DWTS Season 24, WEEK FIVE – LIVE BLOG (Spoilers)

Disney Week – I can’t decide if I’m excited or not. 🙂 I have a tendency to recall Rumer sneering at the camera “Let Nastia and Derek have that song” like an entitled…anyway, that’s one of the drawbacks of watching this show since nearly the beginning. Almost nothing is new.

Hey, there’s my favorite little cutie from SYTYCD. JT!!

Okay, that was a really good opening number. Loved it. Very catchy number. Well done Alfonso. And the whole cast! That was really good.

LOL Emma! Peek at that mirror!

Hear that crowd roar after that dance? yeah, me too. 😉 Very good dance in my opinion. Didn’t like the stairs part at the beginning – gotta give Emma some crap on that the same as I do for the C-boys. Although they do it all the time and she usually doesn’t.

Kinda like the tinker bell look on Jules. It photographs better than it looks on the show.

Oh STFU, CAI. Boooooooooo!

Massively underscored. Massively. Totally hosed. That 7 was uncalled for.

And he’s called safe. That is highly annoying. Of course I want him to be safe, but I think it tends to suppress the votes for him by the people in the audience who have no clue.

Oh we’re back to this. SAFE – Heather and Alan

Jeopardy – Erika and Gleb

SAFE – Bonner and Sharna

Nick and Peta are jeopardy. And they dance next. Nick is kinda like Derek – give him a clean shave and he loses 10 years off his age.

Peta is right – he is getting better each week but the show is rather determined to keep him down.

Boy, Peta is really challenging Nick with some hard stuff. All that side by side? Cuuuhrap. And he handled it very well for the most part. Very cute dance, IMO. I have to admit that as soon as I saw the cane I was all “Charlie flashback”.

Hold the fucking phone. I like Nick and all, and think he did a very good job…that that dance was NOT better than Rashad’s – looking at you CAI. Is he going home? Very possible based on that score.

Man, crack is wack.

Erika getting the sympathy edit. :::sigh::: I’m sorry, she does nothing for me. I would much rather see Nick again than her. I’m sure she’s a nice enough woman, but…

I could have done without the hair flick in the middle, and her feet came off the ground. Pretty lackluster choreo, IMO. Not a horrendous dance by any stretch. Just not very impactful.

“Profound” CAI?? Jaysus. She’s getting the very kind judges as well – I thought it wasn’t nearly smooth enough.

And Erika also gets a higher score from CAI than Rashad did. I’m disgusted.

I’m sure you can do Jazz well, Heather. I would hope so since you’re a PROFESSIONAL DANCER!!!

The professional dancer did very well on the Jazz. But the choreo was way too weak for a professional dancer.

OMG, CAI gets real?? I’m shocked. Man, Len getting real as well. Waiting on Julianne the pro dancer apologist. And as expected, Julianne delivers. She makes a good point, true – but Heather is a professional dancer and she’s not dancing up to the standard one would expect.

Maks? I didn’t understand anything you were trying to say.

Yet another person getting a higher score than Rashad from CAI. He must be killing it in the votes.

Bonner is funny but he was very wooden in the opening. He gets progressively better…and then he gets wooden again. What style is this? Foxtrot?

Heh. Len can’t remember what style this was supposed to be either. 😀

Sharna has candy in her hair. So you’re trying to tell me that Bonner and Rashad are the same Carrie Ann?? MY ASS.

Forgot to mention my little JT in another dance. Love that kid. So cute.

More results…

SAFE – Simone

SAFE – David

Jeopardy – Normani (OH give me a break – trying to pump up the votes for Normani)

SAFE – Nancy

Prediction: they put her in jeopardy so that they can kiss her ass and give her a perfect 40. Classic redemption story. Even the package is playing into it.

Big break right in the middle. Probably Donny’s fault. She seemed a bit behind Val early on, and had trouble with some other turns. Almost falling out of them in a couple spots. Kinda weird. She did good, but I think I expected a bit more as well.

And the expected fawning commences. She does have good lines, for sure. But the turns are just odd in spots.

Geez, sexist much, CAI?? What does her being a girl have to do with anything??

I can’t believe Donnie was Season 9. That long ago? I like Normani – I just wish Val would STFU. I love how Erin’s cuts him off.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s 39 dance. Oh my god, SHUT UP, VAL!!

David is so cute and fun. Love him.

Yeah, big music break. Hate that.

Holy crap!! David just did a damn decent jive!! Remember, this is a baseball player, not a professional entertainer. Amazing job!! Lindsay scores on the choreo again.

These judges are just full of shit. Come on. The athletes with no professional performing experience aren’t doing that much worse than the performers (Normani and Heather) yet they are getting shit on by the judges. 7s?? Are you KIDDING ME? Dude must be getting serious votes.

Nancy looks BEAUTIFUL!! Come on, girl!! You can do it.

That was awesome!! A little rushed in that spot that she messed up in the blocking, but really good!!

I really like Artem this season – Nancy is bringing something out of him that is very positive. And, based on her running order and her judges comments, etc…I wonder if she might be doing very well in the votes.

And here we go with the bad edit for Simone!! Right on time, eh? At least they fixed it toward the end.

I love that little pig. I want one. A cartoon pig. Have I mentioned that I’m eating a Reese’s peanut butter rabbit with white wine? Total female combo, I must say. 🙂

Where’s Lin Manuel? I looooove him.

Okay, I’ve been waiting to see Simone’s talents put to good use. Best dance of the night, I think. But of course it likely won’t be scored that way.

Not the raving that the Normani and Heather got. Should have been the high score of the night. Grrrr….

Normani is safe, of course. Only in jeopardy to boost her voters.

Erika and Gleb eliminated, as predicted. Am I sensing some hostility from Erika or is that my imagination?

Okay, who was keeping track? By my count, Rashad and Simone were once again left out of the Erin skybox chat for how many weeks in a row now? If someone has been keeping track of who’s not getting Erin time, that would also help with my Mayhem post for this week. The timing, provided someone did it will help address the other issues – like who got cutesy disney animation during their packages? Hit me up at Heidi@purederekhough.com with your findings. Thx.
