Couldn't agree more. It's all a bit sad.
I'm more bothered that less popular contestants are not getting a fair crack of the whip, and learning to dance is being sidelined as the main focus of the show. I agree though, that it will eventually backfire on Zendaya. When the producers persistently over hype a contestant a large section of the viewers (me included) take an 'anyone but...' perspective. The sad thing is, she doesn't need all this 'help', she's good enough to do it via the traditional method of, er, you know ... dancing (perish the thought! ).Could be demoralising for those in the lower rankings, bit unfair. I thought the idea for eliminations was for the element of surprise, knowing the most popular celebs, erodes this surely? Not keen on crowning the most popular, bit too much like school, but then it is with prom night Ballroom dancing appears to be taking a back seat more and more. I'm interested to know how well celebs that have started the show with contomporary dances will then fare with the ballroom numbers, surely the first few weeks of training are for learning the basics of ballroom? |

Jacoby, Kellie and Zendaya (assuming she does have paso). All potential contenders for the win. Coincidence or conspiracy?

Ballroom dancing appears to be taking a back seat more and more. I'm interested to know how well celebs that have started the show with contomporary dances will then fare with the ballroom numbers, surely the first few weeks of training are for learning the basics of ballroom? I actually think that people who have done contemporary at week 1 were really at a disadvantage and lucky for them that their dances turned out to be really good. Disadvantage because its a dance like rumba where you have to be able to really connect with your partner and emote the dance , morever the lifts....so thats not really easy so yes I want to see my favourites do ballroom already . |

This pro-Derek website (its a really good website ) shame that they can ban you if you do so much as criticize Derek
![]() ![]() ![]() .http://www.puredwts.com/2013/03/30/d...what-and-when/ By the way, I dont think we still know what dance Zen and Val have. So could be Paso, chacha or VW and Im really hoping for the latter. |

)Ha ha, yep reliving youth Still that's the way of things unfortunately. Mark's looking forward to it as he was over here and never participated in prom. Over the last few years it seems to have been imported to our country. I hear some people spend crazy amounts on their children's Prom. Glad I missed all that not my scene at all.

On occasion they are useful though, never ventured on there to air my views.

They really have good informations on the show but I just hate that no one can really state his opinions about Derek or one of his partners before they threaten to ban you I actually Like Derek, but I just dont like the way some people put him on a piedestal and think he cant do no wrong, end of rant

I still think Victor could have done well with another pro. The show is so desperate to get another Julianne but I haven't been completed sold on her work yet ! Plus her personality is a bit bland imo

.Kym seems to have gone off the boil this year too, underwhelmed with her choreography so far. Sharna is shining through she is a good find. Gleb's a good dancer but his choreo so far failed to ignite. He seems to have been bought in for a bit of eye candy, doesn't do anything for me though ![]()

Thanks sweetmiss, guess who has his chesticles almost out. Although heard Kat asking Gleb to flash the flesh as she was taking photos the other day so think he plays up to it and it's the money shot for her, wonder if the celebs and pros get a cut from her photos?.
