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

Ok, or I’m convinced the purposely put Nathan in the seat that would make him visible for Tom’s moments at the end and the beginning of every dance. I just don’t know why...

Mirai deserved all 10s for that dance. That was just beautiful!

I loved Adam, but I give the win to Mirai tonight. :P

Josh kinda stumbled tonight. I was expecting something better, but if he had football training all week, he probably didn't rehearse as much as he should have.

Poor Arike and her Finals week! Of course you have to hit DWTS while you are hot, but based on all her restrictions to not violate NCAA rules, and having to study and go back for Finals, I wonder how much she really got out of this. I hope she did well on her tests!

Chris is a surprise! I won't be surprised to see a Adam, Mirai and Chris Top 3 instead of Josh since he kind of faltered tonight, but ...... the NFLers always have a strong fan base.

Adam and Mirai definitely deserve to be in the Top 3. After tonight, I think Chris gets that 3rd spot.
 
It’s really unfortunate that this season is so freaking short. With the cast that they’ve assembled, we are really missing out on a ton of potential great dances due to the fast schedule. Triple elimination next week? Good lord. :rolleyes:

(That said, the football group dance was fab)
 
Since both American Idol and DWTS have been renewed, I hope they have learned their lesson that these chopped up seasons do NOT work! If they both occupy the same timeslots, then alternate Spring/Fall and only put each show on once per year. American Idol gets Spring and DWTS gets Fall. That would also help keep both shows from getting tired. DWTS is really getting worn out with the 2 a year schedule and ratings have been way down this season. Just put it on once per year in the Fall and do a full season!

Thanks for the recap on TSL. I won't be watching it! Jerks. I used to like Dave but he really has become a real arse over the years.

Back OT I love love love Adam but his Quickstep imo should not be tied with Mirai's - because, once again, he fell out of a turn - just like last week - so how can he receive a perfect score? It's not fair to the competitors (like Mirai) with no such visible errors. In fact, I feel Tonya's Quickstep was just as good, if not better than Adam's tonight!

I'm sad Kareem was eliminated. He is such a champion, a hero and a legend. And so sweet! But with this super short season, it was bound to happen. Arike really tried hard but her poor posture was killing me! Best of luck to her for Finals and her competitive career!

I HATE that this is such a short season, all of the competitors deserve better! Especially Adam, Mirai, and Josh who are clearly the best dancers! And I HATE that they are eliminating THREE couples next week. Bummer. :( And they'd BETTER NOT eliminate Mirai!! :angryfire She deserves to be in that final even if it looks almost certain that Adam will win! And if he does win I won't be so mad as long as Mirai comes in second! :D

You have to vote for her! Next week is so dangerous because so many people will assume Mirai is safe and not vote. Sign into aBc.com and vote.
