Freudian slip - I mean Maks and Anna




Lili - have you abandoned us?
Would be nice to hear what you think so far

I've been watching some of the footage on the news - quite horrific. Such indiscriminate hatred.

Thanks for all the links

Starting watching vts, got to agree Jacoby is flat footed, pigeon toed and his bum is still sticking out, he tips forward when he dances but he got 9's. A technician he is not, and he won't listen to Len, giving him pointers, he needs to work on, to improve, he just talks over him, rude. He has got personality and performance though and seems to ride along with that.

Ingo barely any cha cha content.

Aly did well with only one little slip.

Victor improved on last week, but distracted by the cheating girlfriend.

Totally awful.

kk = Okay

Karina does an amazing jive shame it was with Jacoby

Aly, Kellie and Zendaya are the top 3 for me this series. I just hope they can keep the standard up.

I watched this AT again this morning and its on constant repeat ; Z can sell a dance like no other...arghhh so amazing the choreo, music, lighting, maks and val, anna

Puredwts the comments, the anger
Abc message boards she is a ringer, she is too young, she shouldnt be on the show blah blah blah too funny

Louis Van Amstell along with co-blogger Sabrina on Week 5

Louis on DL: It was a lot of walking, but it was done with conviction. Hahaha! Talk about finding the positive

I miss Lili too. I do hope she's ok.

I like Jacoby & his relationship with Karina. They make me smile. He needs to start improving his technique ASAP.

Aly did well. She's beginning to blossom.

Kellie did well with lots in hold.

I liked the side by side twist this week.

Zen & Val. It was good but not quite wow.

I want DL to go. I just can't warm to him at all.

Sean did his best dance so far but he'g got a lot of work to do. What had Peta done to her hair?

-Jacoby jive was so sloppy, didnt point his feet during the kicks , was pigeon-toed and it was so noticeable last night but it was so entertaining which brings Mark, Val , Derek point of previous weeks that as long as the male celebrity is entertaining on the floor and charismatic the technique goes out of the window for the judges . Had it been Aly, Z or Kellie who performed like that they would have been hammered with the scores : double standards .....sigh but what can we do ? He will probably get the encore tonight even if I think that Maks/Val/Anna/Z deserve the encore.

Best show of the season : Pleasantly surprised to see that this Len side by side challenge worked . You can tell that the celebs benefitted of the different pros's inputs.

-Anna is such a gorgeous and passionate dancer on that dancefloor I hope she is back next season . That little AT that she did with Maks at the beginning and that lift before Val and Z joined them arghhhhhhhhhhhhh GORGEOUS
-Oh my .....I was so happy and proud of Sean he did so well his best dance yet ; I relaly enjoyed it. Peta's pants and haircut were a bit distracting , just awful
-DL was pratically walking during that tango
-Second-hand embarrassment at Ingo's chacha it was bad and he is very forgettable.
-Victor is lovely but it was meh and whats up with the creepy mannequins ?
-I love how Z AT was so so passionate, kind of sexy, but still it didn't look weird, it was done in a tasteful manner . I dont know how Val does it with the choreo but it was so on point. I was worried that he might sacrifice the passion but nope it was there. I cant stress this enough Z will make a very good actress in the future; she sells every dance and is so on character. Disney doesnt deserve her imo. I watched her show with my sister and it doesnt do any justices to her talent. Plus she is not even a hardcore hip hop dancer she just learn the choreography really well. Trust me the dancing that she does on her show isn't even that good .
So I dont really like this " ringer " label because its not really true. She is just so good at picking up choreo easily and getting into character imo.

She has the IT factor, like Anna and other pros have said in the past : you can teach someone all the dance steps but you cant really teach performance. So comparing her to the other " ringers " Nicole, Mya, sabrina, chelsie, she is so much better imo because of how she performs; she is right up there and even better than Nicole in that aspect.

-Aly ..sigh... I know she is doing her best but she is no Shawn. She is starting to loosen up a bit but she still looked at times hesitant on the dancefloor. And that hairography was an epic fail because her hair got into her face and it threw her off for a few seconds; that 9 from Bruno was generous imo.

-Genius Derek frustrated with Kellie in rehearsals deja-vu. Well it was a stunning routine . Kellie's musicality is great and I have to say Derek always choreograph good foxtrots. 27 was well-deserved, well done for her 1st ballroom dance.
Btw I wonder what he will do with someone like Wynona, Cloris, Wendy who pratically had no sense of rythm he will probably explode

Oh and happy to see Maks back

Annie Barrett's re-cap of the show

Lol liking this pic from the article, Tris looks bemused.

Thanks Karma A for the many links

Louis and Sabrina Bryan review of the show

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertai...log-on-week-5/

Thanks for the twitpics Karma. They're a very toothsome lot aren't they? (some of those pics are scary!). Tristan's 'faces' are great

I have just noticed how peta always look so proud at Val and Z performances . You can tell her and the brothers get along very well .

Best episode in a while!!!!!!!! I enjoyed all the dances .... I hope DL goes but it will probably be Victor or Andy going.

Only watched Z and Val so far, but OMG that was amazing. Sorry to bring it up again but she's only 16. I'm a dancer but I don't think I was fully able to deliver that passion at her age. Remarkable! It's amazing how quick a learner she is, fully deserving of the 10s.

Think it'll be Victor to go tonight, against DL. Have a feeling Ingo will be staying a bit longer to his soap opera fanbase.

Incredible isnt it ? She really is so passionate on that dancefloor. I wasnt like that at that age; She dances with a maturity which is beyond her years, amazing. That dance was so so so passionate, I love it. The choreography was amazing, everything was perfect, arghhh and the ending...Love it

Maks told her to stop breaking Val's neck .

And Z's nails , I dont know how Val manages it. When Val said in the VT put your hand on my face the whole time I was thinking what if those nails poke his eye . They really are long and pretty but too long.

I love how Z parents are always clapping so loud and ecstatic each week for Z , you can tell they are very proud of her and should be . Her dad even shed some tears last night https://twitter.com/DayaObsessed/sta...621888/photo/1 , her mom was jumping up and down and hugging everyone after the 10s

He always makes me smile

Apparently according to Shirley Ballas the final this year will have 4 celebrities like SCD.... Thoughts?

oh nooooo, they really are trying to get Aly to the final, arent they ? I dont like this idea and if Shirley said that then its most likely true because she is very reliable, she works with the show and coached at least 80% of the pro dancers on the show.

Sigh.....not loving this idea. So will we have a double elimination later or not ?

The more I see some of those changes the more I think that they really are making it harder for Z or val to win .

Val definetely has a big disadvantage going to the finals. He doesnt have a lot of experience with freestyles and his freestyle last year with kelly was crap so...I hope that he steps it up this time with Z otherwise Derek or Karina are going to win again.
