Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2024

[Imzadi]

Stephen did really well. I liked his choreography better than Dwight & Daniella's, even though they both did contemporary dances.

 

[Imzadi]

Wow, the violence in some of these dances, tonight made this not really a family friendly dance show for younger kids to watch.

Chandler & Brandon did really great, as expected. No real chances taken with their dance, the way others took.

 

[Imzadi]

Wow they really are piling it on Ilona tonight. First the low scores and now the dance off loss. She may go home tonight.

I really, really wish they had given Ilona the type of heels JoJo Siwa danced in. She had chunkier, mid-high heels, whereas Ilona has those thinner, spikier heels that she really is not comfortable in, and teeters.

When I rewatched Dwight and Daniella today, I felt the same way. It was a bit too far.

That would make a world of difference.

Jenn and Sasha did have a lot more salsa content.

Exactly. Jenn & Sasha had 2-3 times the content of actual salsa moves. Whereas, Stephen & Rylee did more standing in place, posing & waving arms, then lifts, a flip, and spins to take up the time. Side by side comparisons, Jenn did more salsa moves the whole time. Rylee didn't do Stephen any favors with that choreography.

 

[Imzadi]

Joey & Jenna and Danny & Witney's dances were so close. They equally had about the same content.

But, of course, the ABC star ended up winning the extra points.

In fact, all the ABC stars are at or near the top of the leader board.

 

[Imzadi]

Ilona’s fan base saved her this week. Jenn just didn’t have those kind of votes.

I am shocked. Even those 3 extra points Jenn was given - and her dance did have more content - didn't save her. ABC actually had to let one of their ABC stars go home. That must have stung for them.

But, Jenn really isn't very likable in my opinion.

Whereas, you can tell, Ilona is really, really trying from the heart.

I'm not saying Jenn didn't try her best. But, when she said she was expecting all 9s, instead of hoping she is good enough to get one, that probably set people off to vote against her. She was acting like a high school cheerleader, expecting she'd get 9s.


Now, DWTS, PLEASE give Ilona the right dance shoes.

 

[Imzadi]

When I rewatched Dwight and Daniella today, I felt the same way. It was a bit too far.

Also Chandler & Brandon. She stabbed him right in the gut with a faux knife and he had fake red fringe for blood afterward.

But, Jenn really isn't very likable in my opinion.

She seems fake.

Whereas, you can tell, Ilona is really, really trying from the heart.

And Ilona seems absolutely genuine.

So next week there is no Dancing with the Stars, because of the election, right? Will they do two episodes again the following week like they did before or just the one? Also does any one know if it will be double elimination again or they will just go one week longer with the show? Thanks!

Right, no show next week.

They already did a double elimination. That second elimination may have been in anticipation for no show on election day. Also, it got rid of the two weakest stars. I'm not sure that they need another one? Plus NFL football is scheduled on Monday in two weeks. So, no DWTS that Monday.

So did you all see that Jen posted on Tik Tok her “private rehearsals” with Sasha? And Derek announced he was happy for the couple. So the rumor is now that they are dating.

I thought in honor of the 500th episode coming up, we'd take a trip down memory lane and i'd post the dances that are inspiring the upcoming dances
