From these videos you can tell some couples who have an easy chemistry and get along so well : Z and Val, Karina and Jacoby, Sean and Peta , even Cheryl and D.L and Lisa & Gleb the other couples interactions in these confessionals always look rehearsed and forced especially Aly & Mark , Derek & Kellie and Victor & Lindsey ..

at Z's New Jersey accent (a state in the Us ) which is spot on by the way .

Lisa Vanderpump Felt an 'Element of Relief' to Dancing with the Stars End

Regarding the ratings All Star season was a all time low for the show. Im sure Monday nights NCAA Basketball championship Game affected the ratings.

Bye Bye Lisa. Seems that fake fainting could not save you from elimination

Guessed 2/2 for the eliminations so far excluding the week Dorothy quit. Hope I can keep it up.

See y'all next week. Also so so so happy Val won pro vote The catty claws are officially out for Z now. Just hope she does not get Sabrina'd

Week 4 - results show - part 3

Not sure what's happened to the middle part...hope it gets upoaded later....

I dont want to sound overconfident but Im sure she wont . She is a sure lock for the final imo with Jacoby of course.

So far week 5 dances
Andy-Paso
Aly- Samba
DL-Tango
Ingo-CCC
Sean- Quickstep
Victor- VW
Zendaya-AT

Unknown
Kellie
Jacoby

The top 4 will be:

Jacoby
Zendaya
Kellie
Aly

Jacoby will make the finals, and I think Zendaya will too. It's between Kellie and Aly for the final spot - I think it could go either way.

Thanks soupy finding it very bitty to get whole of results show, Elena has put some up, anyone looking a bit later may have to do a bit of searching, as new vids are added and these move to another page.

Maks is also dancing with Jacoby Jones!
http://theclicker.today.com/_news/20...ldnt-come-back

"Maks and Anna Trebunskaya are coming in to help me out," continued Val. "Maks is not only dancing with me, but also Jacoby Jones."

Jones' partner is Maks' former fiancée, Karina Smirnoff, but Val says it won't be an issue when the formerly engaged duo shares the dance floor.

"It was a terrible breakup, but that's water under the bridge," says the younger Chmerkovskiy of the couple's 2009 split. "That was a long time ago."

Oh wow , Oh No , why are the producers doing this . Good TV I guess.

I understand everyone is a pro and have to act professionally but how awkward

It was especially funny and great to see Val and Karina dance last night considering that he did a song years ago (he is a songwriter and rapper lol ) where he " dissed " Karina for what she did to his brother . Time really flies and people do change I guess . It was well known on the old dwts boards.

Thanks Karma

The blind girl's dance with Derek was very touching.
The man in Bruno's head is very shiny.
The dance with Val and Karina was very short.

Not sure if this has been posted already. Apologies if so.

Some of the comments can be a bit snarky, but overall not bad.

Val likened Maks dancing with Karina to how he performs with young Zendaya. “Everybody is like, she’s 16, and [the Argentine tango] is a passionate dance. Look, I’m passionate about dance and she’s passionate about dance and when we dance together, we love it. It’s the same thing with them.”


Here is the whole interview of Val :

If I hear once again she is only 16 ....Geeeez I didnt know that Im going to scream . Seriously though the poor girl might become so self conscious because of it smh and she hasnt even danced the rumba , salsa, chacha YET .I watched season 8 where Shawn Johnson danced and she was 6 months older than Z at the time but I dont recall the show and everyone reminding everyone for 5 or 7 times during 1 episode that she is only 17.They usually said she is our youngest contestant ever and thats it but with Z its she is only 16 ... wait did you know she is only 16 ? And oh if you didnt know she is only 16...Is it because she is so good, the one to beat or act very mature for her age ? I dont know .

She is hardworking, a very good performer plus an actress so let her just dance....

It certainly was soupy, she danced beautifully.

Think the man in Bruno's head was a toned down version

L & V looking a bit glum.

Some nice photos from Week 2 behind the scenes with hair and make-up they are a bit slow to put the pics up.

Gleb married !!! News to me. His wife, Elena Samodanova danced the same series as Gleb, her first series. She left the competition in week 4, when her celeb partner retired due to injury. I remember some of our judges giving her a hard time, in regards to teaching her celeb. I felt the language barrier was a problem as well. I just know I felt uncomfortable they way she was spoken to. Somehow, I don't think either Gleb or Elena will return to our DWTS.

Not surprised that Lisa has been eliminated. Deep down I hoped DL would be booted, but he is getting the Cheryl vote, sadly.

Have enjoyed catching up with all the news. Thanks to everyone for the links, you are brilliant

Lol! I think he's deliberately discreet - he must think it will harm the brand! . (There was something in a link I posted to that effect - I'll repost if I can find it). There's also a wedding photo on his fb page (tho' I would have been hard pressed to identify it as being Elena)

ETA - here it is...

5 things to know about Gleb

Hi sunshine

When I came across footage of Elena and Gleb together, she was looking at him, but he was focused on the camera and one point looked like he was ignoring her, which I thought was a bit odd. From what he said, makes me wonder if he likes to keep quiet about it, he said he only mentions it when asked.

Was she a poor teacher then, Gleb said Lisa, has softened him up, from being a strict Russian teacher, to having a laugh.

Aww - that's cute! It's taken me a while to come round to these two (just as they seem to be next for the chopping block ). He's not a great dancer, I'm not sure she's a great choreographer (yet), but I feel as if he's committed to the process and they've created a good bond between them, which counts for a lot.


Wahooo!! Finally, all the bits...

Week 4 - results show - part 1

Week 4 - results show - Part 2

(Val making himself taller than Zendaya in the Skybox )

Week 4 - results show - part 3

I am no dance expert. Elena had a "poor" student in Shannon Noll. He was not a natural dancer, but he had a musical background. Go figure. I do think the communication was a problem. She was very unlucky to get a "non-dancer" in her first series. Found this YT clip of Elena and Shannon dancing a Foxtrot. Training, dance and scores are included. Judges comments come in around 5.25. Gleb appears in the video too...

Gleb married 6 years, he looks so young, and dare I say it, Elena looks older than him

Gosh, these Russian dancers leave home so young to pursue their dream of dancing. Hats off to them, they are amazing at their craft...

probably . Didnt he say during the second show that he already had 5 marriage proposals ? lol. Only the 2nd show , I cant even imagine how many he has received now
