Shocked Randy gone home. Oh well.
I loved Janel's performance. It was amazing. I found Michael good this week TBH and I found he tried hard. Tommy was MASSIVELY overscored. I mean seriously, guest judges and all that but giving him at 10 is just a disgrace to the scoring process. Utter madness. |

,I am a new poster but I do love this show, warts and all. I've been watching since season 1 when Tom had all dark hair. ...
![]() I wasn't surprised about Randy leaving he had a tough night last week and the low scores this week cemented his fate. Really Michael is the poorest dancer out there, but he has Nascar votes and that will keep him on long after better ones will go. I thought Janel and Val had the show stopping routine last evening, and they deserved their scores. |

Sadie and Mark must be killing it in the votes
![]() ; That's the only explanation I have for the blatant underscoring (in comparison to the others couples ) that they're subjected to for the 2nd week in a row !!!Witney and Alfonso as well even though I thought his Qs was ok. That only makes fans vote HARDER judges !!!! Lea and Artem are slowly starting to fade in the background while Allison and Jonathan are slowly starting to emerge as fan favorites. I still can't connect to Janel. I'm starting to connect with Bethany. BOTH jazz numbers weren't worth 10s !!!!! BLASPHEMY !!!Especially when they were riddled with a few mistakes ![]() It's quite interesting to me that even with a VW, Sadie and Mark are once again the MOST watched dances this week on 3 different YouTube channels despite 2 flashy jazz numbers

There is NO elimination this week
![]() You are from Slovenia!?! Wow, tickled to see you here! All our relatives on our father's side are from Slovenia, many of them still there. It is so gorgeous that our college-age nephew keeps begging his Dad to buy property in Slovenia so he can move there! He thinks it's much nicer than California, or anywhere in the U.S. I can't disagree. A big thanks to edy10 for the Facebook updates. I can't be bothered to look myself but appreciate the information! |

#DWTS Stats
@DancingABCStats Most views for Week 3 on @DancingABC (ABCDWTS) YouTube Channel: 1) #TeamQuackAttack (87k) 2) #TeamMotough (56k) 3) #TeamJanelskiy (39k) And Another 1) #TeamQuackAttack (485K) 2) #TeamMotough (68K) 3) #TeamJanelskiy (52K) LOOK AT THE DISPARITY BETWEEN 1 AND 2 ; 1 and 3 !!!For the 3rd week in a row !!! Despite being lowballed by the judges and having a VW.......STILL KILLING IT in the Views; Despite ABC and various entertainments outlets pimping out Janel, Bethany....dances ![]() GO SADIE !!! GO MARK !!! Go Sadie !!! Go Mark !!!TEAM QUACKATTACK BABY ![]() Love them ; In rehearsals just now http://instagram.com/p/toPVE4zPOR/ And last week : http://instagram.com/p/tjgGMatVNS/ Cant wait for their Samba; According to Mark, its going really well....CANT WAIT !!! AfterBuzz Tv with special guest Toni Basil...she is so brutally honest ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjGeD...zHVQoTJt8NNMJA Cliffnotes Dont agree with the 10s. Bethany was half a beat behind Derek; Why didnt the judges mention it ? B was seen in rehearsals without her foot bandaged so why did D made sure that she had her foot bandage during the routine ? And why in Black ? Dont want her us to forget ? Milking it ? Lea is getting forgettable. Still cant connect to both B and J. Thought that Sadie did very well and that her scores were fair ![]() Tommy was the dance of the night for Anna Think that Alfonso is judged on a different standard Janel is a Jazz dancer so it was in her wheelhouse; Didnt point her feet during the lifts;They thought that the judges rewarded them for coping with a difficult week and for the production number; THEIR GUEST NEXT WEEK IS CORKY BALLAS (FOR THE FIRST TIME) !!! Very excited about that . |

The betting odds for the last two weeks had Alfonso in the lead, but this week he's slipped down to third after Janel and Bethany. Maybe that's why he thought it's time to bring out the Carlton, he's doing Jazz next week to Tom Jones "It's not unusual" that he did on The Fresh Prince of Belaire TV show. .

Love Alfonso and Witney but I really think that its a bad idea for him to bring it so soon. They should've saved it for their showdance not now BUT hey oh......shrug......
I promise y'all that when/if he did it in their showdance, he would have won SO I really don't understand why witney is revealing his iconic move now ![]() ![]() Oh and if Bethany and janel received 10s this week for their jazz numbers, then he deserves 11s or 12s for his jazz number next week , js..... |

Thanks for all the info, edy! Have you noticed a correlation between the least-viewed videos and who is eliminated?
So happy Mark has a partner tis season who not only can pick up the dances easily, but has a big fan base! Maybe he'll get that 3rd MBT! I thought Alfonoso would be a shoo-in but now I'm not so sure. It will likely come down to the freestyle. I didn't notice Janel not pointing her toes so Val will probably work on that next, but I thought she killed that routine! I am liking her more and more. Checked Bethany's routine frame by frame on TiVo to see what paople were talking about when they said she was half a step behind him. I was struck by how often they moved at precisely the same time. One could print freeze-frame photos and see just how often they were in perfect sync. Not 100% of the time but darn close, imo. She was a fraction of a second ahead of him at one point, but their feet came down at the exact same time. Derek said he bought her three different bandages and wraps for her foot. Some of those, including Nike's, come only in black. Anyone who has worn one of those foot or knee braces will tell you they have to take them off periodically or it would be intolerable. Lea's posture detracts from her dancing. Even Betsey has better posture! |

Lea's posture detracts from her dancing. Even Betsey has better posture! Yeah I thought that alfonso was a shoe-in for the WIN a few weeks ago but NOW I'm not so sure. Sadie and Bethany will more likely being in the finals . Janel ? MAYBE. History has shown that Derek and Mark are SO much better at choreographing freestyles than Val. Like you said, it will come down to the freestyle. I really think that Witney should have saved that iconic move for their showdance. Hmmm...interesting, I didn't noticed a correlation between those least amount of YouTube views videos and those who have been eliminated so far. Puredwts seems to think that Antonio, Michael, Jonathan and Lea are in danger of going home next week. I tend to agree. And I'm VERY happy and excited for Mark . He seems so happy and engaged this season; you can tell that he's really having a great time with her.Especially Pleased for him as he's my favorite male pro on the show ![]()

I've grown okay with Contemporay. Just Jazz I don't get.
Quickstep / Foxtrot are my fave dances so annoyed. ![]() ![]() I quite enjoy contemporary, too. I resent it though, because it's there at the expense of ballroom, not as an addition. Why not at the expense of some of the latins? Ah, yes because ballroom is not beautiful, it's boring and latin is fun and exciting. Yep, Michael clopping around in a samba - soooo fun and exciting!The show is trying to be too many things imo. It wants the younger viewers so we have 'exciting' latins, teenage contestants, next to no ballroom and lots of vacuous flash and noise. On the other hand they still have a majority of older contestants and viewers. There are always exceptions - young ones who are rubbish and older ones who amaze - but in general I'm finding things unfairly stacked against the older/less agile celebs. There's no guarantee an older contestant will shine in ballroom, but it's like asking them to dance with rocks in their pockets when the whole thing is geared towards faster, tricksy routines. They seem to be there for the 'awww' factor and to 'inspire' us - or as fodder for us to laugh at - while the real business is done by the 'star' pros and kids or those with a ton of dance training. I'm starting to find it rather insulting.

I've been looking up online on the american websites and seems Sadie has some haters. Cause she was on Duck Dynasty.
Bethany / Janel seem most supported. |

Also, hate to say it but call me paranoid etc but it does seem like the Derek Hough show still. Its ridiculous the partners he has gotten. While Tony given duffers each year except for Melissa. |

Fox has yanked it from Tuesday nights effective immediately. It will continue to air on lesser-watched Fridays. Call it half cancelled. Found this interesting article from way back in April before the series aired. http://www.thewrap.com/fox-utopia-si...-de-mol-clash/ "The recent hiring of “Big Brother” producer Jon Kroll as one of “Utopia's” showrunners has further increased fears that CBS will view the series as a “Big Brother” knockoff, according to one Fox insider." - Add to that Conrad executive produced the UK's Big Brother, and it obviously IS a knockoff. I did not know John de Mol produced not only Big Brother but The Voice. No wonder Conrad thought he'd struck gold. But notice in the above article how ABC got sued and had to pay CBS for mimicking Big Brother in its short-lived Glass House project, and that CBS is complaining about Fox's description of Utopia as a mixture of "Big Brother" and "Survivor," both of which CBS owns the sole rights to in the US. Speaking of Survivor, how much longer can the new guy, Simon Andrae, who greenlit this $50 million embarrassment, survive? And LOL at the new co-chairmen and CEO of Fox Television, the female half of which said Fox was happy with Utopia and were going to exercise patience. But as Nikki Finke said in David Blum's Kindle Singles web book, Nikki Finke: The Interview: "People in Hollywood, they're hlarious. You'll talk to somebody and in the first fifteen minutes they'll just be lying, lying, lying, lying, lying. And you'll let them talk. And then you finally say, "Well, I hear..." .And you almost hear the gears clicking in their brain. They're thinking, "Oh, I guess I can't lie to this person anymore because it looks like she knows stuff I didn't think she would know. So I'd better present myself in the best light." And they will, on a dime, turn around and tell you a story that's 180 degrees different than the one they just told you. And they won't even blink. Lynda Obst did a book in 1996 titled with the famous punch line, "Hello, He Lied." It's so prevalent here, it's an actual joke." ETA: James Hibberd of Entertainment Weekly totally called Utopia getting yanked from the Tuesday lineup. |

They do tend to be random on support though. They HATED Amber Riley and she still won. Just a shame if the American audience holds the Duck Dynasty against her. Not the American audience just a small minority. MOST dwts forums and what not have nothing but love for her. Previously.tv, Mjsvblog, dancingwiththestars reality T.V. forum, Dwts Facebook/instagram ( she's the MOST popular female celebrity there ) , YouTube, tumblr, even Puredwts love her ![]() ...so yeah that site represents a small minority of Americans.EVERY week, her videos are the MOST watched despite someone like Bethany being huge on YouTube.

Not Pink, edy. Colbie Caillat. I'm expecting to be underwhelmed by the whole thing, but that's my tendency anyway. I'd rather expect less and be pleasantly surprised than expect more and be disappointed.

Hopefully Bethany gets partnered up with Mark for the switch up so he can get some personality out of her. Love Derek but Im sorry I cant get into her or their partnership that much this season as much as I want to; She is just so Blah...just there....
![]() she is lucky to have Derek because they are going to make the Finale but she is a bit bland imo.I want Val to get Betsy; Lets give him a REAL challenge for once but he wants the fans to vote for Lea and J with Artem... I guess we'll see. Im pretty sure Sadie will get Derek which Im VERY pleased/excited about .

!!!
; 1 and 3 !!!
!!! GO MARK 


- while the real business is done by the 'star' pros and kids or those with a ton of dance training. I'm starting to find it rather insulting.
