It's frustrating to see TPTB play favorites with the pros but Shrug its not going to change, that's the way it is.

I like Bethany but No I'm not buying into the " Bethany is the most improved out of the girls " that samba deserved 7s or 8s at best.... First , she spent too much time on the bench to start off with and where was the samba bounce ? why was Sasha included in the performance ? But since its Derek , she will receive 9s across at the board; Had it been another pro, they would have been slated for that.

She would have NEVER made it this far without Derek : Fact.
Oh and I loved Bethany's contemporary btw but her 1st dance was vastly overmarked !!!

Sadie wont be punished my Mark's attitude because I dont see anyone complaining about it except the Artemites here. A lot of people who dont even like Mark are rooting for him this season and Sadie and say that they are loving Mark this season ..... Like I said , some people want to see what they want to see because they feel like he has done wrong by Artem............Please

Abc boards, DWTS facebook, fansofreality tv, Puredwts, Mjsblog, ........ ALL the DWTS blogs/forums NO one and I mean NO one even mentioned that


And some people think that Derek fans at Purederekhough and Puredwts are bad.......
1st bib - well Leah and Janel were trained in dancing Sadie's best dance other than the trio were she went wrong was her samba that was week 4, Bethany's best dances have been in the last 2 weeks hence most improved tag

2nd bib - I thought it was lovely of Derek to include Sasha in the dance especially when he was the only troupe member not to be pick in a trio.

3rd bib - this isn't a fact it is an opinion probably a correct opinion but she had a great partnership with Matk and as others including those on afterbuzz said that was her turnaround week.

As for the Artem/Mark thing it doesn't matter to me that it was Artem I will admit Artem is one of my fav but even if it was the other way round I would have the same opinion about someone making something private public just to make a fellow pro look bad and that is it is not on and there was a lot of threads on the message boards you mentioned that were blaming Artem for Lea's exit for 'stealing' Henry. Just because you don't agree with someone's opinion doesn't make it a bias opinion as you stated earlier there is a hierarchy of course american websites and board will be on Mark's side.

Sigh..including Sasha in the dance was another way of Derek to " hide Bethany's a bit " and give it more of a performance factor and it wasnt trio week ; The fact of the matter is, had a pro done the same exact thing, he/she would have been penalized for it.

And on the Artem and Mark situation, all the pros get along together most of the times and it's mostly the fans who like to create this friction or tension/rivalry between the pros when usually it's non-existent....Over the years, most pros said that Mark is ONE of the most welcoming of pros out there; even more so than Derek but then again some fans like to see what they want to see like I keep saying...and feel like Artem has been wronged in a way......Oh please.....

As for the bib well you could say the same for your comments and your opinions. Lets agree to disagree because this is going around in circles over and over again. I like Mark but didn't like what he did, no one is perfect including Mark. No one said he wasn't welcoming, you are acting like everyone is ganging up on Mark and that isn't the case.

Yes lets agree to disagree and no Im not acting like everyone is ganging up on him. I'm merely saying that everyone will perceive things like they want to or to fit their biais and to my knowledge the Artemites here are the only ones who mention that clip....I haven't seen it discussed anywhere.

Both guys are lovely guys and that's all there is to it .

If any pro had spoken about another pro the way that Mark did about Artem they would be regarded as bad mannered. If a pro deliberately refused to acknowledge another pro when they were eliminated that too would be seen as rude and bad mannered. I wonder how you would react if Mark was treated with such a basic lack of respect? Your frequent digs about Artemites are so unnecessary.

I'm definitely team Bethany and Derek!, Also wouldn't mind Alfonso winning. Neutral to Meh on Janel and not feeling Sadie at all.

What did Mark do to Artem? I must have missed it. Have only been able to watch the performances the last couple of shows, not the whole thing.

I think Janel might come fourth but based on dancing that shouldn't be the case. Not sure who will win.

Not sure i want to open this can of worms but here are the two interviews from the week before the trio dances and you can judge for yourself. Also he apparently didn't go over when Artem and Lea went out but I haven't seen the clip of this as I haven't watched their elimination so can't comment.

Here is the full elimination (not in full screen) and Val, Janel & Sadie came over when they were just eliminated and at the end Mark is standing well out of the way.

Thanks.

Like Tristan said, it's wrong that there is a hierarchy with the pros. Mark and Derek are clearly top dogs and that's not fair. I don't dislike either of them, though Mark has been a bit stroppy. But it's not right.

Mandy Moore (Dancing with the stars performance director ; she does MOST of the opening numbers on the show ) is choreographing Val and Janel Freestyle.

Spoiler


My guesses are :

1-Alfonso :
Spoiler

2- Definitely Janel


For 3 and 4 I'm hesitating between Mark and Derek because this is something that both would do especially Mark ;
Spoiler
and because of Bethany and Derek recent IG pics I think that 3 is most likely them
Spoiler


As for Janel and Val, no surprise to everyone that they are not my favorites but I really dont understand why they want to go down that route especially when it's something that split fans (some people like it and others really hate it ).....

Hmmm....I guess we'll see.
Spoiler
.....Monday will be very exciting for sure

Video of Alfonso with his wife and baby dining Last night with Sadie , her grandma and her mom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1LDtx5n6Rs

I would love to see these 2 to be the final 2 standing; Doesnt matter the order. And Sadie said many times that he is her 2nd dad since her dad is not with her in LA
They have been the closest out of the cast this season and I just love their camaraderie

Btw Alfonso's baby is just the Cutest with his little chubby cheeks; So adorable

Without sounding very sadistic, I hope so (yn) still hoping Sadie finishes 4th, the other 3 are immensely better, and aren't here simply because they're rednecks (otherwise it would be Lea here, not Sadie!)

I don't think Bethany's freestyle will be up there with Kellie or Amber's, I think it'll definitely be a strong dance for her and probably get 40/40, but I don't think it'll be sensational, as Derek says, he's already played his trump cards on that front.

I think Janel might well have the momentum, but I don't expect Val to create much of a freestyle for her. I think they'll play to much on the showmance, especially after that is effectively what won it for Meryl and Maks last year, which is a shame :/

Witney is an untapped entity with freestyles, she could either bottle her choreography, or, what I expect, she'll throw absolutely everything at it. It could either be like Jacoby's freestyle which Carrie Ann said overpowered his performance, or it could be an absolute showstopper like either of Shawn Johnson's. It's the one I'm most looking forward to, followed by Bethany's.

For their first dances , the judges choices are
Alfonso : Jive. He was coached by Carrie Ann ( who also gave him a massage during their section lol )

Bethany : Jive with 20 seconds added; she was coached by Bruno.

Janel Samba with 20 seconds added : she was coached by Julianne.

Sadie Samba. She was coached by Len ; The video was hilarious

2 seasons ago I posted that they'd picked the wrong Utah Ballroom Dancer for the main cast when it came to Witney vs Lynsey.

Tuesday night I'm gonna be be proved right after Ms Carson brings home the mirror ball.

So Derek posts an instagram that he and Bethany are going first and that is usually not a good sign in the finale. Hmmm...

I just want to say that Bethany is so wise beyond her years; I sometimes cant believe that she ONLY just turned 19. I admit that I had a hard time warming up to her at the beginning but I finally did in the last few weeks; I know that she is going to take A LOT from this show

Well done to her and Derek on an amazing season and I believe that they will remain great friends.

Tom actually said that Bethany and Janel were the REAL bottom 2 with the votes; REAL bottom 2.
