Official Dancing with the Stars - All Stars

Can they do that?!? Can they have guest "dancers"?

Not in my mind, but again, they rarely ask.

It's Derek so of course it's allowed!

Hahahaha, this made me laugh. I didn't think they could have guest dancers either but it seems that they can. Maybe they will just be in the background doing tricks? Who knows? It has the potential to be super fun and audience pleasing but I think it could also backfire with the judges.

Like the judges don't know. The show probably paid to fly them in. If it was illegal, it could be stopped.

I think it will be awesome and fun and great entertainment! Can't wait to see it!

But then, I am a huge gymnastics fan, and I love it when they incorporate tricks and flips into their dances.

I don't remember the score that Shawn got for her first freestyle but I do remember thinking it was to much gymnastics and not enough dance.

I was worried when they said there would be extra dancers in the freestyle. The best freestyles have some lifts but also dance. If Shawn has the fab five will the other two have non dancers as well?

I think this season has gotten to gimmicky. I wish there had been more ballroom instead of all those strange combo dances.

I will be cheering for Melissa and Tony, the other two have their trophies and I think that Melissa is a great dancer.

I agree with you 100%. I liked the gimmick of theme weeks like country week or the Michael Jackson songs but the stupidity of the surfing flamenco or the caveman hustle did nothing for me.

I understand that they felt they had to change things up and really challenge the "all-stars" but I think they could have come up with some better ideas. All along, I had been waiting for them to have a week where they changed out the professional partners on them to see how they performed with someone they were not used to. I thought they could do it on one of the non-elimination weeks so that if you really bombed with a different partner, it wouldn't be the only thing sending you home.

I was also kind of hoping that when they brought back all of the eliminated folks, they would let them put together their own freestyle dance. I love seeing everyone come back but get bored watching them repeat a dance they already did. I think it would have been great fun to see what kind of free styles the eliminated all stars could put together.

All my votes are going for Melissa and Tony as well.

Here we go! Part One of the Finals.

I wonder if Kelly will get her first 10 on this one?

eta: I saw that slip too.

 

[goofinoff]

Kelly has zero personality!

 

[AustinTink]

A little flub right off the bat for Kelly and Val. Wonder if they will still get 10s.

I don't see how they can. Although other teams have gotten tens for less than perfect routines.

 

[Imzadi]

She danced first. They usually are marked lower than the dancers after. The judges have to leave that fudge factor.

 

[Cat0727]

oohh interesting, Shawn is bringing in the Fierce 5 for her free style. That's got to help with the fan votes.

I don't get why she can bring in other people. Donny Osmond should have been able to dance with his brothers & Marie then.

 

[goofinoff]

I love Melissa!

 

[Imzadi]

There was some tall guy in the front row, clapping, looking really bored.

 

[Elinor Dashwood]

Eh, Kelly and Val did pretty good but messed up and still got 10's? Especially from stingy cranky pants Len. I don't get this season at all.
