Can someone clue me in on what / why Julianne’s outfit??  Her sparkly shroud?

Alyson keeps losing significant weight every week!

I thought the Brazil shows were canceled due to the heat and death at the concert?

I can understand why Alyson didn't get too many Latin dances 

[dancingdreamer]

Julianne  looks lovely. 

Alyson danced with joy, but her timing was off

Just rescheduled. 

I think the change in Alyson has been her confidence.  The first few weeks she was so worried about making mistakes, so she kept making those silly faces because she felt embarrassed by her lack of skill.  Now she knows she can dance.  She’ll never be as good as Xochitl or Arianna, but she has come so far.  

[Annber03]

Yeah, I'll agree with some of the critiques of the dance being a little fast and the timing and whatnot. Still a cute dance in general - Bruno's thing about it looking like a scene from a romantic comedy was spot on, and I liked that about it. The end with the "I love you (in a comedic way)" sign was cute.

There ya go!  I knew there had to be something very specific.  Thanks!

[Andiethewestie]

Ariana is a nice dancer. I would have liked to see better footwork and when her leg straddled it needed to be tighter. 
 

[dancingdreamer]

Ariana  and Pasha 

 

Beautiful  Ariana,  Pasha great choreography 

 

10 from Bruno

[Annber03]

Yeah, that was a good one. I thought they might get at least one more 10, given all the praise they got, but still a nice score in general overall. 

[MerBearHou]

Clueless me — I did not know Pasha and Daniella are married!

Edited November 22, 2023 by MerBearHou

[dizzyd]

I love how Pasha supports Dani in rehearsals even though he’s competing against her. ❤️ It’s clear they elevate each other’s choreography and mentorship.

[Annber03]

Ooooooooooooooh. Jason. Damn. That was sexy. 

[dancingdreamer]

Jason and Dani

Great footwork, he's back alright! Wow

[Andiethewestie]

Jason did well tonight -I could see he was thinking about the next move but if the judges want him to go through they will reward him 

So glad Jason got rewarded he deserved it!

They had their 1st baby in May I knew they’d been married awhile but just saw that it’s been 9 years.

That was 40 worthy!

And I muted for Harry.

Harry :Nice song shitty dancing 

Edited November 22, 2023 by Andiethewestie

[Annber03]

Congrats to Jason on the perfect score! I'm genuinely happy about that. 

The judges' comments to Harry are so...polite :p. 

[DEL901]

Harry did NOT do better than Alyson!!

[Stats Queen]

Harry’s marginal improvement compared to Alyson’s amazing improvement is something to see. And why are the judges.

 Are Carrie Ann and Mandy on drugs. In what planet was that “dance” worthy of an 8? It’s insulting to viewers who want to see actual dancing.

[Andiethewestie]

WTF an 8 for standing around unbelievable they are keeping this idiot on and he's above Alyson? GTFO

[dizzyd]

Seems like they’re pandering to his seemingly gigantic fan base. Who the fuck are these fans?!

[chicagofan]

Well get ready to say goodbye to Alyson. The more I see Harry, the more I can't even stand to listen to him much less watch him dance.

Oh so happy to to be wrong. Can I have some no sugar added whipped topping to help me eat my words?

Harry is lighter on his feet, Rylee is a terrific  dancer. Harry, not much hip work 

[DEL901]

I love Artem’s spats.  Charity is precise, but I don’t see the snap.  

[Annber03]

That was a good tango. I liked that. 

My mom likes "Look What You Made Me Do" :D. She and Taylor actually share a birthday!

Dancing with the Stars won't survive another Bobby Bones situation. 

[dizzyd]

Doesn’t happen much but I completely agree with CA. Charity has excellent technique but I just don’t feel her dances, she doesn’t connect. 

[Riplet68]

Charity has the moves down…but there’s something about how she puts her feet down..like she stomps them down or something. It just makes her moves look heavy.

[dancingdreamer]

Charity did a pretty good AT, it needed more snap. I agree with CA about Charity's  face.

[Quickbeam]

So happy about Jason. That was lovely. I’m voting for the first time, he gets all my votes. Watching Daniella and Pasha dance was *chefs kiss*. 

[Andiethewestie]

Not only does. Charity needs more snap she needs to be more precision on the feet. They are too far apart in the circular sequence and her transitions in and out of her lifts were more cheerleader than tango

Xochi’s mom is so sweet. ❤️And that QS was amazing!

Edited November 22, 2023 by dizzyd

[Annber03]

That dance from Xochitl was SUPER charming. I couldn't stop grinning watching that. That was fun. 

[Andiethewestie]

Quickstep good but technical issues too far apart and she dropped her dance position

It was fun and I love their outfits. 

[chicagofan]

Barry in the audience!

[DEL901]

Grrr.   Seeing Alyson lower than Harry on the leader board….grrr.

eta…or should I say Grr…Arg!

Edited November 22, 2023 by DEL901

[dizzyd]

Couldn’t Ariana or Xochi be up against Harry?

That's cheerleading and she hasn't been able to lose it 

[dancingdreamer]

I didn't  see Xochi lose focus CA. It was damned fast with great footwork 

[crowceilidh]

OMG Alfonso's suit!  It blew my mind.  The precision of the taloring and the fit and the AWESOME colour.  He just pulls it off so well.

[dizzyd]

I say xochi over Ariana. I find myself only looking at xochi during her dances and Val is just there.

Edited November 22, 2023 by dizzyd

[Andiethewestie]

I liked them both edge to Ariana ?

[ams1001]

Harry is fun to watch? Okay..

[Andiethewestie]

Alyson hands down no contest 

[MerBearHou]

If it’s purely on which choreography I enjoyed more, I have to say it was Rylee’s.   I thought Val’s choreography was kind of boring.

[Annber03]

Well, I'm going to have "Shake it Off" in my head the rest of the night now :p. 

Between the two, I'm going for Alyson. 

[ams1001]

That was fun but my favorite Shake It Off performance is and always will be The Rock on Lip Sync Battle.
