As predicated Derek's pulled a Tony...

His tweets
Our freestyle is SEE BENEATH YOUR BEAUTIFUL . I wanted to show Kellie in her entirety , raw and vulnerable . So proud of what this (cont…

…cont) country girl has accomplished .

I love that song...

Huge gamble and Im sure it will pay off but hopefully NOT with a win.
C.A said it best the other day, the point about the FS is about doing something different, something that people didnt expect you to do : that's how you will get the most votes for being unique .I can already see the judges praising him for being a genius
Looks like he learned something from last season good for him. Hopefully Val WOW us with the FS.

But this season you could do Contemporary so I dont get what's special about it being a freestyle dance.... Maybe because Carrie Anne said Kellie doesnt connect emotionally?

probably and she doesn't imo.

Z's interview. Better late than never and I think it was from 4 or 5 weeks ago.

I must say that Val looks Amazing

I guess it was the same day as the AH one.
Its really commendable to see how she is serious about being a role model for kids.
I wouldn't want that at that age, too much responsibility.
That interview just highlighted once again at how Z is good at keeping her emotions in while Val easily show his emotions.

At Val saying that he knows that Z is also very stressed because she mostly want to win this for him

That is the gamble....for a couple of reasons:
1. If she gets tense or looses the emotional connection in that dance and doesn't sell it....then it won't work.
2. This is a risk on Derek's part because (for me anyway) I haven't felt an emotional connection in any of their dances. To expect her to suddenly pull that off at the finale....while be stressed with learning other dances is...alot. Literally to pull off that dance with that song....it will ALL be about emotional connection otherwise it will fall flat.
3. Note that I think that her A. Tango was her best dance. I didn't feel an emotional connection in the dance though. I think Derek was clever to set the "mood" or "emotion" by set design and silhouette. The beauty of that dance was her lines & flexibility not necessarily her connection with Derek.

My view on this is that he's going all out to please judges & it will all be about Kellies fabulous legs/lines which is where she excels & possibly she's struggling with fatigue & having QS & ChaCha plus 4th dance on Tues Derek playing safe & hoping his fans will buy the sympathy cards he's playing this week
(1) Poss neck probs in his Blog
(2) Maybe last season
(3) Amount tweets gushing about Kellie when he's never really done this before
(4) Trying to be a purist as he knows other couples will be going OTT
Or am i just bias & too cynical

Love it & dogs have great instincts!!

Nice that he's meeting lots people in her life - bodes well for them staying close & possibly working together again.
PS Val always looks amazzzzzing!!!

Great to see these two back on form in interviews, one minute tugging at our heartstrings with their honest & heartfelt views & the next making us LOL at their brotherly.sisterly banter.

Really hope they'll be on few TV shows after Tues show together as i'm really going to miss them.

I must be cynical too because I feel the same way.

Trying to play the purist card is interesting. If their freestyle is basically a regular week contemporary dance.....while everyone has a supersized freestyle.... means it will be different in a good way.....or not exciting enough to stand out. We shall see.

Also it's quite funny he's playing the purist card....when his MO has always been about the supersized freestyle. The true purist is Val....who is going the supersized route because that's what the producers/judges want for the finale.

OMG Val has done it again, the way he speaks/writes with such passion just makes me so emotional & i think its great that he's laying it all out so clearly how much Zendaya is putting in & struggles she has with workload.
Of course the Uber derek fans already complaining about Val saying its the right time for him to win & that he expects it just coz he hasnt already won - as always they read what they want to see!

Lets us be cynical together then because thats what I also think. Glad that Im not the only one.

Val....just ....just no words

Here We Go !!!!!!!! Go Z And Val, Show Them What You've Got !!!

Oh wow Val is really injured but he is dancing

Great night. ....off to go vote see u guys in the a.m
