S33.E07: Halloween Night

[Annber03]

Ooh, that was an eerie little dance from Chandler. 

[Stats Queen]

Chandler was amazing and I felt connected to her for the first time.

I think CAI hates Chandler and Ilona

[DEL901]

Tonight’s scoring.  Ilona has 24.  Joey and Chandler have 29.  The other 4 have 28.   WTF, judges?

And I guess I was wrong about Chandler getting the first 30.  WTF, Cari Ann finally found the rest of her paddles after giving out 5 10s.

Chandler and Brandon dance a VW

I love this song, and it was danced beautifully 

CA, blah blah blah

I’m not on board with whatever stupid agenda CA has going on.

[Stats Queen]

Really wish they hadn’t made the colors on one side red and blue on the other side. I don’t want to think about the election for two hours.

[Desperado]

Dwight and his fringe pants will win this.

[dizzyd]

I’ll give it to Dwight. Lmao at the fringe pants.

[Annber03]

Hm, that was tough, I liked both Dwight and Ilonna in this one. 

[chitowngirl]

Nice to see Eric Roberts in the audience!

Ilona particularly.

[dancingdreamer]

Dance off - Dwight  dances beside Ilona

That's a tough one, they are both so good!!

I love Ilona's dress ..sexy! 

Dwight and Daniella  get extra  points( I think  they were a tad better.

 

 

 

 

[chitowngirl]

Boy there is a lot of filler with fewer couples!

[Annber03]

Okay, ,I legit laughed at Stephen's "That really sucks, I'm sorry" in response to Jenn talking about experiencing a breakup on national TV :p. I appreciate that Jenn has a sense of humor about that, 'cause that would be tough. 

Think I'll give the edge to Jenn and Sasha on that one, but they were both fun to watch. 

[dizzyd]

Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice, love it! This goes to Stephen.

[Desperado]

Jenn and Stephen are adorable at talking trash. 😂

Jenn dance off with Stephen - salsa

I can't  decide,  maybe Jenn.

 

 

 

[dizzyd]

It was funny how the choreo was the same at the start. I’d give it to Joey.

[iMonrey]

I'm worried Ilona is going home, she is way down in the scores. I think the Dance-Off is mostly bullshit, whichever couple is furthest away from the judges is at a disadvantage. And sure enough, both the winning couples so far were the ones closest to the judges.

[chitowngirl]

I think Stephen (and choreographer Rylee) is relying a bit too much on the gymnastics “tricks”.

Contemporary should be reserved for the finale….I like seeing the technique of ballroom.

Yeah, I wondered how intentional that was :p. 

I agree, I think I'd give the edge to Joey here, but again, they were both entertaining. 

[dancingdreamer]

Joey  and Danny, omg love them . both 

It's a tie..lol

Oh man, delicious,  I mean good 

 

I was drawn to Danny

 

[dancingdreamer]

Dwight  is safe !!

Danny is safe

Joey is also safe.

Ilona  is safe( she looked so worried) 

Going home, Jenn and Sasha..well done Jenn, thankyou. 

[DEL901]

Oh, poor Jenn.   She even won her dance off.  And she got a 10.   

[iMonrey]

Well that's too bad. The judges and the show gave Dwight a massive gift this week. He's probably getting lots of votes too. I guess I'm glad Ilona was spared though. There's no way Dwight out-danced her in the Dance-off, that was pure bullshit.

[DEL901]

I wonder if having 2 people from the Bachelor franchise hurt her in the voting?

[Annber03]

Wow, a little surprised by that result. They kind of looked like they weren't all that suprirsed, though. 

Sad to see them go, I liked them. Just gonna keep getting tougher from here, 'cause I like all the other remaining couples as well. 

[dizzyd]

Did they put chandler in the bottom 3 on purpose? It’s going to be difficult saying bye to anyone left, I like them all.

I think so and Joey is so good.

Maybe she needs the votes?   And bottom 3 can galvanize a fan base.

I want Carrie Ann fired

I’m over both CA and Bruno. I’m glad there was no non dancer guest judge this week.

i’m so happy ilona is safe

Chandler has been there twice.  So has Stephen.  Jenn was there last week, and she got voted off this week.

Danny has the NFL.  Joey The Bachelor.  Ilona and Dwight have the underdog narrative, but I don't think either will win.

It gets harder with only a few people left. 

[Quickbeam]

I just keep thinking that Rylee doesn’t know what to do with Stephen. I think he has potential but needed a different pro. Dani really threw down with that contemporary with Dwight. I felt like they scored it that high in tribute to her. The risk level was off the charts. 

[babyhouseman]

Yes, I think Jenn competing with Joey hurt her. I have to admit Joey is good, but I thought Jenn was better than Ilona and Dwight. I don't even remember any dances from the Bachelorette winners, and they didn't have to compete with Joey. Sasha still has no mirror ball trophy.

Carrie Ann seemed to be on something. She seems to favor the men over the women. She was getting on my nerves.

Jenn was better than Ilona and Dwight. In my opinion, Ilona gets better every week. I like that ones who are left except Dwight.

[DietCokeJunkie]

I don’t know if this link to instagram will work, but Daniella and Dwight are giving Ilona and Alan a run for their money with these videos. That’s why they get the votes.

I'm coming to love Ilona as she gets more and more confident.  I want to see that keep on going.  The costumers are okay with her, but I could do better<grin>.

Dwight and Dani's dance was legit scary and Joey and Jenna were legit freaky.  I think Halloween night kinda sucks usually, but they were all kinds of good and so were all the in between dances with the cast.  I always like those.  The other time fillers were pretty yawn inducing.

Derek and Bruno's little sketch at the beginning was hilarious because of how ON their comic timing was.  If you described it to me, I would've found the whole concept tedious, but their performance elevated it to comic.

I wasn't paying careful attention, but when Joey and Jenna went on the haunted house ride, was Val with Jenna?  They seemed to be purposefully obscuring who her date was.  Maybe because they'd have had to pay him?  Or maybe it wasn't Val?

I wish they'd replace Carrie Ann and Bruno.  I'm so over both of them.

Devastated to learn that the show won't be on next week.  I'm going to desperately need a distraction from the news.

I missed the beginning, did they say why Niecy Nash wasn’t there? First post here said she was supposed to be a guest judge.

i had no idea who Steven was when he was in the background in the Skybox until it was his turn. Excellent makeup.

Joey LEADS. I’d love to see him win.

it looked like Danny got confused right at the beginning of his dance— his left hand didn’t know where to go — and I thought it threw him off for much of the dance. Was surprised his score was so high.

 I love Ilona and hope she makes it at least to the semifinals.

I read blind gossip that has Jenn as a Julianne replacement next season. Gosh I hope not. I like her and am sorry she was booted this soon, but cannot stand her voice. I end up muting her.

I'm the MINORITY for sure...do NOT care  for Joey. Blech.  He's good but...whatever.

Judges fucking love him

 

[LennieBriscoe]

 IMO, in no way was Danny's Argentine Tango better than Stephen's AT the other week. Danny did not dance enough to merit a 10, especially from the usually hyper-critical CAI. 🤨

Up to tonight I will say that Stephen's  outfits have not done him any favors.

Sasha has a weird "Seth Green on a manic day" face. 

Stephen was AWESOME!! Very stalker-monster! 👹👏👏👏

Oh, my, I do not care for the Charlie Manson dancer Derek had as his exemplar. 😱

Stephen and Rylee do not deserve on merit to be tied for second-last.

Same. I liked him at first but he gives me kind of a weird vibe lately. His whole persona just reads as fake to me.

I hope not either. She is not a great speaker and we, like, she likes to use the word like a lot

[boyznkatz]

I skipped most of the season because of the criminal, but I did tune in last night. Sorry, but Dwight, Ilona, Stephen and Danny all suck. The only good ones were Jenn, Joey and Chandler. I was shocked and disgusted that Jenn got eliminated and Chandler was on the bottom three. At this point in the competition, you would expect some better dancing. The choreography wasn't impressive either, except for Jenna and Daniella. I do admit that Brandon has grown as a choreographer, though. Chandler's dance was lovely.

Oh how I miss the days of Maks, Derek, Cheryl, Karina, etc. They would take mediocre dancers and make them good.

I would be okay with Julianne and Carrie Ann going anytime. Shirley Ballas or Anna or Karina or Kym could be a judge. Bring back Erin or Brooke to replace Julianne. And I miss Len! He wouldn't have given those crappy dances by Dwight and Danny a 9.

Yes?

I don't understand your point AND I couldn't see how it answered my question.

Quickbeam's point is that since they're married, why would you assume the "mysterious" stranger you didn't see because you weren't paying attention was anyone other than Val? They weren't "purposely obscuring" that it was Val. He even spoke.

[crowceilidh]

Oh thanks.  When I looked up there seemed to be one of those blurs on her partner tucked beside her on the train, so I thought they were concealing something - maybe it was a smudge on my glasses.

Sorry, Quickbeam.

I always like the Halloween show, and I thought last night was a vast improvement over Disney night in both costumes and music. That being said, I was totally pissed at CAI's tongue bath over everyone EXCEPT Ilona and Chandler.

I guess I am biased, but I didn't think Dwight, Stephen, and Danny were any better than Ilona. Contemporary is total bullshit on this show because it's always overscored. Ilona's scores were ridiculous considering they were the same scores she's been getting and she is much improved. Shoot, they were giving Phaedra 8's for barely moving! I saw an article this week interviewing CAI and she was saying one person's 10 looks different than someone else's because they come into the competition with different skill levels. Well, which is it Carrie Ann? Because based on that logic, Ilona who came in with zero dance experience has improved considerably since the competition started but everyone else is getting a bump except her? Grrrrr.......

Joey continues to astound. I love him. Dwight should have gone instead of Jenn, but I just think she was splitting Bachelor votes with Joey. Their faces said they knew it was coming.
