V.Waltz: Simone’s, Nancy’s, both of Rashad’s

The blatant manipulation ruined so much of the season for me that the show became more stressful than fun at times.
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
STOP THE OBVIOUS MANIPULATION. It’s super irritating. The theme nights this season were also a little much. Maybe leave MMY, Disney night, latin night, and the trios. Everything else was a little overkill.
Thank you mods for making this a great season!
1. Lindsay and David, Nancy and Artem, Emma and Rashad, Sasha and Simone.
2. David- no contest!
3. Lindsay, Emma, Sasha, Artem, Kim
4. Rashad and Emma freestyle, David and Lindsay Waltz, Rashad and Emma rumba, David and Lindsay quickstep, David and LIndsay jazz.
5. Emma, Lindsay, Artem
6. D for blatant manipulation, lousy song choices that didn’t fit dance style, too much wasted filler allowed for some Pros during every dance, laughable judging, and a horrible final show that wasted time. Should I go on??? I can think of a hundred other criticisms.
7. No. I think it has run it’s course and needs to be totally revamped. A return to ethics would be welcomed- every member of Family needs to go, and I mean EVERY member. I detest the manipulation as well as the way some Pros are sacrificed season after season for the good of the “agenda”.

7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
-I loved this season. There seemed to be some issues with the judges. They need to do something about CAI taking off points for lifts and the other judges not. Also, LG doesn’t seem to like the more modern dances. DWTS showcases a lot of modern, new dancing styles and it is not fair that his point system is based off of that.
1. From most to least favorite:
1. Rashad & Emma
2. Nancy & Artem
3. David & Lindsay
4. Normani & Val
5. Sharna & Bonner
2. Mr. T., just barely beating out David for this!
3. Lindsay, Emma, Artem, Sasha, Sharna
4. Rashad & Emma’s contemporary, Normani & Val’s paso doble, Lindsay and David’s salsa. I also enjoyed David and Lindsay’s freestyle and Simone and Sasha’s Charleston.
5. Lindsay, Emma, Artem
6. C-. While we saw some great dances and Rashad and David kept the fun going, the manipulation was too blatant. And the judges grated on my nerves worse than ever.
7. No. If TPTB would just let things stay organic and stop trying to manipulate–and then admonish the audience for not falling for said manipulation–that would do world’s better for the show. I also want to see the female pros get the respect they deserve. Lastly, not every week needs at theme. Less is more.
1. 5 favorite – I only have 4 – Rashad/Emma, David/Lindsey, Nancy/Artem, Simone/Sasha
2. Congeniality Award – David or Nancy
3. Favorite Pros – Emma, Lindsey, Sasha, Artem, Sharna
4. Favorite Dances – Rashad/Emma contemporary, Rashad/Emma freestyle, David/Lindsey freestyle, David/Lindsey quickstep, Nancy/Artem Viennese Waltz
5. Choreography Award – Emma, Lindsey, Sasha
6. Grade – From the standpoint of who won an A because I’m sure that isn’t what TPTB wanted and that makes me happy. Overall a C because of all the manipulation that went on
7. Happy? – No. The manipulation has to stop. There is no attempt to try to hide it and it takes the enjoyment out of watching and what the show should be. They need a new panel of judges. CAI is never consistent and her drooling of the male celebs is hard to watch. Len is just plain rude and nasty and should go back to England and retire. Bruno being so over the top every time he talks is old and not cute. Julianne would be the only one I would keep, but even she has gone the way of what she’s told to do (Heather not knowing ballroom). Get judges in there that are impartial and let them judge. TPTB need to keep their hands out of it. More respect needs to be given to the female pros. Their choreography was so much better this season than the male pros. Get rid of the themes, the non-ballroom dances and the immunity challenge. Last, no more pro dancers like Heather and Normani. Or even Zendaya. Get the Davids and Rashads who truly have no dance experience on the show.
1. Bonner & Sharna; David & Lindsay; Rashad & Emma
2. David
3. Sharna, Lindsay, Emma, Kym, Sasha
4. Not too many dances really wowed me this season – I guess I’d go with Rashad’s 2nd Viennese Waltz and his Freestyle; and maybe Normani’s Contemporary
5. Emma, Lindsay, & Sharna
6. B in general, A for the final outcome
7. In general, yes – this season showed that the audience vote can course-correct sometimes for what the show is doing, with voters not being all that interested in a professional dancer competing, and not falling for all the hype about Normani & Val.
I do think something needs to be done about the judges – I found them particularly bad this year, from the way they judged the true-beginner guys vs. women with dance training, to the faux-shock over some eliminations, to things like how Len talked to Bonner on his last episode and Julianne’s blather about how Heather’s training wasn’t some enormous advantage.
1. David and Lindsay, Rashad and Emma, Nancy and Artem, Simone and Sasha, Mr. T and Kym
2. David
3. Lindsay, Emma, Sasha, Sharna, Artem
4. David and Lindsays Quickstep in week 1, Rashad and Emmas Finale Viennese Waltz, Nancy and Artems Samba
5. Lindsay, Emma, Sasha, honorable mention: Artem
6. B+ … I enjoyed it a lot, as I liked many couples and was glad that the likeable male celebrities got further than expected
7. I am not sure if I am satisfied but I liked it that even though of course they were manipulating the direction was not as clear.
1. Favorite 5 couples: (Most to least)
Nancy & Artem

David & Lindsay – Jazz, Waltz
Nick & Peta – Rumba
5. Choreograph Award:
Emma
Lindsay
Artem
6. Grade for the season: C
7. Satisfied with the direction of the show? Not really. They should resist the urge to take things in their hands and promote/demote certain contestants/pros. There were great couples (Nancy, Nick) who suffered this season because of TPTB’s machinations. And they should start reprimanding certain pros for lackluster choreography (Normani was a victim in this case) because its going to lead them nowhere. In the end, a lot of intelligent viewers are left feeling “usual” when they look back at the season because the pros weren’t able to pull it through and make it memorable. And I still pray this show gets to see more of Derek & Mark because each season without them falls flat and feels like an attempt to prove that the show can sustain with the fam too, which painfully enough, is not the truth.
1. Who were your favorite 5 couples from Dancing With The Stars Season 24?
Rashad and Emma, Nick and Peta, Nancy and Artem, Simone and Sasha, David and Lindsay

5. If you were to give a “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 23, who would they be? Sasha, Emma, Lindsay
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season? B-
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
If TPTB could just stop with the manipulation that would be nice. The bias and favortism from judges; nitpicking certain couples, while praising the heck out of one couple.
1. David and Lindsay, Rashad and Emma, Nancy and Artem, Simone and Sasha, Mr. T and Kym
2. David
3. Lindsay, Emma, Sasha, Kym, Artem
4. Simone and Sasha jive, Rashad and Emmas Finale Viennese Waltz, Nancy and Artems Samba
5. Lindsay, Emma, Sasha, honorable mention: Artem
6. A
7. less manipulation, keep Val and maks in check, judges need to actually judge and not push certain celebs so whatever happens happens. Last but not least more pro numbers less rehearsal manipulation videos
1. favorite couples – Rashad & Emma, Mr T. & Kym, David & Lindsay, Simone & Sasha ..in the beginning I was a fan of Bonner & Sharna but the more the season went on the more Bonner annoyed me.
2. From what they showed I feel like David or Rashad
3. Emma, Lindsay, Sharna, Artem
4. Rashad’sRumba, Bonner’s Viennese Waltz, Davids Waltz, Simone & Normanis Disney week and the boy band number
5. The question says season 23 I’m assuming it was a typo and meant 24 for Choreo throughout the season Emma & Artem everyone else had spurts of good choreo but nobody else delivered week after week
6. C. Something about this season annoyed me. The constant pimpage all season long of Normani (even though she didn’t win made me hate to watch them), the judges really irked me this season, I think some of the productions were too big and took away from the dancing, a lot of the song choices this season didn’t seem to flow with the selected dances
7. There were too many theme nights I got confused on whether they were supposed to be doing the theme or the dance (feel like the judges and dancers did too). Also stop with the productions being so extravagant I feel like half the time the lights were too bright and too much extra going on I couldn’t see the dances.
1. Who were your favorite 5 couples from Dancing With The Stars Season 24? Rashad and Emma, David and Lindsay, Nancy and Artem, Nick and Peta, Mr T and Kym
2. From all the celebrity contestants on Dancing With The Stars 24, who should win a Congeniality Award? David
3. My 5 favorite pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 24 were Emma, Lindsay, Artem, Gleb, and Peta.
4. From the couples dances, which were your most favorite THREE dances on Dancing With The Stars Season 24? You can name more if you can’t stop at three. Rashad and Emma’s cha cha, Rashad and Emma’s freestyle, David and Lindsay’s quickstep, Nancy and Artem’s samba, Nancy and Artem’s foxtrot
5. If you were to give a “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 23, who would they be? Emma, Artem, and Lindsay
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season? Solid C+. I would rate it lower because of the sheer predictability of some of the eliminations and for the manipulation toward certain couples, but based on the winner and how fantastic the aforementioned pros did with their partners this season, it would be a C+ for me.
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future? I still think that it is, for the most part, blatantly obvious that favoritism toward some couples from the judges is aggravating. If you are going to rave over a dance, point out specific reasons as to why you loved it, not just, “Oh, I loved that dance! It was fantastic, well done!” I wish and I hope that by the time season 25 starts, there won’t be any pure ringers, and that we will have more people like Hinch, Rashad, or Nyle- people who TPTB aren’t expecting much from, but can still kick some booty and make it far.

6-7: B – ;
– At the beginning, the season was very enjoyable. I am probably alone on this one but I like to have “ringers” on the show. Better dances technically are more entertaining in my opinion. Since Heather was eliminated the season started falling apart for me.
– I really wanted Simone to win because she was a bundle of joy. She was a great dancer and had amazing performances every single week
– Again I know I’m in the minority here but I would rather have a season full good dancers (Heather, Simone,…) instead of a season with celebrities who have slight chances making it far in the competition (Mr. T, Chris Kattan, etc.)
1. Who were your favorite 5 couples from Dancing With The Stars Season 24?
-Rashad and Emma, David and Lindsay, Bonner and Sharna (mostly because of Sharna), Nick and Peta, Nancy and Artem

4. From the couples dances, which were your most favorite THREE dances on Dancing With The Stars Season 24? You can name more if you can’t stop at three.
-Rashad’s Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, and Freestyle (pretty much all of them actually, lol)

5. If you were to give a “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 23, who would they be?

6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season?
-C
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
-No, and I think a lot of us haven’t been for a while. The constant manipulation and pimping is just way too obvious season after season. The judges are also extremely inconsistent with the way that they judge. This season in particular, there was a lot of unnecessary nitpicking that cost some of the most deserving couples the chance to stay in the competition. TPTB really need to read this site, so that they know that it’s not so “secret” what they are trying to do with this competition and the couples, and that everyone is pretty fed up with it. Len also either needs to get with the times or get the hell out. I understand that all judges need to consider proper technique and execution, but any hint of “something fresh and a new take” on the dance and he goes crazy. He’s scored many couples unfairly because of his TOO traditional ways. I think I’ve said this previously too but I also think the pros should tone it down on using the troupe in the dance. Just save it for one or two or the freestyle. I want to see the celeb, and whether it’s the pro’s intention or not, the celeb sometimes does get lost in the shuffle when the troupe is mixed in. Too much going on.
1. Season 24 Faves: Rashad + Emma, Nancy + Artem, Simone + Sasha, David + Lindsay, Nick + Peta
2. Congeniality Award: David Ross, for sure.
3. 5 Fave Pros: Emma, Lindsay, Artem, Peta, and Sasha
4. Top 3 dances: Rashad + Emma contemporary, Nancy + Artem Samba, and Rashad + Emma Viennese Waltz redemption.
5. Choreograph Award: Emma, Artem, and Lindsay.
6. Grade this season: B-
7. Satisfied/Improvements: Good God man stop the pimping! Of course, this is /so/ never going to happen, but if they could just make their obvious obsession with the C-bros and their partners that would be lovely. I would love to see the judges stop pushing the agenda and cut the bad acting when something “shocking” happens. It’s just distasteful and tacky. I would also like to see the immunity challenge tossed for good. It almost always works in the producers favor and I am not ok with that. I was satisfied this season because I think the audience really showed TPTB who was the boss. Rashad and David took the top 2 spots and I can only hope that TPTB understand that their future lies in the female pros. Can all female pros do what Lindsay did with David, what Emma did with Rashad or even what Sharna did with James last season? Absolutely not. And there are always going to be male celebs (and female celebs) who the audiences don’t connect with and are awful dancers, no matter what. However, Lindsay has only missed the finale one time in her most recent seasons as a pro and that speaks volumes about her abilities. Sharna has also made the finals a few times (yes, once with Nick who was a ringer). Emma was given a celeb who wasn’t an obvious early out and look what she did! I hope that TPTB realize that these women (and maybe even some of the troupe women) could propel this show to a different place if they were just left to their own devices (/end rant). I would also like to see the pros choreograph the pro numbers, because I thought Witney did a stellar job with the female pro number and would love to see more things like that vs the Mandy Moore bump and grind we usually get.
1. Emma and Rashad, David and Lindsay, Simone and Sasha, Nancy and Artem, Nick and Peta
2. David Ross!
3. Fave Pros: Emma, Lindsay, Sharna, Artem, Sasha
4. Fave Dances: Simone’s Moana Dance, Rashad’s Contemporary, David’s Magic Mike (cracked me up!)
5. Choreo award: Emma, Lindsay, Artem
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season? If Normani had won it would have been a D but since the person I was rooting for won I would give it a C+
7. To be honest I almost gave up watching the show because the producers handiwork in getting a particular narrative out of the show was so clear. In the past you could see it, but this year it was so obvious that even my husband who is a more casual watcher of the show then I am noticed it. If the producers want to make this show better go back to the way it was in seasons past. Have the couples dance from one of the same 2 dances each week so you can compare them to one another and better determine who is better…and STOP MESSING WITH THINGS!

6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season?
– I’d give it a “D” … until the final 10 minutes of the season, when they announced Normani in 3rd place. At that point, it became an “A+.”
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
-Definitely not satisfied. Waaaaay too much manipulation & pimping of Val & Normani. I can make up my own mind … don’t need the producers &/or judges telling me who I should be voting for!! The judges also need to be more consistent & not so obviously score their favorite contestants higher, then knock points off someone else for doing the same thing. I also HATE the immunity challenge!
Thanks to all the mods for another fun season!
5 Favorite Couples : Nancy and Artem, Rashad and Emma, Heather and Alan,
Mr. T and Kym, Simone and Sasha
Congeniality Award – Rashad
5 Favorite Pros: Artem, Emma, Allan, Kym, Lindsay
5 Favorite Dances: Nancy’s Samba, Nancy’s Tango, Rashad Contemporary, Rashad Viennese Waltz and sequel. Rashad Freestyle
Choreographer’s Award to Artem, Emma, Lindsay
Overall the season was a B would have been an A if Nancy made the finals.
The show is pretty much the same as it ever was. Really should stop with the overhyping of young singers, and baseball players. One was pimping a small fanbase the other was over heating a big fanbase with mediocre representatives of each.
1. Who were your favorite 5 couples from Dancing With The Stars Season 24?
a) Simone & Sasha b) Rashad & Emma, c) Nancy & Artem,
d) David & Lindsay (only had these four)

*David*

5. If you were to give a “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 23, who would they be?
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season? C (manipulation WAY OTT)
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show?
NO If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
*Give each celeb equal recognition, stop with the manipulation of showing favor to certain one (s), and get some proper music to the songs. I want to listen to Latin style music to a Latin Style Dance. In other words, get back to the basics of what DWTS started out to be including the idea of a celeb growing from week one and improving with progress throughout their journey. Most of all, the JUDGES need to stop with the personal attacks on certain celebs/Pros. It’s not the kind of drama viewers want to watch.
Whoops!!! Missed No. 5 Answer: Lindsay, Emma, Sasha

7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
No, I am definitely not satisfied! DWTS use to fill me with joy and now I just get aggravated. Since those above captured a lot of my problems with the show, I’ll add some others:
Somebody learn how to time the show and realize maybe you have to scrap some plans.
The ending was horrendous. So little time for the champs to celebrate. Cut some fluff and worry about if you are going to run short. You can always interview longer. When TPTB saw how tight it was, why didn’t they choose between staying inside or just go outside for the announcement? Cut the long pause to announce the winner. I felt so bad for Rashad and Emma. After announcing they won, usually Tom makes a bigger deal about presenting the MBT. This time it felt like “here hold this”, we gotta go!
Also, there should ONLY be ballroom or latin dances after week 6. No contemporaries. No jazz. Only dances with clear rules to avoid some couples getting an easier chance at good scores. And cut the themes and no immunity challenges or dance offs.
Tired of the obvious ringers. If you have studied any kind of dance since you were young, or qualified to be on SYTYCD, or your tax return lists your occupation as professional dancer, NO! If you are an actor or singer who learned some dance to backup your real profession, OK. And as for the whole “ballroom is different” spiel, aren’t there some pros or dancers in the troupe that never studied ballroom and yet they are doing just fine picking it up. I think the public just schooled TPTB that they want to see “stars” with no prior dance training.
There is manipulation by TPTB with the music. Give great songs with matching dance styles to their pimpees and give harder match-ups to the couples they are trying to trip up. Yes, TPTB, we notice things like that. Since music needs legal clearance, how about letting the pros choose the style of dance.
The judges need to take a long hard look at themselves. No one is tuning into the show to see the judges. They are irrelevant except they are paid way too much to lose their integrity by following TPTB script.
Let the pros choreograph the pro numbers. So tired of bump and grind Mandy. Some numbers looked too hectic, like let’s cram everything into these couple of minutes. These pro dancers studied long to perfect their craft and to be reduced to slithering around on the stage is a slap in the face to their abilities. That mens’ number in the finale was awful.
The other problem is that these rants are music to TPTB ears. They really don’t care if they are positive or negative. As long as there is buzz, they feel people will still tune in and cheer or complain.
“stop the overhyping of…baseball players”??? You do realize that David was the FIRST baseball player to compete, right? I don’t agree he was “overhyped” either. Sour grapes.

5. If you were to give a “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 23, who would they be?
Emma Lindsay Sasha Artem
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season?
D for the manipulation and ridiculous judging
B for the efforts of the cast and the final results
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
Stop the manipulation. Get back to it being about the STARS rather than making certain pros “happen”
My 5 favorite couples were Simone, Rashad, Nancy, David, and Nick.
For me, the congeniality award goes to David
My 5 favorite pros from season 24 were Emma, Lindsay, Sasha, Artem and Pets.
My 3 favorite dances were Simone’s Charleston, Rashad’s freestyle, Rashad’s contemporary, and I have a 4th: Simone’s contemporary. My 5th would probably be the freestyle we never got to see from Simone.
Choreography award, as far as I’m concerned, goes to Emma, Lindsay, and it’s a toss up between Sasha and At ten.
I would give this season a D. The only thing saving it from getting an F is the fact that one of my favorites, Rashad, actually won.
Hell no, I’m not satisfied with the direction of the show. Get rid of the producers, get rid of ALL of the judges, save for Bruno, or let another network buy it out.
Oh, and another thing I forgot, no more PROFESSIONAL dancers1 like Heather1

D- because of the manipulation(if you’re going to manipulate it hide it better)…. And because a PRO dancer is not a STAR……
B+ because most of the viewers did not go for the bait and voted for who they wanted to win, not TPTB… They saw the manipulation and foiled the agenda!
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
If the show is going to continue to be blatantly manipulated then I will never be satisfied with the show again. Let the viewers actually choose who goes home each week, don’t protect your pros that can’t choreograph for their partners…. Let the dancing and the actual partnerships(not the manipulated packages) speak for themselves. And the themed weeks are getting old…. I do like Disney Week and Most Memorable Year, but we’re getting out of hand otherwise. I do think a change in judges needs to happen because they’re stuck in their same ruts, except for Bruno maybe. I could go on for hours….

Before I start, I want to give a huge thank you to the Pure mods for giving me a space to enjoy DWTS & related discourse without it being a Normani gush-fest or an attack-area full of Harmonizers telling me to get hit by a car or calling me a “wh—e” or various racial slurs.
Your balanced, accurate analyses were a breath of fresh air. DWTS used to bring me so much joy every Monday. I haven’t gotten that feeling fully from a season really since Season 18 but it got better in 21 and then went away again. This season became downright stressful many times throughout the whole week, which is a first for me. So in short: Thank you SO MUCH!!
1. Who were your favorite 5 couples from Dancing With The Stars Season 24?
-Rashad & Emma
-Simone & Sasha
-Nancy and Artem
-David and Lindsay
-Nick and Peta
Honestly, I loved this cast as a whole together besides Normani; this group was such a wasted opportunity by TPTB. Could’ve had one of the funniest, most dynamic seasons also full of awesome performances.
2. From all the celebrity contestants on Dancing With The Stars 24, who should win a Congeniality Award?
David & Rashad. Honorable mention: probably Nick or Nancy
3. My 5 favorite pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 24 were __________________________.
EMMA <3
Sasha (poor guy)
Artem (poor guy)
Linsday
Peta (humility looked good on her; she should try it more often)
4. From the couples dances, which were your most favorite THREE dances on Dancing With The Stars Season 24? You can name more if you can’t stop at three.
-1st: Simone/Sasha's Charleston
-2nd: Nancy and Artem's Samba
-3rd: Nancy and Artem's tango
Best by style:
-quickstep: David (performance outweighed Simone's, which had the best technique); would have LOVED to see Nancy or Heather do a proper quickstep.
-VW: Rashad's part 2 & part 1
-Cha-cha: Simone's & Rashad's
-Salsa: Normani's for performance; David's on principle & for concept
-Tango: Nancy's Pretty Woman and Rashad's Four Tops
-Foxtrot: Rashad's Evermore one and Simone's One Directoin one (Normani's is a jazz)
-Paso doble: Nancy's Free Your Mind one
-Jive: Rashad's Tail Feather one
-Jazz: Normani's foxtrot
-Charleston: Simone's silent film <3
-Samba: Nancy's Ricky Martin one by miles
-Rumba: Rashad's & Heather's Waterfalls one
-Contemporary: Simone's Moana one
-Argentine Tango: Normani's foreign film one & Rashad's trio
-Freestyle: David's
-Fusion: Rashad's
Best by week
-1st week: Simone's tango & David's quickstep (omg I loved this dance so much; so glad to see it getting the well-deserved love on this page)
-2nd week: Rashad & Emma's VW part 1 (SO much better than Normani's equally scored cha-cha)
-Vegas: Nancy's samba & Heather's tango
-MMY: Simone's VW
-Disney: Simone's contemporary, Rashad's foxtrot (LOVED this – so underrated), Nancy's jazz
-Ugh Bands: Heather's rumba & Team Boyband by far (HM: Rashad's tango)
-Movies: Simone's charleston & Nancy's tango <3
-Quarterfinals solo: David's waltz for emotion but Simone's foxtrot was flawless (I hated Normani's flaily contemporary; so overrated)
-Trios: Rashad/Emma/Witney's Argentine Tango
-Redemption: Rashad's VW part 2
-Freestyle: David's (surprisingly! I'm not even a baseball fan myself.)
-Fusion: Rashad's cha-cha/tango
5. If you were to give a “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 23, who would they be?
-Emma (consistently amazing work; never had a bad week. I loved EVERY dance – even the samba and foxtrot that were grossly under-scored)
-Lindsay (deserves all the awards – she made a "sci-fi salsa" done by a non-dancer super fun instead of uncomfortable to watch)
-Artem (stunning, underrated work with Nancy this season)
-Sasha (so underrated this season as well; gave us exciting routines that showcased his partner's talents well while still maintaining INTEGRITY to ballroom – unlike Val)
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season?
-Final results: A
(would be an A+ is Simone was in the finals and Normani & Val weren't cast)
-Overall F- for the over-pimpage of Normani; shaming Simone Biles for her innocence instead of celebrating her as a human being; eliminating Nancy too early; wasting an amazing cast (besides Normani) of celebrities; Bonner staying over Nick…the list goes on.
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
-Not satisfied with the direction of the show
-Stop all the manipulation; especially "shocking" eliminations of some of the kindest, gentlest celebrities of the spring seasons (ala Ralph, Charlie, Nastia, Wanya, and Simone). TPTB have screwed over my favorite literally every time they've done this.
-Fire the C-bros & stop over-rating Peta (Or at least give her credit for choreography and strength & not just for being beautiful & engaged to Maks). It was refreshing to not have her get preferential treatment over the other female pros this season.
-Give Sharna, Lindsay, Emma, Sasha, Artem the recognition & fair chance they deserve.
-Make Brittany Cherry a pro; she strikes me as more professional and mature than Jenna or Alan. And she can supposedly choreograph as well (I haven't seen evidence though, I'll admit that for accuracy's sake).
-Have the pros choreograph the group/pro numbers so that there's more true ballroom formations.
-Stop condemning people (like Simone) for not being hyper-sexual. It's a breath of fresh air to many who relate to her focus & positivity.
Thanks again mods, I'm sorry if the post is too long!
Sorry, I am not a baseball fan, and I didn’t think David was any great guy. Did he find the cure for cancer? Did he do anything special besides being a big fish in a small pond in his privileged life? He is a catcher, but not an overly decorated one. In his retirement he is now with the front office in promotions. This is a big reason why MLB even put a player on the show. He is a regular guy who danced poorly, even after he was corrected he still danced bad, so I didn’t find anything about him particularly special. But the overhype in using the Chicago Cubs logo- in his first and last dances, more than once in the season was putting MLB promotion in overdrive. And it was fan overhype when showing the jumbotron of Dave dancing during a game at Wriggly field so they could stop and vote and not watch the show. And even more overhype when he skyped his teamates.
As for the NFL, well Hines wasn’t allowed to use the Steelers logo, maybe Donald got a logo in his freestyle. Emmitt had no Cowboys promotion at all. Rashad of course got a mention he played for the Giants. No team colors, and definitely little promotion.
Ok Casanova, that’s your opinion. But maybe try not to sh*t all over everyone else that actually did like David…and maybe don’t state your personal opinion as fact.
The season’s over. Let it GO.

5. If you were to give a “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 23, who would they be? Emma, Lindsay and Sasha
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season? D. Tired of there OTT pimping of Val and whomever he happens to be paired with.
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
No. I don’t like that they had three major ringers and all of them were females, yet two males with ZERO dance experience placed first and second.
1. Fave 5 couples: Mr. T & Kym, Rashad & Emma, David & Lindsay, Nancy & Artem, and Sharna & Bonner,
2. Congeniality Award: Nancy – she went through so much awfulness but her smile always shined like a beauty queen’s,
3. Fave 5 Pros: Emma, Artem, Sharna, Kym, and Witney. Witney surprised me this season – her choreography for the ladies put their confidence on display instead of just their boobs (I like boobs but am so. tired. of. Mandy.)
4. Fave 3 dances: 1st: Rashad and Emma’s Viennese Waltz, 2nd: Nancy and Artem’s Samba, 3rd: David and Lindsay’s Salsa,
5. 3 “Choreograph Award” Designees: Sharna, Artem, Emma,
6. Grade season 24: D+ because this ship is sinking and Ray Chew Live is like the Titanic Band.
Reminds me of when Jack Donaghey on 30 Rock was trying to tank the fictional network he was running, with shows like “America’s Kidz Got Singing.” “DWTS Jr” is same exact thing as “America’s Kidz Got Singing.” Truth is stranger than fiction,
7. I’ll watch DWTS in Fall if it is not a total sh!tshow, but I already have no love for DWTS Jr.
DWTS’ stardust is fading but I am glad to see dance is still celebrated on TV, with great shows like World of Dance taking root.

2- Emma
3- Artem
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season?
B- Hated the manipulation. Bot there were great personalities: Nancy, Rashad, David, Nick, Mr. T. Also loved how it all began with the girl ringers and at the end the men imposed themselves!
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
Stop the manipulation.
Stop giving the pros the same type of partner each season (specially Sharna, Val, Kym).
Change the judges table or control the ones you have. No reason for them to bee rude or disrespectful to any celebrity.
1. Rashad & Emma
Nancy & Artem
Simone & Sasha
Normani & Val
either Mr. T & Kym or David & Lindsay
2. I’ll go with Nancy but it’s pretty much a toss-up between the majority of the cast (Bonner seemed like a creep to me and Charo was fun but a little too wild at times! Lol)
3. Emma
Lindsay
Kym
Sasha
and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but…Artem
4. Heather’s Rumba
Simone’s Charleston/Contemp/VW
Rashad’s FS/ Redo VW/Rumba/Contemp David’s Freestyle
Normani’s Jazz/Argentine Tango/Paso Nancy’s Samba
5. Emma, Artem, and Alan for the few dances he came up with for Heather (Lindsay, Sasha, and Witney also did a great job choreographing to the abilities of the celebs they were given, and I loved the Finale number Witney came up with.)
6. C- for reasons stated below
7. I wasn’t happy with the tone of this season. It felt very negative for the most part. We were trying to figure out what was missing on Twitter and came up with the sentiment that it felt like the humor and fun were just sucked out of the show until the last week (the Finale was one of the best we’ve seen in years with a lot of fun footage so I don’t see why they were holding out on us the whole time ?). I don’t like it when they push for certain couples to get to a certain point in the competition, even though I liked watching Normani. Also the judging was way out of whack this season but I’m pretty sure that was part of the manipulation thing.
I guess things can be improved by casting more non-ringers with potential, focusing more on being enjoyable than dramatic, and bringing back All Acces so we can get to know the couples better!

I think they need re-evaluate the criteria of casting the “Stars”. They need more Nancy Kerrigan, Rashad Jennings, David Ross types, who were so thrilled to be there, had good athletic abilities and little or no dance experience, who had good back stories, partnered well with their Pro and showed genuine improvement each week. They also need to take care in casting people like Bonner and Chris. Toward the end of Bonner’s time, the pain and toll on his body did not make it fun for him.
They need to improve the music selections (I mean Sci-Fi Salsa???). It would be wonderful if there were better match ups with the music to the dance style. This season, some of the selections were just too weird. I would like to see the Contemporary and perhaps Jazz be removed for the dance styles, at least until the last two weeks. While there have been some very good Contemporary dances, most of them seem to be just artistic flailing with no rhyme or reason to the movements.The unstructured nature of the Jazz may provide an unfair advantage to one particular couple at a specific point in the competition.
I would like to see better comments from the judges. “You have to work on your feet” doesn’t really say much to the Star. Wouldn’t it be cool if each week there was a small section of time like the Judges Challenge (like 15 minutes or so) Where they discussed to comments and provided tips for improvement.It seems as if the “manipulation” is more obvious lately ( whether intentional or not). Let it just organically progress!
Finally, what really drives me crazy is at the end of the shows, when there is an elimination, the couple has 4 seconds at the end of the show. It would be nice to let them have a couple minutes at least to say their piece, answer a couple questions and take their bow to the audience. The same holds true to the winners, it was soooo rushed, no one got to say anything this year.
1. Favorite 5 couples- Rashad/Emma, Simone/Sasha, Nancy/Artem, David/Lindsay, Mr. T/Kym.
2. Congeniality Award? From what I heard, Mr. T.
3. 5 favorite pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 24 were Emma, Lindsay, Artem, Kym and Sasha.
4. Favorite dances on Dancing With The Stars Season 24?
Rashad’s most everything but especially Contemporary and VW parts 1&2
Simone’s Contemporary and her horribly underrated Charleston
All of Nancy and Artem’s dances
David and Lindsay’s freestyle and father/daughter VW
5. “Choreograph Award” to THREE pros on Dancing With The Stars Season 24 – Emma, Lindsay, Sasha with honorable mentions to Artem for traditional and Kym for making the most of a difficult situation.
6. From an “A” to an “F”, how would you grade the season? D. Only a few celebs saved this turd of a season! More below.
7. Are you satisfied with the direction of the show? If not, how can ‘the powers that be’ improve Dancing With The Stars in the future?
I try to understand that TV is a big business and that it’s felt that the show “needs” certain things to be a success. But the manipulations are WAY out of hand, especially last season. I was especially bothered by that very hinky immunity week that was only announced AFTER the producers knew who would be going home if they didn’t use that tool. And “smile gate” was despicable on so many levels! Even Tom admitted that he was wrong to pile on but he called out the voice in his ear prompting him to do so……..
I still can’t get over the interview where the producers claim that they “change up” which type of celebs go to which pros! So why does Val ALWAYS get an able bodied, young woman with a fanbase and previous dance experience? Why does Artem always get a middle aged/older woman? Sharna has had 3 guys already who have defied death but who have devastating injuries! Seemingly, both Emma and Artem lucked out with partners who had slightly more hope than their usual. And look how that turned out! Happy, fulfilled pros turning out their best work yet and audience members excited to see what they could turn out with “contenders.” Spread out the hopeful celebs more and let some of the usual suspects be challenged for a change too.
The judges were sooooooooooo bad this season. I can’t help but wonder if it had something to do with the newest producers. Len was WAY out of line. He shouldn’t be allowed to mark performances “cheaply” because he doesn’t want the style, like contemporary or because he doesn’t like the music. Both are assigned and out of the team’s control. The same goes for the nastiness to Bonner, outright telling him on National TV that he had outstayed his welcome. And more subtly, EVERYONE’s over the top and ridiculous reactions to certain eliminations. It couldn’t be more obvious or hurtful to those who were still in the game. If the judges are going to be stingy to one couple vs. another, they need to be specific about what was wrong/right and why it affected the scores.
