Voting change: only live (east coast) votes will count
“For the show’s first broadcast, there will not be a viewing audience vote, and only the judges will score the routines. Those scores will carry over and be combined with judges’ scores from week two, which also marks the first weekly live viewing audience vote of the season (via abc.com and SMS/text) – and the first elimination. The live votes will occur each week only during the live broadcast in the EDT/CDT time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window).
Moving forward with each subsequent Monday night, the live vote combined with the judges’ scores will be revealed during the broadcast”

Where are your spoilers from? This partner spoiler is counter to the spoilers I’ve seen.
(matching shoes. Sasha’s also been back and forth from Nashville at the same time she’s been)
Flips who you’ve got for Brandon (seems to be with Mary) and Kate (with new guy Pasha) and Keo (no partner this season, seen tagging along with Gleb for some reason)

ABC should really have Melissa McCarthy on as a guest judge one night
They should really just have Melissa McCarthy compete in-character for the entire show.

Obviously if Daniella or Pasha get someone right off the bat then that throws all of this into chaos. I'd say if that happens then possibly Witney and Gleb/Alan might be in line to take a step down to "featured dancer" or whatever the heck they are calling the non-cast, non-troupe dancers that they keep around this season...
Hmmm, I wonder if Pasha & Daniella are there to demo each dance, in a “show em how it should look” sort of way.
As the ones most recently on the competitive circuit it would make sense and align to some of the “return to ballroom” rumors that have been thrown around.

No Emma or Sharna or Gleb?
Sorry if this has already been discussed - I haven't been keeping up with the news or this board very well, but I'm shocked that Cheryl and Peta are there and Sharna's not (did any of those three quit by choice?)
Emma & Gleb are still there, Sharna and Artem are not.
From their Instagram statements it seems like no, definitely didn’t leave by choice.

Pasha and Daniela are interesting pro additions. They were on World of Dance, are Blackpool champions, and Daniella just came off Derek’s tour

I do love the meta of James doing the show after he played a fictional version of himself on Don't Trust the B... In Apartment A, who competed on and won DWTS.
I thought he lost to Dean Cain, after drinking hallucinogenic tea?
(That show was the best)

"Due to breaking news and scheduling, we decided to postpone," wrote the ABC rep. "We don’t have a confirmed date that we are sharing at this time, but will let you know when we do."

I saw a commercial for his tour this summer. I’m not planning to go, but if you get any news as to who is backup dancers are, could you post it? I thought I saw Zack Everhart (SYTYCD and WoD), but it was so quick I’m not sure.
He posted a nice intro video and bio for each dancer on his Instagram, if you go there and scroll back a bit. Not Zack (who I think might have done one of his past tours?) but plenty of WoD faces:
Charity (of WoD Charity & Andres)
Daniella (of WoD Daniella & Pasha)
Audrey Case (of WoD Royal Flux)
Alexis Warr (of WoD the Pulse)Jay Jay Dixonbey (of SYTYCD)
Peyton Albrecht (also in Royal Flux, apparently?)
Chase Haley Bowden (of WoD S1 Miami All Stars & S2 Embodiment)-

Anyway, not that US Weekly is a reliable source for anything but they published an article yesterday claiming that insiders are TPTB are discussing whether or not to make S28 the last season and if it is, they plan to want to bring back a lot of the old pros for one big final season. My guess is none of that has been decided but on the off change that they did do one last season, I think a lot of our current pros could find themselves displaced. The only names the article mentioned were Karina, Cheryl, Mark and Derek and considering Cheryl was there last season, I don't think getting her for one last one would be hard. I also bet Karina would come back. Derek to me is more about whether or not he's allowed now that he's working on a different network. His contract may prohibit him from doing anything with DWTS.
Hmmm, I remember seeing a few weeks ago, Derek responded to someone asking if he’d ever be back on DTWS with a “maybe some day ;)” which was a much more affirmative answer than he’s been giving lately. (He had been giving off a “hell no” vibe)
That makes me wonder if there’s been some behind the scenes conversations behind that winky face.

So funny. I just saw his comment on the DWTS post and came here to ask why is he still carrying on?
Seriously. You’re a grown-ass man. Congratulate the children and move on.
Now all the comments on that post are about him instead of Sky and JT, so it seems he managed to get himself the attention he wanted.

I’ve largely stayed out of this Bobby stuff because I wasn’t that invested in this season all around, but man, what a MANCHILD. Way to take a post congratulating a couple kids and make it all about how “hard” things are for you? Ew.

I love Skye, she's so cute. I love the whole team. But if Alexis is supposedly Alan's girlfriend, but she's not because it's a showmance, wouldn't she be there to cheer them on? I noticed Milo was there. He looked kind of blue.
The whole Juniors season was filmed over the summer, and wrapped in August, before the current season of DWTS ever happened.

I personally don't care who u r, if u didnt choreograph a piece fully urself then u don't need to take full credit and tbh, I wouldnt want to take full credit if I knew it wasnt all me. If I use a choreographer rather its collab or the person fully choreographing my me I would want it to be known for my own integrity and respect. No wonder dwts pros doesnt get as many emmys as the choreographers sytycd because most of the choreography isnt by the original pro. I mean don't u find it weird Lindsay didnt get nod for any of her work Jordan??
Basically, it sounds odd to the non-industry person and it’s somewhat complicated rules, but Witney wasn’t ALLOWED to submit for the Emmys with Alan’s name attached, and Alan would have known that before he agreed to help her.
Also, he likely helped Lindsey with several of her Jordan dances as well. (Along with Wanya and Alek)
He helped Mark with the Paige freestyle
And Val with several Normani dances
And Sharna with Noah
Likely if he could be credited it would be a co-choreography credit. I remember Witney made sure to mention him. It’s not that uncommon, and it seems like the industry is fighting to change the rules on who’s allowed to get credit, but thems the rules right now.

She got help, but she also actively participated in choreographing the pieces. Under Emmy rules regarding credits, the ghost wasn't even eligible for a nomination. Moreover, said ghost had agreed to help choreograph two of the three nominated pieces without credit, and was personally paid out-of-pocket by Witney. It was the ghost who broke industry protocol by going public after nominations were announced. I remember other choreographers, including Spencer Liff who was nominated for SYTYCD that year, taking Witney's side. Industry practices concerning ghosts may not seem fair to outsiders, but it's what ghosts implicitly agree to when working within the industy.
Additionally, Alan Salazar (the ghost) has also frequently ghosted for at least Lindsay, Val, and “choreography genius” Mark Ballas. Which I say not to “call them out” but that they even the best can sometimes need to call in help, and none of them get much shit for it.
Yes it sucks that Witney wasn’t able to submit it as a collaboration but it doesn’t erase her contribution, and a lot of the crap she’s gotten since has been pretty overblown.

I count any scoring changes in the “never gonna happen” bucket, but why not have the judges give two scores: a technical execution score and a performance score. The score then adds up 1/3 technical, 1/3 performance, 1/3 audience. Show what everyone ranked on each one so there’s tranceparency into final scores. Boom, all camps (best dancer watchers, entertainment factor watchers, gut feeling popularity watchers) can feel heard.
My dream dance show, honestly, would be a choreographer focused one. (I realize I’m describing a completely different show here.) Each week everyone gets a theme, a style, maybe another restriction like solo, duet, group, and the end result is performed and judged as a package. You could score it World of Dance style across different factors: Originality, Adherence to assigned dance style, Technical Execution, Performance. (Said show could be shot Project Runway style, no need for audience vote, probably!)
Thats what pulled me into this show anyway, I liked watching the likes of Mark and Derek noodle their way around pulling together the dances. There are a couple other pros who have been good at this as well, though maybe less consistently, and it’s what has kept me following along. Lindsey, Alan, Witney and Emma have had moments. But yeah, my dream show would turn the focus entirely onto that process. (Netflix! Call me! I’ve got an idea!)

Mark's new song is a pretty good bop! With a bit of a Flashdance homage for the video.
Also, this seems like a pretty big career win for Julianne: https://ew.com/tv/2018/11/01/julianne-hough-jolene-dolly-parton-anthology-show/

Not in relation to Ariana, but did Adam ever learn a jive? Like he made it sound like when talking to Sky?
He did actually, it was for a dance-off against Mirai (so easily forgettable.)

Binged this this weekend during our “nor’easter” and enjoyed it a bunch, for some spooky rainy day fluff.
Did anyone else find the actor playing Father Blackwell to look distractingly like SNL’s Mikey Day? He would have looked perfectly natural breaking out into a David S Pumpkins dance, or being exasperated at his brother Eric.

It's literally impossible. blossoms are at beginning of summer, fruit are in fall. They were probably bare trees and the design dept attached both blossom and fruit because they're dumb.
I read this as a clearly intentional decision to make the setting feel more otherworldly.
Other literally impossible things that happened in that scene: the one hallucinogenic apple hanging off an oak tree, it turning into maggots when it was bitten into, and the goatbeast satanic vision, and also, all the witchcraft.

I've agreed with a lot of your posts on Mark and Derek. I appreciate both of them but they're different. Mark is a lot more creative. He knows how to capture his celebrity's personality. Lindsey's symphony freestyle and Sadie's Mario Bros. freestyle were perfect for them.
Derek is the master of production. He must have done team formation competitions as well as solo ones. When he was a team captain, he worked really hard to make sure that his teams were synchronized in movement and costumes. As others have mentioned, he choreographed to his partners' abilities. He put their strengths and removed their weaknesses. He was also a master at camera work, use of props, etc. He really spends time thinking through all the details.
Derek really understands what works on camera. It’s not surprising to me at all that he’s taken steps into directing.
Mark’s choreography, on the other hand, always seemed like it was meant for the stage. Some of his wild swings that didn’t quite work always seemed to me like things that would be wonderful on Broadway, that just didn’t quite film as well. Like his Alice in Wonderland dance. (And fittingly, Broadway is where he’s been lately.)

General Gabbery: DWTS
in Dancing With The Stars
The people who will be taking the time to do this will be “superfans” of a particular person and would have been voting for their person no matter what the performance was anyway.
What it will do is lock out west coast casual voters. Most people won’t take the time to remember to vote. There’ll be less votes overall.
They haven’t disclosed when the voting window is. If it’s the whole show, people who dance early have more time to get votes (or later dancers are just relying on popularity votes.) If it’s a 10 min window at the end of the show, they’ll REALLY cut down on the number of votes they get.
Also, what is up with the weird styling in the promotional material they’ve been putting up? It’s like they’re trying to make the show seem even more stodgy and boring. Its like they decided to accept that their audience is conservative senior citizens and leaned way the hell in?
Why is everyone dressed like they’re going to a funeral?
