ETA: For those interested, you can read on Anna Trebunskaya’s thoughts on the dances last night at ABC.
Who will win? Wow, that’s a good question. Based on quality of dancing it should be Meryl. She is a gorgeous, coordinated ice dancer. Then, Amy has the most amazing story behind her. We’ve all watched with our breath held in and tears in our eyes, of sadness or joy. We wanted her to persevere and come out on top. And then there’s Candace, who is like a fresh summer breeze. She has been consistent, positive and charming.
Let’s be honest here, when has LVA ever been on Derek’s side
Donald is a gentleman. When Louis stated he is the professional dancer, Donald should have said “And I am the one with a mirrorball at home”. What saddens me is that Louis raves about Meryl helping Maks, when it should be the other way around. That’s why one is the pro and the other is the celebrity. But well, it is what it is. I love Meryl, so I don’t mind her winning, but I feel kind of underwhelmed with her season.
As a huge derek and Amy fan, I consider they really won. For both the experience will be something to treasure.
Louis has always had a case against Derek, no matter how often he denies it. Petty and jealous are his middle names. 🙂
I agree. At first, I thought it was cool seeing Louis again and then after I heard him going on about Maks and Meryl, I changed my mind. Donald, as always, is a class act.
I hope Donald Driver is right too! I’m so over the Showmance of Meryl and Maks being shoved down our throat. I POWER VOTED all night long with a 3 hr nap in between.
So LVA says he’s a professional and he looks at the dancing? Does he only look at the dancing since Maks has Meryl? He also now works for Dance WIth Me studios, correct?
I hope they let Michael Strahan do most of the talking tomorrow morning because last season Lara and the other guy were b-o-r-i-n-g. (I think the celebs and pros looked the most uninterested last season on GMA).
Every time I watch an interview with LVA, I find that I have to remind myself that I really did enjoy the work he did with Kelly O., so that I don’t get too irritated by him in the moment.
Thank you Lara Spencer and Donald Driver for piping up before the segment ended with LVA and Robin praising M&M and not mentioning Amy at all. I agree with Donald, I think it is going to be Amy.
I was wondering if Meryl and Maks were really getting the votes for a comfortable lead then why would you have to go out of your way to only have their picture up on the Facebook sight and not listing all finalists photos as they had in past seasons. If M&M are a sure thing, you wouldn’t have to go to such great lengths. Me thinks they didn’t count on Amy and all the votes, possibly more than Meryl if not neck and neck, that she would get.
Kelly, you must be exhausted. I power voted last night too but around 2:30 my eyes started to close. Got up around 9:00 this morning and finished voting. I managed to get about 260 votes in for Amy and Derek. I’m hoping, against the odds, that they win.
I don’t give a hoot what LVA thinks nor did I ever care for his performances. And if he works for Dance With Me studios, he opinion is tainted.
260 votes!! Wow.
And I was all proud of exhausting the 15 max total with my one phone number, email and fb account. Ha!
You guys are amazing. Hats off to you. 🙂
I always take what Louis says with a grain of salt when it comes to Derek and winning MBTs. He never thinks Derek should win….pretty sure it is envy…lol.
Louis, if you are a dancer, you would further appreciate what Amy danced and how she danced each week. No offense, Meryl came in as a dancer. She knew lifts, spins, arm placement, hold. These are things Donald and Amy did not know coming in. At the least, glad Donald was there to point out who should win. But some are so caught up in this showmance like Robin. Also they did the same dance for weeks. If Maks took a risk, any risk like a jazz routine for ?Meryl, I would love it. We know she has the biggest fan base and skill set. Why not give us something different. Heck Amy did aerials. Even james freestyle lacked focus, but it was different.
