SophiaPehawkins May 12, 2016 Share May 12, 2016 I really wish Peta and Nyle were dancing with Edyta or Karina instead. I can't warm up to Jenna at all. I'm dangerously close to sounding like a hater, but she's a little too muggy when it comes to the camera. I'm actually surprised that Mark would get that song again for another Samba. Speaking of redundant, Val is doing another Paso Doble trio with Artem and Lindsay and Witney are, too. Sometimes I wish they'd shake things up. At least we'll get to see Artem's chest and that's never a bad thing. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/43198-s22e09-week-9/#findComment-2232898

She's stronger in the contemporary dances IMO. She's good in Latin & Ballroom as well...I just think there are other female pros that are stronger. Some of her super fans are very sensitive and if you offer any critique of Jenna you are deemed a hater. But she legit does some weird stuff with her face. The most recent example of this was during the pro opening number for week 8. I guess she was trying to be sexy but it veered off into comical porno face. It is actually distracting from her dancing. Back in the day Mark had a similar issue with pulling some crazy over the top faces. He toned it down...I wish she would do the same. The dance starts at 2:44.

Antonio is the weakest dancer, but he had some very good moments. And he can power lift, something they want for finales. For sure the show is not going to send two black contestants home together again like they sent Kim and Von. The two women is a question mark. I am hoping people saw through the manipulation and get Paige that finale spot. Mark will definitely have the more entertaining choreography for the Freestyle, and he has a contestant that has no fear and can attack it. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/43198-s22e09-week-9/#findComment-2247133

RedFiat May 16, 2016 Share May 16, 2016 Well for me, not only has this gimmick been done last season, the season with Erin Andrews and way back when Apolo and Julianne did their freestyle, the judges are going to be fawning all over it like it's never been done before and Nyle is the second coming of Christ. Moreover, I read about the profoundly deaf from birth, they have a better sense of peripheral vision than a hearing person. So if you side eye blindfolded, Nyle is probably better at it than most of us. And yet it's going to come off as some sort of amazing feat, when it's a gimmick designed to distract from his shortcomings as a dancer.

PhD-Purgatory15 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 (edited) I'm now even more worried that Paige is halfway to a parting gift "60" on her way out. Although, you could alternatively read it as her having to go first (and maybe middle-ish if she's toward the beginning of the traditional round)...maybe it could mean that it's a final attempt by the show to suppress her votes in the finale.
