Derek's blog (After week 8)

Mark's blog

LOL your probs right.

Yeye I agree this final will be one of the best, not like past seasons where there was an obvious winner. I did not like what SCD did with the 4 person final not announcing 3rd and 2nd place. Its what more peeps where bothered about more over who won

I wonder if SCD will keep the 4 person final for our season :/

I didn't like it on Strictly, though I could see why they wanted to do it (and not just to help someone out ), but it meant each dancer did fewer dances and it felt unresolved.

It really did because I especially like to know who ends up 3rd or 4th.

Gleb's had a haircut
Important news.

Kym and Ingo Charlestoning

Jacoby and Karina doing press ups
Don't think that's a clue to their other dance..

Aly does the splits, Mark not so easy

It's a 'C' for Charleston. Apparently.

Thanks to everyone for the links

Semi Finals is almost upon us So, we still don't know what other dance Jacoby and Karina have....oh well, we shall soon find out

Hope everyone is well

My predictions for tonight show :
-Top of the leaderboard 1) Team Pickler with a 30 for AT and 29(30) for the Flamenco. Both of these dances are excellent for them. Derek does a mean AT, I mean there is no way that dance is not going to get a 30, no way! I dont really see them getting anything below a 58 tonight.

2)Z and Val 29 with their QS and 27 for their hip hop; I doubt they will see 10s with that hip hop routine, they are going to be hosed down by the judges tonight and tbh I have really low expectations for that routine but I expect their QS to be brilliant.

3)I still dont know what dances Jacoby has, but I think that he has a good chance of getting a 29 or close to perfect score tonight; go figure lol

4)Meh Aly has the rumba and Afro-dance and going from what I read already, the latter will probably be really controversial and of course the judges are going to lavish that routine with praise

5) And of course at the bottom of the leaderboard Ingo and Kym

This is really a no-brainer but I think that Ingo is going home tomorrow. I wonder who they are going to put in the jeopardy box tomorrow maybe this time it will be Zendaya , Im sure it will be her ; she hasnt been there yet
And this will be a very bad idea because this show dont want to mess up with her fans, they will vote even harder for her next week to make sure that she wins .(which will turn out to be good because I want her to win of course). So as " evil " as this may be , I want TPTB to put Z and Val in " jeopardy " tomorrow

AccessHollywood interviewed Aly & Mark in rehearsal studios.

Think this is the most animated & enthused Mark has been in interview this season, he's obviously enjoying the freedom of African Jazz & possibly that Aly seems to be upping her performance levels & they now seem to have more of chance at making final or even winning.

Had to laugh at him describing Len as 'Grumpy Uncle' - that does sum him up quite well & was nice to hear him compliment Zendaya/Val & highlight positives in all the other couples.

BIB 1 & 2 am in total agreement especially about hip-hop,if judges are not really tough on scoring it will cause even more of backlash at Zendaya as a large majority already think she has been given unfair advantage having this style.
I also think that best thing that can happen for Zen/Val is to be underscored this week so they have best chance at wining mirrorball.

This made me laugh - know Zendaya has to have an adult with her because of age but wonder why Jacoby needs his Mum with him at rehearsals??

Apparently Karina has been rushed to hospital with a neck injury, hope she's ok to dance tonight

Yes sounded bad but just seen she's tweeted about remembering to vote tonight so am assuming she's ok to dance, really hope so & if she does that she's not taking too big a risk. http://www.people.com/people/article...699859,00.html

Well, not quite, but....



Possible whiplash and a dislocated jaw! Oy vey!
She says not dancing is not an option.

Ooo - be careful Karina . Really hope she's okay and doesn't risk too much....

Bruno's advice on their weaknesses is sound .


Thanks for the Mother's Day pics, sunshine.
(Felt a bit sad for Kellie in amongst all those ).

Bonkers Mark's been in a cupboard all season. Sounds like we might finally see him this week

I hate to be cynical but we've had so many injuries in this show over the years that its kind of hard for me to tell or believe the seriousness of the the injury. Miraculously , the dancers who are always injured gets well just in time for the dance. Please dont throw tomatoes at me , like I say Im a bit cynical and with this show its kind of hard to know whats real or fake. I hope she is okay though..

One of The only serious injury that I know from the professionals , was when Kym almost had a career ending injury in season 12 with her neck, now that was scary. Derek and his multiples neck injuries ....uhmmmm...dubious....

Per her twitter she is sore but will dance tonight and is okay.

I think the show would make anyone cynical. Generally people do get injured during the course of the show....but too many times the producers will take a minor injury and dramatize the hell out of it. "So and so stumbed their toe....will they be able to dance tonight???" It gets a bit silly. And it does make it difficult to tell when someone is for real injured or if it's show drama.

I will say that Karina doesn't really play that drama game so I think this is legit. Also the fact that she is tweeting that she is ok and will dance...she is not trying to drag out the drama. Glad she is okay.

Setup for Zendaya and Val's dance

Oh Lord, WTH

BIB Thanks for understanding, I thought for sure I was going to get some grief for what I said but its true though; this show can make anyone more cynical especially when you watched it for a long time .
And I agree with your last paragraph, Karina doesnt always play that drama game so Im pretty sure it must be legit. So Im glad that she will be able to dance tonight . Derek, Mark....however.....Im sure they had over-exaggerated " injuries " in the past....

How come we still dont know the dance order of the couples tonight

Bit like we still dont know what Jacoby/Karina 1st dance is - all this secrecy worries me, makes me think what producers up to this week.
