Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2018

[Rockette]

Considering her brevity & and voice that was shaking a bit - I honestly thought she was trying to maintain her composure. I really thought she was going to lose it an start crying.

She still deserves to be there.

I'm fully expecting to be a crying mess Monday night watching these dances

Yes, Most Memorable Night is always Kleenex night.

Oh yay. Another sexy Tinashe dance. I predict that it will be NFWS!

The next person who should go IMO is either Joe or Bobby. I love Joe on the Bachelor franchise and I like Bobby's energy but neither one can dance. Like, it's painful. My luck, I'll get stuck with Bobby until the bitter end.

You may get stuck with bobby for a bit longer, quite a large fanbase plus add in sharna's he's not going anywhere just yet

The problem with giving Tinashe all the sexy dances at the beginning is that when she finally has to do the slow waltzes & foxtrots, there will be less competitors and they will all have improved. She may get less votes when people finally she she's not that good with the slow dances. . . unless Brandon choreographs sexy waltzes & a foxtrot.

But, that could be the producers' strategy, so they don't end up with the same controversy Normany had when she didn't win. She will stay around and make it into the Final 3, but it may be more apparent that she can't do the slow dances as well and shouldn't be the winner.

I'm thinking the producers want as many finalists & winners who can do the DWTS tour and other ABC stuff as they can get. That's not Tinashe. She's going back to her pop/r&b stuff. Jordan & Frankie are now co-hosting Juniors. Alfonzo is hosting America's Funniest Videos. Melissa, who won the All Stars with Tony (who I miss!) was on various GMA and other ABC shows as a correspondent, and a lot of the other finalists do the tours.

Yes, careful Robin, you don't want to start another feud with those below the Mason-Dixon line.

I really have no clue who he is except that he's on the radio? Maybe? I guess I'll look him up. At least his frantic dancing will be entertaining.

 

[Imzadi]

Whoops! DWTS Juniors is on. I missed the first hour. Bumping this for others who may want to watch.

 

[Imzadi]

I will NOT be announcing who gets booted off each week for Juniors. The show is already pre-taped, so there is no live voting. So, if some of you want to wait, save up some episodes and binge watch several episodes together, you wont get spoiled, week to week, as to which kids get booted off.

Of course, everyone, feel free to discuss what happens on Juniors. Yet, maybe be vague about who gets sent home.

 

[robinb]

How long ago was the shop taped?

 

[Imzadi]

They started Juniors about mid-July or near the end of July.

 

[Imzadi]

I'm wondering if the Finale has already been recorded though. It would be awfully hard for kids to not accidentally say something. Or for the winners to not be excessively bubbly after winning while the others are kind of bummed.

Maybe they will do the Finale the way The Apprentice did that show, in which the whole season was pre-taped except the Finale. Then everyone was brought back together and the Finale was done live with the winner chosen then.

Winner has already been decided

I was wondering because Alana looks a lot lot bigger today than she did last week. Like she’s been dancing for a while.

 

[Imzadi]

What is it about kids that they seem to grow like weeds over the summer?

 

[Imzadi]

Some of these kids are so darn cute.

 

[robinb]

Do we want to talk about the kids’ show here? Or another thread? It’s impossible to not discuss the show after it’s shown. I don’t think we need to wait for people who want to binge.
