This never would of happened with Tom

100%

This is like what happened on the Academy Awards, when they announced the wrong winner three years ago.

They should have just booted off Anne & Keo and left it at that.

My 80’s crush was Duran Duran.

I had this poster in my room.

My question is how? They had one job!

 

[Imzadi]

I just rewound the show. What's weird is that they announced 3 more couples who were safe AFTER they had announced Monica & Val. You'd have thought they'd have caught it before then.

 

[emmabelle]

How does things get that messed up? Awkward. I rewound too because I was like they told Val he was safe a few couples ago

Some intern/ production assistant is getting fired.

My question is how? They had one job!

For the Academy Awards, there are two guy who were handing out the envelopes on both sides of the stage. They each have the same exact piles of envelopes. Depending on which side of the stage a presenter comes out on, one of the guys hands out the envelope. The guy on the other side of the stage then gets rid of his duplicate envelope. One guy was taking selfies with the stars back stage and posting them on social media. He forgot to toss away the duplicate envelope. So the wrong one ended up being opened for "Best Picture."


What on earth went on tonight??? Tyra said she got the wrong card with the wrong name. But, Monica & Val's name were in the wrong place, and Tyra didn't have enough cards as there was way too many couples on stage.

 

[Imzadi]

Some intern/ production assistant is getting fired.

Yep. That's one good thing about Tyra being an executive producer. She can fire the person who didn't double check to get this right.

But, you guys are right, Tom would have looked on stage and caught that there are too many couples onstage and said something right away, before announcing the final two.

All the judges were raving over Nelly, but I thought he looked really stiff.

Same! I told my daughter that he looked stuff and then decided I didn’t know what I was talking about when I listened to the judges

I love how Justina is just so comfortable in her body. She doesn't need to be anorexically thin to have fun and shake her booty.

yes!!!

I thought Jeannie deserved at least one 8?

Totally agree! I love her!

and I’ll be the dissenting opinion. I think Skai totally deserved the 10.

I wonder if it was fake just for the drama. One of her new plots to liven up the show.

Ratings & viewers through faked incompetence?

I hope not.

Well, it is 2020.

Here is the replay from last night. I was in the middle of typing when you replied. I have it cued up to just before Monica & Val were cut. (If people want to see the whole elimination just click on the video & view it directly on YouTube and rewind to the beginning.)

3 more couples are saved. Tyra isn't just reading the names. She's saying stuff in between, "The next safe couple is. . .Also dancing next week are. . ." So she was still following some scripted stuff in between the names.

Then Tyra announces that Anne & Keo and Vernon & Peta are the bottom two. So they should be on stage at that moment. Which they were. Chrishell & Gleb were an extra couple on stage.

I'm wondering if the Chrishell & Gleb card was accidentally left out, or was stuck to the back of another card, as she was reading off the names?

Tyra, rightfully asked for clarification. As the production control room was scrambling to figure out what was going on and they are under a time crunch, maybe the poor person who was in Tyra's ear prompter was saying, "There should be another card! Look for another card with names on it!" Meaning the one with Chrishell & Gleb's name on it.

Tyra had already announced that Anne & Keo and Vernon & Peta are the bottom two. She probably should have just asked, "Are Chrishell & Gleb safe?" Maybe, in the pressure of the moment and needing to come up with an instant answer, when the person in her ear said, there should be another card with names on it, OR, just pick any other couple to go with Anne & Keo, (but meaning the two remaining,) Tyra randomly opened the stack, looked at whatever names were on that card and said, "The bottom two couples are Anne & Keo. . . and Monica & Val," instead of one of the remaining couples on stage. And suddenly Monica & Val were of the bottom two?

It's odd that when their names were announced earlier, that no one in the control room was going, "Wait! Aren't they one of the bottom two couples?" And that two other couples who were supposed to be safe, were still on stage, also not caught earlier.

Bruno was a trouper, mentioning how mistakes like this happen on the DWTS UK version, too. It's part of live TV. And Derek mentioned that he thought this is like what happened on the Academy Awards.
