Dancing With the Stars - Spring 2017

[Straitlover]

I read that Val and Amber Rose are dating can someone please tell me this isn't true

They were right after their season finished. They have broken up now, thank goodness!

I really liked Rashad too. I thought Bonner started out well but then was just okay to me. Tom and Charo were the funniest together.

I think Simone will be the one to beat.

I did not realize Ross was with the Red Sox. I don't really follow baseball all that much but being from New England I sort of follow the Red Sox if they make it to the World Series. I guess I have to cheer for him now especially him being the first baseball player and former Red Sox catcher. Also love Lindsay.

Tom is SO obviously a Red Sox fan .

Haven't the producers been known to use dark lighting, sets, etc. to try to cover flaws?
Now it lasers?
I absolutely hated that.

I hate it too. I'm at the age of needing reading glasses as my eye muscles aren't as flexible as they used to be. That also means my eyes don't adapt quickly enough to sudden changes in light, like watching the dancing with a dark background and then get a flash of sudden white light from those lasers or spotlights. I have a big TV, so it's a huge flash of bright white. It hurts my eyes.

LOVED Rashad.
He can move...

They saved Simone for last, and gave her all 8's.
But, I wasn't seeing it. Seems so scripted.
Sure, she is a gymnast and can move/dance.
But, for me, presentation, choreography, musicality, etc... all count too.
I wasn't seeing ANY of that.

I have to watch the dance again, but my initial reaction is that she was like a frantic wind-up doll.

Imzadi, I had to copy this off your post so I could remember who they were.

Bonner Bolton & Sharna - I thought wow, wow, wow! but he is a little too free with his hands and trying to play the sex card which he doesn't even need to play. He is easy on the eyes.
Charo & Keo - I am going to tire of her fast, in fact I'm already tired of her.
Chris Kattan & Witney - my least favorite dance of the night.
David Ross & Lindsay - a fun team to watch.
Erika Jayne & Gleb - Yuck!
Heather Morris & Maks - I enjoyed their dance.
Mr. T & Kym - I really don't think she's into this season.
Nancy Kerrigan & Artem - she was so stiff.
Nick Viall & Peta - trying too hard but did better than I thought he would.
Normani Kordei & Val- I enjoyed their dance also.
Rashad Jennings & Emma - thought theirs was the dance of the night.
Simone Biles & Sasha - I was surprised when the blurb in the lower left corner of my screen said they were dancing the Tango. It didn't look like one to me and her long dress hid any leg movement. Was not the dance of the night. Thought all 8's was a little high.

I'm glad they were mostly giving low numbers, gives the dancers something to shoot for. I wish that the highest number had been a 7.

Same here. The flashes were really over the top. I ended half-closing my eyes through much of it.

Yikes! I just saw the Bonner crotch grab online. Hopefully, it was just an accident, but Sharna did not look happy.

lol...he didn't have the same enthusiasm mentioning the Cubs as he did the Red Sox

We took my oldest DS to a Sox game 3 years ago and David Ross was catching the game. As we were walking out with the crowd Ross came out and handed something to a security guard. The next thing we knew the guard came up to us and handed us his batting gloves from the game! My son was so excited! They're not autographed but have his Red Sox number on them and very obviously used! Super cool memory for all of us!

That's awesome, what a great memory. Reminds me of the first Bruins game we took our son to, we were sitting behind the penalty box and he got two game pucks from the ref.

I had to go look for it as I missed it. TMZ posted a video of it in slow-mo. And they have labeled it the "crotch grab."

But to Bonner's [possible] defense, he wasn't even looking at her at the time, to see where his hand was going or how low he was reaching. And Sharna had turned all the way around, while he wasn't looking. He probably, maybe thought she'd be facing forward to the camera, so that his hand would have landed on her side hip - the only part of her body, actually clothed down there.

I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt,(not convinced tho) but I'm keeping an eye on him....

Another example of just how awesome he is. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think I have ever seen "shorts" that tiny! That being said, Sharna pulls them off splendidly!

Sharna came to his defense..and she wasn't offended!

 

[Mizzoufan]

I wouldn't be shocked if these two aren't dating. She seemed pretty taken by him.

even if they ARE dating, dude...show some respect in a room full of camera's and a MILLION people. There was also another time a partner did wrong by Sharna and she took the high road (during the competition) I can't remember who, and a lot of it was being late, mouthing off, etc. Regardless of is Sharna was offended or not apparently some damage control needed to be done , and after only being night one? I imagine we will see his hands in all the proper places in front of the cameras from now on

Sharna came up next to him. He put his arm around her, but she turned to the side. I saw it..didn't look intentional. She quickly moved his hand to her leg..he moved it away, when he realized what had happened.
