That comment at the end...is he trying to play mind game with his fans? http://www.etonline.com/media/video/nick_carter_expecting_a_baby_with_his_wife_lauren_kitt-174907/

That's not much. Guess the celebrities are here for the exposure.

I know some BSB fans from Australia :) The guys did a tour down under back in May. Awkward that Bindi turned down DWTS Australia but accepted the USA's. Since watching the show. I have become a fan of Sharna, think I like her more than Nick lol.

I'm not aware since this is my first season watching the show. The only two people I knew before the show were Nick and Paula. What about other contestants, where do they stand in terms of fan base? And how do you determine it? I realize social media doesn't always tell the story since some people's heydays were before twitter, FB, instagram etc. and their fans don't use those applications (but they still vote with phone #TRLDays). For instance, I'm the only member of my family that uses twitter and instagram. I don't even follow Nick (or other members) on his FB page or twitter acct but I follow BSB accounts. However, I still support and vote for him.

I used a proxy to test several countries in Europe and Mexico: nope. His fans usually upload the performances and access videos pretty quickly though. Regarding multiple FB accounts, I read similar things with Nick's fans. One person created over 250 FB accounts for voting, that's just insane. I'm not that type of person though. If he is eliminated, I'm not gonna cry over it...it is just a show. And I'm more of a BSB fan than a Nick fan so if he leaves early then they can hit the studio to record their new album (win-win for me).

To be honest, I have never of Bindi until this show but I have heard of her dad though. The Backstreet Boys have close to 11 million followers on FB (I believe their largest social platform) so voting should be convenient for their fans then.

Ah, that makes it even easier for them. The whole country of Australia must be voting for Bindi lol.

There's no way of seeing the official votes...just an observation, his non-American fans (or BSB fans) have tweeted showing their votes. If I'm not mistaken, you can't register for an ABC account unless you are inside the USA so they prob used a proxy to mask their IP address. I have seen these tweets from places like Germany, Italy, Isarel, Japan, and South America (especially from Brazil). BSB were known to have strong fan base in Europe (where they started their career) and South America (their international fans seemed more passionate than their USA fans). I remember when MTV live-broadcasted their 100-Hr Around The World Promo Tour for Black & Blue in 2000, 48,000 Brazilian fans showed up to greet them and almost flipped the bus over (it was crazy). They did 6 concerts in Brazil earlier this year, safe to say their fan club is still solid in that country (heard they almost got hurt during an after party...those crazy Brazilians). Anyway, BSB fans have a lot of experience (20+ years) than say young Hayes' teenage fans. Not DWTS related but in case there are BSB fans lurking around, a new German ad. Kinda fitting since Germany was BSB's first major breakthrough #BSBHistory Though not as lavish as this Swedish commercial from last year. Sweden was the country BSB went to record their first album in 1995.

Just saw this, lmao.

I noticed that Nick has been getting international votes...guess his fans found a loophole (prob using fake IP).

Congrats to Nick and his wife. Nick Carter, Wife Lauren Kitt Expecting First Child Together Read more: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/nick-carters-wife-lauren-kitt-is-pregnant-20152710#ixzz3pov9rxDL

One of the first thoughts I had when I saw the group picture on instagram was, Team Short vs Team Tall.

Then perhaps they are not really hard core fans, following him & others for the sake of being part of the "in" crowd?

According to the interview below, Nick said he had choice of music but passed over the Ghostbusters song. I'm glad he did. I just loved that team dance, watched it at least 10 times already. If it isn't for Nick, I would probably throw my votes at Tamar or Alexa (feel sorry for them and I do think they are good dancers). Kinda suprised about Hayes' departure given his big social following. During the TRL era, teenagers voted like crazy. Opposing fans were ready to jump at each other's throat (BSB and N'Sync rivarly comes to mind). Perhaps, social media and music stardom are not quite the same thing. I'm from NC and had no clue who he was until this show (actually still not quite sure what he is famous for). He seemed like a nice kid though.

I think that might be my favorite dance of the night #ThisIsHalloween #ThisIsHalloween

I missed the early dances but saw Nick's on youtube. He was not sharp (no energy), not too surprising. When I saw clips of him performing at the H&M Balmain Fashion Show in NY with BSB, my first thought was "that can't good especially with 2 dances this week". So far, disappionted with most of the individual performances I saw (think my expectation was too high) Liked Bindi's and Carlos'. Didn't see Alexa's but heard it was good, will have to watch it later tomorrow.

Guess I'm in the minority, I like "This is Halloween" song. Or maybe I just like this light show lol.

From Sharna's blog http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/10/20/dwts-sharna-burgess-saturday-night-fever-blog-dancing-with-the-stars/ Too bad Nick already used the "Everybody" song. Not a really fan of that song tbh but I love costume themed music videos. Mimicking it for Halloween week would have been awesome. And speaking of music, Nick just revealed a collaboration with Avril Lavigne Loved Avril so kinda excited about this. I'm glad that it is a rock song. My favorite BSB album is "Never Gone" (rock album) and Nick sounded great in it. He is not even my favorite vocalist from the group (far from it).

From twitter, Team Nightmare will be dancing to "This Is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas. https://instagram.com/p/9E6ZMej0Y0/

Paula was arm dancing, Carlos was stripping...I'm not a dancer but were these really dances? I missed Andy's and Hayes'. I thought Derek was going to drop Bindi, maybe not a rumba but at least there were actual "dancing". Alexa was underscored. Alek was okay. I thought Nick did a good job. Tamar was pretty good.

First post...like several others, I was sucked into watching DWTS for the first time b/c of Nick lol. I usually avoid these type of shows b/c I think they are rigged. So far the more I watched, the more it appeared that way but admittedly there were some fun & interesting dances. So Nick will be doing the John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever routine to the Bee Gees' 1976 song You Should Be Dancing on Monday. Could be fun. Interesting that Olivia Newton-John will be the guest judge this week. Her daughter, Chloe Lattanzi, was filming with Nick in his movie "Dead 7" few months ago. Nick and Sharna performed the Everybody (Backstreet's Back) routine on the Ellen Show yesterday (clearer version than the one on DWTS).
