Kellie looks more like a female version of Derek every week

Their haircuts are quite similar, they seem to be well matched in height, weight and sense of humour etc. Morphing into each other with Derek impersonating Kellie's accent too

When her hair was long is softened her look, know she shaved it in solidarity for her friend, and she reminds me a bit of a pixie with it short.

This is the first season where I really paid attention to Val : his choreo and personality...I think he will probably goes down as one of the pros that I like depending of who is partner is.
He is so likeable this season with Z but Im pretty sure that the next seasons it will be showmances and what not . which will go back to me disliking him again. Urghh dont even get me started on his last season .

Thats why as annoying as Derek or Mark can be sometimes ( well to me anyways ), I love the fact that they always remain professional every season (the Shannon/Sabrina showmances do not count because they were just starting out and I think they learned their lessons ) on the show : they create memorable routines, no showmances, great chemistry with their partners .... ........get their job done and do it well .

I dont really care for showmances or manufactured drama so I give props to the Golden Boys for remaining professionals after being on the show for a long time now.

I wished they wouldnt put her in awful wigs weeks after weeks. Her short hair is gorgeous, it looks great on her. Or they should just put a wig that looks good on her; what she had last week was an atrocity (like she jokingly said when interviewed after her dance, I thought it would fly out during the dance ) .

From this article seems Victor is realistic about how long he will last on DWTS. Interesting to hear what he has to say about training, think we saw his frustrations in the training room.

Sean and Andy have a samba for both routines tonight overkill much?

Ridiculous, what's the point in that I want to see the different ballroom dances, not the same old same old Think DWTS have lost the plot abit.

wow at that article; thanks for the link Karma A .
I will hazard a guess that his pro partner is not also making this experience " easy " for him. Im sure she is a very lovely person but imo they are not well-matched personality wise. I dont see that much chemistry between them. They look good together but thats about it. Most of the stars actually look forward to training even if they are bad dancers.

Inspire of the age difference Zen and Val actually have a lot in common. They both work hard , are extremely focused and driven as people.

Kellie and Derek : perfectly matched : cute, funny, goofy, hardworking...they just seem to be on the same wavelength imo.

-Jacoby and Karina : 2 strong-willed individuals who know what they want and how to go after it. Work hard and enjoy their experience on the show imo ...

-Andy and Sharna : perfect pairing..

I thought it was only Sean
If what you said is true then poor guys, its going to be a trainwreck

They usually assign more Latin dances than usual when a singer is coming and will be performing live for the couples.
The same thing happened during Motown Week in season 14 : too many latin dances.

With DWT's budget you would think they could afford something less cheap and nasty, very acrylic looking. I thought it suited Julz though

Talking of hair Facebook pics from hair and make-up they are quite slow but I like to see photos behind the scenes even if it is from a few weeks ago

thats a lot of make-up right there , wow lol.

I'd hazard a guess that it's not all down to Lindsay, think as he struggles to understand, get dancing techniques etc he seems to have lost some momentum and run out of a bit of steam. That was what showed at first, he was saying he would win the show, but the reality bit him on the bum and it's been a lot harder for him than he thought. That's not to say he doesn't give it a good try and throws himself into it, but think he is realistic about his capabilites.

Think they went to town on Wynonna with the colour palette.

They have to be strong colours for the studio lights don't they, very bright.

Not sure if its been posted but if anyone is interested these are Val's most played songs ...https://twitter.com/iamValC/status/3...454848/photo/1

Thanks for the links everyone especially the Tristan stuff

Dance order so far

1st Zendaya
2nd Andy
3rd Sean
4th Aly

No word on Ingo, Victor,Kelly and Jacoby yet.

Thanks sweetmiss.

Since Zen is going 1st , Im assuming team Paso will probably dance 1st....damm it I wanted them to close the show.

Btw today is Ingo's birthday, he turns 42 .

Stevie Wonder in the Ballroom

Btw I wonder.... whatever happened to the show 300th episode that they were supposed to do this week . No one even talk about that anymore

Hoping for a great QS from Kellie.
Cha cha should be good, too.
Jacoby and Aly both have ballroom. Both could be great or really underwhelming. I hope they're great - we need them to be challenging K and Z!

What happens with the team challenge? Will the winners all get 5 bonus points? If the paso wins, as seems likely, that could save Victor and put the kibosh on Andy ....

My own pick to go would be Ingo (or Sean, although Sean seems to have a tiny bit more potential to improve), but I'm expecting Andy and Victor in the bottom two with Victor leaving. I hope to be surprised! In all honesty, so long as the person leaving comes from these four from now on, I'm not too worried about the order they leave. Andy and Sharna entertain me more, but the dancing isn't getting any better

Really hope the judges pick up their game too - none of this 'well, ya come ahht and ya give it yer all', so here's an 8 or a 9 malarky
