IMO.”
He is the poorest dancer left in the competition and his supporters know this but still want him to go through which is why they are blowing a gasket this week about changing the rules, the judges being biased by favouring the better dancers, slating all those who can dance better, blah, blah, blah.
It's silly as he is the most popular person and will probaably therefore go through anyway but they seem to want everyone to ignore what is obvious from watching the show. HE IS THE POOREST DANCER LEFT and neither his "personality" or his relationship with Ola can change what is obvious to anyone with eyes in their head and a modicum of honesty.
Donnie Osmond has been performing for 40+ years and still couldn’t remember a whole routine or learn to keep a proper stance throughout a number after months of training. He won anyway which is how the show goes. However, it is ridiculous to pretend he is a great dancer - as silly as those who are acting outraged because Chris’ Charleston wasn’t given 10s when to a neutral it is clear that he didn’t get a 10 because his routine was not good enough – even though it was his best performance because the dance suited him.
It doesn’t take a dance purist to recognize the quality of someone’s dance just someone who isn’t blinded by their partiality.
A personality can win SCD, as can a great dancer, as can a good dancer with a nice personality depending on the year. Chris is a not terrible but not good dancer with a huge fanbase and he has a chance to win just as Donny Osmond did. Those are the facts.
