Dancing with the Stars Season 21, Week 10 – LIVE BLOG (Spoilers)
Two more Mondays to go. Will tonight be dreadful, or was last week the real low point of the series? Only time will tell. All I can hope for is some great dancing.
T-minus 30 minutes…
Nice little opening number. I guess.
Bindi’s package made me weepy. No surprise.
NOTE: DO NOT POST ONE LINER COMMENTS AND CONTINUALLY REFRESH THE PAGE!! It’s the finale – breaking the rules might get you temporarily banned. The traffic is too high for this.
Not a Salsa fan, so it’s no shock that that’s not my favorite dance of Bindi’s. I was momentarily confused, thinking she was doing samba, then I realized that’s later. Kinda hosed doing two similar dances in one night.
CAI telling her she’s too clean?? Oy veh. Talk about ridiculous.
Alek’s package will get him a bunch of votes…and his dance was just lovely!! I loved it.
Hmmmm….I would be scared of that perfect score, Alek fans. Seriously, *Alek* gets three points higher than Bindi?? Bindi Irwin??
Carlos should stop talking. For reals.
What was the point of the rope and the direct rip off on Derek and Amy’s freestyle ending?? That…sucked….
So, that crap dance is one point better than Bindi’s “too clean” salsa?? Seriously?? And the person with the highest cumulative points of the season is currently on the bottom of the leaderboard? Yeah, that’s not at all funky. :::rolls eyes:::
Not much tango in that tango and his (Nick) feet were a mess at the beginning. It just looked…funky and not in a good way. :::sigh:::
Sad commentary on my thoughts on the show…I was sure they would give him the same score as Bindi. Don’t worry, dude – they already have you marked down for beating Bindi in the dance off.
I don’t know if anyone has done the math, but if Nick beats Bindi and Carlos beats Alek in the dance offs, Carlos will be at the top of the leader board by point and Nick and Bindi will be tied for last place.
Great dance from Jenna and Val!
Oh god. Tamar is OFF the show!! Give it a rest. I feel for her, but damn. The producers on this show are drama junkies and they’ve infected Tom.
Think about it – Tamar has virtually dominated the show for two weeks now.
Got to hand it to Alek, he is having fun with it. Loved it. Is Carlos the better dancer? Sure. Was he more entertaining than Alek? Nope. I’m sure this score will surprise no one.
CAI throwing the pity vote. Erin trying REAL HARD not to give away what they’re doing tonight and almost blowing it.
Bindi and Derek going first?? Bindi should have won that one easily with the samba rolls. There was no contest. Nick again coming up short on content compared to Bindi.
Ah, the judges do something unexpected and give the points to the right person.
Mark and Derek scare me. Every time. That kicked serious ass.
Holy crap, two great dances from Alek tonight. I also have to say that Lindsay has been schooling both Witney and Sharna in terms of choreo. I’ve enjoyed Alek’s dances more than either Nick or Carlos, this week in particular.
Judges are CRAP.
That was a pretty good Charleston, on it’s own – but compared to the Charleston that we saw in the middle of Bindi’s dance last week, it wasn’t so much.
I’m sure they didn’t plan at all for Bindi and Carlos to be tied. Not at all. :::cough:::
Was that another Disco number from Nick and Sharna?? It was a good dance…but it seemed familiar.
There ain’t no time for an elim, is there? Tom did say that either Nick/Sharna or Bindi/Derek had the lowest combined total. Do we actually believe him, or was that him workin’ some BS??

This post is dedicated to Vogue’s wonderful dad, Rodney, who was also a DWTS and PureDWTS fan. Rest in peace, Rodney – you’ll be missed. xoxo
OMG! *criesssssss (all good)) (((((THANK YOU))))) You guys are the BEST!! My Dad would be so so honored. (((((THANK YOU)))))) I can feel him right with us. Let’s unite with heaven and dance with and in the stars tonight!!! YEAH! THANK YOU!!!! XOXOXOXOXO
Oh, what a lovely man! Now I see why Vogue is who she is. Peace be with Rodney and with our Vogue and their family. Thanks, PH and Vogue for sharing this with us.
I’m not watching the show live, but I look forward to reading everyone’s opinions on how it all goes down (and I will be voting for Bindi).
Ehhhh I just can’t bring myself to call last week “the low point of the series” because we had some AMAZING routines in there. But in terms of exploitation and drama I agree with you.
Rest in peace, Rodney.
Vogue, so good to hear from you again. Sending love and courage to you and your family. May he rest in peace 🙂
PH, that was a really sweet gesture – sorta reminding us all of the bigger picture in life, which goes beyond the show and all our individual thoughts and opinions about it 🙂
Aw, what a gentle fun-loving guy, your dad must have been, Vogue! Thanks for sharing with us!
Hugs to you Vogue!!! Xox
Rest In Peace, good sir!!
Rest In Peace to your dad Rodney, Vogue. I’m sure he’s dancing in heaven now. xox
Vogue, he looks so precious…
May God Bless you & your family. May your dad Rest In Peace(Hugs)
Love Ya 🙂
Welcome back vogue! We missed you! I hope tonight’s show is great in his honor.
So handsome. What a great smile. He seems like a gentle soul. May he rest in perfect peace. I rarely comment here but you guys are part of my everyday that I feel like I know you all. Hugs vogue.
I kinda loved that opening. Idk if anyone ever really was involved in a production of it hello before but the shot of them under the light made me think of that (in high school we had to do it for advanced placement English….I would do anything for college credit lol….and anyways I was on the lights for the first night (two nighter and anyways i had to do the lights like that but ended up flashing it over a stage crew person eating chips….fun times fun times).
What a handsome man! Bless you, Vogue.
Wow, Robert is so sophisticated and smart spoken! Terri has done such a fantastic job raising her and Steve’s children.
Ugh of course TPTB are dragging out the suspense regarding Tamar. JUST SAY WHAT HAPPENED AND LEAVE IT, PEOPLE.
Are they really doing the “we’ll update you about Tamar?”
I’m sure a solid 95% of the audience knows she withdrew.
Really we are going to replay the Tamar drama again. I thought the worst was over last week. Is there no low that Rob Wade won’t sink to for the sake of DRAMA. Not surprised, just disappointed.
What a lovely photo. He just radiates fun and joy. Vogue, so sorry for your loss.
((((((Thank you All))))) I am speechless…just speechless. THANK YOU everyone! XOXOXXOOOO
They had to get golden boy in that opening number somehow didn’t they. Even though he’s out the competition they still had to find a way. Yawn.
Vogue, my deepest condolences. My thoughts are with you and your family right now, I’m sure he’s in a better place xx
Ok so I gotta love the song choice for this. It’s pretty catchy but than again it’s Sia so every one of her songs is quite catchy. The dance was pure fun and made me think of cotton candy (partially becuase of the pink but more becuase it was good right to the end and never lost its fun).
They’re just going to run this Tamar thing into the ground, aren’t they?
And based on the comments from the three idiots, looks like they’re going to lowball and nitpick Bindi to hell.
Seriously??? Way to nitpick AGAIN!!!! She’s 17..I don’t think down n dirty is appropriate! So underscored.! Color me pissed!
Awe, what a cute salsa! I have to agree with Julianne, it’s a bit odd to see such a…ahem, clean salsa, but I liked it. I like what Carrie Ann said…I hope to see a bit more sassiness and edge in her next dances.
That was a smarmy comment from Erin: no need to ask the child about his sister’s hips. That’s unnecessarily sexualizing their relationship. But Robert was a class act and just said that Bindi was fantastic. He’s already better on TV than Erin! (And I think Erin does a decent job, but that was a fail.)
I didn’t really love it. It reminded me of Bethany and Derek’s cha cha dance off I expected better choreography from Derek. It was very basic like a mix of cha cha and samba. She’s not as good in Latin dances but I liked her cha cha with Val much more. I’m worried for her. I sense the Nick pimpage to be at an all time high today with a tango and the pimp slot.
Bindi was great as usual but Bindi’s brother? Wow! How is it these kids have so much charisma and poise?
Bindi turns amazing! Wish I could turn like her! I thought she did amazing. The down and dirty really irritated me, how in the world will bindi be down and dirty and Latin and flirty with that song for a salsa???? Give her a real suitable salsa song, like Carlos got. Did bindi even make a mistake??? Those 9’s are bogus. Omg did bindi swear lol, for some reason I thought she doesn’t??? Lol she is human. The Tamar thing still peeves me though, it’s no ones fault but her own that she over pushed herself and had no healthy boundaries, but of course do want her to recover.
That’s such a sweet picture of your daddy, Vogue. 🙂
That wasn’t her best dance but it was still great and I loved their arm work. Definitely the best Salsa of the season!
Last post before I log off for the night, but I notice that Nick is dancing last again tonight. I find that very interesting considering he danced last the week before and that if TPTB wanted him that badly as their winner then surely he’d have danced last next week in the finale. Surely the odds are now on Derek and Bindi dancing last next week instead with them first on tonight? Maybe TPTB have realised that Bindi has been running away with it on votes and have given up on trying to stop her from winning. One can hope!
Wouldn’t it suffice to say “Our best wishes to Tamar,” and that’s it. The drama is over played.
I could feel it, I could feel it in my gut from the beginning of the show, that with Bindi going first, and the look of a tinge of nervousness on her face as they announced her coming up, that the energy was gonna pull towards nitpickiness. And because she was PERFECT and CLEAN with the steps, of course they had to pick on something else small to stay relevant. Now, not to knock anyone else, but I can see that another dancer, who is not NEARLY AS CLEAN AT ALL, but has more star power (dare I say who it is?) is gonna bust out 10s for what will likely be a lackluster performance. I don’t like it one bit. But, two more dances to go for Team Crikey, and votes can change everything, so I am gonna get to it! Go Bindi and Derek!
Vogue … So sorry to hear about your father. My deepest condolences. May your love and wonderful memories comfort you now and forever.
Before I say anything about alek, I gotta correct what autocorrect put in my post about the opening dance: othello was the play. Ok had to get that off my chest. Anyways alek’s video was great (I didn’t see bindi’s so I can’t comment on it…apparantly I missed a good one). Seeing Noah and Kobe in the video was icing on the cake. Kobe doesn’t seem as tall on camera…go figure. Anyways the dance was gorgeous. It fit his story perfect and the choreography was perfection. adding the Paris situation right now all I keep thinking is that he city of lights really has had a rough time this year and I know it will bounce back like New York did after 9/11. One of my buddies is in Paris right now and was in his hotel at the time (thank goodness becuase he almost bought tickets to that concert) and this dance hit home for so many reasons for me. My fav dance of the season thus far.
Bindi-I thought that salsa was great! It was light-hearted and fun to watch.
Alek-After tonight, I think Alek has a good chance of winning this season. He is receiving a lot of support from fans and finally some love from the judges. That waltz was beautiful.
Unless, Carlos pulls out a ground-breaking performance, he will probably be the next one to go home.
Okay I loved Aleks dance don’t get me wrong, but was it better than Bindi’s? No way! Hoping that her Jazz trio will be amazing and she had enough time to learn samba!
Bindi and Alek’s packages were awesome. Just shows two really down to earth individuals. Aside from all the BS this season, it has been a pleasure to see two genuinely nice people compete on this show.
I didn’t think so much of Bindi’s salsa; I thought it was a little “safe”. I think the 9’s were about right. But, much as I love Alek’s story, he’s really hasn’t shown much improvement. I thought the scores of 10 for his waltz were way too high, and they make me wonder if they’re setting him up to be eliminated tonight. If there even IS an elimination tonight
Ooh Contemporary for Carlos…I see another perfect score from The 3 Stooges! Alek was good but NOT 3 pt’s better than Bindi.
Vogue, your father is lovely angel with you all the time.
Hugs to you!
I honestly think Bindi’s Salsa was way better than Alek’s Waltz. All 10’s? RELLY? I do love Alek though and enjoyed both of their packages.
Carlos contemporary was disappointing. He spent almost half of the dance on the rope with no actual dancing. On top of that, the package was so annoying.
Do we have to have continuing Tamar updates? We all know what happened. We all know she shouldn’t have danced last week. Let’s move on.
I did not like Carlos dance at all. I’m hoping Alek has enough to get past him because I would like him gone. I didn’t care for him w 🙂 enough this started and it hasn’t improved as the weeks have gone by. And did we really have to w as tech him and Alexa crying again?
So, Andy….you wanna be Zayday, Amanda or Burke? Or do you wanna stick to ONE name?
Ok I gotta admit that knowing a little bit more about why Carlos is the way he made him more likeable in my eyes. Also I’m loving how super competitive Carlos seems like the ones that’s here to stay and not fake Carlos so I’m all for that. Anyways I saw the rope at first and thought “what the hell is this?” And then suddenly we have Tarzan on our hands….actually more George of the jungle lol. This was interesting and to quote Bruno “different”. But my version of different is clearly different from Bruno since this dance made me go “this is very weird. I kinda never want to see this again”. Side note, Alexa looks great tonight. Glad she got over the elimination last week becuase I was expecting a sad Alexa.
Why is their such a great disliking for Carlos here? I’m just simply curious! I really like him though I liked Alexa better. I have to agree with Carrie Ann and Julianne though…his contemporary wasn’t his best. Still great, just not his best.
I am hoping all three 10’s for Alek does not spell an elimination, if there is one tonight. I do think the the song and what has happened in the world kind of lent itself to high scores as well. Sentimental votes.
Carlos scoring higher than Bindi is absurd!
That dance has a better score than Bindi? Do the judges still have to help him? I’m missing what they like about him. I just don’t get it.
Not sure why Alek received higher scores than Bindi. Loved his dance, but if he got 10s then she absolutely deserved them too – that salsa was really well executed. I think I’d like to see Carlos go home next; he’s good, but doesn’t compare to the others for me.
Three routines thus far and those judges want me to believe Bindi’s was the worst of the group? She has the low score? Someone reassure me this manipulation is because she is absolutely killing it in votes? I don’t know that my high blood pressure can make it through this.
Thank you for sharing a photo of Vogue’s dad, Rodney! I hope you’re dancing in heaven right now sir!
Charming Salsa from Bindi & Derek! She’s such a live wire but she also has a lot of depth. And I’m so taken with Bindi’s brother Robert! Such a GREAT pair of kids. I’m so thrilled that this season highlighted these delights. The judges are drunk or sumpthin’ Perhaps working with a wonky script from TPTB.
Alek looks AMAZING in a navy suit. I’m so thrilled that he made it this far so that we could see that performance. I’m glad that the three stooges FINALLY decided to comment on how far he’s come. But better scores than Bindi?????? Oh, there’s an agenda right there.
Can we shut up about a contestant that’s withdrawn?!! Yes, touching on what’s happened and wishing her a good recovery is wanted. But not ANOTHER night all about her. I’d best not share my thoughts on Carlos’ package. That contemporary didn’t resonate with me either.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been listening to Emma on All Access, and she did point out a couple of small mistakes in Bindi’s technique during the dance, and when Alek was dancing she kept remarking on how good his footwork was and that they had really both worked hard this week on improving this dance for him. She seemed to think he deserved the 10’s.
Now Carlos also outscores Bindi!?! Definitely a double standard. And how has Bruno never seen that before? You already pointed out where we ALL have seen it before.
Emma just said on all Access that Alek is on the tour. Guess we know why he got the perfect score tonight.
Also this Nick package is making me cry for the second time tonight. I cried too much last week! I need to save my tears for the finale!
Sorry Nick.. That Tango was NOT good! Agree with Jules.. footwork was bad! He’s been a disappointment. Mistakes galore.
Derek and Bindi: pure class in their reactions to getting 9s. Dance was good. I just can’t get on board when they do the smaller stage with the audience around them in dances.
Lindsay and Alek: great dance. Loved it! Lindsay looked beautiful. Alek looked handsome. Ok. He looked HAWT HAWT HAWT! Man looks good in a suit.
Witney and Carlos: he’s a d*uche bag and didn’t much care for the dance and I usually like comtemporary. He knows exactly what to say to sell himself.
Nick and Sharna: I thought it was okay. Not crazy about it.
DWTS: you are the biggest loser of the night. And it’s not even an hour in yet. Dragging out the Tamar situation has been ridic. This drama-driven type of reality show has ran its course. Get back to dancing. Dancing!
(in my opinion)
What a lovely picture of your father, Vogue. Sending my condolences to and your family.
Sigh – I’m just feeling frustrated by this night so far. Was that Bindi’s best dance? No, but it was light and fun and executed well. Alek’s was great but I don’t think it was better than Bindi’s. No way was Carlos’ better than Bindi. I’m hoping that the tone of the show changes because I’m just not liking the feeling I’m getting.
God bless Vogue and Rodney..sending heartfelt condolences, thoughts and prayers.
Good job Bindi! Its so inappropriate that Erin was asking Bindi’s brother about “down and dirty” dancing and fortunately he showed more class than Erin did with his reply. Carlos’ rope trick was a ho hum, watered-down reproduction of Derek’s with Amy. I don’t enjoy Carlos’ dancing. I thought Alek did a commendable job but not worth 3 tens over Bindi’s 3 nines.
Sad package about Nick but how bad does Aaron Carter look? Maybe it’s just me, i haven’t seen him for a while. What a tragic childhood for them both.
Not impressed with Nick and Sharna’s tango at all. He’s been so inconsistent all season.
Yikes Nick! I know the Tango is never an easy dance but that was sort of a mess. Expected more from him… he’s just so up and down every week!
i knew the whole nick carter backstory ( he was in dr Phil promoting a book or something) so the real shock was seeing Aaron. He looks like the kid from home alone. Anyways, that dance was solid but overall I think it might have been a combo of the video affecting him and overthinking it all that did him in this time. I will say that I loved the beginning though.
Lindsay has proven that she has what it takes to be a really great/permanent pro. I would not mind seeing Whitney bumped back to Troupe for Peta and Lindsay to come back next season as pros.
Definitely find Alek and Lindsay over-scored or Derek and Bindi under scored. I think considering Alek’s improvements and Bindi’s consistence, they should have equal or a lesser gap between scores.
The rest…. seem on point. looks like the pressure of the competition is getting the best of them. It’s like today’s leader board is on reverse.
Yes, the picture shows that Vogue’s dad has the best smile and twinkling eyes! Just how I would imagine Vogue to have with her sunny and positive blog personality.
Low balling Bindi again? But over scoring Alek? Although I am thrilled that he is finally getting the positive feedback that he deserves, I am worried that three 10’s doesn’t mean that they are letting him go. I want to enjoy Alek’s perfect score for at least another hour without getting upset.
Who really cares about Tamar? Just like with Kim. These reality stars just love the drama and it just turns me off. I can’t stand them and really feel like they embellish their situations to get the drama.
Vogue, so very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful picture of your Dad.
As for the show, could somebody please put Len on the first plane, train, bus or jackass back to the United States and to the chair in the middle of the judges’ table where he belongs? Never thought I would miss the old coot, but he is sorely needed!!
just when I think that Val has annoyed me to the point where I don’t care he does a dance like that. Side note, talk about a hot dance. I think everyone knows what happened to Tamar. I want to see the Video of the moron Doctor that told her “go ahead go do the dance” becuase I really want to see the stupid look on his or her face after they found the clots. Sometimes I question doctors but this was just terrible medical practice.
Sorry but this Tamar stuff is ridiculous over the top crap. Val doesn’t know when to be quiet and move on.
Bindi danced really well but whose idea to surround them with the crowd. Very distracting. Salsa was fun, clean and matched music so comments werent really valid or fair. I thought Alek had a strong package and his best dance but he is still not smooth and compared to Nicks waltz to Dalton Abbey or Bindis last week, it wasn’t 10 worthy. Carlos didn’t dance but swung for a 1/3 of his number – not my favorite contemporary. I felt horrible for Nick. He shouldn’t have watched his package. With the amount of steps he was off and all the counts he stood still while Sharna talked, that unfortunately deserved 7. I think 8 was too high. He’ll regroup though I’m sure.
Can’t have a semi-final without Val. I wonder if Tamar partner had been anyone else, if they would carry on like this. Please let this be the last we hear of Tamar.
I thought Bindi was great but I agree with the judges. Not so much about the down and dirty but I would have liked to see more hip action.
I thought Alek’s dance was spot on. Well deserved scores in my opinion
Thought Carlos’ dance was a bit of a mess. Bruno what are ou on about?
Bummed for Nick. It could have been good but wow was that footwork a mess.
Emma is in Alek trio. She is on Instagram asking for votes. She had Alek for switch week. I’m seems like maybe a little bias showing. If she was fair shed point out Aleks mistakes as that in no way looked as smooth snd glowing if a waltz as either Bindi or Nick.
The dance off cha cha where no buttons were safe literally was just off. Carlos was better than alek for sure but in the end I would watch alek over Carlos when it comes to those two dances. ok so bindi and samba….I didn’t expect that at all. This was the one dance I was worried about for her. Nick and sharna practiced in the back lol. Nick’s samba wasn’t that great in my opinion. Sharna looked good though and he was back to a plus form.
The rehearsal video is definitely affecting Nick. He looks sad.
As for the dance-off:
1. Latin dances are definitely not Alek forte. It was very slow for a cha cha. Carlos did better in the cha cha.
2. Definitely the better dance-off out of the two. Bindi did an amazing samba roll. Both Nick and Bindi did better than Alek and Carlos.
I actually liked Alek’s cha-cha better then Carlos’. Shame he lost. On the other side, Bindi and Derek OWNED that samba. No question about it.
I absolutely hated the 2nd dance off of the season but so super happy Bindi got the unanimous vote.
Alek is so sweet. I’m so glad he is enjoying and not letting the mind games get to him.
Derek Peck Alert! Derek Peck Alert! Whooooooooo!
That Dance-Off between Bindi and Nick was GOOOOOD! I loved both dances. The energy and passion were different, but both very high, and they had a good song selection that would great dance from. Bindi shook it! So fun. Looking forward to the next round…
Could Nick be the one leaving? From the dancing tonight will it count who is leaving? That would be a surprise elimination
Ok so wow just wow. Only complaint I had was Mark’s man bun lol. The rest was perfect. My new fav dance of the season.
Again! She is AMAZING!!!!!!! Remember people, she’s not a performer? Where does this come from?
AH I’ve been waiting all season to see Bindi dance with Mark! I originally wanted them to be paired together. That routine was just beautiful. It might possibly be my new favorite trio dance. I love watching Derek and Mark dance together. They were all just fantastic!! That music was beautiful as well! Does anyone know what it was?
OMG that Trio was unbelievable. I love Bind saying when Derek & Mark get together it is scary, and Derek I saw a light bulb and thought that would be fun to play with. Pure Genius.
What a great dance! When Derek and Mark leave this show, they will take imagination, creativity and innovative dancing with them. And I don’t see any other pro stepping up to fill their shoes. But then, their shoes are impossible to fill.
Have you ever seen a dance that made you jump out of your chair and just scream? That was that trio dance. If they didn’t give that a 30, I was going to get on a plane, get to Los Angeles, and just start rioting.
So it looks like they just used the dance styles these contestants didn’t use from the last dance off, so it seems slightly more fair to me then. I’m not a Nick fan, but his samba may have been one of my favorite dances from him. (Not better than Bindi but still good!)
Alek is doing great tonight! I see the improvement! Lindsay and Emma’s legs are ridiculous! Loving these trios so far.
Alek’s trio…..holy damn that was hot. I’m in awe. Like holy damn. to quote fancy it made me jump out of my chair.
OMG I’m fangirling so hard over Alek and Emma together, I’m a proud Alma shipper 🙂 Absolutely loved the intensity and passion of that Argentine Tango!!
Man, Derek and Mark are masters. I adored that jazz!
Alek has gone beyond himself tonight. Kudos! Here’s to the regular guy!!!!
PH I agree with you, Lindsay has had some great choreo and really played to her partners strengths. She has also worked with someone with no dance or performing experience and she has taught him so well. Just think how well she did with Carlos on switch week. I think she has also come back as more likable than the other two as well.
Bindi`s salsa may have been a little safe but still so precise. Holy dam the Samba and trio were perfection and so creative. Bindi has really step up and excepted everything Derek has given her with style and grace.
Ok so I loved Carlos and the dynamic duo that is Karina and witney. Couldn’t keep my eyes off of Karina and for that I must say thank you for choosing her Carlos. In my opinion Karina stole this dance lol.
I’m hoping that Alek and Lindsay’s night tonight doesn’t result in the Charlie/Sharna fiasco of S18. I hope he gets votes from the package and stays in – I know all of my votes are going to him!
I got to the party late Vogue, so please accept my condolences. It is hard to lose a parent you have lots of support and love from here ready to listen and lift you up. You are loved.
Now onto the show. This is a weird night isn’t it? I didn’t understand the judge’s comments for Bindi and Derek and thought oh oh the night is rigged. The judge’s scores are just weird so I think that they are trying to manipulate the audience with them.
Carrie Ann is on drugs. I did not see any parts where they were out of sync. Maybe she could have mentioned that when she was critiquing them?? That’s bull, definitely should have been a perfect score. This trio round has been amazing so far!!
I seriously LOVED alek, lindsay, and Emma’s trio!!! I honestly was thinking that this was a perfect ten dance…I really don’t agree with the judging this season. They have been really inconsistent and they don’t mind having favorites which bothers me :/ but alek’s trio was AMAZING that deserved at least one ten
My wish is for a Bindi/Alek final. It won’t happen though. As long as Carlos isn’t in it, I’ll be ok.
What in the heck is up with Nick I’ve never seen that much from him he is so inconsistent. I know he has a lot of fans and has a come back story but IMO he is not the best dancer. Alek and Carlos really confuse me I go back and forth with liking their personalities and dances. Bindi for the win she really does deserve it.
Carlos, Wit, and Karina’s Charleston was so fun! I really liked it. Carrie Ann is ridiculous…they were not even a hair out of sync. I’m really loving Nick,Sharna,and Peta’s salsa. It was kind of a “poppy” salsa.
Ok didn’t like the hip hop, I mean salsa. I could have really done with out the crotch grabbing bit.
Peta is back on the dance floor! I love her so this made my day. I wish I could say that I liked the dance as much as I like her lol. saying that it was a fun dance and he owned it but honestly I was thinking 9s. the highlight of the night might be Carrie Ann’s critique lol. That was very Bruno-ish.
I am with you on the choreo comments Heidi. I really did enjoy Lindsey’s dances with Alek more than the ones with Carlos and Nick…although I have to say I liked Nick’s last dance. The issue for me is his inconsistency. It will be interesting to see who goes home tonight as long as it isn’t Bindi!!
OH MY GOD IF BINDI GOES HOME I WILL SCREAM.
Peta came back so fierce!! It completed the night to see her back on the dance floor. Ugh so happy she’s back, she was greatly missed.
Loved all those trio dances. Bindi/Derek/Mark was def my fav, followed by Nick/Sharna/Peta. Love their friendship and how they always use each other – I wonder what would happen if they ever both make it to trio round and can’t use each other.
Does anyone know what the song was that Jenna and Val danced to? Was so hot!!! Jenna needs to be a pro with a celebrity next year!
Okay, I’m very confused with Tom’s statement. Does that mean that Nick or Bindi got the lowest combined score/votes? I can’t see how Carlos is getting more votes than either one of them. That doesn’t make sense.
Anyway, thought Nick did a great job with the salsa! My favorite dance of the night. Glad Peta is back.
I have to say.. I’m happy for Alex. He’s come the farthest and worked as hard as anyone. Is he the absolute best dancer? No. But he is a joy to watch and the way he faced each week’s challenge with absolutely nothing in his history to say, “Oh yeah,I can do this,” is just amazing. I don’t believe he’ll win nor do I think he should, but I wish him all the best in what should be a bright future.
Bindi and Derek were my favorite of the night. Love the trio with Mark!
I found Tom’s comments about the lowest combined score interesting. I’m not sure I buy for one second that Bindi is in the bottom.
Nick’s trio reminded me of Noah’s trio with Emma it had the same vibe. Sharna could’ve been more creative, but it was a good dance. But Bindi was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G tonight.
I’m guessing they won’t count the scores/votes from last week going into next week? If that is the case, it will be very bad news for Nick if what Tom said is true (or is he just stirring up some drama).
Anyway, I thought the semifinal was great tonight. I enjoy all of the trio dances to some extent. Looking forward to the freestyle next week.
Well that did not take long. TPTB already have a post on FB (before the show was over) using Tom’s comments to Alek after his first dance tonight, saying ‘Our’ thought go out to Paris.
And surprisingly they also have Bindi’s trio dance up already. Woo hoo!
And Alek’s dances tonight made me smile because he was so happy.
Off to vote for Bindi.
I didn’t see the show but I had to do a double take when I saw the scores dished out. Most notably Alek’s perfect score! Then I found out via All Access that Alek is apparantly doing the tour, well that explains that. I’m guessing he’s just jumped the queue when it comes to who TPTB want in that final. I would be very nervous if I was Carlos, he’s a cert for 4th place now in my book.
I updated Dancing by the Numbers for the curious.
Thanks Princess Heidi! I love reading your number posts! You brought up a very good point that Tom could be saying stuffs to bring in more drama and viewers for the show. I hope your prediction for this week comes true and Carlos finished in fourth place.
Wow. Bindi was amazing tonight. And Derek is a genius. I am left with one question: what the is he going to do for a freestyle to top that trio dance?
I want Bindi to win and have Derek go out on top, but would not complain if Alek did.
I haven’t watched the show yet (west coast here) and I know you frown upon one liners, but I just have to post what a wonderful full of joy picture you’ve posted of Rodney! Thoughts are with you and your family Vogue.
Going back and reading the comments on this post from early in the show and….
….I just love our readers. 🙂
What song played during Derek,Bindi and Mark’s jazz trio routine?
I’m so sorry for your loss Vogue.
I love this site. I’ve learned so much.
Thank you for all that you do.
Welcome back Vogue, we missed you!!!
Interesting show tonight. I felt bad for Nick. He really should not have watched that package. Alek really showed his improvement, especially in that Cha Cha. I wouldn’t mind him winning, I just don’t want it to be because he’s going on tour. I’m really trying to warm up to Carlos, but just can’t, and Witney is not helping in that matter either. Bindi killed all 3 of her dances. I want a Ballas Hough Emmy nod. I also now want to see a full length samba from them. How sexy was that? I watched that dance like 15 times already.
Next week’s votes & scores will still be combined with this week because even though they revealed that “jeopardy” it has not been used to eliminate someone and just for drama.
I wasn’t able to see the whole show yet, kid stuff interfered, so I do plan on going back when I can, to see the whole thing. But while they were rehashing the whole Last Week With Tamar part, to prove that it was live and not scripted, there was a very brief thing with one of the co-producers talking with Val, apparently just after Tamar returned. Did he ask Val, “but was she cleared?” Val didn’t give a real answer to whatever was asked, did he?
I enjoyed all the trio dances but Bindi/Derek/Mark was by far my favorite of the night. Wow!! This dance made me so excited for what Derek has in store for their Freestyle next week. Cannot wait!
Even though I don’t care for Carlos, I liked his Charleston trio. I kinda thought he should’ve gotten a perfect 30 but now after reading the updated numbers post, I’m wondering if the low-balling on CAI’s part was to make sure Nick would be able to get past him next week. I don’t know. But there’s a huge gap between Nick and Carlos in scores from tonight, so I think Nick is going to end up 4th no matter what. Oh well. He was my favorite coming into the competition but over the last few weeks, he’s been turning me off with his intensity and inconsistency so I don’t really care what place he ends up in. But I am curious to see what kind of Freestyle Sharna is going to come up with.
Also, I think Karina and Witney need to team up more for Trio dances. This was the best choreo I’ve seen from Witney all season long. All of her prior routines have been seriously lacking IMO.
Rest in peace, Rodney. My thoughts and condolences go out to Vogue and her family. Hope you ALL enjoyed the show!
Um…Emma is clearly on the Alek train. And considering the whole…shipping thing…I wouldn’t really call her impartial, Sharnai.
Something touching about Nick’s tango…..how they just stopped and she just pulled him together. Such a great partnership, but I think that package affected him.
My favs wer Bindi’s trio – very powerful! And Nick, Sharna, and Peta’s salsa was fun.
Vogue, your dad was adorable. I lost my dad not that long ago so I get it…….
This was my favorite night of the season thus far. Although the judging wasn’t perfect, I thought it was far more consistent than the rest of the season and I think for the most part, the scores (from all three dances) balanced out to where they should be when all was said and done.
The inner 13 year old in me has to ask, so what’s the deal with Emma and Alek? I noticed they were dodging all the questions. Now that he is going to be on the tour, it seems like something could actually happen between them. Witney said in a recent interview that Emma “might be unavailable” but that she wasn’t supposed to say.
Curious as to whether DT has the scoop…
There have been recent social media postings that could leave the impression that Sasha may be back in the picture. But knowing how savvy Emma is with social media, that could be a beard as well. I’ve always gotten the impression that Emma was a pro that would never get involved with a celeb partner. In fact, I’ve always gotten the feeling that she requests people “out of range” for that very reason. I can imagine it helps keep the drama to a minimum. Up to this point, I’ve been assuming that “unavailable” reflected her commitment to the show, not another person.
Again, I’m grown and shouldn’t care, but I’m very curious if she’s indeed got a man, or if Alek has a shot.
Hi everyone. I’ve never commented on this site even though I have been lurking since Meryl and Charlie’s season. Just wanted to say a big thank you to the moderators because it seems that you all do an extraordinary amount of work to keep this site informational, troll-free, and full of intelligent discussion. I also wanted to send my condolences to Vogue. The picture of your dad reminds me of my own, and the loss of a parent (especially a sudden loss) is something that never quite goes away even though time does lessen the pain.
I also wanted to say that I quite enjoyed the dances tonight. Truthfully, a lot of the solo dances in the first round felt forgettable. However, things began heating up in the dance-off round. I am still so impressed by that awesome samba Bindi whipped out. And I thought each couple was great in the trio round, but I was probably most impressed with Bindi’s jazz and Alek’s AT.
On a side note, I really enjoyed all the music in this episode. I am a huge nerd that pretty much has gotten her everyday playlist the last few years from dwts. I have seen posts in the past detailing the music used for a particular episode, but I wasn’t sure if you guys do those every week or not. A question for the moderators–if convenient and if you have time, would it be possible to post a list of this week’s songs? You might have been planning on it already, so sorry if this ends up being redundant. You guys do great work, and your commentary has really added to my understanding and enjoyment of the show (however flawed and overdramatic it may be :)).
By the way, another poster asked what song Val and Jenna danced to. I actually know that one! It’s called “Here” by Alessia Cara. Was hoping to perhaps see an AT to it, but I think Val and Jenna definitely did it justice.
**Correction, Lindsay said in an interview, not Witney (that’d be weird)
A producer shouldn’t be asking Val that, I don’t think. I think Val should be asking the producer. But hell, who knows?
I love Bindi and Derek tonight but I think you guys are being to hard on Carlos he is my second favorite on the show and has some real dancing potential
Welcome, Hannah. 🙂
Vogue, your dad had a beautiful smile that lit up his whole face. I’m sure he was a wonderful man because he raised a lovely, kind and wonderful daughter. I lost my dad suddenly 2 years ago. Hold tight to the memories. He is always with you and one day you’ll be together again. Big hug. I’m not going to comment here on the show, I tweeted enough tonight. I just wanted to say welcome back Vogue and know our thoughts and prayers have been with you. Rest in eternal peace Rodney. XO
#Ronnie the song is Resolve by Nathan Lanier
I might be the only person who didn’t like Bindi’s trio. It turned from good dancing to Bindi dances with supplies from Home Depot. And I am so over tutting in performances. I’d be ok if Allison or Derek never used them again.
Thanks, Princess Heidi. I normally keep a strict no-commenting policy on blogs and websites because comment sections tend to be, well…the dregs of humanity. 🙁 However, you have created a nice environment here at Pure. You and Courtney remind me of two pirate queens (in the best possible way) who force anyone who doesn’t want to obey the rules to walk the plank. Lori and John seem like good first mates, keeping things running largely behind the scenes. And Vogue? She seems like the Florence Nightingale of the operation–spreading cheer and health and light wherever needed. (Sorry, I know Florence Nightingale and pirates are totally unrelated, but I am tired and couldn’t think of a suitable pirate-related metaphor for Vogue).
I also did a search and realized John posts the song lists every single week. Sorry for my unneeded ask for that in the previous post.
@#87 re Lindsay. Yes to everything you said. My wife and I have really liked her from her first appearance on SYTYCD. After the boxer (who she did get through week 4, if I remember correctly), it appears she used her time in the troupe wisely and soaked up choreography. And the way she puts in lifts for Alek is just amazing, plus her trust in him not to be dropped from about 7 feet off the floor!
And if Alek is going on the tour, more power to him! Between his earnings there and on DWTS he should be able to pay for college without incurring a load of debt.
Definitely our favorite pairing of the season.
Bindi’s Contemporary, Trio and Quartet dances were so spectacular that I can hardly wait to see what Derek will do for their Freestyle!
I totally called that Nick and Bindi jeopardy. So unoriginal from TPTB. I sure hope Carlos goes home next week, he is too full of himself for my liking.
Haven’t seen the full episode yet but that Val and Jenna dance was amazing! Just goes to show that it doesn’t matter how good we think the celebs dancers are – nothing reaches that calibre. Bring back pro numbers!!
The whole “Bindi’s losing” garbage made me laugh. Now they’re spreading out the finale in two shows – the first one will make us wonder if Bindi will make it, the second she’ll “make up for all the mistakes” and they’ll be saying they wish they could give her an 11.
Whoever did that disco dance at the end – foot work was all bad from him. Yet, perfect score. And Tom says because the lost Tamar, Bindi being at “the bottom’ for a few seconds was just build up to the “Everyone gets to stay!” Do they really think we don’t know this stuff is happening? We aren’t idiots.
If Bindi loses, then for sure it’s rigged to the touring people. She has far and away danced with more skill and passion than any other.
I thought Karina did a charleston with Jacoby. He was out of breathe and said …”Charleston….I should’ve done Afro Jazz”.
really enjoyed tonight’s show!! … few things to have come out of it for me, Karina and Peta both need to be back as pro’s next season loved seeing them back out there.
Enjoyed all of the trio’s but as expected Bindi, seriously girl how good are you, blows my mind!
loved the opening pro number, Whitney is incredible to watch in a pro number… and then Val and Jenna wow! bring on next weeek 🙂 🙂
Such a kind gesture to dedicate this to Vogue’s father. No doubt he is smiling somewhere.
A patriotic dance is always a crowd pleaser and given Alek’s persona he may have swayed more votes his way. If I wasn’t on the Bindi train I would have given him my votes. It’s weird to go from mom and apple pie to Alex not speaking to his mother for 4 years. Probably should have left that out. I like Nick but he is extremely inconsistent. He also likes to incorporate moves he is comfortable with when faced with new dances. I found his salsa more BSB than salsa. Am I the only one who thought Nick and Sharna dancing behind Bindi and Derek was rude? It had to pull focus from their dance especially for the live audience. Derek is an amazing choreographer but I think he has really found his muse in Bindi. I really think he kicked it up a level this year if that is even possible. I hope Tamar is doing well but we didn’t need to see the sequence of events. Except that it let Val play Harry Humble because have we mentioned he will be on tour? Loved his dance though.
First off, my thoughts and prayers to Vogue – hugs to you, sweetie! Love you!
Now, to tonight’s show – maybe I’m crazy. Well, I know I’m crazy, but maybe I’m crazy and wrong on this. But I believe that the line from Tom about “one of you has the lowest total of viewer votes and judge’s points”. I just can’t imagine them playing around, or creating flat-out false narratives, when the viewer votes are involved. Isn’t DWTS at least partially controlled by the ‘Game Show’ laws in California? I would think that misrepresenting the votes cast would put them in some hot water.
That said, it means that either Nick or Bindi are in trouble. I’m guessing it’s Nick, but… Bindi isn’t a U.S. television star; her fame here is tied to her late father. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear…
Also, I was watching DWTSAllAccess tonight. At one point, they had Alek, Lindsay, and Emma on (Emma was there most of the night). Between the “Who’d you rather be stuck in an elevator with?” and “Who has the best booty?” questions, and the screen cap with Alek and Emma surrounded by a heart of roses, I thought I was going to gag. They literally did everything except ask those poor two people to choose a sex act at random, and perform it for the live streaming audience. And to top it off, when Emma left to dance, and Sasha replaced her, the FIRST question to Sasha was “So, what about you and Emma?” Good God, give it a rest! Maybe if they got Dominic and a few other guys there a subscription to a porno website, they’d CALM DOWN… 😉
What a sweet photo of your dad, Vogue – sending my condolences. I hope each day gets easier for you.
Not a big fan of salsa in general so Bindi and Derek’s didn’t wow me -but they killed the trio dance.
I really enjoyed Alek tonight – wanted to throw him some votes, but gave them to Derek and Bindi instead. I can’t believe they were in the bottom two so I have to think it was Nick – or just drama?
I would like to see Derek and Bindi and Alek and Lindsey as the last two standing with Bindi and Derek holding the MB at the end.
I’m glad we have the final we do, though I’m sad for Tamar. I also feel for Val — no doubt he and Tamar didn’t click at the start but you could see how gutted he was for her and his genuine concern for her health. Something about the Tamar situation from last week seems off — would the lawyers etc really let her dance without medical clearance? If so, that was irresponsible especially now that we know it’s blood clots. Also, the whole she has to come or we are disqualifying her seems weird — they’ve judged off of dress rehearsal for group dances, like hen Amy Purdy had her back spasm. Still bugs me.
Other than that, the other thing I learned is that I want a Derek/Sharna samba pro dance as soon as possible.
No one has been as steady as Bindi in performances. She has been leading in all-over scores all season. I have voted for her since week one, because she showed such natural talent, and her attitude has been way over the top and she has nailed so many dances, more than the others. I have a feeling that if it’s true what I read that Alec is going on tour, wow! Then that no doubt means that they are giving him the mirror ball. While he has a nice personality, and is a hero, it’s another Noel thing only he danced better with having all his limbs. I guess this show isn’t all about dancing or personalities, because Bindi is overflowing in that area. This season it’s about every young viewer in love with a hunk. Oh, well whatever is whatever.
I think it’s the Sharna hasn’t won comment that tells it all.
I do hope that this is Derek’s last season. Then I won’t be tempted to watch anymore. Last year his partner danced perfectly and no one liked her personality and that’s all we heard about all season. It’s becoming so real that it’s a pre-arranged and set-up ahead of time show, just like all other reality shows. Shirley Ballas has even said it. And, it’s true that it’s all about RATINGS both for the TV show and the Tour.
Vogue,ton père Rodney doit sourire du ciel pour voir vous revenez sur le site pure. Amour:MetroJJ
Can we please have trio week in the semi-finale every season? The standard of dancing was amazing and it didn’t look like a mess which is what it tends to look like earlier on in the season when they normally do it. Bindis trio was so clean and clever and Nicks salsa was awesome! Both Bindi’s and Nicks trio was very successful imo because I didn’t watch the pros at all like I did in the trios. I didn’t like Karina and Witneys costumes didn’t feel like it fit the dance properly, but their trio and Aleks trio was also very good.
Bindi needed to get down in the ground more in her salsa and that would have given her hip movement but I didn’t agree with the judges wanting it to be raunchier – that is the Annie theme song for goodness sake.
Alek shines in the ballroom dances. Lindsay better have a permanent spot as a pro.
Carlos contemporary was good but I just didn’t connect with it. I find Witney’s choreo pretty boring.
Nick’s tango had a perfect score potential, pity he messed up but he picked everything up after that “pep talk”. Worried about him for next weeks elimination. There was something very real about him when he was crying (unlike carlos’ tears) – I felt for him.
Are the judges allowed to drink before the show?? Surely they should cap Carrie-Ann because I can’t stand it when she judges so stupidly and makes those noises. Makes me cringe watching her.
No one really blew me away in the first round, but I did think the trio round was one of the better ones we saw (probably because it’s so late in the season). I even found myself liking Carlos for a change. Alek had such a stellar night. I was glad to see Nick bringing it back around for the trio dances.
I hope next week doesn’t feel anti-climatic with the same four dancing. I’ll be interested to see if they do the repeat dance round and whether it’s new choreography or they change it up. Also very curious to see what all four celebs will do for their freestyle. Derek is a master at freestyles, I have quite a bit of faith in Sharna, and Lindsay is going to have to prove herself but she’s done well so far this season. The pro I probably have least faith in is Witney. Since it seems she isn’t getting outside help anymore, her choreography (and dancing for that matter), really went down this season IMO.
Can we stop with the Tamar show now? Also, I really never need to see that much of Jenna on my screen again. I know she’s supposed to be the shit, but I can’t stand her. I’m also sick of all the Val/Jenna shippers out there when no one even knows if they are dating.
Now that I’ve slept on it and cooled my jets, I do believe the second hour of the show was soooooo much better! The dancing was good in first half, but it was the drama crap in between that got old, fast! I enjoyed ALL of the second half of the dancing. I’m not one to know the actual proper dances fitting what was performed, but the dancing was entertaining across the board. In the past, I haven’t really cared to know who actually won, but this year I would probably be disappointed if Bindi didn’t win. She’s been the most consistent and entertaining. All of the finalists have had some great dances, but she just stands out to me. If my least favorite dance of hers (the salsa) still gets 9s from the judges, tells me she’s the real deal. (in my opinion) And of course, Derek being easy on the eyes, helps me watch their performances more closely ;-P Alek has had me watching more intently too. Both men have fulfilled my eye candy this season. *swoon*
Man, Nick!!! That tango had the potential to be amazing!!! Nick has the same problem as Alexa did…they both get into their heads too much so they are always messing up. Nick needs to calm down. I was so excited at the beginning of the season for him because I thought that Sharna was going to finally get a chance at winning that MBT. Part of me wants to believe Tom was BSing when he said either Nick or Bindi had the lowest combined scores, but part of me thinks he did it for the drama. It just doesn’t make sense for those two to be the lowest.
I didn’t like Nick’s tango and I was expecting a lot from him. His salsa on the other hand was just fantastic. I never liked Peta before but I’m actually glad to see her dance. I hope we get to see her next week with Andy too! It would be nice to see those two dance together since I’ve always been curious of what he could’ve been able to do with her as a teacher instead of Allison Not-A-Ballroom-Dancer.
Anyway, this is making me nervous. I’m unsure if Nick will come take it all since Bindi has been full speed ahead since the beginning and she’s pretty awesome. I want this win for Sharna more than anything but we will see!
Vogue: Can I just say that your Dad is just adorable? What a really cute picture of him and love that smile! 🙂 My Dad is 88 and taking care of my Mom who has Alzheimer’s. They have been together since they were 16 and never dated anyone else. He won’t let anyone help him care for her and as a result has just had a stroke. I will be heading to SC this afternoon to be there with him. My heart goes out to you and am sending prayers your way for you and your family.
Sally#141: thanks for posting all the Alek and Emma fun happening in All Access last night!! I loved reading about it and wasn’t grossed out or irritated by it at all. I think all the teasing with them was fun! Wouldn’t mind reading more fun behind the scenes stuff!!
One of my favorite parts of the show was when Alek laughed so hard after his mom fibbed when asked what Alek response was to the question “what else are you good at?” It was one of those spontaneous big laughs from the bottom of his tummy and he looked so happy to be with his mom. I just loved seeing that!
Hannah#131 and her description of the Pure mods was great! Loved it! She’s right that the Pirate Queens keep us in line and I love their expertise in everything DWTS! And love the First Mates and Vogue the Rainbow Unicorn!
Yeah, as soon as they called Alek safe first, I knew the Nick and Bindi thing was coming to – very typical producers, IMO.
As for the “they wouldn’t make it up because they can’t mislead the audience” idea – they mislead the audience every single week. Rather blatantly, IMO. That said, one or both could have been the lowest – I just have a very hard time wrapping my head around the idea of Carlos beating either of them at anything. But, maybe so. Maybe people got complacent.
Ummm…Barbara, the finale is ALWAYS two shows.
I will give you the “touring people” comment, though. Interesting that Alek is now going on tour right around the time he starts getting 10s. It was a great dance – but if it was all 10s, Bindi’s should have been 11s.
Cali Kim – it may have been rude, but it was smart. They were using the time and the music to practice their own dance. I know Derek has done it before, but it wasn’t noticed as much because of the camera work.
First off, I just want to say this site is really awesome. Just so many knowledgable DWTS fans and really like all the insightful opinions. Question regarding the tour because I saw some comments about it and I did not tune into All Access. Was it just announced last night that Alek is going on tour. Is he doing the entire thing? That seems like a lot! Any mention of any of the others joining?
I do hope that Bindi & Derek do the one dance they haven’t done which is the Paso Doble. I know it will be awesome and what better way along with the “freestyle” to wrap up the season for them.
I really don’t care what is going to come down; because Bindi has been my winner all season. I don’t think Derek will ever forget this experience of teaching and dancing with this ray of sun shine filled with a loving heart, Bindi Erwin. I will just be happy to see them dance in the finale and whatever happens I will just be so blessed to have had the opportunity to watch Bindi grow on the dance floor and spread her loving light all over DWTS and the viewer would.
GO! TeamCrikey!!!!!!
I would think that it was Nick who had the lowest combined total. They threw Bindi in there for the drama of it all. I voted more for Bindi last week & today than I have all season. Bindi has been the most consistent, has an amazing connection with Derek & is just so dang cute!!!
I expected Nick to be better & run away with this competition but he hasn’t. Alek is such a great guy & Lindsay has done so great with him. Carlos can just go away.
@Kelly #157
I thought the same about Nick. He seems to have rhythm (probably from being in music). He just hasn’t been consistent. Neither has Carlos sometimes. Alek was understandingly distracted by the crisis of his body being stabbed. We are living in a scary world these days. He has improved; but some of the dances he did better than others. I know Alek is a hero and we all honor him, and in a way so is Bindi. She is the best example for a roll model I have ever know.
For the most part the show bored me to tears last night, but Alek or Nick for the MBT.
Sorry but I am glad the show is almost over so I don’t have to hear Bindi again. I have taken to muting her from my TV.
I sure wish they could get some new judges, pretty please!!
Well,I didn’t like how Julianne told Bindi & Derek she wanted to see a down & dirty Salsa. Just because SHE was doing those kinds of dances as a teen, this is Bindi. Bindi is 17. C’mon Jules. You’re REALLY REACHING there! I hope Derek called her on it in private because it was total BS! Makes me believe even more that Bindi is running away with the votes. Plus the song didn’t really call for down and dirty either.
Here’s how I want it to go: 4th-Nick, 3rd-Carlos, 2nd-Alek and 1st-Bindi!! Nick has just been too inconsistent all season. I think Bindi is sooo sweet, as do most people I know who’ve been watching the show all season…they LOVE her!!
I agree–Bruno has been the most logical judge this season. The panel is really missing Len, that’s for sure!
I am so glad you said that about Kelly and the down and dirty Salsa for Bindi. I thought it was highly appropriate. All we are talking about in America is how over-sexualized our kids are and then when bam…yes that was an intended pun. It is just awful. I agree with your hoped for rankings, but TptB would have to not mess with things and for that that…I don’t have much hope.
What was the name of the song that Bindi danced to with the rope and lightbulb.
@Susan – The song is “Resolve” by Nathan Lanier. FYI, there’s a music post every week with all the songs that were used that night.
