I don’t see Olivia leaving.  Maybe Melora was giving her goodbye speech?  I can hope…she rubs me the wrong way after that.

[scenicbyway]

Iman should win, that was awesome!

[DEL901]

Iman has really grown as a dancer.

Probably Jimmie and someone like Melora or Iman

Ooh can't wait to watch!! I'm behind rewatching Amanda 

[scenicbyway]

Iman would’ve had 10’s if that was Jazz vs cha cha

I'd be good with seeing him in the finals, definitely :). 

Also, I can't hear "Rhythm Nation" anymore without thinking of this clip from Lip Sync Battle:

Production has Jojo and Olivia earmarked for F4 I bet 

[alexa]

I think Jimmie and Iman must have a lot of the votes, thus the lower scores versus some of the others.

[Annber03]

Aw, that was a cool message from Elton John to JoJo :). And to any parents who won't let their kids listen to her because of her sexual orientation, congrats on leaving your children completely ill-prepared to be part of the real world, you ignorant fools. 

Some good lifts in that dance.

Yep can't have them potentially staying over Jojo and Olivia

My wish is for Olivia and Cody to leave but I almost wonder with her speech if Melora was trying to leave, despite the 10’s?

I thought the same. She was giving the speech cause she knows she's going somehow? 

I stand by Jojo being Bottom 2 last week so Production can get her fans to vote harder. Same with Olivia a couple weeks ago

[Josh371982]

Kaitlyn desperate to stay revelant 

[dizzyd]

Why Kaitlyn? 

[scenicbyway]

I guess I’m not surprised with Kaitlyn joining the tour but, ABC just can’t seem to quit her. She needs some practice. They also need more women on the tour. I’m guessing Val and Jenna are holding out for more money.

[DEL901]

Emma vs Sasha…hubby vs wife.    And that will be repeated next round. 

[Josh371982]

Possibly the 2 Production wants off tonight?

With the top 2 production darlings!!

[Annber03]

Oooh, this is a tough one, Jimmie and Suni were both great during that (and damn, Suni, that flip at the end). 

[Josh371982]

If Jimmie leaves tonight, I've lost my 3 favorite lady pros for the season. 

[nickp1991]

i miss team dances

Still not wearing their rings…

We get it.  You hate them both.  
 

That said, JoJo is amazing. I hate to admit it, but Olivia is pretty good.  

[Lilac2000]

Genuine question...why Olivia? Why do they seem to want to keep her? JoJo I can understand...she is their "historic" contestant. But why Olivia? Her mom is/was a C-List Hallmark star and Aunt Becky from an 80s sitcom and guest star in the reboot who got more famous when she commited fraud. But what makes her daughter enough of a special snowflake that this show wants to keep her? I honestly don't understand.

This post won't age well if Olivia goes home tonight

Edited to add: Whoops!😂

Only DWTS has a semifinals with 6 people left 

[dizzyd]

I preferred Jimmie in the dance off. There was more content. 

[CraftyHazel]

I preferred Jimmie, too.  Dammit.

Sadly it does look at least a little bit that they are trying to get him elimated 

[scenicbyway]

Jimmie had way more content. Maybe Suni needs the votes?

[Josh371982]

One of my fav Janet songs!

Another one I remember hearing a lot when I was a kid :). 

[scenicbyway]

I don’t think either Rumba suited them. 

[DEL901]

Is OJ grinning through another dance?

I was already a teen. But man I found her so sexy and found myself loving the song almost immediately 

[CraftyHazel]

Olivia looked flat footed to me.

SHOCKER 🙄

I mean, you wouldn’t have been happy either way, so…

[dizzyd]

So why was Jenna-Val mentioned but not Emma-Sasha? Are they not still married?

[Annber03]

Agreed with Carrie Ann's pick on that one. There was a nice bit of sexiness in JoJo and Jenna's routine, it really captured the mood of the song.

Janet is a gorgeous woman, no question :D.

Well between the 2 Olivia is the one not known for being a dancer so..... LOL

It is weird.

They haven’t been wearing their rings this  season.  I would think if it was awkward they wouldn’t have paired them against each other.  They are both going on tour, so who knows.

[Josh371982]

Janet is so beautiful in the video for this song. My sisters LOVED this song 

[scenicbyway]

I think Melora was better in the dance off.

[Annber03]

Aw, I like "Again". I remember learning to sing it in my sixth-grade music class :). 

[scenicbyway]

Amanda’s feet looked like they hurt in that dance off. Cody is like the fun cousin/uncle at a wedding dancing with his sister.

[scenicbyway]

In an old season, if Melora had been paired with Derek I think she could’ve won.  Artem holds her back.

[kitcloudkicker]

I feel like I’m supposed to like the dance offs but I find it so hard to pay attention to two different sets of choreography happening at the same time. 
 

I thought Cody finally actually let loose a bit during his though. That’s the energy I was hoping to get from him from the start.

I’m not so sure, she seems a bit high strung the way Marilu was and that pairing certainly imploded.

Is Carrie Ann still on a break from The Talk? Is she just doing DWTS?
