Props to Val because was the first dance of Gingers that I really really enjoyed...I don't know what he was doing the 1st 3 wks Also, Mark continues to be on a roll...this is basically his emmy reel season

She returns from maternity leave next week, so she'll be doing both shows

Meryl traveled almost everyweek and won, and she was going to a different city almost everynight. If dancing with the stars thinks they found a story arch with you.. they will stick with it whether the contestant cares or not...history shows (tamar-attitude, nastia-cold, jennifer-injured, etc)...

Looks like she is taking the end of her maternity leave seriously...lol. She seems to have a really supportive husband and mom, so I'm guessing they will help out alot. If she can do it, more power to her, but it's going to be crazy.

She seems fun & sweet...excited to see what her & val are capable of

That contemporary was the best I've seen tamar connect emotionally to a dance...it was lovely, wish I could see it with her healthy. Kudos to her for coming back and performing

Derek us a fantastic choreographer and very creative but the one thing I don't think is his stron suit is getting the greatest expressivity out if his partners. I actually think that is one of Val's strong suits ironically

There weren't any missed parts...the judges saw that package and decided to pull some critiques out of their a** Funny thing is, although I don't think tamar will win, didn't even think so at the beginning bc of the general dwts audience not be her core aduience....I do think this edit will actual backfire and anger her fans into voting. I still see her staying pass andy and the penavegas bc of that...I saw a lot gen dwts he 'dislike' this manufactured attitude, but I also saw a lot of fans angered at the manipulation and her treatment this whole season

If what tamar said on twitter is true....dwts did her dirty

What tamar just said about the producers in her twitter just proves dwts manipulation has gone too far this season...everyone was complaining about nastia's treatment last season, how they deceived tamar was like 100x worse...pathetic

Tamar killed that number, she needs to dance with that same confidence in the rest if the ballroom numbers this season

Honestly, how does anyone even know tamar is mad at Val? As I said Tamar wasn't following Val when I checked 2-3 weeks ago..so I highly doubt any of her tweets this week had anything to do with him. Maybe she unfollowed him weeks ago simply because he posts too much or if they did have a disagreement who knows what it was about, it could have been minor...heck a music choice, a dance step,.etc. I will agree that Tamars post this week were about not liking how she is being portrayed on the show,as she has a right to be though...but i don't necessarily think an unfollowing from weeks ago ties into this weeks posts

I remember randomly checking who tamar was following from dwts a few weeks ago and she wasn't following val then, so I doubt anything new went down btw them...seems like they are having fun according to Val.

As far as posting on SM, Val usually goes they way of his partner. If they post 10x a day he will tend to post a lot, and if they don't post much, he usually won't post much. I don't think it has much to do with how invested he is...Vals said himself that his downfall on the show is that he can't NOT be completely invested...even when he tells himself hes just gonna chill and relax. I agree with whoever above me said that Tamar's number 1 problem is that blank face she gives. In fact it's her #1-10 problem. Personality, Chemistry with Val, technique...I'm fine with all that, but that face has got to be fixed starting THIS week. The most frustrating thing is that it comes and goes and seems to pop up out of nowhere and completely take you out of the dance. Like if you go back and watch her samba, she will be either smiling/being fierce killing a section and then boom out of nowhere that 'deer in the headlights' 'I'm lost' look. I don't get it at all. If I were Val I would force her to watch back practices or the dances and have her stare in the mirror until she finds a game face, bc she could be so good if she just fixed that.

I don't see Tamar leaving this week at all. I think she will at least outlast paula, andy, and both of the penavegas

I think Val & Tamar get on fine. They are friends, respect eachother, and are working hard. I think some of u are use to Val with partners who are young, single, and/or with dwts as their only obligation. Tamar has like 10 jobs on top of being a wife & a mom...she doesn't have time to hang and be besties with Val like that...theyre cool tho Val seemed to post more about the snake than bindi. I'm looking forward to see how they handle rhythm nation

The difference to me is that this went beyond ur typical derek stans hating on val and val stans hating on derek. Those are all just opinions being thrown around and derek never responds and a lot of time val doesn't either. This was a woman hiding behind a 'source' passing information about Vals character off as FACT...that's straight up slander. Derek is a nice guy and all, but if there was a website that spent years with spurious insiders detailing what a horrible teacher and douchebag he was, he would defend himself in some manner too.

It was nice to see this vulnerable side of tamar. I think she could of straightened her legs more throughout the dance, but for only 2 days of practice or however long they had, solid job

I think height wise Derek is the only one of the three that will match up nicely bc louis & mark are a Lil short. I would like to see Tamar- 1) derek 2)mark Bindi - 1) mark 2) val Alexa - 1) louis 2)val Paula - 1) val 2) mark

Val doesnt know how to dance hip hop...at least not correctly. Although he is improved, he's still not great at it. On topic, I'm excited to see Tamar tango, will be a nice change in mood from her previous dances.

I agree that Tamar & Val had the best dance last night. Theyve done 3 really fun dances in a row, so I'm excited to see something slow lIke a waltz/rumba or moody like a tango/paso from them. Hopefully soon

Tamar & Val hands down had the best dance to me last night. It was so much fun. Although I do like the sass between her and val, it would be nice for TPTB to mix it up and show a different side of her.I know she's got it, Val's mentioned that shes actually pretty shy. Other than that, Nick was improved, but he still wasn't as good as he was night 1, and I think that ser my expectations really high for him I was really impressed with bindi also, I thought derek created a beautiful waltz. Something is bothering me with what witney has been choreographin for carlos. He has all the tools but I feel like wit could make routines with more wow factor for him.

Thought their cha cha was really cute and a great homage to her sisters. She's got really long, but in controlled limbs...which you don't see much. If Val can fix a few tech issues as the season goes on, they are going to be really lovely.

I thought the strain of two dances got showed on a lot of couples. Overall I though Tamar & Val's cha cha was the best of a kinda lukewarm night. It was Sassy & fun choreo and I think she has technique and Stage presence. I do agree with the energy dropping in the middle Nick needs to step it up...that jive was not acceptable if he wants to win. He's surely capable Bindi & derek were decent but I think the song got the best of them...and I was a Lil confused by that 9 I think Carlos & Alexa would be the #1 front runner if they merged. I think Alexa has great technique but no stage presence and Carlos has great showmanship but not as good technique as alexa. Allison put way too much nonsense in that jive. ANDYS actual jive steps were fairly decent....he should of done more of them

I didn't find anything wrong with their first package. I found it funny and thought it showed their 'brother sister' vibe off well, but then again, I get that type of humor. I can maybe get not understanding type of humor, but some of the comments I've seen of folk saying she is undermining/disrespecting Val's teaching seem to just have a problem with women with dominant personalties. Tamar is strong willed & speaks her mind, and will that clash with vals own dominant personality in the future? Sure, maybe...but at NO point was she disrespecting his teaching. She did everything he asked her to do, and further more, thanked him for it.
