I am so disgusted. Suni was pepper sprayed in a racist attack in LA back in October:

on Nov 3
Two going next week. I’m a bit nervous for my faves Iman Melora Jimmie.

So Jimmie got eliminated and Melora hit bottom even with 2 points added to a perfect score. She’s definitely has an uphill battle, maybe the bottom bounce will keep her safe. Cody Iman and Amanda have not hit bottom- but neither did Jimmie before he was eliminated so it will be a nail biter

So sorry for the delay guys, it's holiday season for me at work and I've been slammed like crazy!

We've got a double elimination this week plus judges dances.

• Popstar and dancer JoJo Siwa and pro Jenna Johnson will perform a redemption Argentine Tango to “Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)” by Gotan Project; then for their new dance, a Contemporary to “Before You Go (Piano Version)” by Lewis Capaldi
• NBA basketball star Iman Shumpert (“We Got Love Teyana and Iman”) and pro Daniella Karagach will perform a redemption Tango to “Telephone” by Martynas; then for their new dance, a Jazz to “Dark Fantasy” by Kanye West
• Olympic gymnast Suni Lee and pro Sasha Farber will perform a redemption Foxtrot to “Haven’t Met You Yet” by Michael Bublé; then for their new dance, a Contemporary to “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles
• TV and film actress Melora Hardin (“The Bold Type”) and pro Artem Chigvintsev will perform a redemption Rumba to “I Don’t Want To Wait” by Paula Cole; then for their new dance, a Contemporary to “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons
• Talk show co-host of “The Talk” Amanda Kloots and pro Alan Bersten will perform a redemption Tango to “Titanium” by David Guetta featuring Sia; then for their new dance, a Contemporary to “Live Your Life – Nick Cordero” by Lenii
• Celebrity fitness guru Cody Rigsby and pro Cheryl Burke will perform a redemption Salsa to “Danza Kuduro” by Don Omar and Lucenzo; then for their new dance, an Argentine Tango to “La Cumparsita” by Forever Tango

For their first-round dances, celebrities will repeat a dance style they struggled with earlier in the season with a new song as their redemption dance. The judges will mentor each of the couples. Len Goodman will mentor Amanda Kloots, JoJo Siwa and Melora Hardin; Carrie Ann Inaba will mentor Suni Lee; Bruno Tonioli will mentor Cody Rigsby; Derek Hough will mentor Iman Shumpert. For the second round, couples will perform another style of dance as they each vie for a spot in this season’s finale.


On a sadder night I will be missing the last two episodes at least while they are live.

I wondered if there is going to be another double elimination. There are still too many couples left. It always makes the casts so nervous.

It honestly does, I wish they would do them earlier

I wondered the same thing. It's highly possible.

So, JoJo IS in a new dance show. Just as I predicted. Only it's on Peacock instead of ABC. But, they definitely are trying to attract dance mom & kids. So, winning the mirror ball will be an important resume credit for her (and for DWTS.) And being in the DWTS tour (to be announced later - wait for it,) will help her draw more dance fans to the tour and her own show. That's a win for everybody involved.

We're down to the last two shows.

 

[Imzadi]

I like Cheryl with bangs.

 

[Imzadi]

I noticed Bruno stayed away from Cheryl & Cody.

 

[AustinTink]

That salsa reminded me of how much I miss Zumba class.

 

[AustinTink]

I agree with Derek, I gasped at the leg thing also.

 

[Imzadi]

I thought about taking zumba classes. I saw some videos. It looks like fun.
