I'd be more inclined to think David could bump Rashad. Only dance fans really love Rashad, but he is a free agent, he doesn't have an organization with a ginormous fanbase to back him like David does. If he was still connected to a team like David is, being their promotions guy, then I wouldn't worry so much. And wasn't that dance off close? It should not have been.

Sure he was boring, that's why he did the commentary for Sports Illustrated each week and had his fellow competitors roaring with laughter, especially his impressions but yeah, friggin boring.

Exactly a very very recent Olympic gold medalist vs an Olympic medalist from 23 years ago. Nancy is amazing.

Eh, we had a giggling school girl last season, and she bored me too. Compared to Hinch, man it was painful.

YMMV but Simone is uber awkward and Val kept talking so I figured Norman didn't have a tongue. Nancy is uncomfortable talking about herself, but that's endearing. Get her talking about her passion, like the eating disorders documentary about athletes she is producing and you have a very accomplished articulate woman.

Right as suspected, nothing to see. Yeah, don't sweat it, this chick is milking her '"strain" and trolling for sympathy votes.

Oh please share.

You wanna talk awkward? Does anybody know anything about Simone or Normani other than what their pros tell us? Geez these girls are as boring as paint drying.

She didn't hide anything. Nancy was interviewed on Nightline and they asked her about the injury. The pain has been significant on her spine, they showed her wincing in practice, one day on a break Nancy couldn't even lift her arm to drink water. The show chose NOT to include an ABC interview in any of her packages. Not once. I wouldn't blame them if they did, but that would give her sympathy.

Surprisingly PBR fans are pretty rabid per 2012: PBR Fans are 12 percent more likely than all U.S adults to engage in online social networking and 40 percent more likely to do so on their smartphones. 55 percent of PBR Fans used Facebook and they are 50 percent more likely than all U.S. adults to have used Twitter. Source: Nielsen http://dialog.scarborough.com/index.php/professional-bull-riders-pbr-gearing-up-for-built-ford-tough-world-finals-in-las-vegas/ It's not just social media, I have complained since day before day one that Nancy and Artem had very little exposure on TV shows like ET or Access Hollywood until this week, or On The Red Carpet, the abc show that never ever interviewed them. There just was no buzz about the team whatsoever, like they were invisible.

Except when Males are ringers, eg Mario Lopez, Corbin Bleu, Charlie White, the fanbases complain just as strongly. In fact Mario was the first ringer, and Emmitt Smith said it about him. Who won?

That's incredibly boring. The show creates rules for some and doesn't apply them to the vast majority of men who can't handle them. So rather than see the show for what it is, they let the fanbases dicker over nothing. This show doesn't have the balls to have an all female finale, and get some really good dancing for a change. But they've had an all male finale, highest ratings in the show's history. Never been matched. And that's why they play by different rules.

Never on par with them, except week 1 Nancy was one pt ahead of Norm and tied with David and Heather. After that she never scored higher than either Simone or Norman, regardless if they did the prescribed dance style or not.

I can't even. Anytime there's an "injury" package on this show I roll my eyes. The only time I felt sincerely bad for a dancer was when Kym Johnson almost had an career ending injury when Hines Ward landed on her neck. That's a pro, who will dance injured because her livelyhood depends on it and isn't into making injury part of the video package unless she can't dance to teach her celebrity and a sub has to come in.

Absolutely. Vote for the celebrity in the Gorilla suit, it doesn't matter. It's always been a shitshow of no rules, except on my favourites, the rules get applied.
