The new cast of Dancing With The Stars

[Elinor Dashwood]

That jive was the best of the night. Trio's are one of the hardest pairings to do. For Donald to get the timing of the jive - the fastest dance that they do - down in a week and be in sync with both those girls. He blew the others away.

I completely agree with you. His was phenomenal, when they all lined up and did those flick kicks, he was amazing! His was the best dance of the night for the trio pairings.

He was robbed twice. Both of his dances were worthy of 30's. I have no clue what they have against him, but last night he was flat out robbed.

Yes, he was. Why are the judges (mainly that old poop Len) so harsh on him? He's been steadily improving every week. I really would love to see him win!

I think both Donald and William (along with Cheryl's) voting fan bases, will get these two to the final 3. The only way these two don't make it, is if either have a major meltdown and totally blow a dance. I think it will either be Katherine or Maria as the thrid. I am leaning more towards Katherine.

I think so. I predict Maria will be in the third, Katherine isn't very well known here in America while Maria is. And even though I do think Katherine is very sweet, it's so evident she's had some kind of dance training. You don't start out the gate with flawless ballet arms, right?

Nope. Voted for Roshon (of course) and Donald. Though the rumor is that Donald is being scored low(er) because his voting is out of the roof, but who really knows how true that is. I may log in under another email and throw some votes William's way as well. I know the judges gush over him, but I think he's really trying and doesn't want to be looked at as just eye-candy.

Donald and Roshon are my favorites too. Interesting rumor, makes sense if it's true (I hope it's true!).

There's so much hype over William, I don't think he's that attractive. But after last night, he really is putting 100% into his dances and seems fairly humble, even with all of the drooling women in the audience.

I voted for Roshon & William. I actually have a third phone, one that came with my Time Warner cable bundle, that I never remember I even have. Otherwise, I would have thrown some votes to Donald, too.

Melissa was good in her Val & Maks dance. But, it's time for her to go home.

 

[npmommie]

we gave all our votes to Roshon. my kids love him on shake it up.
I usually throw a couple Williams way because I like watching him dance, he seems to really try hard, and he isn't too bad either.

Katherine and Maria I am over. mark's facial expressions alone should get them kicked off

 

[jen0610]

The show would get interesting then!

Did anyone vote for either of them? I certainly didn't.

I think I voted for Katherine a couple of times earlier and Maria never. I just didn't think Katherine last night was that great. Yes I was impressed by her not getting rattled with the costume oppsie, but the dances was just so-so. And while I loved the thought behind the whole Bollywood, it would have been better suited as a free style dance.

Well after signing in and voting on all of our families e-mails, I just helped push the roof even higher.

He does come accross as humble and I truely hope that is the case. I think he loves learning the dances and gives it his all performing them. I can also give him props for their group dance last week, when they were making the decision to take the jackets off or not, he stated HE DIDN'T want to do it, as it was going to be expected of the 3 of them.

The votes that I have thrown his way, have always been based on the dance and not his looks. I may have been the first to post his modeling pics and made the statement that he may be around a while no matter how badly he dances, but I have always stood on the stance that this is a dancing show and that you should vote based on the dancing and not who's your favorite celeb and/or pro is or how hot someone is.

[/QUOTE]

agree with this and that is why I voted for him. I think he has improved.

 

[Princess Dolly]

I guess the wonder twins were Twittering it up that it was suspect they were both criticized last night. Arrogant ***** the two of them. Poor Tristan having to be handcuffed to Mark!

 

[Danibelle]

Yes, I usually can't stand the jive because they generally dress up the dancers in the most stupid, hideous costumes. The choreographer comes up with a silly theme, then puts on super-exaggerated facial expressions, and by that time, I can't stand to watch the dance itself.

Donald & the gals made their jive look really classy and the precision of their footwork was evident.

Donald is definitely the most improved dancer this season. He is a joy to watch! Loved the jive!

I really dislike the two of them more and more.
really.
does anyone else remember when Derrick was paired with Brooke and he called her stupid?
that clip of him getting mad in rehearsal made me think of that.
he an arrogant little twit that deserves to be paired with the next "nancy grace or cloris leachman" of the season, lets see how well he does.
pfffft!

Yes, I've been voting for him too, becasue he's been steadily improving. They've had pretty people on the show before who have been horrible dancers. Sometimes, it's just painful to watch them dance and better to let them go.

Not last night. She actually asked some good questions and held Derek's and Mak's feet to the fire. I think she went off script and it was good. Maybe the producers have been having her ask those stupid questions?

Maybe they finally got her an ear-prompter and have been feeding her good questions.

I would believe that in the case of Maks. The producers don't mind making him look like a bad guy. But NOOOOO way in the case of Derek, golden boy.

Those of you who thought Donald's jive was stellar need a rewatch. His energy was a 10, his performance a 10, and he matched the ladies really well, above the waist. His kicks and pumping action, not so much. A lot of his foot work is imprecise. That's what the judges are looking at.

William is a bit the same way, he's got some funny feet sometimes. That's where the two ladies are killing it. Katherine because of her training, and Maria because of hard work?

Roshon goes back and forth between good and bad footwork. Grandma was totally right, she must have been a dancer.

I kind of adore Maria, she's a trouper. Her partner isn't always very nice, but he sure can choreograph and teach!

...Poor Tristan having to be handcuffed to Mark!

...could have been worse - he COULD have been handcuffed to Bruno!

 

[TLSnell1981]

William is more than eye candy. He oozes sex appeal. Actually, I like what he says, when he opens his mouth too! I just him!

Donald's my next favorite, followed by Katherine or Maria. Roshon's been at the bottom of my list, pretty much always. I just don't like him.

....meh...... he doesn't push my pansies....

Well, GOOD!! One less person, I have to share him with..
