Interesting mix of responses so far, although i think theres few from its rival PureDWTS comments on there too.

In my book she didnt deserve to be top of leaderboard & i think judges do favour her partner 99% the time.

Im not really sure she is pulling the votes like lets say Z and Jacoby.

Oh Im glad that many people are starting to notice the obvious favoritism that TPTB and judges have towards Derek !!!
I will be pissed if he wins this season. At least give it to Jacoby.

How is Z a spoiled and arrogant brat .....sigh......SMH

Annie's recap of last night show

http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/dancing...nge-season-16/

I love her recaps , so funny , my favorite quote : " Val was just happy to not have to do the rumba this week. He seems to think that as soon as he does the bedroom dance with a 16-year-old, he'll be arrested on the spot "

BIB That was my main reason for sharing when i read comments i was surprised at mix of stupidity/hatred & people obviously beginning to open eyes to judges bias.

yep the audience isnt always naive TPTB especially when we have been watching this show for a long time . As usual Derek ALWAYS gets the AT for the semi-final and the Paso as well (week 8 and week 9 ) . 2 dances in which he always choreographs beautifully. Coincidence ? I think not. I predicted this at the beginning of the season. I would really be pissed if I was a pro on the show and see the obvious favoritism that the producers and judges have for the Golden Boys (Mark and Derek ). Sure they are good, but they are making this too easy for them.

Out of all the couples remaining Kellie has the most crowd pleasing routines left.
For the Latin , Z has the rumba and salsa left. I dont know how the salsa is going to work next week ( Im sure thats what they are going to have) . She is so tall so how is Val going to lift her and throw her around ? Or maybe he will mostly concentrate on underarm passes ? I guess we will see.

Thanks fridgesoup, the full clips are now uploaded

IMO, I think too many 10's were given out by the judges. No dance was a perfect 10. Thought there were too many rumbas in one night !!

Thought the immunity thing worked well in the end. I think all were happy with the way it worked. It was a great tactical move for Aly/Mark. Of course they were going to get the points over Andy/Sharna.

Zendaya/Val v Jacoby/Karina, I loved this. Loved the rapport between them all. Jacoby is entertaining, but Zendaya had the technical edge.

Ingo/Kym v Sean/Peta, to me, they were on a par in my untrained view Happy that Ingo got the points though.

Feel for Andy at this time. I have loved his "journey" on the show and Sharna has been a breath of fresh air this season. I think he knows his time is up.

ps Thanks to all for the links etc

BS about Jacoby being in jeopardy. TPTB are desperately trying to make this season less predictable . I found it odd that they call Z and Val at the same time with them . I just thought uhmmm something unexpected is going to happen and I said to myself now they wouldn't dare put Z in jeopardy, would they ? Im glad they didnt. Anyways still 30 min left but Im sure Jacoby is safe .

I dont find his mom antics cute, I mean it was cute at the beginning but now its getting really annoying (to the point where its influencing the judges; I even heard Len said tonight is it too late to change the scores ? after Jacobys dance ) . She needs to sit down !!!

Btw with him being in jeopardy this week is going to make people vote harder for him (as if he needed this ) so one of the other 3 (Allie, Z or Kellie ) might suffer from this and find themselves in jeopardy next week

Agree, total BS re Jacoby being in jeopardy....it is ABC playing games.......I am surprised that Ingo is in jeopardy though

All I can do is shake my head at the manipulation in this show...SMH and SMH....

Awwwww Andy, I was a little teary-eyed
Sharna is a keeper , what a class act

He is the biggest winner of this season imo because he gained so much more on a personal level so he should be very proud of himself. Damm you Carrie Ann for giving him that 5 !!!
When they showed a shot of his daughter in the audience her head was shaking so bad in a weird way as if she was having a mild seizure, what was going

And I still dont understand how people vote so much for Sean and Peta.
Ingo being in the bottom 2 ? Im not surprised. He is too forgettable.

Now the competition is starting to heat up . Im really looking forward to next week dances.

Oh and I was really surprised at Mark and Aly getting the encore. Doesnt he have a problem with his back ? Or did it miraculously heal in less than 24 hours ? I thought for sure that Kellie and Derek were finally going to get the encore or TPTB are waiting to give them one once they performed the AT and Paso

Andy was the right choice for this week.....he has had the "journey" on the show. Let's hope he can keep his life on a positive path....

Getting very interesting now......still surprised Sean is still in and as for Ingo, I have always liked him and look forward to his dances.....each to their own. It is all in the eye of the beholder.....

Im really hoping Z gets Maks for the trio challenge next week but I wouldn't count on that.


I know Tony is one of Val's BFF but for goodness sake please dont pick him Val . I like Tony, I really do but he wouldn't be the right choice.
Maybe Tristan, Gleb, Henry.... but No to Tony. I cant wait to hear the interviews to see who is dancing with who .

I do understand Sean appeal though, he is awkwardly charming and Ingo is just so forgettable, he simply doesn't connect. Kym doesnt seems to be her usual self this season.

Okay I need someone to rewatch or watch the results show tonight and tell me if they didn't find Andy's daughter reaction weird ? She was twitching, like she was in trance or had a seizure. Was it my tv or maybe I was just seeing things

Jeopardy and elimination

Valdaya Solo Foxtrot and Salsa with Gleb.

Great dances for them.

Be interesting to see how Gleb dances with a younger celeb too! I'm sure Z's salsa will be great, and I personally thought her paso was undermarked by 1 - 2 points.

Aly leaves me cold. It had a lot of recognisable salsa content but I always find Mark goes way overboard at times. Same with Kellie - everything is very precise and movements are hit but I feel no warmth from her. Hopefully Z can top the leaderboard next week or the week after. Reemerge once more!

I hated the immunity win. It is obvious the top scorers aka the Darlings of DWTS would get it. So transparent. None of the potential winners would even be in "true" jeopardy anyway.

I hope they go to once per season now and maybe have 16 teams. The show is gtetting too gimmicky, I know they want to 'up the ante' each season, but do a Hustle or Charleston.,lol. At least they have not done that Fusion crap yet.

I thnk it was shameful for mark to choose competing against andy.

I'm liking Val this season and am sort of rooting for him. Just a bit tired of the Mark and Derek show.

my rant for the season ,


Len was joking. She's not influencing any votes,

I know but she is still annoying

Gorgeous pic of the female finalists

They all look gorgeous but I think there is too much Photoshop going on with Aly's face which makes her face look a bit awkward to me in that pic and Kellie's dress is too, too plain; Z's hair is weird lol. But nice pic

I cant believe Sean said that !!! (and to think that I was starting to like him ) ; I know its kind of true but I would have loved to see Andy stay another week over him or Ingo. At least Andy was entertaining and had a great personality.
Between the I thought we deserved 9s and this comment....my my.... my he really has delusions of grandeur doesn't he ? Maybe he really thinks that he can make it to the final !!! He needs to go next week !!!

I thought exactly the same why would judges request Mark to dance again when he was in so much pain Mon night he couldnt do press line - something smells fishy to me.

Sean is obviously getting the Bachelor fans vote as he's definitely not getting it from dance fans & IMO he's not exactly a hunk to get excited over so its real puzzle how he's still there. At first i just found him bland & boring but no he's becoming so smug & reminds me a little of a certain blond male pro-dancer.
