Dancing with the Stars Season 27, Week TWO – LIVE BLOG!
Well. Sore throat? Check. Tiredness? Check. :::sigh::: It’s as if I’m being punished for taking a vacation. This show better be good tonight, if I’m going to stay out of bed. 🙂
T-minus ten minutes….
New York City Night :::rolls eyes:::
The need to open with Val I will never understand. Of course, they’re also sucking up to the shippers who are just too easy, fawning over both Val/Jenna and Emma/Sasha…
Hey, who are these tappers….and why is Val there too?? Give it a rest. Ain’t nothing there I want to see. Tiler Peck, I believe is the ballerina?? Didn’t I see where she was going to be on the show?
Here we go with DeMarcus!! Love that smile! “Chocolate piece of steel…” LOL
He looks a bit stiff by himself at the start, but he looks pretty lovely in hold with Lindsay. This is not really a great style for him, at all, but he does a credible job.
Agree with Len who compliments his feet, and he also says he’s better tonight. Bruno is a bit carried away with his comments, no surprise.
He gets a 24 from the judges and I ain’t mad about it. Works for me. Maybe one 7 in there.
Hey Mark!! This show could sure use you and your bro back on the dance floor. 🙁 Good job on Kinky Boots though – not my favorite musical, but I enjoyed it. He rocks the boots quite well.
Danelle and Artem up next and I have to say she breaks my heart a tiny bit. So damn likable…and I love puppies. 🙂
Oh dang, and this song was featured in Derek’s show that he did at Radio City….sigh. Determined to make me miss Mark and Derek tonight, eh DWTS???
Danelle struggled a bit with that dance. I read on Artem’s feed that she’s sick and the lack of rehearsal showed a bit. She was a bit stiff and uncertain.
Good comment Bruno – he’s paying her respect, and he’s right that when she started wrong she recovered. Well done. She didn’t fall apart. CAI says she notices radiance and confidence – I agree with that as well. I also agree with the props to Artem – he seems to be rising to the challenge. Len calls it a competent performance. I like that they’re going easy on her – does no good to be dicks like they were somewhat last week.
And she gets an 18 out of 30 – I would agree with that as well.
John is up next and he’s still handsome. 😀 Charleston…and he’s a guy who’s done musicals. With people dancing around him. 🙂
Love the outfit. Kicks with pointed toes!! Love Emma’s choreo – very clever. Not a ton of charleston but it seemed to really suit him.
Agree with CAI – It was quite polished. Well done. Len says he’s on the right track, great improvement from last week. Do agree when he says he would have liked more Charleston. Bruno calls it a mini-musical, first class ride.
And he gets a 23!! I think that was well deserved!
Forty minutes in and only 3 people have danced?? Come on, peeps.
Nancy and Val up next. Cha cha to Uptown Girl and I think Derek/Jennie. 🙂 Can’t help it.
The comparison ends there, of course, but Nancy does a pretty dang good job with that Cha Cha!! She’s determined not to let her foot get her down.
Len says she looked confident and better than last week. Thinks she had a little mistake, but it was nice well done. Bruno like her attitude as well, likes the dance, noted that she went slightly wrong but kept going. CAI says she started tentative but then opened up, thought she did great.
I’ll say it again that Val seems…lighter, more normal, not his typical preachy, over bearing self. Thank you, Jenna. 😉
Nancy scores a 21 and I can’t argue too much with that.
Love Tom in his easy chair while he gives Jordan and Frankie a shot at his job. Weirdness – Frankie and Jordan look really good together as a hosting team!! I’m surprised!
Alexis is up next with Alan and…she is stunning. A rockin’ bod and she seems pretty down to earth. She’s a Tiler Peck fan!! I bet she’s loving it tonight then. She reminds me a bit of Shannon Elizabeth without the baggage.
Wait, she missed a step after a strong start. I’m not sure what this style is, I confess, but she’s doing a great job. AT?? Started out looking like a ballet piece. Amazing long legs. Pretty good job.
Bruno says she’s “prima argentina” – so it was an AT. CAI is incoherent – did not understand what she said. Outfit and lifts not so great but the rest was stunning. Len was worried about the ballet start but calls it the best dance so far this season. I will have to watch it again to see if that is hyperbole or not.
And she gets a 9 from Len!! A total score of 25 – my initial impression was that it was beautiful but I definitely saw a mis-step. I’m going to have to watch it again.
Joe and Jenna up next and I’m shocked it took till the second week to pull Kendall into rehearsal.
Jenna’s dress is gorgeous. Love this song – one hour in and we’re on Billy Joel song number two. LIFT!! But Joe is handling this dance much better than he did his first one. Loved the NYC graphic in the background!! He did a decent job!
CAI notes that he’s the only contestant with no performance experience. She sees a big transformation from last week, she points out the lift. Len says they went straight into the dance, last week a caterpillar this week a butterfly. Bruno says he’s lovable and endearing, says he hit some nice lines – I agree. He did well. Bruno offers to help him.
Joe does have this bashful smile that is quite endearing. He gets a 17 which would have been an 18 if not for the lift. Big improvement from last week, but unfortunately for him everyone is scoring higher than last week. I’m going to have to watch it again, but he might even have been underscored relative to Nancy and Danelle.
Tinashe is up next with an Argentine Tango. Oh boy, some of these tricks…
Pull the booty in girl…but dang, she is great . Flawless first trick. Well done. This song sucks for an AT, in that it doesn’t have an AT feel at all. I think I would have dressed her differently to give it more of an AT vibe. But she is an excellent dancer and I didn’t see any flaws.
Len says the lifts were spectacular, but talks to Brandon in that you can go too far from the heart of the dance and this dance lacked some AT flavor – totally agree. He does say that she is an excellent dancer. Bruno goes a bit nutty with Barbarella references and Lady Gaga reference. He says all her lines were there and the lifts and extensions were there. Agree with that as well. CAI is incomprehensible a bit, but says she nailed ever picture and is the bomb.
Tinashe scores nines from CAI and Bruno with an 8 from Len – I would agree with that score.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson handing out pretzels?? LOL.
Milo up next with a Charleston. Dude is way too young to be having trouble with this dance.
Milo is so tall and gangly but he manages to do a great job not being too small. Good choreo from Witney although the tricks weren’t as complicated as Brandon’s – great job!! Loved that dance but it made me tired. 🙂
Bruno says it was exhilarating, and bursting with excitement. Says the control on his legs tonight was fantastic. CAI says it’s week 2 and it’s ridiculously so good. She’s blown out of the water. Len says there was a lot of Lindy and Charleston, a lot of energy. He says the cast is fantastic this year. I would agree. The whole cast so far is doing great getting past the week 1 “everyone’s good” deal.
Milo is CUTE. That is all.
And he pulls two nines from CAI and Bruno with an 8 from Len. Good deal! Can’t argue too much with that.
Hahaha…GMA crew pretending they are live with DWTS yet the windows outside show it’s daytime. I’m a time zone behind them and it’s dark as hell outside. 😀
Up next are Mary Lou and Sasha with a waltz. If you have to a chance to see the musical Beautiful, do it. I loved it. And they get the lead singing Natural Woman while they dance.
Mary lou is going a great job so far, no mis-steps, very graceful…love the dress. 🙂 I don’t like that they ended the dance by giving it up to the singer. That’s a bit unfortunate and seems like a missed opportunity.
CAI says the song is an anthem and says that ML let go in the middle of the dance and was very natural, she opened her heart. Agreed. Len says it was a lovely natural performance, very well done. But watch your shoulders. 😉 Bruno says it was beautiful and inspired. She let herself go with the flow, embracing the music…but be careful to not lose her neck. 🙂
ML does look lovely tonight and you could tell she was having fun and that she felt good. She scores a 22 out of 30…I think I would have given her another 8.
Okay Cheryl has some weird panels on her dress….I guess we’ll see what’s up with that in a minute. 🙂
Juan Pablo is next with a Quickstep…Cheryl says JP doesn’t like rules. 🙂
A tiny stumble in the middle…very tiny. Other than that, excellent job, from what I could see. But I was too distracted by the overly dark panels on Cheryl’s dress.
Len says it was joyful, full of energy but he needs to work on his frame. Needs more finesse. Bruno says it was a smash hit, very satisfying. CAI is babbling, says this is one of her new favorite quicksteps, and it was really good.
He’s the first, I think, to get no Erin time…and he gets a 26 out of 30. I dunno, I don’t feel as enthused about that score as I have about the others. Can’t put my finger on why….
Evanna up next with a Samba…flashing back to Len’s BS comment.
Putting the challenge to Len is never a good idea. They’re doing a fashion week Samba. Again, another dance that looks on the surface nothing like it should to please Len. She’s going a good job with the dance though, I think. She kind of alternates between totally into it and not so much…
Bruno says there’s a little devil in there and he loves it. CAI says watch out, Evanna is coming for you, had a lot of core power, and that it was fierce. Len says she had a bit of Harry Potter magic in there, he thought it was terrific. I think that’s a tiny bit overhyped. I love Evanna but I think she was a bit let down by the choreo.
And she scores a 24 – I think I agree with that!
I thought World of Dance was bad with the commercials, but DWTS is far worse. We’re getting ONE dance with package between commercials. And at this point I just want to go to bed.
Oh, now we have Kelly and Ryan introducing Bobby Bones? Okay. Kinda dig Sharna’s hat with that bob haircut.
Oh man, the iconic New York New York. He’s a little ahead of Sharna, and needs to calm down a bit. Frame needs a bit of work, but he sure is having fun. Some very obvious counting in the middle. Shit. Love the bit of him dancing at the end and I think that was totally unscripted, judging by Sharna’s reaction. 😀
CAI is confused, and Sharna says the end was all him. CAI says he’s joyous when he dances and it’s contagious. Len – youthful exuberance, but not the most elegant foxtrot he’s ever seen. Bruno says it was brilliantly bonkers. They are correct, the technique wasn’t there but he is loving life and that is contagious.
He gets a 20 out of 30 which isn’t too bad. I don’t think I would argue with it.
Erin confirms that the couple with the lowest combined total of the scores of both nights and tonights votes will go home. We have intel that says it’s a double elimination – we’ll see. Because of how many dang acts they have scheduled for tomorrow and the way they were flying by the seat of their pants last week, we’ll see if that comes true. They barely made it through 12 couples dancing tonight – how are they going to do that tomorrow with two musical acts plus special appearance by Celine Dion and…someone else….
Thoughts??
I won’t really be able to watch live (I work at a hotel so the TV is on to ABC but isn’t the same watching at home), so I’m looking forward to following along. As I mentioned before, curious if last week’s bottom 6 will be the couples that go home this week or not!
Unlike last week, I actually loved DeMarcus. That was just adorable and fun and so well done. I’d give that a 8 as well. Costumes were a bit iffy for me though.
Omg loving that cute moment between Sasha and Evanna, during DeMarcus’s interview with Erin! Looks like he tried to prank her, but she got him better! ????
Mark! Yes! He is so very missed this season for me. Danielle……I love her. But I didn’t love this dance. It ended well but you can tell this week was rough for her. Still love her though. I’d give that a 6
Ugh I just can’t with them shoving Val and Jenna in my face! I actually enjoyed the opening number but it was like the camera constantly friggin pointed to them????
I LOVED DeMarcus and Lindsay’s foxtrot!! Very suave and debonair, great frame and I loved the backdrop and their song:) Well-deserved scores!
I give Danelle so much credit for going out there and trying and I give Artem credit for being so patient with her:)
I’m totally a Sasha/Emma shipper (though I refuse to refer to them as Esha-I do not get into cutesy names with couples).
I so miss Mark and I really wish he could have gotten one final win with Lindsay. I won’t lie, I was kind of glad Derek left but the break has also made me miss him and his choreography. Similar to some of the other OG pros, once they’ve been gone for awhile I really realize how this show has kind of slipped in quality. No offense to our current pros who are great, but nothing will beat the early years in terms of dances for me.
I love gma 🙂 John makes me smile and it really makes me sad to say that I really wasn’t feeling that routine. Just a little too cheesy for my liking but it was danced really well. Since I’m going to focus on the dance steps instead of the cheesy I’m going to say I would give that a 7
So happy to hear John and Emma did well! Here’s hoping they make it another week.
I love Nancy and her chill vibe. This was a fun dance but at the same time I didn’t love it becuase I don’t think it was great choreography. He could have thrown so much more in there to make it stand out. Basically, I am saying val didn’t live up to my expectations this week. I’d give that a 7.
WOW Jon Schneider just blew me away! Very impressed! Maybe Len was right in that it didn’t depict your typical 20’s Charleston look/feel-this dance had a more broadway vibe to it but I loved it!
Ok so Nancy danced a standard ballroom cyllabus Cha Cha-it was cute and I do applaud her for still dancing with an injury-I’m wondering if that’s why she has low heel Latin shoes on????? Maybe cause of the fracture….
Frankie and Jordan 🙂 such cool guys. Also slightly hysterical that as soon as Frankie was on camera my friends immediately bombarded me with gifs of him so Sunday’s are going to be fun. Alexis seems so much more at ease this week….argentine tango brought out her excitement and I love it. The dance reminded me of something Derek would choreograph. I’d give this a 9 easily. This is a game changer in my opinion. A major game changer.
Vin: I think Alexis’s dance is proof—as if we needed it—that while this may not be the best cast they’ve ever had, it’s probably the cast with the highest floor (with the *possible* exception of Joe, and even there it seems like he just got lost in the middle; I don’t think he lacks the ability).
I seriously hate when Len (or any of the judges) says ‘best dance of the season’ on week 2.
I did get to see their dance. I was a little nervous at first that they were going to get hosed by the song choice and costumes, but I was very impressed. I hope Alexis can rebound in votes. Her and Alan are a very enjoyable pair, and I really would love to see him do well this season. They looked so disappointed last week, but determined.
People keep trying to tag Alan with the Derek label and I’m sorry, I just don’t see it. Alan is doing a fine job, but Derek?? Not yet.
Alexis does give me Brooke Burke vibes though. But it’s only week two – she has a ways to go and Alan doesn’t have Derek’s fanbase to carry them past larger fanbases. She could make the finale though, if she keeps it up.
Alexis looked absolutely stunning! The start of the dance was so beautiful and that dang malfunction! Still a really pretty dance
That was beautiful from Alexis & Alan. But the 9 paddle from Len makes me think they were on a mission to overscore them a little (if what they did was worthy of it, which it absolutely was) to try and save them from the Double Elimination coming tomorrow night. I hope it works, because to lose a dancer of Alexis’s caliber in week two when we are going to have to suffer through mediocre-ness coming from many other corners…would be really sad.
Yeah, a big protection job done on Alexis tonight. They know that she’s not got the votes so needs high scores to stay clear of danger. Especially when you consider Joe managed to pass her last week.
I would’ve like to seen some more Argentine tango steps and the close body contact of the AT but I get Alan wanting to incorporate the ballet b/c of the song. I, actually, don’t think I would’ve given them a 9-but that’s me personally….
Oh Bruno jeez LOL I think it might be safe to say that dance-wise, Joe could be most improved tonight but I’m not crazy about his attitude???? He just seems blah to me-certainly not lovable in my book lol I find it interesting that, even with a little improvement, he was still scored low….
I still don’t see the appeal with Joe, but I think he lucked out with the dance style. I’m sure he’s safe tomorrow.
That last lift in Tinashe’s AT had me worried… and woah! Wait a minute, idk if I’m the only one who is gonna heavily disagree with Len, but I thought Tinashe’s AT was more proper than Alexis’s (her’s was to soft imo).
I have to disagree with Len here-if you know anything about NYC, then you know about the club scene in our city LOL And given the song they were given, Brandon choreographed a really good Argentine tango that fit the team and had enough steps to qualify as an AT. Sorry Len lol
@M8: Agreed; if he can overcome being 4+ points below almost everyone to finish in the top half, he’s probably not going anywhere this week, either.
Tinashe pulling in two 9s, so I guess she’ll be safe this week, too.
@Kara – with the 9’s already coming out tonight and with Joe getting a 5 – I don’t think that’ll be enough to save him with a double elimination.
I loved Alexis’ AT. Had it not been for that wardrobe mishap, I see another 9 coming their way. I’ll say – the semi finals is going to be one heck of a race. It’s going to be a good one.
Completely agreed on joes score. Improved but not by much. Tinashe….I’m loving that routine. That was very slick and creative. I’d give that a 9
Who was the blonde tap dancing in the intro with Keo? He didn’t look like any of the pros, so likely a troupe member.
Brandon threw Tinashe like a rag doll, just like so effortlessly lol but it was a great dance. Probably my favorite of the night so far.
Milo is a giant ball of energy. It’s scary. The routine was amazing though and my fav of the night thus far besides tinashe and Alexis. I’d give that a 9 easily. Only minor complaint I had is this: that was not long enough 🙂
@Susan, I don’t know, Joe wasn’t even bottom 6 last week. Between him and Jenna’s popularity it’s hard to say. I just get the impression he doesn’t even want to be there.
I am intrigued by who will be in trouble tomorrow. Not sure if they are doing a live vote during the telecast or not, but right now I think Danielle could be in trouble. She went second tonight, was bottom 5 last week, didn’t have a high score…so far I’m at a loss lol
Only Witney can bring a hip hop feel to a Charleston dance LOL The kid is a teenager-He’s still growing and he’s already so tall and with such long legs! I said it last week-Witney has been given a gift but the competition is stiff with Tinashe, Alexis and Demarcus. I’ll be curious to see how far Milo will go in comparison to them….
Ugh there’s that extra male dancer they use sometimes in the front!! I forget his name!!!????????????
Mary lou was in ny and gma didn’t cover it? Wow. Anyways, the dance itself was gorgeous. My favorite from her thus far. I’d give that a 9 as well….I mean wow wow wow. Ballroom is definately her thing.
Juan Pablo seemed just a bit overscored to me (24 or 25). But, seriously, if they’re giving this many 9s this early, they’re gonna either have to start breaking out the half-point paddles or have a “This paddle goes to 11” moment.
@Kara – from what I heard, no live voting tomorrow night.. just tonight’s scores and votes + tomorrow’s scores to determine the elim. I would say Danelle (Sadly), Nancy and Joe are in trouble
That was possibly my favorite dance from Keo ever on this show. He and Evanna brought it, and she’s just so adorable.
She may have just stolen my favorite dance of the night… Good think I didn’t update that Juan Pablo had mine lol But his was really good too. So many favorites tonight
@Ammie – I agree. I guess when Keo has a partner with potential he brings out his best. It sucks that they have two of the hardest dances this week with Samba and Jive but I guess it’s best to get it out of the way early.
@Susan, thanks! Somehow I missed that on another post. It’ll be really interesting how the scoring goes tomorrow if the judges scores matter enough to tilt some couple’s favor.
Most seasons, especially recent seasons, it’s so easy to predict who the early outs will be. Aside from Danielle I really don’t know! I’d say John but he finished 8th last week and got good scores/reviews from the judges; I still think Joe will survive but maybe not Nancy. And maybe Mary Lou will be a surprise boot tomorrow.
@Kara I so agree about the early outs.. I don’t remember a season where I was rooting for so many couples either. Normally I’d have a favorite and stick with them, but not this year.
And btw, something about Bobby rubs me the wrong way, but I might be the minority. T
Juan Pablo, Evanna, and Bobby have something in common. They made me very happy. Very happy. Juan especially….and who would have thought Evanna had sassiness in her.
My goodness I thought that was a beautiful dance by Mary Lou!! I thought her lines and extensions were nearly flawless. She was underscored in my book!!
Well despite the frame needing a boost, that was a decent quickstep. I liked the broadway feel of it. I would’ve liked to see more quickstep ‘steps’ but time didn’t allow for it tonight. For me, I don’t think they deserved 2-9’s however. I would’ve given 3-8’s.
Well that was a very different Evanna than who we saw last week!! She let herself go and I liked it! And Keo’s goal, this week, paid off-he choreographed a good samba. It would’ve been nice to see a samba roll but I don’t know if the song would’ve allowed for it….
Ha! Ha! I can’t with Bobby Bones! He nails the foxtrot pretty decently, even with grapevine steps, and then does his own little dance at the end! Gotta luv him!????
Not sure if it means anything but I spent the entire show trying to vote for John and got nothing but a busy signal.
FWIW, is tomorrow actually a double elimination? Erin didn’t mention that part.
Bobby is a little much for my liking. He’s a nice guy and his enthusiasm is great, but he needs to maybe take it down a little.
Missed Evanna’s dance but glad to hear she did well.
Predicting Danielle and Nancy or Mary Lou to go tomorrow. If there is a shocker, Danielle and Joe (low scores aside I’d be shocked if he went early)…I’d be pretty surprised if anyone else went, unless nothing can be done to save Alexis.
Read the blog, Sam.
Does anyone know why Joe and Jenna got to do a “redemption” foxtrot this early in the season? Did something happen to curtail his practice time so that he didn’t have time to learn another dance?
IMO, if Demarcus and Lindsay had danced around 9th or so, their score would have been in the 26 range based on the judges comments they received. Order of performance can make a difference.
@Lee They did quickstep last week and foxtrot tonight (and jazz tomorrow) so same number of dances as everyone else.
@Heidi: Fair enough. It does seem strange that they didn’t change the text on the teleprompter to say “two couples” at the end of the show. [Then again, with the camera weirdness they’ve had this season, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.]
Lee (2) Joe did Quickstep last week not Foxtrot.
Was pleasantly surprised that pretty much everyone was good tonight. 🙂 I voted mostly for Evanna but also a few for Milo. Hope tomorrow is a fun show as well and those two are safe!
Jordan’s street style is amazeballs and it is always great to hear Janelle Monae songs even though she has nothing to do with New York.
So many great dances this evening. Definitely hard to pick a favorite. I just love Juan Pablo. I am surprised that Carrie Ann has been rather subdued about him. I also love Milo and Witney’s dance. So energetic and Milo did a great job. They make good partners. DeMarcus did seem a bit stiff in the very beginning of the dance, but it did not last long. DeMarcus is a natural dancer and Lindsay is doing a good job with him. I have a feeling that Grocery Joe will never be Dancer Joe. Still very stiff, but better than last week. I loved Jenna’s dress. I still think Joe will be safe this week. Danelle is dong very well for a blind person. I still wonder if she has some visibility though. She was caught on camera a couple times looking down at the ballroom like she was watching the dances of other celebs and pros. I am getting more and more impressed with John. I read a comment from him that he said he was as comfortable dancing as a fish walking. Emma is a great teacher. To me, she has proved that over and over. She has the right temperament for it. Alexis and Alan. I think this couple is a real dark horse here. Neither of them have huge fanbases that will vote for them, so I could see them being a surprise elimination. I think that will break Alexis’s heart. You can tell she is really enjoying her journey on DWTS. Brandon and Tinashe just keep getting better and better, and it is only week 2. Those lifts did look scary and difficult, and they were done beautifully. This is another couple that does not have a big fanbase and I feel the higher scores is the thing that is keeping them in the game. I like Tinashe. She has got a great personality. I am really shocked that TPTB did not give her to Val. She just screams as a Val ringer to me. I don’t think that Keo is doing Evanna any favors. She is a good dancer, but needs a better teacher than Keo. I don’t see her in the finals at all. Poor Nancy, dancing on a broken foot. I don’t think the nostalgia thing is working for her though, and would not be surprised to see her gone this week if it is a double elimination. I am really shocked how normal Val is acting this season. I wonder if aliens didn’t come and abduct the real Val, and sent us a Val clone who is much milder and normal. Sasha and Mary Lou really had a nice dance tonight and think they could have gotten a higher score than 22. And Sasha looks like he is warming up to Mary Lou. The partnership seems much more in sync now. And last up is Sharna and Bobby. Bobby does seem to be still a bit wild in his dances. It must be a chore for Sharna to restrain him. He dances better than I thought he would, but sorry to say, there will be not a MBT for Sharna and Bobby this year. Looking forward to more great dances tomorrow.
Finally we have a black Team in contention. Has this ever happened before? If tptb keep giving them styles that they can do wow showdances then they may just get to the finals without a pro fan base to rely on.
@Darlene, Danelle’s visibility has been mentioned. She can see rough shadows and blobs, and that’s inches from her face. Farther away things, I imagine must be more abstract looking or just virtually unseeable. She has no peripheral vision either I believe. And while I don’t believe Danelle’s condition has gotten this bad, but when you read up on retinitis pigmentosa it says it has the ability to dull colors that might still be viewable, and also lights start to become bothersome. However I think the best description of what Danelle is experiencing is on the Wikipedia page for the condition. I’ll link it. In those moments you saw, I think most of the time she has someone next to her describing what’s going on, like sweet Nancy did. All times she was alone and seemingly looking at the ballroom from the skybox had to be to ensure face time with the camera. If Danelle just dances and then isn’t seen on camera the rest of the show then she’ll become lost in the shuffle even with her story.

Now don’t quote me, but I figure that small space she can see is irreversibly blurred.
Well, they’ve done “surprise” eliminations before – this could be one again.
Then again, they so did NOT have their shit together last week that things could change once again.
I didn’t mind the theme night terribly, which I thought I would. BUT the entire show to me was a let down. Normally I watch the best dancers and maybe my favorites and skip the rest. Everyone was boring to me last night. Brandon & Tinashe’s dance could have been cool but the music SUCKED! To me it lacked at all the brooding drama. Plus they won’t have this style to boost them in scores later. ugh. Don’t get me started on Keo. I have tried so hard to like him as a pro. I really have but I am just over it. He isn’t a choreographer and what he does choreograph doesn’t suit his celeb. Evanna looked lost to me and awkward. The only time I saw fierce was her walk. Mark or Derek would be kicking Butt with her. GRRR. I am so annoyed. And then Alan and Alexis. Again with the music. Music didn’t work for an AT.
It’s just frustrating. If your stable of pros isn’t on par with other seasons, GIVE THEM GOOD MUSIC. You can’t give a C level choreographer bad music and expect brilliance and that is what happened!!
Been doing some reading up on Danelle. Not only is she legally blind she also has MS. That makes what she has done on the show (and will do if she stays tonight) even more amazing. And makes me feel a little guilty for letting my bad joints hold me back, gonna try to take motivation from her and get my butt back to doing stuff.
@#Nick Thanks for the explanation of the blindness. I have 3 young kids and there are times I am in and out of the room, so don’t get to see the whole show. I do record it and watch later, but haven’t even done that yet. This is probably what is going on with Danelle. I am not questioning her blindness but want to better understand what she is going through. Again, thanks for the link.
