If it were my job to allocate the dances to make the best, most balanced show (rather than helping my favourite ), I might pick...

Disco - Aly
Even though I really like Aly and really hate disco, I think all that shimmying is right up her street

Flamenco - Zendaya
The flamenco parts were the best bits of her paso and it needs someone who can hit the punctuation points

Lindyhop - Jacoby
He loves to jive and this is like a relaxed jive where his technique wouldn't matter so much, plus he could throw Karina around and do his jumps

Hip-hop - Kellie
I think Derek is one of the pros who wouldn't look silly doing hip hop. I don't know if it's really up Kellie's street, but she's fairly versatile.

Charleston - Ingo
It's more of a character dance, so as an actor he should be okay with it and he's strong enough to do the lifts. I'm not sure if he's goofy enough (Jacoby certainly would be, but I'm convinced about him being a match for lindy ). Ingo might just be able to pull off flamenco...

Afro-Jazz - Sean
More a question of what's left and what would suit Peta than thinking this is Sean's dance. I don't think he has the lines for flamenco, he's not funky enough for lindy and I think he'd be embarrassed doing Charleston. I suppose he might make an okay job of disco. Maybe.

You could easily swap Kellie and Z, though that would be a bit obvious (Zendaya's experience and Kellie's great lines and shapes), but I have a feeling hip hop might not suit Val as much as Derek.

The better dancers could obviously do any of the genres, but if you had to get the best mix overall, who would you choose?

Not a fan of this twitter stuff and choosing a dance.

I'm more of a traditionalist by nature, and I'd love them all to have solid foundation in the classic 'ten dance' - i.e the 5 main ballroom and latin. Case in point for Zendaya. No guarantee her other unlearned dance if she makes the semis will be a ballroom which leaves her only have learnt the viennese waltz and foxtrot for that discipline!!!

I agree with pretty much all your choices but tbh I cant see Ingo or Sean pulling any of those routines off . I would love to see Z do the Flamenco. Like you, I really loved the flamenco section in her Paso and I would love to see her do a full flamenco routine plus she is a fantastic actress on the dancefloor so that should be good. But they will probably choose Hip-hop ....sigh.......oh well....

It was rumored that there were going to have this format 2 weeks ago (In fact Val even talked about it and a few other pros ) then I wonder what happened. My suspicion is that they brought it back especially for Z and Val so they avoid the rumba , which they will.

If Zendaya does dodge the rumba, I hope she gets QS and not tango. I know tango is not paso or AT, but there are similarities and we've seen those. There also wasn't much in hold in her VW. At least in QS they stay in hold and we could see if she can ballroom dance (and QS is my fave ).

As for their foxtrot, I predict wafting

ETA: if I've understood Derek's blog correctly, the ballroom dances this week are really short (he says theirs is 1min 6"), so the very little ballroom we do get, is looking a bit token...

....unless there's a reason only his and Kellie's is shorter

Bizarre . Lately, I have been really confused with everything that is going on with this show

Not sure powering through with back injury is wise, makes me think its not as bad as was first thought & is it just me but seems he's possibly more interested in promoting his music slot at club Mon night than DWTS, he plugs it every week!!

Not just you . Even when he had that injury , he still went after the show to play in the club like he always does. I have this impression that he is not as interested in the show or really passionate about it like he used to be. It seems to be be going just through the motions.
Not everyone can make it . You can be a very talented musician but not become the next Justin Timberlake or Usher..... He really is a talented musician ; I bought his CD a couple of months ago and I was so glad that I did but I dont really see him succeed in that career path honestly
Derek understood it a long time ago and let it go but Mark just keep going, good luck to him though .

Heard about Andy getting eliminated

Would rather Ingo have left he has no presence on the dancefloor.

I think I still want Z to win. With maybe Kellie as my 2nd choice if Z fails. Anyone but Jacoby ATM.

I think that couples will take on either the tango OR argentine tango but not both and that waltz has been dropped all together. It has been on the decline in recent seasons.

Semi-Finals possibly will look like this in my opinion

Zendaya-Quickstep & Hip-Hop
Sean-Paso Doble & Charleston
Ingo-Samba & Flamenco
Kellie-Argentine Tango & Afro-Jazz
Aly-Paso Doble & Disco
Jacoby-Tango & Lindy Hop

BIB Same but if Z doesnt win then I want Jacoby to win (which will probably happen ) . He is growing on me and most importantly I dont want Derek to win a 4th time , Geeez !!! I swear if he wins, Im done with this show or hopefully he will leave !!!

For me its either Z, Jacoby or Aly for the win.

Well, Z's my first choice for winner too but my second choice would be Aly. I actually really like her! After Aly, it's Jacoby, and then, it's [don't shoot me] Kellie - because a season where Sean or Ingo won would be just. so. dull.

Isn't there 4 in the final this season, though? Presuming so, it'll be Z, Aly, Kellie and Jacoby.

If they do it like on Strictly (I hope they don't) and only announce 1st and 4th with joint runners-up, I could see Aly coming 4th and Jacoby coming 1st with Kellie and Z left in 'joint 2nd'.

Also- how has Sean made it this far? I'd actually have preferred Andy - heck, even Victor - ahead of him at this stage.

Hurrah! Thanks

Assuming the final four are the ones everyone expects, I don't mind which of the girls wins. Nothing against Jacoby and Karina - I quite enjoy them - but I don't think his dancing is technically good enough to be the champ. I wouldn't choose a great technician who couldn't sell a dance over him, but I do think he should be at a better level by now.

Whichever of the girls performs best in the final will be fine, but if I had to pick one, just now it would be Kellie. I couldn't care less that Derek has won so many already - if they deserve it, they deserve it (and if they don't, they don't ).

Agree with what Shirley Ballas said and think it could be a great final with everyone deserving to be there.

I'd like it to be Kellie first, Zendaya second then Aly and then Jacoby, but I'm expecting Zendaya first, then Jacoby followed by Kellie and then Aly.



A great freestyle from any of them could completely change my mind!!

@Zendaya I think I need your votes more. Can u just have all your fans votes for me this week and u can havem back next week. I promise


Awwwww this made me chuckled . Poor Ingo . He needs those votes though . The Bachbot aka Sean Sean might outlast him this week. It will be interesting to see who the judges or TPTB throw under the bus tonight : him or Sean. My guess is Ingo.

At least he knows he's not best/most popular & can laugh about it, makes me warm to him a bit more than Sean who really loves himself way too much!!

Think i am getting more & more cynical & un-trusting when celebs protest too much about rumours like with Sean & Peta, obviously PR people co-ordinating interviews!!!

I'd say Kym was stupid to not take Cheryl for their trio if she had the choice as she & Ingo need the help more than Jacoby/Karina & Lindsay just isnt in same calibre.
