This episode was just boring in the dances. Two rounds, both consisting of nothing new. The first copying another iconic dance the best they can. We have the originals, we love them, why do it? Let us appreciate the historic wonder! And the instant dances are just a mish-mash of what they already know how to do well, not to take chances on something innovative and new to the couple, because then they could screw up and lose points. Is it just me?

"Why is this hot?" "Frank your sons are hugging!" "Want me to get the hose?" "Hey fat people, who cares?" "She's been going on about that thing like it's King Tutt's Golden Undies."

Saw The Canister again last night, this time I found it crazy funny! Debra Ray & Robert acting like they were committing murder, when throwing out the canister. Everyones acting was golden.

I have lost track. Is there a new Bachelor & Bachelorette filming now, or been chosen? I am much enjoying Joey and Jenn on Dancing With the Stars!

I heard on Cheryl Burke's podcast that Brooks Nader is moving to LA. Wonder if it has anything to do with Gleb. Way premature, if it does, IMO. Cheryl's podcast is so juicy. Dish, not dirt. Lots to know about dance too, and the whole dance world.

So it's ok to say I'm glad Phaedra is gone? She has this weird thing of not moving her legs much. MY Phedre is another character altogether (any Kushiel fans out there?). Val choreographed a nice dance though. I will have to watch the team dances again, but on one viewing I was more entertained by the first one. Really wish Stephen was with Dani.

I know it's not going to happen, but my Dream Judge panel is Derek, Mark Balas, and Cheryl Burke. All 3 care about classic ballroom technique. They can appreciate a fancy gimmick too.

Maybe her family didn't help help her in this just most recent event in her life.! My family wouldn't have given a crap if I was humiliated on TV. Jenn chose something the audience knows about. She is tired of being known for being heartbroken. She kept it more impersonal, , picking the music of Taylor Swift.

I understand Jenn dedicating her dance to Taylor Swift. Jenn went through a tough breakup, on a public stage. Most who go through it, but not on national TV! Taylor has lots of breakup songs Jenn wasn't in the frame of mind to talk about more emotion on TV, she's had enough. I used to call this Dead Relatives Night. I was heartened to see the 2 ladies honored were alive in the audience, and Brooks's sisters alive & well.

Just me, but I thought Val & Phadra were really clunky. They danced small, and she didn't move much. She was vastly overscored at all 8's I would give it a 6. I like Rylee but I wonder what a seasoned pro could do with Stephen. Like Dani! Dani doesn't look real happy this year. Maybe she feels limited at what she can do with Dwight. Yes Joey is by far the best Bachelor to dance. Second best by a lot was Nick Viall. The rest were average at best. So now Brooks & Gleb are out. No more showmance. Looked like they had cooled it off last night anyway.

Gene Simmons had no idea who Stephen Nedoroscik is. He demonstrated that during the critique. Having Gene on is ridiculous. He may know metal music, but knows nothing about dance. If I was a producer, I would have it so his scores are not counted in the final tally which affects who goes and who stays. They only seem to count for the broadcast.

They meant Gene Simmon's wife, Shannon Tweed. Among Brooks, Shannon and Gleb's wife, none of them have any resemblance to each other. Witney is blonde like Shannon, but has no facial resemblance.

The judges give the picky technique comments to the ones who they believe are capable off greatness. The ones who have showed their maximum, are told they are good, or that they are inspirational and heart-touching. It's judge code.

They did add Kristen Johnston as Tammy Diffendorf. I think she was a great add. The show evolved, it wasn't the same in the lattter seasons as it started. It's a testament to the talent in the cast & writers that they were able to steer it in other directions.

Nothing on this show has ever bothered me less than the possibility of Gleb & Brooks hooking up. They are adults, single, and I don't see a problem. Cheryl Burke, on her podcast, recommends waiting til they are booted, for the ease of their dancing partnership. You put 2 great-looking people together in a high-stress and high-excitement situation, what do you think is going to happen?
