Can any1 vote in the switch up? I did my choices in hash tags but wonder if they will count & can you put all you hash tags in a couple of tweets or if it is 1 each. a bit unfair that Karina & Henry aren't choices though whoever goes next week is although someone said that BillyDee wasn't in the original choices but don't know if this is true or not
I presume anyone with a twitter account can vote (as many times as they like), but can't help on the other stuff.
If I've understood correctly the vote closes midnight after the show next week, so I suppose they'll just discard the switch votes for the eliminated pair from week 2. Presumably there will be another couple up for the chop based on week three's show too. I wonder if the double elimination was so they don't have to eliminate someone on the week 3 dances ... because both halves of that couple would be with new partners!!)
I wonder if it's working out more complicated than they first imagined!!
I got all excited, but it took me to a window to register for twitter which I didn't do. (I was going to support you in your wish ;-) and also vote for Emma to have Charlie ).
PS: Reading over at PureDwts, they reckon the spaces mean the votes won't count, so might be a good idea to delete the spaces after the hashtag so... #DWTSNeNeMaksim not #DWTS NeNe Maksim
(No idea if they're right about that)
Oh Soupy from what I understand the twitter thing is just to show you've tweeted about it, I fell for that at first just keep choosing couples and no tweeting. Seems a bit of a farce how it's turned out. Apparently they decided to do it via ABC now, as well as twitter as there were grumblings of cough 'fix' as folk tracking the votes on twitter. I ain#t joining twitter anytime soon.
I found it a bit odd that you just chose your couples and didn't have to submit it and then choose another pairing. That's why I pressed the twitter logo first time round, unless anyone can tell me I made a pigs ear of it and I am doing it wrong.
Candace - Jive
Drew - Waltz
Meryl - Foxtrot
NeNe - Rumba
James - Contemporary
Amy - ?
Cody - Jazz
Charlie - Jive
Billy Dee - Waltz
Candace and NeNe on week 3 and still no ballroom ....
Looking at some of the foxtrot there wasn't much ballroom there anyways I loved Charlie & Sharna's tango but understood Len's point but he needed to say something about the foxtrot and other dances as well None of the foxtrots looked like foxtrots to me it could of been any old dance tbh guessing Amy will have a ballroom but with Candace & Nene still not having a ballroom who knows

I think you need to have twitter to submit your choice. On twitter you can see the most common choice as they come up when you try to hast tag some are really obvious!

Oh, Okay! I'll do it again (it is a bit weird not having a submit button )

I'm only assuming that's the way to do it, based on Pure DWTS, saying it was on ABC for peeps without twitter accounts. They love to confuse though putting twitter link on there, reckon it will be all mighty cock up. Badly thought out, planned and executed. All for them to go back to their original partners anyway.:D:D:kitty:

Who would everyone pick for the switch-up then?
I'm basing it on the fact, they now put it on ABC site, for those not having a twitter account.
My choices are -
NeNe & Maks
Charlie & Emma
Billy & Peta (she deserves an older celeb)
Witney & James (just to make Peta jealous) ;-)
Sharna & Cody (she'll kick his a$$ into touch);-)
Cheryl & Drew
Amy & Mark
Val & Meryl (atleast Val can choreograph)
Candace & Tony
Derek & Danica
Charlie to Emma (just think she deserves a treat for a week)
James to Sharna
Drew to Witney
Cody to Cheryl (he needs a firm hand )
BDW to Peta
Meryl to Val (and hope he'd really challenge her)
Candace to Derek
Amy to Tony (she'll be fine with anyone for a week, I think)
Danica to Mark
NeNe to Maks (for the larfs)

Sorry yes some confusion but it seems you do have to tweet on ABC page after choosing your pairing, bummer, felt misled.>:(
This was the paragraph on Pure DWTS that threw me.
So first things first – anyone else find it awfully funny that they suddenly decided to allow voting for the partner switch on the ABC site last night? After it had been advertised as a “Twitter-voting” contest? And not long after I posted part I of my “Is it Rigged?” post? :-P I can only guess that it was an attempt to both appease the non-Twitter crowd, as well as play spoiler to our efforts to track the hashtags. Too bad that a lot of the folks voting on the ABC site are also using that handy-dandy “share my vote on Twitter” button to tell us how they voted…and good ol’ Keyhole seems to be picking that up as well. Nice try, Muppets/Mean Girls…*maniacal laugh* ::horns::

I doubt Amy has ballroom. I think she probably has Contemporary, but we'll see.
I'm glad to see Drew and BillyDee have Waltz. That should be a good dance for both of them. Billy, of course, is on borrowed time. If I had to guess, he may be eliminated Monday.
Charlie to Emma (just think she deserves a treat for a week)
James to Sharna
Drew to Witney
Cody to Cheryl (he needs a firm hand )
BDW to Peta
Meryl to Val (and hope he'd really challenge her)
Candace to Derek
Amy to Tony (she'll be fine with anyone for a week, I think)
Danica to Mark
NeNe to Maks (for the larfs)
How about you?
I picked
Emma with Charlie to see what she can do with someone who can dance
BDW with Peta least fav pro never gets older celeb about time tbh
James with Witney because I'm finding Cody hard work and I want to see what James & Witney can do (though quite happy if he has Sharna if I could pick any pro it would have been Karina I just couldn't work out my last 3 the first 2 were easy for me)
Drew with Sharna I like Sharna but she has the best male this season & want to see more personality from Drew & she was great with Andy Dick
Cody with Cheryl needs someone stricter & would like to see Carrie Ann face with the height difference
Meryl with Mark he was so good with Kristi better height for Meryl
Candice with Tony Tony can teach ballroom could be well matched would have preferred Tristan or Henry here tho
Amy with Val I like Val & his choreography so would like to see he would cope with Amy & vice versa
Danica with Derek I think they would suit each other
And finally Nene with Maks just to see Maks reaction
The waltz will be a nice farewell to Billy Dee hope Emma is still in the switch up tho & with Charlie
Confirmed by Amy on twitter that dancefan8001 is 100% right they are dancing contemporary. Wish it was ballroom third dance in & 3 couple yet to do a ballroom dance
Emma with Charlie to see what she can do with someone who can dance
BDW with Peta least fav pro never gets older celeb about time tbh
James with Witney because I'm finding Cody hard work and I want to see what James & Witney can do (though quite happy if he has Sharna if I could pick any pro it would have been Karina I just couldn't work out my last 3 the first 2 were easy for me)
Drew with Sharna I like Sharna but she has the best male this season & want to see more personality from Drew & she was great with Andy Dick
Cody with Cheryl needs someone stricter & would like to see Carrie Ann face with the height difference
Meryl with Mark he was so good with Kristi better height for Meryl
Candice with Tony Tony can teach ballroom could be well matched would have preferred Tristan or Henry here tho
Amy with Val I like Val & his choreography so would like to see he would cope with Amy & vice versa
Danica with Derek I think they would suit each other

Maks wants NeNe. His dance studio DanceWithMeUSA tweeted asking fans to keep the family together and specifically tweeted:
#DWTSNeNeMaks
#DWTSDanicaTony
#DWTSMerylVal
As far as Amy having Contemporry, I'm a little nervous for their dance on Monday. I know Derek said it was going to be beautiful but....well, you'll see.

They should have just finish that with putting Candice with Derek & Amy with Mark. Think all are grand no one who they get as they get as it for one week if it was for longer I think you would see a difference.
Really i wanted Maks with Nene as I think they will get on well & he has Meryl this season so it will be a different type of celeb for him. Have to admit I hope that Nene will be doing contemporary (if she HAS to do contemporary this season) with whoever she gets after Tony's attempt last season.
Bit disappointed to see Amy isn't doing a ballroom dance. She (and the others yet to do one) are not going to have any basic ballroom knowledge to build on as they get deeper into the competition. I know the show does everything it can to keep those pesky, boring ballroom dances that only really old people enjoy off our screens, but it makes the basic premise of the show a bit of a joke. Still, as has been remarked upon, when they do do foxtrot, nobody can really tell that's what it is anyway......

Hope you're right on both counts.
I liked your switches. I'm sure Derek's fans will put him with Meryl. I don't mind especially, but it'd be great if it were less predictable. NeNe aside (sorry Mr_XcX ), all the girls are good dancers. Even NeNe isn't terrible, but Tony hasn't really tested her with much proper technique yet. I'm starting to wonder if he can't really be bothered with it and is just giving her stuff she can do and have a good time with.
I trust Candace won't be banging on about her religion every week. It's a little tiresome and appears to be a cheap way to garner votes from the large demographic that wears its religious heart on its sleeve. Her protestations about wearing what she regards as revealing costumes could be seen as an implied criticism of the other female participants who don't subscribe to her "standards". The other contestants are promoting themselves and their talents; not their beliefs. I wish she would do likewise.

Just wanted to say Fridgesoup this was so well worded I thought I wrote it myself, hahahaha. ;-) Seriously. Every word is true.

If she feels that strongly surprised she took part! The costumes are part and parcel of the show, you can flash as much or little of the flesh as you like, if you have a discreet word with wardrobe. It's certainly whipped up some media interest though, cynical not.
I'm not a fan of Maks by any stretch of the imagination but I'm rather liking him together with Meryl.....at first I was disappointed she was paired with him because I thought it was a mismatch in personality, height and build and I thought it was a waste of a talented contestant but I think they're working well together so far. I'm loving Meryl - she's got a bit of an eccentric vibe about her......I think the American word is 'kooky' but she's definitely quite unique in her personality and especially like that slightly mischievous glint she has in her eye and the way she gently makes fun of Maks - I think her gentle, feminie gracefulness balances out Maks' machoness rather nicely.......still not sure how it's going to pan out for them in ballroom but as pointed out the producers don't seem to pay that much attention to proper ballroom so perhaps it doesn't really matter. I hope Mak's steps up his choreography for her.
Other contestants I'm liking are Charlie and Danica - both come across as enthusiastic and charming and wanting to do the best for their pro partners. So at the moment I'd like to see Meryl, Charlie and Danica in the final - I think that would make an interesting final having two brothers competiting against each other and the two figure skating partners.
I felt sorry for Diana being the first boot - she was a super fan of the show and seemed to be loving the experience, it would have been nice if she could have had a week a two more and I personally wanted to see more of Henry. I'm not so sure about Sean - I think he had a right to be annoyed because it looked like he was stitched up by the producers but I'm not sure he was enjoying the experience and although I realise he was a novice he looked quite self conscious in his performances - I felt more sorry for Karina being stuck in a difficult situation between him and the producers.
BIB Ha! the ultimate put down . Agree with what you say about Cody. He just irritates the heck out of me, from his horrid droopy-crotch jeans with the bandana hanging down the back to his gangly spaghetti limbs and personal take on the dances. I know he's only young, yada, yada .. but, Gah! He makes my teeth itch!
Cody's legs and feet do look horrible when he's dancing.
