtrot was perfection. James and Peta tore up the dance floor. James has a natural flair that is so appealing.
When do we find out who switches with whom? I want to get my weekly DWTS angst going. I am a big time Derek fan. I am inspired by Amy. But for some reason I can not get hyped about the two of them together. I guess as the season progresses, I will get more excited about the two of them as partners. Everything Derek does is just breathtaking .
I am tired by all the high scores. I also seem to notice a pattern of scores in clumps. Was anyone else disappointed that Robin Roberts scores followed the other judge? I didn’t like that.
Mary,
I haven’t seen a clear roadmap of the switch. Maybe I missed it somewhere.
Lynne,
When you score so high so early, then you basically have to clump them all together. That’s why they should start their scores a lot lower. It shouldn’t be shameful for them to get a score of a 4 at the start of the show. They’re still learning to ballroom dance. I’m not sure why the producers can’t understand it and fix it.
I enjoyed watching Billy Dee dance but wish he would have bowed out last week. I would have preferred Sean and Karina staying another week. Personally, I didn’t think Maks & Meryl’s dance warranted 10’s and I wasn’t that crazy about Cody’s dance either but the judges seem to love it.
To me all of Cody’s dances look the same. While he and Witney make a very cute young blond couple, I don’t think they’re an effective collaboration. It will be interesting to see what happens when both of them are paired with other people.
Also, Meryl’s dancing is unquestionably beautiful, but I don’t like how Maks dances with her. She’s obviously light as a feather, and Maks seems to be whipping her around, and doesn’t give her time to finish her moves. I’m not impressed with his choreography at all. It’s going to be phenomenal to see her dance with Derek, assuming they’re paired.
Was anyone else grossed out by Tony being shirtless? Eek! I smell desperation.
I admire Billy Dee for the effort but I really wasn’t a fan of his personality. I will miss my favorite female pro, Little Miss Emma.
I hated the 10’s. Really 10’s already?
I really feel now more than ever that Charlie, Meryl, and Amy will make the finals. That Amy is a true hero!
What no inside talk about the switch-up. No Maks bashing and really gossiping here. Say it isn’t so…Oh no!!! Okay just felt the need to say it since the haters are so dumb they think we spend our time doing such an idiotic thing.
This could possibly be one of my favorite comments ever. Thanks for the good laugh Lynne.
