Yay Mark! I think I’m going to be emotionally invested tonight.

I expect a lot of contemporary tonight and that 1st one confirmed it. Beautiful but not perfect.

I will never like Contemporary. Even when they're pretty. It's just so damned subjective. And often too emotionally manipulative. 

I'm glad the judges called them out on the side by side spins being out of sync.

I missed the issues they pointed out in Chandler's dance, but yeah, it was lovely. 

I got worn out just watching Stephen's gymnastics moves at the start of his dance :p. That was a good one, though.

I remain resolved that Contemporary is pretentious nonsense. I fail to see how that had anything to do with his college coach. Whatever. And of course Carrie Ann is crying.

I can’t believe we’re already half through the season, feels like it just started. Danny improved today and good instructions from CAI. Wish mark could stay as judge.

I actually thought this was Stephen's worst dance. Kind of clunky in spots.

I love Stephen and have been rooting for him since the beginning.   But I've found all his dance to be, as you say, clunky.   He's enthusiastic and athletic; but he is not graceful.  

Although I have a theory based on his high scores (and Chandler's)  -- now that Eric and Reginald are gone the judges can give higher scores without making it so obvious that Eric and Reg were just really, really bad.

I totally agree with your earlier post, Contemporary ain't it for me either. It is too subjective and emotionally manipulative. Carrie-Anne's crying was over the top.

A Rumba dedicated to your kids? Uh, ok.

Not a lot of movement from Dwight on this one. I said this last week, I think this guy has hit his ceiling.

Yes - I should clarify, I hate it on this show because judging it against traditional ballroom or Latin dances is like apples and oranges. Something that has no rules versus dances that do. It's total B.S.

Were on the same page then 😊

it would only be fair if everyone danced contemporary on the same night.

I agree, could be lack of practice time or a ceiling or both.

Still wowed by the work Daniella has done though.

Wow, Haley and Derek put the whole graphic details for us to see! It’s like Benson Boone wrote this song for them, perfect and so beautiful. I will always live the power of contemporary it I can see how it should not be compared to ballroom.

That  was lovely,  so much better. She looked softer   and she danced softer..

I liked it, too. I've been liking all the dances tonight. 

Wow, that story about Haley and her health scare. Damn. How frightening. I'm so glad she's doing so much better and wish her well. That was a truly emotional dance.

Yikes I had no idea they went through that. Miraculous comeback indeed.

Say what you want about Brooks, that family has great genes. And that was a good Salsa too.

Joey's Viennese Waltz was pretty darn good - but there's no mistaking him for a pro. Maybe something about his posture or footwork. Carrie Ann is right (for once) - it's in the details.

I think with Joey, he just isn’t athletic and musical, but he has the performance aspect down and actually leads.   Sure, he can refine some details, but considering he wasn’t a dancer, he is doing phenomenally.

Joey and Jenna

A lovely  VW, he's so smooth  and a natural dancer. He's  my winner. 

I know a bunch of Bachelorettes have won, but I think he is the first Bachelor with a legit shot at the Mirror Ball.  

Or am  I forgetting someone?

Agreed. Capturing the performance/emotion aspect of a dance can be really tough in its own right, so I admire anyone who can make that work.

I can  never remember  them, but I will remember  Joey, he's 100% enjoyable .
