I wish they’d stop trying to convince me the criminal deserves my vote.  Not gonna happen.   Lowest energy quick step ever.

Ana taking away nothing. She gave nothing either.

Haha, Brooks and Gleb not even pretending there’s no extracurricular activities going on after 9-5. Not a bad QS. 

Always best to get ahead of the rumors right off the bat. Playing coy will only last so long :p. 

But yeah, that was cute. I agree it was a little rushed at times and she got a little ahead of herself, but still, cute.

"Nothing." Well, okay, then. 

I would have guessed Tori would have stayed longer too, but I guess her “followers” weren’t voting enough, lol.  
 

As for the other, ABC was stupid to have her on the show.  Thank goodness she is gone.

So Dancing with the Stars is set of rehabilitate Anna’s image, I find this very annoying.

Unlike Julia Fox, I don’t think Anna was shown an public effort to seek forgiveness.

YES. Stop trying to rehabilitate her. She ruined people's lives, at least for a few years. She's not cute, she's not harmless and she's not an "entrepreneur."

Typical classless response from the criminal.

Yes, I was surprised Tori left before Eric. Surely she has more goodwill built up than he does, and her dance tonight was much better.

Happy Stephen is safe.

Derek is becoming the new Len with his strict comments. I think he told Brandon Chandler danced better than him. Brandon has always been a weaker pro. He actually has a possible winner if he steps it up.

Gleb and the model can go. He's sexing it up again. 

As a Dirty Dancing fan, I have to say that was interesting. Derek and Bindi and Val and Kelly danced to it in previous shows.

Poor Sasha. First he finally gets a Bachelorette, and there's also a Bachelor everyone adores. Then the sound issue.

That's kind of a shame. Tori was never going to win but she deserved to stay longer than Eric or Reginald. I guess people were just as wigged out by her face as I was. 

That said, it occurs to me that after we lose deadweight like Eric and Reginald there are quite a few contenders this season. Nobody is really running away with it.

Jenn, Danny, Chandler, Stephen, Joey, Phadra, Dwight, and even Brooks are all really quite good. Although I'm not sure what kind of fanbase Brooks has. 

I think Ilona has a shot too, just based on votes, and she dances quite well. I really enjoyed her Salsa. I'm just not sure she can hold her own against some of the stronger dancers.

I also think Dwight is going to have problems with dances in hold and that's going to weigh him down. 

I wasn't overly impressed with Phadra this week. It felt like Val did most of the dancing. But the judges seem to love her. I think she was a bit overscored.

I just don't want to see Eric or Reginald outlast some of the stronger dancers. We get stuff like that every season and it's really dispiriting.

I am also weirdly feeling sorry for Tori.  I was not a 90210 viewer, always considered her a below average actress, and found her public persona kind of annoying, but she came across as humble and happy to be there.  I was actually liking her.  And she was a pretty good dancer, too!  I like Reginald and Eric (and have great respect for Erica as an actor), but they are so far below the level of all the others, and at least one of them should have been gone.

Outside of “Inventing Anna” I know very little about Anna Delvey aside from her crimes.  She certainly seems like a very joyless person, but at first, I thought maybe she was using dark humor when, after asked what she took from this experience, she tersely replied, “Nothing.”  (Since, you know, she took so much from so many…)  Upon further reflection, I think I was giving her too much credit.  I think she’s just a sour person.  Why did she even agree to do this show??

Jenn got shortchanged tonight with the audio issues but she needed to be sharper on the Tango. Sasha was right to fight for her. They should have scored a little better.


I am still thinking yeah the Olympians are cute but their dancing isn't really that great. Stephen dances like he's doing gymnastics elements not putting any finesse into the movement and Ionia was a hot mess even though it was fun the lifts were sloppy and gimmicky And why flats over proper Latin heels?

Danny stepped it up tonight still needing some connective flow but better and I can see him starting to relax but he's still in his head with respect to the next move.

Brooks is a pretty good Dancer, she has a dud of a partner in Gleb. I guess Gleb was told he had to showmance the heck out it because it's not funny it's just cringy. And Brooks is low key dating Tom Brady, so there's that. Regardless she would be better served with a better teacher. Wrong frame and I thought for sure CA would have called out the lift or breaking hold. None of it happened.

Joey got the smoulder going but not proper hip action, the Rumba walks looked more like race walking than Rumba. At least there's chemistry.

Dwight surprised me in a good way. Last time he had 4 days to prep the Salsa. Now with the Foxtrot I saw a lovely frame and flow a bit of stumble but overall a beautiful piece. Given his height being a major drawback for ballroom Dani did the impossible. His Ballroom is actually quite good and dare I say better than Iman. This had by far the best music of the night. An easy tempo Foxtrot which was perfect for the student to maintain timing. 
 

I loved the beautiful choreography for Chandlers dance.She demonstrates emotion, vulnerability and great Rumba elements. I thought the rope turns were gorgeous Derek! I think Brandon is doing a great job showcasing her, but I wish he put more of himself into the dance. Perhaps it was a choice to treat her as porcelain Barbie, but fans want to see chemistry. 

Phaedra's Foxtrot. She's a lovely woman but I can't stand Val's Foxtrots. They never have any meaningful content, it's just Val dancing around and Phaedra running to keep up. I felt like she could have been taught a few feather steps at least. 
 

Reggie and Eric are roughly the same but the judges want to reward Reggie so Eric is next I guess. Improvement was minimal. 

Tori seems so fragile dancing. I expected her to leave a bit later over the  boomers. I wish fans wouldn't pity vote men and ignore the women.

Anna should never been cast. Ezra worked his ass off and not even thank you.  Wow 

Taking into account Carrie Ann's overscorimg I agree with most of the ranking tonight.

Does Stephen have indestructible glasses or something? I could never throw mine like that! Or are they a dummy pair and Alphonso is holding the real ones the whole time?

I doubt Stephen would throw his real glasses! Last night I saw Alfonso give them to him, so either he holds them or they are at the judges table. He probably throws a prop pair. That would be cute, his trademark move being throwing his glasses before every dance. Unless he is doing a Rumba or a more solemn dance.

Anna - what a charmless asshole. Get off my screen, you blank-eyed sociopath. Hope you have better luck next season, Ezra. I want to say they couldn't give you anyone worse, buuuuuut Susan Smith is up for parole soon and I don't want to put that kind of energy out into the universe. DWTS clearly has no qualms about criminal chachas.

I am glad that Anna is gone. She could have said something along the lines of “I’m taking away a new friend in ezra” or just a simple “I had a good time learning ballroom steps” I mean seriously, my heart broke for ezra that she couldn’t even thank him for his hard work putting up with her ass. 
 

Joeys rumba was very good. More hip action was needed on his part. I love that song though, choreography was gorgeous. 
 

Setephen Stephen Stephen, I like him as a person but so far both of his dances have been spastic. I am waiting for a traditional ballroom dance such as Waltz or foxtrot. 
 

Reginald- not much to say, little improvement. 
 

eric- again, not much to say. Britt looked beautiful. 
 

phaedra- I really want to like this pairing but I’m just not seeing any chemistry. They’re very forgettable to me which is tough bc Val is my favorite male pro. 
 

chandler- she is gorgeous and dances beautifully, she should be in finals. Her lines are just incredible. 
 

danny- light on his feet, surprisingly good in that jive. Love this pairing 

brooks-I hate showmances. I really cannot stand gleb no matter how gorgeous he is. They’re so predictable. Blah. 
 

jenn- I keep forgetting about her. She was okay. I love Sasha and want him to do well 

 

Dwight-light on feet, great musicality, love this pairing. Daniella is just a great partner to everyone and a great pro, she gives me Karina vibes. 
 

ilona- she’s having so much fun and that makes me want to watch her. I love her positive attitude and she’s such a breath of fresh air! 
 

I see the final 3 being chandler, (ilona or Stephen) and Joey with that bachelor nation behind him. (Dwight might sneak in there)

I found it rich that the judges were asking Anna to be her "true self."  This woman is one of the most notorious frauds/shapeshifters/impersonators of our time! she has no true self.  I'm glad she is gone, though I have to admit I loved it when she answered "nothing" to Julianne's "what have you gotten out of this?" That was refreshing and actually honest, and it showed what a cold fish and selfish person she is, in other words, her true self.

I was thinking it might get old if he does it every time, but for the more "fun" dances I don't mind it. It especially worked this time with the Clark Kent/Superman theme. The first time, also, because people were wondering if he would keep them on or not and he made it into a little wink-and-nod thing for those people.

Sort of agree about Ilona, I noticed the tennis shoes too. Mildly disagree about Stephen. I understand the criticism about being "spastic" but his first dance was a Jive and this week's was a Paso. Both lend themselves to energetic movement and this kid's got energy to spare. Plus it's only natural for his partner to choreograph to his gymnastic strengths. They do that with all the gymnasts. We'll see how he does with a Rhumba or a Waltz. He definitely has musicality/rhythm which is more than I can say for some of the others.

100%! Whether it's sociopathy or borderline, this woman seems to have no real self. Her entire MO was presenting herself as something she wasn't! My daughter and I were howling when she said 'nothing'. Buh-bye.

I wish Tori had stayed longer. I was a 90210 fan back in the day and she seemed so genuine.
