She was dressed like one of Powerline’s backup dancers. I get the sense she also might have either thought the bike shorts/sports bra combo wouldn’t pop as much on camera and/or might be slightly uncomfy showing her midriff and could have defaulted into a costume she was more comfortable in. Since they’re not really that distinctive beyond black costume/high pony/boots. (I didn’t love their dance but have a soft spot for that movie as an underrated Disney movie.)

There’s too many people still in this thing to be pulling no eliminations. I’m hoping for a double tomorrow. A double that considers scores cumulatively from both days, because seriously if they made me sit through endless “Mickey challenges” only to make it mean NOTHING I’m going to be so mad.

Do the scores carry over until tomorrow? If not, what the hell was the point of that stupid Mickey challenge?

Oh! What about a Guardians of the Galaxy dance to “Come and Get Your Love”? I actually might really enjoy that.

Ahhh, when the song went “wedding bells will ring” and Brian went down on one knee I got so terrified we were going to be subjected to another proposal. Sharna looked like she was going to cry.

What songs would they use though? Charleston to the Cantina song? Jazz to Agatha All Along?

Song list for next week: https://d23.com/dancing-with-the-stars-disney-heroes-and-villains-songs-revealed/ Couple questions: How the hell is “Bad Guy” a Disney song? How is “Remember Me” from Coco a villain song?? I guess if they do the faster version the evil guy sings after he stole it? For the love of god, how many Pirates of the Caribbean pasos will they force on us?

Eh, she’s grown up, but she’s still largely a Children’s entertainer. It’s like telling Shari Lewis to lose the sockpuppet, we all know the lamb’s not real. She does seem to be slowly expanding her style and dipping her toe into more adult things, but she likely makes most of her money still from 5-9 year olds. If she’s looking to up that age range, she seems to be doing it carefully.

Maybe it’s because I hated the format so much but I thought Cody’s scores were fair. Sure his movement was better than BAG, but this is exactly the dance style he’s trained in and did professionally - he was a backup dancer for Katy Perry and some others doing exactly this. So you’ve gotta be harder on him to start and then the synchronization was just impossible to achieve (understandably) but just made it so bad to watch. This is not a defense of BAG, as he was also very bad (I felt over-scored) and can go away any time.

He apparently had a “COVID exposure but has been testing negative.” I guess his Vegas show was also canceled last night. I’m a little surprised he hasn’t put any sort of statement out since it’s been announced now and he’s usually pretty active on social media. All speculation, I wonder if one of his dancers from his show tested positive? Or I think he’s doing meet and greets, it would suck if it were one of those.

I did it! The winner is me! ;P

I don’t understand The Miz’s heart shirt, and feel like he should be in something astronaut inspired, no?

That, I did not like. I felt like I was taking a Zoom jazzercise class.

Listen, I’ll say it, I’m liking Olivia. She seems to have grown up a lot, and is clearly taking this seriously. A lot of people who come in with that beauty/model/socialite background end up being so timid when they dance and she doesn’t do that, she’s going for it.

A…weird song to dedicate to your wife and kids, Jimmie.

I realize this is all produced that way, but man, they really cry over the mildest, softest of criticism. The judges will gush over them but give them one note - cut to a package where they’re sobbing about how hard they work. Ew. Looking at you, Melora and Mel C.

Slightly off topic, and I don’t know if this was a national commercial, but there’s a Princess Diana MUSICAL??? That seems like a terrible idea. To make an on-topic comment, I’m going to submit a prediction that Christine’s going home tonight. She seems…fine? But not that exciting and do people know who she is? Because I do not.

Yeah, he’s apparently got a rabid cult following among suburban Peloton moms, especially. Which seems like a likely desired viewing population for this show. Which also doesn’t dissuade me from my conspiracy theory that there’s a behind the scenes agreement between Peloton and the producers.

Maybe its in the advertising contract they signed with Peloton he’s gotta stick around a certain number of weeks </cynic>

Yeah, my one minuscule bit of Peloton knowledge is I used to go to Peloton classes in New York (including Cody’s classes, actually - pre-pandemic you could take them like regular spin classes) and they had a whole camera setup in the ceiling. Setting up an LA studio, even a stripped down one, feels complex. He’s also not the only one who’s been traveling, I believe Jimmie Allen is actively on tour. Hopefully they haven’t had him practicing with anyone else yet? Rumors were it would have been Brit, because the new alternate pro is technically in a “COVID bubble” as a close contact with the other alternate pro and it seemed likely they wouldn’t break that if they didn’t have to. I don’t know how they’re saying “his future on the show is in doubt” though. He’s gotta be out, they just don’t want to say it? Because any way they try to keep him in feels sketch. No one else with an injury/illness gets to stay.

Don't know if it's accurate but my googling came up with 5'8" She said in an Instagram live, 5’10 and 1/2. (I remember because then Alan argued with her and said she had to be 6’ because he believes himself to be 6’ and she seems as tall as him, and it made me laugh because as a fellow 5’10 person I’ve had this argument with men before, who get offended you can prove they’re not quite 6’) ETA: It’s at about the 10:50 min mark in this video https://www.instagram.com/tv/CUTeepXJkCt/?utm_medium=copy_link

Didn’t the rule used to be you had to have done it in the ballroom though? I feel like I remember drama about that with that one housewife who had a stroke, she wanted to be judged on rehearsal footage and they wouldn’t let her because it was from Atlanta, and not on the stage. Though that’s something I could see them changing because of Covid.

No, I think she took one off because she couldn’t hold those results cards (aka do her job) with it on Definitely a no brainer result.

Interesting choice to replace Tyra halfway through the show with the 7-up mascot from the 90s
