Official Dancing With the Stars, season 16 thread

[Imzadi]

I think all the flashing lights were messing with Len's head or something! I can't believe he scored them that way ... and his comment to Bruno ... Wow.

What did Len say??? I missed it.

 

[happygirl]

I think Sean got the raw end tonight, is he the best NO but I think his dance was better then the scores he got

 

[Imzadi]

Brooke: "Yeah, I could never count and dance either."

 

[Dancind]

Whoa, Aly gets Most Improved!

Ingo was better but over scored.

 

[marybet]

I don't know why Len went off on Derek's paso, I rewatched it and it looked like every other paso, just better!

I think it's Sean's week to go home, disagree that he was underscored, I thought they were being kind. Zenday's trio dance showcased her as the star, Sean's trio had the girls dancing around him to try and cover his flaws.

I thought Ingo's trio didn't have a lot of energy but it was still better than Sean's.

Surprise, surprise.....Jacoby jumped over his partners. He may dance a bit better than Sean & Ingo but he is so full of himself. I hope he does not make it to the finals.

What did Len say??? I missed it.

He told Bruno he couldn't talk unless he stood up, then he said he should stand up on his (the British word for backside) the word got censored.

He told Bruno he couldn't talk unless he stood up, then he said he should stand up on his (the British word for backside) the word got censored.

We were watching and DVRing the show live (we're on the east coast) and he said the 3-letter word for donkey. The censors didn't catch it in time for the live feed.

I can't believe how upset Len got, and how freaked out Carrie Ann got.

 

[Imzadi]

I guess Len took his cranky pills again.

 

[nursebetty]

I think Len gets frustrated with Derek always trying to stretch the rules of the dance. Esp. since Kellie is so good. I don't understand the rules of the different dances, but I do think Derek colors outside of the lines. Sometimes it works. I love Kellie and thought she would be my favorite, but Zendaya is and Ali is gaining. It's time for the men to leave.

 

[robinb]

Its been very quiet on this thread tonight!

Ugh. I kept my DD home tonight from swimming to study for an algebra test tomorrow. I had hoped that I would be able to watch the show but no ... I had to help with algebra. *sigh*

First dances ...

Zendaya - OMG was she CUTE. I loved the dance and I thought she deserved 10's.

Sean - I thought he was underscored. Especially since the music was so fast. I really liked his kicks on the tango.

Jacoby - Totally overscored. I didn't think it deserved his scores!

Ingo - Whoever said that he was the most improved was RIGHT! Nice dance!

Kellie - They made such a big deal about her getting in touch with her emotions in the package and I thought she was technically beautiful but still frosty. The 9's were spot on.

Ali - Loved it! Very intense and passionate. Probably one too many lifts and Carrie Ann was right ... there was a bit of a hitch on the lifts like he was trying to showcase her strength in holding the lifts.

 

[robinb]

Trio dances ...

Zendaya - Loved how Val reminded Gleb to be age appropriate, LOL. Whoo hoo first perfect score!

Sean -OK, that was terrible. Even the pros were bad.

Jacoby - His paso was really great! His "signature" jump over his partners was even in character, LOL. He underscored in the trio dance.

Ingo - Fun dance! I liked it.

Kelli - OMG! That was AWESOME! What they heck was Len talking about?!

Ali -I liked it, but I thought that the Jive was a little slow probably because of the music. Lots of shakes, but no shimmies ALL NIGHT!

BTW, did everyone else notice that a lot of the dancers are wearing those drop crotch pants? Ick, I see some in my DD's future.

 

[Caseheidi]

Just watched tonight's show, and I have to admit that I am tired of seeing Jacoby jump over Korina each week. It was awesome the first time, but is getting old. Jacoby is good enough that I would rather see some variety instead of a gimmick repeated 4 weeks in a row!

I also feel bad for Kelly. I really dislike when Len takes his disagreement with a pro out on the stars score. He did not score her dancing, but instead scored his artistic differences with Derrick. Bad form.

 

[RachelTori]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought Jacoby was way over scored? It seems like all he has to do is take off his shirt and Carrie Ann is in lust. I thought his dance was sloppy and I have had enough of his mother, they wouldn't let anyone else in the audience carry on like that. Okay vent over.

Loved Zendaya, Val and Gleb! They should get a perfect score.

I really can't believe how Jacoby's mother acts. Best to leave the camera off her and the mike as far away as possible!! Did y'all notice though Len's comments on Jacoby's dance? He is clearly AFRAID of Mama!!

The first perfect scores of the season for Val, Zendaya & Gleb!

LOVED IT!!!

I think Sean got the raw end tonight, is he the best NO but I think his dance was better then the scores he got

It was pretty evident last night that the judges' pick to go home is Sean. He wasn't that good, but he certainly wasn't deserving of all 3 judges' negative comments. They really ganged up on him. (and for the record, I don't even like Sean! )

Agree - the jumping is getting old.

I felt so bad for Kellie, having to stand there and listen to the rant. Len going off on them like that was awful. Shame on you, Mr. Cranky Pants.

I am sorry, but I do not get the love for Ali. What has happened to her since the Olympics? Most contestants lose weight and inches on DWTS. She appears to have gained weight. No wonder Mark has back problems. And I think she is always over scored. And our local station is always encouraging viewers to vote for her.

I despise Jacoby and his rude mother. He is so conceited and when he talks, he sounds like an uneducated thug. Get over yourself and stop sticking your head in other stars interviews. I know it won't happen, but I wish he would go home tonight. Love that he was in the bottom 3 last week.

I believe that Sean will be going home tonight, but I believe that Ingo did not dance any better than Sean last night. And Len is an idiot. How could he score Kelly's Paso the same as Sean's dances. Send him back to England where he belongs.

Rant over.

I just watched the Kellie trio again and I have no idea what Len was talking about. She and Derek had a whole long sequence in hold. What are they supposed to do with three? Have all of them hold hands?? I thought it was brilliant and I also think last night's tirade had a bit of a planned feel to it. The last two weeks the judges have alternated in being bizarre. Remember Carrie Ann last week? She made some totally whack-o comment about Jacoby "farting" his dance??

I am very much over Jacoby, his leaping and his mama. I thought he was kind of charming and has had some good dances but is definitely getting the feel of a one trick pony. Really, none of the guys really wow me. Of the three, I guess I like Ingo (or dislike him the least!) He is pretty self-effacing and has a charm about him.

Zendaya is totally fab and there is something about Ali that is off putting to me. I can't put my finger on it but there is some reason I can't embrace her.

Most people go from a light to moderate exercise program to hours spent practicing on DWTS. Aly went from Olympic level training to DWTS. No, she's not paper thin like Kellie or Zendaya and she NEVER has been that thin. Aly has always been a muscular young woman because of her sport and I bet she's stronger and more athletic than both of them put together. That works to her advantage because Mark can choreograph more demanding routines for her. FTR, I think Zendaya's one weakness is a lack of core strength.

No wonder Mark has back problems.

That's really mean. I hope the two "joys" that you are a Nana to don't ever weigh more than a feather.

I agree....I'm tired of seeing Jacoby and his signature jump move each and every dance. One of these days, he's going to miss one of those jumps...... not sure how I feel about that.

Also, I've gotten to the point I always DVR the show at least for a few minutes just so I don't have to see his mother's 2 cents worth each week. No one elses family has ever acted that way. I'm sick of it and I want him gone because it is such a distraction.

I felt bad for Kelly and Derrick as well. I can usually see where Len is coming from when he blasts Derrick (and usually Mark as well) for taking too many liberties with the dance. In this case though, I was shocked. I thought it was an awesome dance. I'm not an expert by any means but I could tell it was a Paso. Certainly you have to take some liberties with a trio dance anyways. I thought the choreography was great and I loved the artistic approach to weave both her dances together (Personally I didn't like her first dance. I didn't feel the emotion in it at all like I did the trio dance). I was shocked when Len went off the way he did. It was very strange. It would suck for that low score to cause her to be voted off.

 

[nanajoyx2]

I am Nana to 7 joys and they are all skinny, but that will not always be the case. None of us are thin. In fact I am very overweight. Yes, Ali is muscular and strong. But comments about Wynonna's weight were just as rude and no one seemed to object. And last season had Sabrina and Shannon, who were awesome dancers. And I remember comments on their appearance, too. Sorry if I offended you.. She was a great credit to our country in the Olympics, but not that great to me on DWTS.

 

[Arielle22]

When I was watching Jacoby jump in the trio dances I was wondering if during the freestyle he would line up several pros and jump over them. I am very over his jumping and I loved it the first time.

I am also tired of all the booing of the judges. It adds to the general chaos and distracts the judge from his or her comments. The judge is entitled to their opinion just as the audience members are.

I hope Sean goes home this week. He looked like he was running from spot to spot on the floor, not actually dancing.

Derrick and Kelly's dances were pretty but not very moving to me. I loved seeing Tristan again.
