Dancing with the Stars Season 28, Week NINE – Who’s Dancing What…and When??
Well, I just realized that I didn’t do this post this past week. I was in New Orleans working and having fun also and not thinking about blogs. 🙂 Better late than never I suppose. So, here’s what we’re going to see tonight on DWTS:
“Boy Band & Girl Group Night” – Six celebrity and pro-dancer couples return to the ballroom to compete on the ninth week of the 2019 season of “Dancing with the Stars,” live, MONDAY, NOV. 11 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EST), on ABC. (TV-PG, L) Episodes can also be viewed the next day on ABC.com, the ABC app and Hulu.
Choreographed by Brooke Wendle and Rodrigo Basurto, the show will open with a medley of songs from some of the most popular boy bands and girl groups in history. For this week, there will be two rounds of competitive dance performances. In the first round, couples will dance to music from girl groups like TLC, Spice Girls, En Vogue and The Pointer Sisters, among others; the second round will be music from boy bands like Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men and *NSYNC. For the first time ever and joining Len, Bruno and Carrie Ann, two guest judges in the ballroom will be Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) of the Spice Girls and Joey Fatone of *NSYNC and “Dancing” alum. Emma will judge the girl group dances, while Joey will judge the boy band dances.
Vying for America’s vote, each couple will dance to a variety of songs including The Supremes’ “You Can’t Hurry Love,” Spice Girls’ “Wannabe,” En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind,” The Pointer Sisters’ “I’m So Excited,” Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way,” New Kids on the Block’s “Step by Step,” and Jonas Brothers’ “Only Human,” among others.
I personally think this theme is kinda dumb, but we’ll see how it plays on TV. And I wonder if Mel B wasn’t available – is she on another network? She was on America’s Got Talent, but I don’t think she is anymore. Anyway…I think Lauren may struggle this week cuz Rumba. S___ should be a trainwreck of major proportions – will it matter? Not until the judges give out appropriate scores for him relative to every other couple still on the show. If Lauren does struggle and gets 8s on her rumba, this is STILL no way in HELL that S___ should get anything higher than a 5. But apparently the judges lack courage. Hopefully, the Hannah of last week is still present – if she is she won’t have too much trouble. If she’s not, she might. I think Kel, James and Ally are probably fine. We will see!!
Kel and Witney – Paso and V. Waltz
James and Emma – Jive and Jazz
Ally and Sasha – Samba and Jazz
Hannah and Alan – Salsa and Tango
Lauren and Gleb – Quickstep and Rumba
S___ and Lindsay – Argentine Tango and Samba
Hope there are no lifts in Lindsay’s Argentine Tango.
I think Jenna is dancing with him again. I’m just going to vote for everyone but him as suggested and sit back and hope for the best.
S_____ is dancing a foxtrot not a samba. How convenient for him ????
Backstreet Boys has so many better songs than “I Want It That Way”, which was already used by Bonner a couple of years ago. I guess Lauren will Rumba to that song. Can we also retire the song, “Free Your Mind”.
Is it me, or is Jenna’s partner doing a Foxtrot on the DWTS Insta stories? The judges will probably find a way to praise him for walking around in unison. I hope Carrie Ann doesn’t backtrack or apologize for saying she’s frustrated that better dancers are getting eliminated.
I’m just going watch the show pretending it’s the top five and vote for all five of them.
If not him, then I think Kel and Ally will be the most vulnerable. Ally clearly isn’t bringing in the votes, and I’m not sure Kel can overcome James, Hannah, and Lauren. Ally might get another boost from being in the bottom 2.
I was wondering the same thing about Mel B. They’ve had other girl groupers on here, although the first ones that come to mind either are committed to other networks (Nicole) or probably too busy to return (Normani).
Knowing with how the judges score, Sean will end up safe again tonight. If they really wanted him gone then don’t hand him 7’s or 8’s heck even 6’s.
Also, I thought that Keo and Daniella were supposed to fill in whenever a pro gets injured or if something happened? I’m kinda confused as to why Jenna is filling in for Lindsay but not Daniella.
The DWTS Twitter account said that Emma Bunton won’t be guest judging tonight due to a scheduling conflict. Joey Fatone will guest judge for both rounds. Emma’s been at Walt Disney World filming the Disney Christmas Parade the last few days. She’s hosting that and she’s also host of ABC’s The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition. And she was a judge on ABC’s 2017 singing show, Boy Band.
How bad should I feel for wishing that Sean would get injured and withdraw? I know nearly EVERYONE wants him gone but how sinful is it to wish someone would be hurt?
@Colleen that guy doesn’t even rehearse enough to merit an injury. ????????????
One thing im grateful for now that pasha is no longer competing is that he can help kel with his technique. Kel can perform and has great rhythm but he needs to work on his technique a bit more. But i think this might be his last night. ???? the judges will probably pick ally over him
Are you freakin’ kidding me, Bonnie?? Jesus.
Does any one know if they will be doing a double elimination this season? I hope not especially since James Kel Ally Hannah and Lauren all deserve to be on the show
I’m hoping for a little Charleston in Ally and Sasha’s Jazz. I like his and Lindsay’s choreo for that style ☺️. I finally can live vote because usually I work Monday nights! Also TPTB need to fix this mess of a season. They act like they don’t know what’s wrong.
