Good point!

About that Charleston to Crazy Stupid Love: Bet it was just as "random" as this salute was at the 1:22 mark in this Cha Cha back when he was still fixated on Chezza. He also did a salute or two coming down the stairs that season.

LOL and I must say that I absolutely love MERCY for a chacha routine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFQdMFR7das

Kristina and Brian danced a chacha to it on strictly come dancing when Duffy performed to that song years ago....

Here is another performance of Mercy with Anya and Patrick Last year (from strictly come dancing )

Has Len left dwts? Or is he just taking a super-extended break?

Think he is back this week, it was a good job he wasn't there last week don't think the dances would have impressed tbh.

I think that Meryl and Janel look quite similar in this shot with Val.

Len IS NOT back this week . The guest judge is Pitbull..... I dont think he will be back next week either but we will see what Tom says tonight so yeah he is definitely NOT back this week.

Here are a few pics of Sadie, Mark , Jenna, ............celebrating Witney's 21st Birthday at Hollywwod Horror night.....

Poor Sadie was so scared that she fell

Pics of Mark,Derek Henry, Val and some of the Troupe girls celebrating Witney's bday at a nightclub; Alfonso and his wife were also in attendance

I LOVE how out all the competitors, Alfonso and Sadie are really close outside the show ; They are always spending together outside the show; After all, she calls him her second dad

I still have the feeling that they will be the LAST 2 standing . After all, They are the 2 MOST popular contestants at the moment........

Oh Boy.......this lawsuit is getting more serious and doesnt look good for the pros (Val, Peta, Jenna, Sharna and Emma ) enlisted in the lawsuit


http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr...s-twist-742035


Okay, Im sorry but I side with the show on this one......... I think that the BBC has a point in their lawsuit....

I wished some people would actually understand how Business LAW works before making claims like " DWTS has no nights to sue those dancers........or to initiate that lawsuit "

Despite what they say, BWAT is in direct competition with a dwts tour............




[Phewwwwww....Im a bit relieved that Artem is not involved in those legal issues....... (because he is more close to the Chmerkovsky clan that is involved in that lawsuit)

I thought they said that Len was only out for 3 weeks and he has missed 3 weeks I miss Len on dwts not so much on strictly if he needs a break just no Donnie type replacement.


I always thought it was something to do with the show after they stopped the dwts tour always accidentally called it dancing with a twist. Funny that Cheryl, Karina are featured on their facebook but aren't named in the lawsuit.

Take it sway and move live is like Brendan's and Anton's show where they are connected to the show because of the pro but it is obvious that it was the professional's show not the programme.

BIB Exactly; when I first heard about it, I thought that it was directly connected (even produced by the show ) to the show. Here lies the confusion; They are actually diluting their trademark so imo the BBC will and should probably WIN that lawsuit...and it is stipulated in the pros contracts that they can do shows outside the show but they have to be APPROVED by BBC Corp...so Im assuming that Bwat probably wasnt approved.....Yes , its interesting that Karina and Cheryl names were exempted from that lawsuit ; I didnt even noticed that until you said it.....

I miss Len on Dwts too but he is not back this week; Probably next week but Im not sure; we'll see tonight.....

There is a big discussion going on about it on twitter especially on Kristyn's twitter @Purederekhough suggests that it is to do with contracts which could be why Karina and Cheryl aren't mentioned they would be near the end of their contracts even though they are talking more about Derek & move live. Derek is on a season deal others are signed on for a period of time like Tristan was before they transferred him to strictly, Lacey I think was still on contact until recently and may still be on contract as she is now doing the back stage stuff so was Dmitry even though he hasn't been on the show for years.

Oh....regarding Cheryl and karina it makes sense then.....
And yes, I've been following that discussion .
I wonder if Krystin is going to talk about it on After buzz t.v. tomorrow since Sharna will be her guest

Don't know if she can - legal restrictions

The fifteen secs scoop was a bit pointless Pitbull only wants the female dancers near him so just like Jason derulo then

CANT WAIT TO SEE THEIR RUMBA

http://instagram.com/p/uZD28WzPBS/?modal=true


Just less than 2 hours to go......eeeeeeeeeeeeek ..............Fingers crossed their VT is not cringeworthy.

I Love Sadie & Mark


http://instagram.com/p/uZD28WzPBS/?modal=true


And tonight solidified once again why Mark is my favorite pro in this show; He is an absolute SWEETHEART ; not to mention so creative, lovely, funny, BEST teacher, GENT.....


Okay now time for honesty lol. Tbh I think that it lacked a little bit of hip action at times and that she appeared a bit unsure at times (first time I have ever seen her like that & given the dance it is understandable ) but other than that , I thought that the choreography was so beautiful ; she created beautiful lines so overall, I really liked it .

Thats all

I will also like to add that they trended worldwide tonight

Okay, now that I have recovered from that rumba http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2b381CH5P8 . a couple of thoughts :

1- Sadie and Alfonso were the best this week; It is STILL a 2 horse race for the trophy between them with Alfonso leading the way

2-Lea was disappointing and I cant even remember her routine now. Artem needs to focus on working with her...instead of chasing Alfonso (people didnt like that package in their VT) .....I really think that she will be in danger next week; They were not memorable tonight

3-Michael performed the slowest AT I have ever seen ; What was up with Emma's coutume Totally NOT a AT costume. They were WAY OVERMARKED !!!

4-Janel and Val....pass me the bucket....these 2 cant get eliminated soon enough for me .....and some people still think that the show is pushing the romance on them ? " Lets talk about our feelings " GAG and a 9 was VERY generous.... Priceless moment was when Pitbull called them on their lack of passion....their face
Nice to see them make a trip in Jeopardy Land.

5- I expected more hip actions for Sadie; (so the 8s from Bruno and Julianne were justified I guess ) She had it in her cha-cha and samba so I was surprised to see them a bit non-existent in her rumba tonight ....that is my only complain of their dance ....the show didn't listen to me and made their VT as cringeworthy as possible....I had to rewind it when she said that the woman in her VT was her grandmother....goodness me.....she looked like her mom's sister
A 10 was Pitbull was generous but OVERALL it balanced out with the 2 8s she got.She created some stunning lines and looked absolutely gorgeous tonight as well. Mark is outdoing himself with the choreography this year once again....
Love, love, love the storytelling


6-Len is Back next week, YAY

7-Next week is the TEAM DANCES and since Alfonso and Bethany were the highest scorers, they are the team captains....PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE......Let Derek Choose First....Love Alfonso but I need Sadie to be on Derek's team . HE HAS NEVER LOST A TEAM DANCE so I want her on the winning team and besides I want my 2 favorite Boys (Mark and Derek ) together

8- Speaking of Derek, Im sorry but Bethany was a tad overmarked; She slipped during that routine and she got 4 9s ? But I must say that she did very well considering the little time they had.

9- Pitbull was okay as a judge; I felt like he settled more into his role as the show went on.....I am glad that Jonathan went on a high note
I dont think Allison will be back next year....she was a DISASTER this season, Im afraid.
Can Leah please have Erin's gig and become permanent co-host ? ; she was so at ease, charming....funny and a natural.....I loved when she said that Derek must not know how it feels to get 5s and 7s lol.

10- Finally, If I haven't said it already, I absolutely LOVE Mark Ballas

Seen the show. We all called that Janel would be in jeopardy this week due to that tacky burlesque dance. I imagine she was low on the vote.

Poor Jonathan. I did feel happy for Michael though. Emma does bring out the best in him despite him being clearly the worst left. The mess Whitney produced just shows how some pro's can just give up on the choreography.

Sadie's Rumba dance <333 FIERCE GIRL Not her best though.

Antonio to go next week please got me. Alfonso is my winner ATM

Team dances for week 7.....

Team Alfonso (song: “Time Warp” from Rocky Horror Picture Show):
Alfonso & Witney
Sadie & Mark
Antonio & Cheryl
Tommy & Peta

Team Bethany (song: “Black Widow” by Iggy Azalea feat. Rita Ora):
Bethany & Derek
Janel & Val
Lea & Artem
Michael & Emma

(as per PDwts)

Does Derek still have his 100% win record in these things? I think he might keep given 3/4 are pretty good in his, Though Tommy and Antonio are better than Michael.

It might come down to how serious Alfonso's injury was at the end of the show.

Timewarps a better song as well. I'm Guessing Peta will be in Magenta's outfit...

My favorite song between these 2 is TIME WARP mostly because I still cant forget the amazing pro/celeb dance that was done to it last year on strictly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO1Mvsu4Vq0

If I had that song I will put a lot of jive, jitterburg, charleston, quickstep moves because it is a pretty fast song.......

The teams seem evenly matched but with no contest Team Bethany is going to win. They have 3 great female dancers on their team and Michael is not bad like Tommy and Antonio,....and they have the Wonder Boy : Derek on their side.

I cant wait to see what Team Alfonso will come up with though

As always, the losing team LOSE the celebrity that week so next week either Antonio or Tommy will be gone....Michael will probably escape next week elimination imo.

Not looking forward to the staged drama in the team dances urghhhhhh........... especially with Val and Derek in the same team....the producers are going to have a field day with the footage....wait and see..........

Sadie and Mark Rumba is the n1 trending Topic on Facebook at the moment

https://twitter.com/DancingABCStats/...47131202596864

And the MOST watched dance so far on all main Dwts channels


As Donny Osmond would say " YEAH BABY "

Yes I think my money, will be on Team Bethany, for the win.

Team rehearsals

I can see team Time Warp being the most entertaining routine, but like Team Gangnam before them, the more serious and technical routine (with Derek choreographing) will win out, which i expect will save Michael for another week. Interesting to see who goes, although I suspect it'll be goodbye Antonio & Cheryl given the cult following of the other 3 on the show (though If it could possibly be Sadie, that would be very nice, thanks!)

Sadie is going to be in the finale sorry to disappoint you

I hope you enjoyed Liverpool humiliating defeat at home by my team last night

I don't support Liverpool football team so I enjoyed it very much

And I know Sadie'll be in the final, much to my disapproval, but since we all know Alfonso has this in the bag I doubt I'll be too fussed!

On an unrelated note, does anyone know if Leah is staying to cover Erin this week? I know Len's back, but I wasn't sure how long Erin was gone for. I gather it's more than just last week though. Leah was a very capable replacement, made me laugh throughout the show!

HALA MADRID .

Most people expected Zendaya and Corbin to win in their respective seasons and look at what happened . Yes Alfonso is the front runner ( with Sadie trailing behind him ) BUT NEVER count Derek and Mark out in the finale . NEVER. I wouldn't be so sure of a Alfonso win if I were you. Although I'll be delighted for him since he's my 2nd favorite

Erin is back next week.
