How is Derek going to tour the country with his new show and also judge DWTS, which Krysten Burtt says starts Sept 26, at the same time? https://derekhough.com/

I got this off another messageboard so I'd call these rumors, but thought I'd bring them over to help get the party started for 2023: Confirmed "stars": Ariana Madix from Vanderpump Rules Charity Lawson from The Bachelorette Mira Sorvino is rumored. If she's on, DL will have a field day with her. Confirmed pro dancers: Val Chmerkovskiy Jenna Johnson Peta Heavens to Murgatroyd

Thanks! I liked your post not because I'm happy about the news but because I appreciate your answering. Years ago they split up - it was right after Artem came back to DWTS after working on Strictly Come Dancing for a few years. I don't know if it's related but I remember being curious about the timing. But then they got back together... and now this. Oh well, I hope they're still friends.

I haven't been keeping up for ages, but this really is great news - but I'd rather have Cheryl than Julianne upstairs. (or is the celebuquarium still upstairs?) I know I don't deserve being paid attention to when I've checked out for so long - but if anybody's willing to answer, can I ask if Emma and Sasha really did break up? And if there's any other gossip I've missed (I did read somewhere that Mark isn't coming back as a dancer - weird that he briefly reappeared after so long away.) Anyway, roll on Primetimer - I thought I'd lost you !!

Finally watched and I think surfing the 'net and Youtube has ruined me - I thought the show would never end! And the worst part is after the judges speak, Tyra asks those inane questions in such an awkward way. Oy. It also annoys me that Derek has the voice of a 14-year-old but gotta admit he knows his dancing. (not that it matters when he scores Mel C the same as The Miz - producer micro-managing again...) Oh and at the end of the intro, Len says, "It's been a great ride." And it made me nervous but he did seem a bit weaker? He fumbled for his paddle once, Bruno did too but I wondered if it was to cover for Len - and late in the show, he was mumbling about not being done with his critique... anyway, I'm just a grouch this season. I seem to disagree with everyone else here - I thought Melora was awful. Like a hunched, floppy ragdoll (though the energy was good). Derek did mention she was off-balance but the judges loved her too, so what do I know, but I had her as next to the worst, who I don't need to mention (though his little speech was fine, and considering what came after, a good idea - gonna be a short one, Britt.) Did someone here mention Emma didn't wear her wedding rings? I watched after Sasha and Suni's dance, and the camera showed her cheering for them and I did spot those rings. Whew! I don't know about Suni's personality - hopefully it's just nerves, like others have mentioned, but I don't know... So many upbeat personalities, it may be hard for her. I wanted to dislike Jojo (when I saw her, the song, "Send In the Clowns" popped in my mind), but I really liked her -- even though I don't much like Jenna. A lot of good dancers! and I'll be interested in seeing how they do next week, with the exception of BAG and Sharna who made me want to puke - FF time (along with Tyra's questions)

I found a link on here to watch the Australian DWTS the first season Tristan was a judge. I don't know if the link is still on this board somewhere - or if it still works. You can buy a VPN - it's legal - gives you an IP address of another country, like Australia. Here's a highly rated one that is $13 a month - or $10 a month if you sign up for 6 months – or $99 for 15 months https://www.expressvpn.com/order oops.. that's the link to buy it. Here's the home page that tells all about it: https://www.expressvpn.com/

I swear I remember Tara saying something like she was bring more diversity to DWTS. And then, Keo Motsepe is benched. And after he sadly broke up with Chrishell early this year. Yeah right... Wonder who Gleb's seeing lately?

Don't know if this is ok to put here or not - but on the 3rd of May, Tristan and wife Tahyna had their third child, second son: named Tadhg https://www.instagram.com/p/COerG85jnfF/

But Tristan lives in Sydney, Australia. He also hosts a morning show there now, so he probably would be too busy. I think it's called "Studio 10"

Just watched a "Q&A" with Johnny and Britt on their insta-stories. Johnny said his pick among the finalists was Nelly - and he dropped in some shade about not supporting those with professional dance training and experience.

I'd rather Nev win than Kaitlyn -- but Justina's my favorite. I guess she's a long-shot after being 4th (or 5th) place tonight because the judges' scores were pretty close, percentage wise.

Thanks - I didn't know about Nelly. Whoever would have thought he'd outlast Johnny Weir, who's such a beautiful figure skater. I haven't seen his jazz from tonight - but I have to confess I thought Johnny's salsa was awkward. But he did more salsa than Nelly did jive. If Nelly wins... oy. ETA: I won't link but at "eonline" there's an article entitled: Johnny Weir Divorce Drama: Skater Opens Up About Domestic Violence and Nude Photos, Ex Victor Voronov Responds

Wasn't there some physical abuse between Johnny and his former Russian husband? But I thought Johnny was the victim?? (I don't remember very well - but there was a reality show about it) - is that right, Callaphera?

Maybe I'm being too hard on her, but I cringed when Kaitlyn said her friend who died so young would be so happy to see her get so close to the mirrorball. Not sure why - just seems a bit insensitive to turn it to her trivial reality show success?

Yes, that was brutal the way they handled the bottom three. I think they should have announced the one of the three with the best results from fans and judges - and then let the judges pick the one to save of the bottom two. Pointing out that Johnny got the least fan vote, after hes been in the bottom two twice -- just ouch. And I thought Tyra was trying to talk to him to say goodbye or whatever and he couldn't handle it so he turned and walked away - I could be wrong - need to watch it again. I know Nev/whatsername did a good contemporary, but I thought he looked shaky on his feet when he was carrying her and turning round and round at the same time. Small point I guess. ETA: Sheesh I screwed that up -- it wouldn't work. I guess I wish they'd saved one of the three bottom couples instead of announcing who was worst - then the two who weren't saved could leave together and have a buddy to be in the bottom with.
