Private Members Area – DWTS Season 18 Week 5 Discussion
Tonight was week 5 of DWTS Season 18 What did you think of tonight’s show?
I’m still getting complaint after complaint about Erin and most people wanting Brooke back. I want to reply to them all and say that I like Erin, but I usually refrain. Most hate the band which I think we’d all agree the other one was better, but I don’t think it influences me to not watch it all.
What do you think of the Disney branding? Did you like it or hate it? Ironically, my 10 year old son just saw his first episode of DWTS. He heard that it was Disney Week this week and so he wanted to watch it. I would have never guessed to hear that.
That’s so cool for how your son heard it was going to be Disney week. I hope he enjoyed the show!!
As for me, wow, what a night. I’m not really into Disney songs, so I wasn’t sure I’d dig it, but, I was blown away on the whole production.
As for Erin, I’m just not feeling her and I don’t think I ever will. One thing I loved last night is when she started to go on about Derek being a prince first and then he refocused the interview to Amy instead. What a class act.
I’ve just become a *MEMBER* so I am so excited to discuss tonights show w/ you all later. Of all the themes, switchup thus far – I am most excited for tonights show from all the spoilers I have read.
(Apologies, I know this doesn’t apply to week 5 but I just needed to get the excitement out somewhere!!)
🙂
Hey Jackie! I’m sure the Mods appreciate your support. FYI – Pure set up the members area last season (or was it the season before?) but in any case, it’s not used all that much. (or maybe more stuff’s going on here and I just miss it). Anyway, the main discussions still take place in the public forum so no one gets left out.
I became a member mainly to help our wonderful Mods defray some of the ever-increasing costs of maintaining the site and keeping it running smoothly. Not everyone who participates has the financial resources to help. So my membership is just my way of giving back to the whole Pure community and keeping it strong. I think other members might have been similarly motivated.
Thanks for your support Jackie. Glad to have you as a member. What has you most excited about tonight’s show? What do you see that’s special vs other weeks? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Awesome Jackie! Thanks so much for joining us!!! *can’t wait for tonight’s show too. I love party dance songs so I’m going to be in heaven.
Cidra – Hey! Good to see you over here. As always, you continue to be a wealth of information. Thank you for keeping me in the loop on all these details!! I look forward to seeing you both on the main board & here!
John – Thank you for the warm welcome! I’m ashamed to say I was ever intimidated about posting on this board. EVERYONE has been to welcoming! You truly have some amazing posters/members and mods! 🙂 Coincidentally, I’m pretty old fashioned when it comes to this show – meaning I’m not one that’s usually thrilled when it comes to a “theme” week. Sometimes, I feel like it takes away from what could have happened organically w/o forcing on a certain character, song and animation into it. HOWEVER, after seeing the spoilers for what we have to look forward to tonight – this is now the most I have looked forward to any week this season. I really enjoy (and for once know) all the songs – for the most part, I think they are fitting to all the couples and they will rock them to the best of their abilities. I think this is going to allow just about everyone to shine tonight! I’m anxious to see who goes home tonight though. Selfishly, I would like to see Nene. Anyone else and I just won’t be as happy, lol.
Voguerista- Hey!! Thank YOU! I love party dance songs too! Our feelings are mutual – I’m excited! I know you have a ton of followers on FB, but I was the “Jackie” who told you I appreciated posting the “All of Me” song a few days ago because I am OBSESSED! Hope you enjoy the show tonight – 6 hours to go!! 🙂
Cidra, you are so awesome!! Thanks for all you do for this site and being so welcoming to others too!!
Jackie…awesome. I didn’t know you were the Jackie at twitter! Thanks for letting me know. I love “All Of Me” too. Here’s to tonight! 😉
Jackie, you’re welcome. I want you to feel comfy here. I agree with you 100% that themes more often work against good dances and enjoyable performances rather than fostering them. So I really hope they’re done for the season after Latin night. I’m reserving judgment on Party Anthem week and hope it surprises me. I enjoyed Disney night and Latin night is usually decent because there’s a better chance of having music match the dance style (e.g., you’re *not* as likely to end up with some poor couple doing a Samba to “Sweet Home Alabama”).
Vogue, Thank you, but I don’t do much of anything. Just show up and throw around my lengthy opinions 😉 Kind of felt like I was coming off all “look at me, aren’t I a philanthropic saint” talking about why I became a member, but I didn’t want Jackie to wonder why I (and a lot of us) spend most of our time on the public side of the house.
Cidra – LOL @ a Samba to “Sweet Home Alabama” – that’s my EXACT issues w/ theme nights! I’m hoping I didn’t get my hopes up for nothing with tonights Party Rock Anthem. *Fingers Crossed*
P.S. Nonsense about that philanthropic saint talk! 🙂 I appreciate any guidance I can get – it’s very much appreciated once again!
Think about all the dancers that are left as well. They’re all either really good dancers or really entertaining (ie. Nene and Drew). We all agree that Nene is annoying, but she’s also incredibly entertaining in that car crash, can’t look away sort of way. Plus, you know Nene’s gotten down to some party anthem’s before. It should be a fun night.
