Private Members Area – DWTS Season 24 Week 4 Discussion
It’s time again for Dancing with the Stars chatter! Share your thoughts and insights on this week’s Dancing with the Stars from the comfort of the Pure DWTS Private Members Area. If you’re not a Pure DWTS Insider yet, you can do so here. If you are, then I look forward to the discussion in the comments.
Week 4 of DWTS Season 24 is in the books. What were your thoughts about tonight’s show? Any stand out moments or standout people?
Are you glad that most memorable year is back? Or do you wish they’d retire that theme? Quite the variety of styles tonight as well.
How about the elimination…love it or hate it?
This is your place. Sound off on whatever you found interesting.
Was sad to see Mr T go. He at least has a story. Erika has what? She’s pretty & rich. So, how does that relate to the general voting public? Simone’s story was heart wrenching…as was Nancy’s & Rashad’s!!
Heather got married!!!!!! Goodie gumdrops! So do a lot of people. Not really different. She’s a PRO DANCER! She ought to be GREAT! Glad CAI called her on the blatant lift!
Kelly, I so wish they gave Erika a more serious dance and a slower song. I would have liked to see a whole other side to her. Get ready…as more of the same is coming next week sadly. She also acts as if she could care less if she’s on the show and if we like her or not where Gleb is trying so hard to make it the best he can for her. It’s sad.
And Rashad and Nancy were my top two faves too. I loved Simone and Bonner as well.
ditto kellyk.
I think it’s wonderful that Heather still loves her husband, but in comparison to the struggles of the other dancers, added to the fact she is a dancer, made this whole story make her look “pampered” IMO. Altho I have to wonder if she couldn’t tell her own real struggles – because more than likely, any serious injury, life altering moment would have happened related to her DANCING! And I don’t think TPTB would want that highlighted.
Absolutely loved Rashad, by far Emma’s best partner ever – physically but also emotionally.
And although I have no dance background, I’m going to say that the difference in the pros this week was astounding. IMO – this is the week that really proved how uncreative V/al was in comparison to every other pro out there. Sharna, Emma, Sasha, Artem and Kym just nailed it. V/al on the other hand thought everyone would be mesmerized by 5H performing and he could get away with little else. Normani and 5H stans are certainly vocal.
Jazz
But, IMO he ended up showing her biggest weakness – — his choreo!
Any idea if this perception of Erika is real or if it’s the story TPTB keep pumping? They haven’t exactly given Gleb the easiest things to work with as far as showing a non-sexy version of her. So I’m having a little bit of trouble deciding if it’s her, Gleb or the selections that are keeping her in the “one trick pony” image. Or maybe she and Gleb just did a really bad job of submitting songs?
Any scoop on Maks and if he will really return? It seemed a lot less promising last night IMO.
KUDOS to the mods, as always. And thanks in advance for any insights,
Funny…Jazz was awfully quiet on the live blog last night. Maybe she finally got the message that we’re tired of her Stangirling remarks especially when we all told her it was SHONTELLE who first sang Impossible and not James Arthur as she insisted! Lol
I have to say…after some random Harmonizer told me that I was mad because Normani and Val’s dance had the most views on YT than any other couple, that the Harmonizers are officially THE MOST ANNOYING GROUP of Fans of any celeb ever to appear on DWTS! These kids are just relentless…and have the deductive/critical thinking skills of a 5 yr old. Normani’s Rumba is getting views because 5th Harmony sang last night. Not because she’s the most popular contestant. Smh….
‘Normani will do better dances now that they’re not traveling”–um, did you JUST start watching DWTS this season? Val has been given NUMEROUS partners with extensive dance experience and he has YET to fully tap into any of his partners full potential and I expect the same for Normani. Hence the reason he’s never been nominated for an Emmy. Nothing groundbreaking there. Even Maks wasn’t nominated for any of his dances with Meryl. Derek and Mark got Emmy noms (Cheryl too I think) with Derek being the only one to WIN!
I FULLY understand why Court went private with her Twitter Act and I just did too. Not gonna get harangued by a bunch of teenybopper fangirls. lol
Next time a Harmonizer gives you crap, ask them why two former pros no longer dancing on the show got four times the number of views with their dance that Normani and Val got with theirs from the same week.
Good point Heidi! 😀
I’m in much agreement with you guys re: the Harmonizers. Every time I try to YouTube a DWTS dance or interview, I have to wade through a sea of annoying Harmonizer fan reaction videos. But as we all know, YouTube hits do not equal votes!
Then there’s a lot of other hardcore fanbases drawn to this show, like the Cubs fans, and they have been the nicest people in their support of David. The Harmonizers look pretty petty compared to those Cubs fans. I have always kind of hated baseball but David and his fanbase are making me see why people enjoy it so much.
I’m also as annoyed as you are, KellyK, at Heather’s trying too hard to be relatable to the point of unrelatability. In her People blog about MMY she even said things like, “Like every common girl I chose my wedding” and I was like JUST STOP IT ALREADY.
As far as MMY theme goes I think it has the most purpose out of all the themes. For the most part, we get to see the Stars sell themselves only on MMY and all the other nights it’s Disney selling Disney.
For the elimination it was Mr. T’s time to go, even if he was “Doin’ it for the kids!” I like how he and Kym “gradually eased off” together <3
If I were on DWTS, I’d have done like Mr T and chosen the year I beat cancer, 2012. especially since my younger cousin died later that same year also from cancer she’d battled for 2 years :'( I was a MESS at her funeral because I was sitting there thinking, why was MY life spared and not hers? This could be my funeral we were at..but instead it was hers. We got married the same year….we had our babies a week apart (TOTALLY not planned, either one) so had a lot in common…..so yeah, I wouldn’t have picked my wedding, that’s for sure.
I would pick the year I married myself and became my own trophy wife. Just kidding, nobody wants to see that “common girl” crap. We kicked cancer’s ass, let’s show the world how!
I would also choose the year I beat cancer (2002). Cancer destroyed my semi-pro dance career when it was starting to peak. But ironically cancer saved my life by showing me how unhealthy the competitive dance world was for me. I would hope to have a Contemporary and include martial arts elements, something like Paige’s MMA cage dance.
Cancer is a beast and I rejoice whenever someone SLAYS IT.
IF I had the talent Heather has I’d choose 2005 the year I lost BOTH my Dad and my husband to cancer. And please never feel guilty you are here for a reason. CELEBRATE IT HUGS to you both.
