DWTS S26: All-Athletes Edition! (i.e. the DWTS thread for NOT yammering about what happened 24 years ago)

[Sasha'sSpins]

Reading the live blog at the site Pure DWTS, which gets a lot of insider info. They're thinking that Mirai's "valley girl thing is kind of annoying" but that she could win "unless she rubs people the wrong way."

To each their own. I think Mirai is adorable and sweet. Not every personality meshes with everyone.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

I can totally see my two play children in the finale

and if Adam sings at some point, even better

I have FIVE play children - Adam, Mirai, Nathan and the Shibs.

Back ot, that dress is HORRIBLE on Tonya. What was the wardrobe mistress or whoever thinking? Are they TRYING to make her look bad on purpose??

 

[BaileyCatts]

Lies lies and more lies.

 

[my little pony]

lol at 2x natl champion! sometimes facts get in my way too

 

[floridaice]

Well, that story is going to really piss people off.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Tonya, you do not DESERVE anything in this world! No one DESERVES anything in this world! The fact that you think you DESERVE this makes you sound even more annoying than you already are. Way to keep turning people off to you with your attitude.

yeah the wardrobe mistress is team Nancy apparently, it's very mother of the bride on a polygamous compound

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Tonya saying she WAS the best figure skater in the world - and then had it taken 'away from me'.

Sasha seems totally on her side. They're not shying away too much from the '94 incident.

 

[meggonzo]

Wow, that was better than I expected.

 

[floridaice]

she has nice arms and hands. Pretty good for a middle aged, out of shape, ex skater.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Nice effort from Tonya imo. Good job. And she gets a standing O! Allison Chaney in tears!

 

[rfisher]

Oh, poor Tanya. Boo Hoo.

 

[BaileyCatts]

If Adam only got 8's then that should only get 6's.

 

[nimi]

Okay, so her dancing was a lot better than I expected (especially as far as the upper body movement is concerned). Which is a fairly low bar, but still.

The floor spin thingy was weird but also kinda cool.

 

[leigh466]

Tonya was really good!

 

[screech]

Dancing-wise, one of the best of the night.

And amazing to see Allison Janney there.

 

[mrr50]

I cannot believe they went there

 

[Allskate]

Maybe she had to make her own costume and this was the best she could do.

There are plenty of people watching who aren't old enough to remember Tonya and may just believe everything she says.

 

[Garden Kitty]

So is there no phone voting this week?

 

[shan]

Tonya surprised me with her fluidity.

 

[tony]

Tonya was fantastic. I didn’t expect that at all.

 

[wickedwitch]

Thus far, no skater has come on and been bad, including Evan and Nancy. I'm not surprised Tonya did a solid job.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Carrie Ann calls Tonya a beautiful dancer and added that Tonya blew her away! Len thinks she's 'charming' a lovely performance. Good reviews from all 3 judges for the most part, just some light criticism.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Oh BULLSHYTE!!! That was NOT as good as Adam!!!!! Nor did it deserve an 8 from CarrieAnn over her 7 for Mirai if she is "judging the dance".

 

[floridaice]

skaters killing it

 

[leigh466]

But, I don't get why they low-balled Mirai?

 

[my little pony]

when Tonya said "he has to beat his wife" I thought she meant that literally

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

8 from Carrie Ann!! She's tied with Mirai!

 

[dinakt]

Tonya looked good, and it couldn't have been easy.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

But, I don't get why they low-balled Mirai?

Neither do I. Tonya did a great job but imo Mirai should be ahead of her on points.
