Who’s ready for tomorrow night? I’m excited. I think this it’s a pretty solid lineup this season. I don’t know a few of them but the videos DWTS has posted online have been fun.

I just read that Sasha will be doing the DWTS live TikTok coverage as well. That’s a pretty good fit for him.

Yikes. Must be something contagious to have her miss the premiere. Would be cool to have Maks, Peta or Sharna sit in.

I was thinking Maks too. But, I think he and Peta are at home in NJ. Probably not enough time to fly in last minute.

BTW, I did a little research on Hilaria Baldwin. I'm an alum of NYU and I have never heard of the New York University Ballroom & Latin dance team that she claims to have competed with as a former competitive ballroom dancer. Not that I have heard of everything NYU does or puts out. But a famously successful team, I would have thought I may have heard of before or that it sounds vaguely familiar.

On their Instagram page the NYU Ballroom Dance Team's description: Competitive & Social Dancing
All Levels Welcome — No Experience Needed!

So while she may have danced "competitively" with them, it may not have up to a Blackpool level of ballroom competition. My high school table tennis/ping-pong team was ranked #1 in our area division and I was ranked #3 on our team. But, that doesn't make me Forrest Gump.

We shall see, Hilaria.

They will not have anyone replacing her surprisingly tonight. It will continue with Derek and Bruno

UT has a ballroom team as well. I know a kid who was on it and had no prior experience. Seems it was just for fun.

No one gets the boot tonight anyway. (At least, that's the way it usually is.) That's probably why they didn't replace her.

Hmm, I Googled Hilaria again in reference to TX as I didn't know she has anything to do with that state.

Google AI started out with, "There is no public record or credible report of Hilaria Baldwin . . ."

I don't think I've ever seen Google AI start out with saying " no credible report" for anyone else I've ever Googled. (False claims are usually listed later, after some known facts.) Even AI knows how much she lies.

I will say I love that we're seeing so much personality of the pros and contestants thanks to social media this season

 

[AustinTink]

Solid opening number. Val was a sweaty mess afterwards. Dang dude.

 

[AustinTink]

Well Ezra definitely has a better partner this season. I saw that he trained with Louis when he was a kid. Just a fun fact.

 

[Imzadi]

Strong start. Ezra needs to learn to not out dance his partner though.

 

[mandy200587]

Agreed but i also feel like i expected more from Jordan after other gymnasts if that makes sense

 

[AustinTink]

Yikes 5’s for Jordan and Ezra? Poor Andy. It’s gonna be rough.

100%

Both Simone & Suni had Sasha as a dance partner. Ezra is still kind of new. Maybe he & Jordan just need to grow into this a bit more.

Yeah, that score is shocking.
