Quote

Each of the five couples take the stage to showcase two all-new performances as they fight for a spot in the finale.

Air date: Nov 28, 2023

Was this number longer than the usual dances? Good job Ari!

[Annber03]

I've figured out who Pasha reminds me of a bit - from some angles he looks a little like Donnie Wahlberg in the face. 

But yeah. That was a fun dance. 

[dancingdreamer]

Ariana  dancing  with an injury, Pasha is a wonderful  pro.

She'll  make the finale based on her body of work.

[DEL901]

Thank goodness Jason is the last man standing, not Harry.  That was lovely.  

[Annber03]

Oh. That was lovely. Nicely done, Jason. 

[dizzyd]

Omg I’m sobbing watching this VW. It was beautiful! And thanks to him for a beautiful song. How did it take 10 episodes to find out Jason gets dizzy? 

[dancingdreamer]

Dani and Jason, that was wonderful.  Very light and lovely. 

[DEL901]

I’ve already voted.  10 for Alyson and 5 for Jason.  The rest….well, I like everyone, but these 2 are my faves.

So glad not to have to see Harry hovering in the background during the interviews.

I feel for him with that, 'cause that'd probably be me if I tried some of those dances, too :p. 

[dancingdreamer]

I voted for Jason, he's  a lovely  dancer, with a great voice.

[dizzyd]

Love me some xochi but her hip moves were lacking, not as strong as what I’d expect from a samba but I expect high scores from the judges.

[Annber03]

...holy shit, Xochitl. 

Damn. That was GOOD. 

[dancingdreamer]

Xochi is so sweet,  nice dance.

[Annber03]

I liked the purple for Charity's dance, it really added to the mood and she looks really  nice in purple. 

[Ladybugnine]

The way Dotun just towers over everyone he’s around is so funny to me.

[DEL901]

Artem is a lot taller than Charity.  She is so tiny…beside Dotun, she’s practically miniature.

Charity has wonder limbs, this dance showed them off beautifully.  Charity is back! Showing  emotions, like the judges knew she had.

[dizzyd]

Love Aly but boy was that a mess. Time to go I think. Both jives today were longer than 1.5 minute.

[Annber03]

Sasha jumping on her as he did made me gasp. That was brave on her part :p! 

[DEL901]

The judges are setting the stage for Alyson leaving tonight.  I know she is the worst, but I want her to make the final.

[dancingdreamer]

Alyson  has danced her heart out, that's what this show is about. I'm voting  for her,  she brings joy to the floor.

[Ladybugnine]

Jason’s Pasó was really good!

[Annber03]

That was fantastic. His dance and Xochitl's first one wore me out just watching them. I'm impressed at the ability to keep all those moves straight. 

[MerBearHou]

Jason and Daniella Paso doble — OMG.  That was unreal.

[dancingdreamer]

Jason wow, those knee walks. I'll watch that again, because  it was difficult  and I give him a 10.

[Andiethewestie]

Really impressed with that competition level Paso. We rarely see that on this show.  Go Jason and Dani omg she's got such gorgeous costume 

[SnarkAttack]

Jason is so nonchalant, love it!

Fun fact  so I was in Windsor a couple of years ago to see DWTS. I got in the elevator  and Artem was there and he's not a tall man. 

[Annber03]

Watching Xochitl makes me feel so lazy. 

I want her dress1 She looks so beautiful! And that was a gorgeous dance. So mature and regal. 

[Quickbeam]

Charity is super tiny. 
 

Jason was so impressive. He’s got my votes. 

[MerBearHou]

Good grief, Carrie Ann.  

[dizzyd]

Xochi was absolutely beautiful. I felt every bit of it. Jason’s Paso seemed good technically but it was just a series of steps executed well but I felt nothing but they got a perfect score. 

[chicagofan]

I just noticed - what's the deal with the shoulders on Carrie Ann's dress?

[Andiethewestie]

Technically Xochiti  need more risr and fall she needs to push off with her lead leg, but as a performance with the roses  flying it was good but forgettable 

[dancingdreamer]

Xochi and Val.

 

I got goosebumps,  it was flawless,  and those 10's were well deserved.  Wow

[dizzyd]

I don’t understand why the finale has 4 couples. We’ve had 2 couple finales with 3 dances each before so why not have 2 more weeks? We’d still be done before Christmas.

[MerBearHou]

Very well done, Charity!  That looked exhausting.

[Annber03]

Oh, that was a really cute dance from Charity :D. I really enjoyed that one. 

[dizzyd]

I’d really like to give props to the cameraman who gets all round the dance flawlessly. At least I think it’s a cameraman and not a drone. 

[Andiethewestie]

Waaay too far apart in dance position top line was bouncing around instead of still but it was fun 

[chicagofan]

Charity still isn't doing it for me. To me, not 10 worthy.

Technically you're right but she's improved a lot

I still don’t feel connected to her as a dancer. This Jive was the excellent and highly enjoyable to watch.

[dancingdreamer]

Charity is showing  us her emotions,  her personality,  and her ability  to dance.Well done

[dizzyd]

It is impossible to not love Alyson. That was beautiful and she has given it her all. 

[Andiethewestie]

Alyson's rise and fall was far superior to Xochiti but she doesn't have the finish or the flair of musical theatre training 

[DEL901]

That was beautiful and if she has to go home tonight, she is leaving on such a high note.  

[Andiethewestie]

Alyson is probably going home but her fanbase might send Jason home
