Brownie

After reading about Nick's hip issue/injury, I hope he does not push himself too much. At the end of today, it is just a show.

They are not rigging the votes but they are influencing the votes with manipulations/showing favoritism to keep contestants that can give them give higher ratings. I don't think they care too much who wins in the end but getting them to the finals is the goal. However the promotions/gimmicks could influence the outcome (condition voting habits) in the long term thus the show is somewhat "theoretically rigged".

Confession: I voted for Bindi before but then the judges started to annoy me...

I wouldn't mind seeing Andy again. P.S. Despite saying I'm not that upset about the unfair treatments, why am I still feeling sad about Tamar and Alexa? Sometimes I hate myself for continuing to watch the show.

Other than the baby reveal/icon week (I wish they didn't do the baby reveal thing), I didn't think other weeks were special. He was over-scored a couple of times I admit, but it was not limited to him. And appearances from his group were to be expected, they are practically his family (given his not so good relationships with his biological family). Nick has been with BSB since he was 12yo, they basically raised him. So who do you think were pushed more, Nick or Bindi?

I can't comment since I didn't watch last season :D Honestly, I have already accepted the show for what it is: an entertainment/reality show so I'm not that upset about the unfair treatments, just stating my observations of the show in general.

Fair point, but I don't think he was pushed that much compared to Bindi. In my first post when I joined this forum, I already stated that the show seemed rigged to me and this was my first season watching it. And didn't many people here observe similar things? ;)

Probably not a surprise to anyone but I'll leave it here...

I kinda find it funny that Derek's fans are trolling Nick online, insecure much? Nick should be ashamed because he is asking for votes? #smh Isn't that the purpose of being on the show, to promote oneself?

There are people born to be showmen and imo AJ was one of those. He stood out the most to me early in their career, loved the spotlight. And if he does DWTS, would not be surprised if he gives plenty of stuff for TPTB to work with #ohboy Wish his legs were younger...

Great interview from AJ on Nick and DWTS http://www.twistmagazine.com/posts/aj-mclean-shares-how-proud-he-is-of-nick-carter-s-dancing-with-the-stars-success-76911 *Imagines AJ in tights* #weird Him doing DWTS could be fun (he is likely the next BSB to do it based on their personalities). And wow, did Nick really say he doesn't want to go all the way to the end b/c he is tired? Get in better shape Nick!

Sucks for her, Val, and her fans but health comes first. Personally I enjoyed her dances, especially her beautiful form (perfect body type for dancing). Best of luck to her.

For some reason, I thought Tamar and Nick were the same age. Wishing a speedy recovery to her.

I know exactly what you mean and personally I loved his personality (please don't kill me #offtopic) Probably.

Tamar got some of my votes this week....I rarely vote for someone not named Nick.

Somebody uploaded a short clip of of the boys on AllAccess https://www.facebook.com/NickcarterSweetD/posts/1694781220736394 Hopefully someone (Boys on the Block) will upload the full version...really enjoyed the Q&A session.

DWTS Recap 10: Nick’s A Cool Cat In Town…https://darksideofbackstreet.wordpress.com/2015/11/10/dwts-recap-10-nicks-a-cool-cat-in-town/

Same. I actually admire Tamar a lot. I know how hard it is to be an independent person, especially a woman. I lost both parents by age 7 but I related more to Tamar than Bindi (weird). I rarely talked about my parents' deaths b/c I didn't want people to feel sorry for me.

Feel bad for Alexa :( She does not deserve to go home yet.

Wow, Tamar made it back to for the 2nd dance.

Kevin needs to do DWTS! That would be really unfair wouldn't it since he also taught ballroom dancing before joining BSB? #WhoCares #Throwback

I think this is my favorite week thus far. Poor Tamar though :( Sharna reminds me of Jessica Rabbit!
