DWTS Season 24, Week 8 – LIVE BLOG (Spoilers)

I’m back from NYC and oh, it was so good.  I highly recommend the show Waitress – hilarious and amazing. Derek is still rooting for Rashad.  Asked about Nastia being on tour Julianne made the mistake of saying she couldn’t give them (Derek and Nastia) a 10 in week 3, even though the dance was an 11 – to which the M&G audience booed. And then Derek smiled and said, “Thank you.” I know what it was – he was asked about if he ever got mad at her judging and he said one time – I believe it was Nastia’s tango. 🙂

Anyway…Derek in DA HOUSE. 🙂  Also, we’ve turned on comment moderation. You remember the rules. No one liners, and we need content. Refer to people by NAME.

There’s actual dancing in the opening dance!  A step in the right direction. 🙂

Rashad’s up first. Wonder how bad he’ll get screwed to advance an agenda tonight? Or will they finally lay off?

Pretty good jive. No mistakes that I saw, solid dancing.  That move at the end that looked like Derek’s crotch jump was cool.

I think Len’s foot work call is pretty BS.

Is that Nastia sitting behind the judges?

Think there should have been one 10 in there – probably the most content filled dance we’ll see tonight.

Arrogance…I mean Val is up with Normani. Sorry to hear about Normani’s experiences on social media.  So are we saving the injury part for later so she can have TWO emotional packages?? They workin’ hard for her tonight.

Huh. Don’t really know what to think about that dance. I didn’t find it particularly inspired – but I did note some improvement in Val’s technique.

Oh sit down, Julianne. I have no words either but I doubt that it’s for the same reason. Need I also point out that she IS a performer so she shouldn’t have  a problem being in the center and performing. And there has been no growth for her to be “beyond” – she’s always been good. As to be expected with a trained dancer.

Shocker. Perfect score. :::yawn:::

Bonner getting the crap edit. Hmmmm.  Dance takes quite some time to get started. He’s not a dancer, for sure, but there didn’t seem to be lot to this dance.

Fairly kind to both Sharna and Bonner….spoke too soon. Kinda mean comment from Len – to Bonner and the audience.

Simone is too cute. And yes, great connection there at the beginning of the dance. Odd beat to this song compared to their foxtrot.

Overall, great dance from Simone and Sasha. Let’s see if she gets all 9’s to keep Normani on top.

OH BS, CAI!!! You don’t know Simone? How about not knowing Normani??  They are down talking Simone and Rashad – going over time to make sure that Normani is top tier all by herself. Makes me question if she’s actually getting votes.

OMG, the Lindsay dancing on David’s feet might kill me.  I do love David. He’s making me emotional.

That was a beautiful, emotional dance from David and Lindsay – loved it.

CAI just kissed his ass – wonder if he’s going home.

Fun package from Rashad and the dance is kicking ass so far.

Okay, excellent. Very well done!!

The footwork issue is a bullshit critique when realizing that he’s dancing against a trained dancer.

Finally, a score worthy of Rashad’s dancing. Betcha Normani gets another perfect score…can’t have anyone coming close to her.

You know, that was a very good jive – but so what? The way Julianne is acting it’s like it was the recreation of a jive never done before.  Do we need to remind everyone how Derek and Shawn did a country cha cha and Len called them out for having a cow in the background?

Finally, Len gets real once again. VAL, this is not about you!! Jesus, arrogant attention whore.

Bonner is unfortunately stiff. And somewhat lacking in rhythm. Ah well, he’s got handsome going for him. 😉

Sharna nearly slipped there.  Jaysus, camera men you’ve been doing this for HOW long??

It occurs to me that Alan, Britt and Hayley are in trios tonight to get a read on how much popularity they might have and how they would do next season as pros. Time for a change out?

Another low score for Bonner. They sure aren’t judging him like he’s leaving…and they are judging David that way.

Great trio by Simone! Loved it. I suspect we’ll get BS critique. And….CAI is on some kind of medication with her critique. So, you want to see some other personality, yet you want her to be authentic. You want her to be herself, but she smiles too much? This is utterly ridiculous. Just insane.

Great comment by Simone – go girl. She’s definitely getting down on herself because they act like she can do nothing right, while slobbering over Normani for dances that aren’t that much better.

Those 9s are ridiculous. I can’t even with this show any more.

Hayley talks!!  There’s a lot of pretty girl in this dance – two of them!

Heck…I thought that was pretty good, for a BASEBALL player. Geez.  Thought it was better than 7s, honestly. All 8s would have been good.

SAFE: Normani and Val

SAFE: Simone and Sasha

David and Lindsay – SAFE

Putting Rashad in jeopardy. Interesting.

ELIMINATED: Bonner and Sharna.

After they run him down week after week, will putting Rashad in jeopardy help him or is it already too late for the sheeple?
