Official Dancing With the Stars, season 16 thread

Yesterday, I was wondering why they got rid of the half point paddles they used during the All Star season. I think that having the .5 paddle would have made a big difference this season as Jacoby and Aly have received some tens when neither of them are anywhere near the same caliber as Kellie and Zendaya.

As for last night, I thought Zendaya was best in Round 1 and the Relay and Kellie had the best freestyle by far. Jacoby's freestyle was kind of a mess and Aly's was just weird. I thought Zendaya's was cute and Kellie's was fabulous. My votes went to Zendaya because I've enjoyed her dances the most overall throughout the season. I thought Bruno gave an excellent assessment when he said that she always shines through in the dance, no matter the style, you always see her. I love watching her dance. Usually I don't root for the person with previous dance training but she totally won me over.

The bolded is my issue with Zendaya entirely. Dancing is what she gets paid to do. Sure it's not ballroom dancing on her show, but she came to the table with considerable training. Unfair advantage in my opinion.
 
Finally watching last nights finals. Jacoby's first dance was okay. I do see improvement from before, which is good. Just watched Aly's Samba, and while I think she danced well, I didn't like Marks choragrophy (no idea how to spell :P).
 
Did anyone else see Kellie's husband after her freestyle? I wasn't sure if he was going to cry or punch out Derek :lmao:.

The advantage of Derek's choreography is that he knows how to tell a story. The story he told in Kelli's freestyle was stunningly beautiful. That being said, there was still something missing in it for me. I really can't put my finger on it, though. Kellie certainly showed more emotion than she had all season. OK ... just rewatched it. I didn't like the middle when he spun her around with her feet hooked around his head and then the next few moves/transitions. That whole section was gratuitous tricks and detracted from the dance.

I saw a husband, that was moved by the performance. He was blown away. This was the best dance this season. IMO It's in my top 2-3 all time.

ITA, 100%.

My order is as follows:

4. Jacoby
3. Aly
2. Zendaya
1. Kellie
 
I wouldn't mind a Kellie win, I think she's going to, but I just wish her partner wasn't Derek. Kinda ruins it.

I have never been a Derek fan. But, I think he has changed this season. He doesn't come across as arrogant and annoying as he once was. Maybe Kelli brings out the best in him. Now Mark on the other hand.......

I have seen a change in Derek over the last few seasons. He is much more generous to his partners now. When he won with Brooke I couldn't stand his ego, but I think he has grown up.

I agree - Derek seems so much more sincere and genuine. Love him or hate him -- he IS extremely talented! :flower3: I am really loving him and Kellie this season (and I wasn't a fan of either in the past! :rotfl:)

I have also been rooting for Zendaya this season. Yes, she's talented, but the main reason I've been voting for her is VAL!!! I am a huge M-M-Maks fan, but this season baby bro has won my heart!! :love: (I was one who said "ick!" about him and Kelly Monaco! :rotfl2:)

Putting my feelings aside (;)), I think Kellie deserves the mirror ball :thumbsup2

I agree. for me the winner could be Kelli, especially after that freestyle, or Zendaya. While. I'd love for Val to win over Derek, Zendaya came in with prior dance training over Kelli.

Therefore, Kelli grew a lot more than Zendaya.

I gave the majority of my votes to Kelli and a quarter of my votes to Zendaya, so she'd place higher than Jacoby or Aly.
 
Does anyone know the title of the song that Kelly and Derek danced to last night? It's a beautiful song.....
 
WTH??? How did Aly get booted out before Jacoby? :confused:
 
Can't say I'm surprised. Mark's vibe just turns the viewers off. Aly really did come so far, though. It's a shame.
 
Well crap. They deserved better.


So I'm watching on the treadmill as my DD swims. She's done at 9:00 and them we bolt home for the last half hour.
