Sharna referred to Peta as "my sister" on last week's Afterbuzz press interview, and I've heard they're best friends. I personally wouldn't take it as meaning anything coded.

Are you referring to what some people call the "crotch bob"?

Admittedly it was a few years ago, but have they forgotten Steve Guttenberg and Jonathan Edwards' Mango?
ETA: It's true, the Mango was campy and the planned dance presumably isn't. Still....

If they wanted to bring Alexa back, they could hold the show Monday and do a GMA-via-satellite elimination or something.
About the scores on the duet dance for Nick and Tamar, the judges did a LOT of discussing before putting their scores in, which is rare. I wonder if they decided to score Nick on the basis of the rehearsal (which they theoretically don't see but everyone knows they do) so he wouldn't suffer. He apparently changed his dancing on the fly to work with what she did, which wasn't what was planned (forget where I saw that, but I believe it).

I watched about 10 minutes and decided there just wasn't any content, so I bailed.

I think Keo is being called "gay presenting." I actually had the impression he's straight from an early interview, but I may be wrong about that.
-
Got it, thanks!

I was hoping Mrs. Kyle would have a TH, and she did!
They couldn't even get a TH from her sister.
What's a TH?

I posted what I think it is, but maybe I shouldn't without knowing why you want to know. Some creative Googling might get you there.

According to Paywizard:
Dancing With the Stars Contestants Salaries
Weeks 3 & 4: $10,000 per week ($20,000 total)
Weeks 5 & 6: $20,000 per week ($40,000 total)
Weeks 7 & 8: $30,000 per week ($60,000 total)
Weeks 9 & 10: $50,000 per week ($100,000 total)
If a celebrity makes it to the final episode, his or her earnings can go up as high as $345,000.
The Pros salaries are negotiated. During the early years they each earned $1K week. It was raised to $5K per week at some point. It may have changed since these numbers were published. I have heard, but don't remember when or where, that the Pros who have been with the show longer are paid more and are given quite a few extra perks, depending on differing specifics.
Just to be clear, as I understand it, the above is in addition to the $125,000 (or whatever it currently is) for doing the show in the first place.

Just rewatched Madonna's Vogue video; she did other stuff *too*, but for part of it, Paula's moves really do echo the video.

By the way, "derrick" is "a kind of crane with a movable pivoted arm for moving or lifting heavy weights, especially on a ship." Is that like a forklift? Because Derek has just demonstrated he's not a forklift dancer at heart. I've been wondering for a while if Derrick is a misspelling or a commentary....

Just wondering....are all the All Access camera feeds recorded so all the time zones can see the same feed as the eastern time zone when the show is live?
Yes. I watch the show (I'm Eastern time), then at 11 I watch All Access when it airs opposite the Pacific time airing. I try (sometimes I miss it) to switch to the Judges Table feed during dances; you can see how the judges are responding (sometimes big smiles, Bruno often stands up to see better, etc.), and when the dance moves between camera and table you get a different view of the dancing, which is cool. I occasionally visit the other feeds as well.

When Leah wouldn't stop hitting Derek with the mike, I lost any interest in having her host. Once was cute, but over and over? She was out of control.

[Alek] seemed a little stiff (ahem), as if he didn't want to brush up against [Emma] too much.
Given the broken nose, I can see why he might feel that way.

Just saw an article that says Hayes' older brother Will has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Ouch!
-
We don't know that Val hasn't worked on faces with Tamar. Just that if he has, it hasn't helped.
ETA: Anna was saying on All Access that you can tell someone something over and over, but until they do it, you're stuck. (Not how she put it.) I also think sometimes pros can explain in ways their contestant understands, but for whatever reason some can't do it, some can do it some of the time, etc.
Reminds me of long ago when a riding instructor (I was a raw beginner) kept telling me to get my heels down. I had NO idea he meant straighten my legs.

I was wondering why Witney seemed to not-very-jokingly want to get away from Carlos. That Instagram video says it all. He's lost any shot at any vote from me, I guarantee you.

Alek and Emma really seem like a romance, not a showmance. Alek just beamed tonight! Not bad with a broken nose....

The Season 19 problem, IIRC, was that Derek was voted with someone not in LA but he couldn't leave town because he was also doing a big Macy's Stars of Dance choreo. So they had to adjust.
I'm not aware of an analogous situation this season, though.

I dunno, if it were my ... um... much younger sister I'd be *really* annoyed at a doctor that minimized a hole in the heart that caused a TIA in a 37-year-old woman.
ETA: I wonder if the PTB knew about the hole and checked with other doctors.

The scores from the dances just danced and the switch-up dances will be combined, but the elimination shouldn't be till the following week.
I always like switch-up week. You get real changes. I've often wondered if Witney got a second shot because she and Drew Carey really meshed, for example.
-
It seems to me that the considerable money Alek would get for appearing even one week on the show would enable him to finish school with a lot less stress.

Allison is four months pregnant (someone asked her during the show).

Huh. I totally didn't notice I called Jonathan Roberts Jonathan Edwards. Yeah, I knew he was Anna's husband and all. (Jonathan Edwards is this fire-and-brimstone preacher from several hundred years ago who's an ancestor of mine; why I would bring him into it, I have NO idea.)
