I didn't bother watching most of the show. As a former dancer I expect some innovative entertainment not a pro ripping off another pros choreography from last season. Or non dancers just jumping around- anyone can be that drunken jackass at a wedding. The show has officially made me turn the channel. Never thought that would happen. But this experiment of putting a black celebrity with a newby black pro was cruel because the show knows exactly what its doing, and it's just feeding the beast.

A night of bullshit topped by an absolute bullshit elimination. America, learn to fucking vote.
They have learned a long time ago. Don't vote for a cute black girl who can actually dance ballroom and latin. Especially if her partner's black.

Keo was paired with Chaka Khan in season 21, so Brandon and Tinashe are not the first black couple in all of DWTS; however, one could argue they are the first black couple in which the celebrity is a contender to win.
My mistake. Keo had been the Black Artem until now. Also Chaka Khan was born in 53 so 7 years before the oldest female winner of the show, so you know things like arthritis set in and you make allowances.. I'm talking about contenders closer in age to their pros... Now if she were born in 93 like Tinesha I'd be wondering.

Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of is Laila Ali from Season 4.
Mel B, Brandy, Zendaya, Mya, Normani...I am wondering if they weren't "ringers" if their outcomes would have been different. I think female ringers in general have the hardest time on this show because the expectations are highest for that type of contestant (unless you are a sweetheart figure skater).
Or you have a famous mummy or daddy like Rumor Willis or this obnoxious Milo kid.

Yes Joe sucks, but how crappy was it of TPTB to give him a third with no dance or performance experience? And I think he’d love to go home if the fans would let him
My fave is Milo. I usually don’t like the kids because they can be full of themselves but he’s a great combo of talent and fun.
I don't like Milo. He's full of himself and he's flat footed.

Witney's choreography is really top notch. She knows how to travel the floor, what looks good on TV and how to blend entertainment with the dance. Sure it helps she got 2 kids who can dance but she's also evolving as a coach. That's nice to see.
Actually it was a rip of Lindsay's Salsa from last season.

As someone who has watched the season from the beginning, I can only go what I have noticed and alot of others to. I have just seen contestants like her quickly get that label and never understood why. I often time think about Tamar season and how she was treated horribly and she actually was called some very disrespectful, racist names on sm. I never saw anything like it, it was pretty bad even Val who was her partner had to step in and get onto the producers for manipulating their packages.
Tineshe is a mixed kid like Jordan. The treatment of the two is night and day.
Now, I loved Jordan because he was a great dancer. I couldn't care less about Lindsay she's a cookie cutter Utah chick just like the others with nothing really special about her dancing. In fact I could care less about any of these pros who act over-sexed to hide the fact they are teaching bugger all. But on the dances where he could really show his skills, Lindsay had to up her game when she danced with Jordan. She couldn't rely on crazy lifts, she had to dance. Proud Mary-- Jordan was the better dancer and sold it with his cool vibe and incredible ability - Bar none, the BEST Jive ever on the show. Also the BEST Trio Dance--,and it really wasn't the choreography, it was how it was executed..
I saw the DWTS road show and it was cheez whiz- I wouldn't bother seeing another one, but Jordan completely impressed me. When I saw the show he had in addition to doing his own dances, stepped in for Keo who was ill. So yeah, a pro, and I didn't care. He is an exciting smooth and confident dancer.
Tineshe is adorable. It's must see tv when she dances. But she's invisible on the DWTS twitter feed. It's all about that idiot Bones, and Milo and the Footballer. So the writing is on the wall. The show isn't pushing her so she will be gone. I want to see how much ballroom and latin technique Brandon can pack in before she goes. She did a pretty strong rumba and nobody gives a shit. But I like technique and if she goes down she won't be doing stupid backflips off the judges desk to prove it.

In jeopardy doesn't necessarily mean the two couples were the bottom two. Riker was in jeopardy multiple times during his season and he still made it to the finale and was the runner up.
Sure it does for white boys and girls from Utah. For a black pro and a black celebrity? Not so much.

What I saw on youtube of Milo is he was messy and flat footed and he used a back flip in a Jive. So what can you do with that? Whereas Juan Pablo danced full on and was really pretty good throughout. Cheryl didn't give him any shortcuts. Tinashe had a pretty good Rumba going but she'll be gone in a flash, but leave it to good ol Americans to vote for that douche Bobby with no rhythm and absolutely stupid choreography.

Well Tinashe and Brandon go into bottom 2. Sad that Americans are so predictable.

Well that didn't take long. Americans will NEVER give Black dancers the respect they deserve. Bottom 2. Unbelievable.

You're right, that was a crap freestyle and I don't remember Val ever doing a good one. He does good tangos and pasos, but I never remember his freestyles. Although I dislike contemporary, Derek did a good one for Kellie Pickler.
It was some sort of power outtage on the east coast, so Zendaya could have won. I wished they had of done their Argentine Tango to The Sherlock Holmes Theme as their Freestyle - it was inspired. That was Val being pushed to really give us edgy and age appropriate. It was a fascinating juxtaposition in dance. If that was the finale it could have beat the Pickler acro-routine. imho.

To me this is far and away the best dance team, but unfortunately they won't get the vote from middle America. It doesn't how sweet or deferential Taneshe is, my heart breaks again for black dancers who don't get the respect they deserve. It happened on SYTYCD this season and it will happen here. I've seen the others, I'm only interested this team, so I'll tune in when they're on.

I’ve started to post a half dozen times since the show and stopped, so I’ll just say that my final four would have been Magda, Hannahlei, Darius, and Jay Jay and leave it at that.
They did well. Magda didn't cut the mustard on a really stinky hip hop choreography however she was stunning in the contemporary style. If it were a lyrical hip hop she would have been just as good as ever. Hannahlei did aiight on some pieces, better on others. Her legs on the AT were really great, sharp staccato.. I didn't expect that from a contemporary dancer. Daius and Jay Jay could watch those boys all day long and never get bored. Loved them both -- my overall picks #1 Darius #2 Jay Jay #3 Hannahlei #4 Magda - three out of the 4 are gone so I be watching a primary or something come Monday.

S27.E06: Week 4: Trios Night
in Dancing With The Stars
I totally blame the show. They know that putting unknown Brandon with a black female would have consequences. This show only likes blacks if they are paired with approved white people.
