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

[StitchMonkey]

Uh... Really? 70 seconds?!

AKA "This is the popularity contest portion!"

or maybe a hamfisted way to weed out people watching streams that lag behind.

This article has a different order: http://news.lalate.com/2018/05/14/d...results-tonight-514-who-got-dwts-elimination/

Whoops! Sorry if that first order is wrong, I got the order from George Pennacchio from ABC.

[StitchMonkey]

In cute news... Instagram stories indicate that Mariah Bell and Romain Ponsart are in attendance tonight. If anyone likes to scavenger hunt the audience.

 

[meggonzo]

Are the battle dance-offs separate from the regular weekly dances?

 

[miav9]

Omg Adam looks so great! https://twitter.com/Adaripp/status/996177532842983424

sigh... looks like we finally saw the clip from when Mirai's mom was making orange juice for a film crew... kinda expected that she would not get eliminated till that... so i sadly think she may be going home tonight. Sigh... Tonya in the final i guess.

It looks like the battle dances are separate. Here is the voting link: http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/dance-off

Gawd I really hate the producer manipulation! Why don't they just give out the trophy now. They've had an agenda from Day 1.

 

[floridaice]

Love Mirai's dress!

 

[BaileyCatts]

Mirai! That deserves 10s. It better not get anything lower than a 9 (coughcoughCarrieAnncoughcough).

ETA: Really Len?

 

[Debbie S]

Meryl dancing next!

 

[Firedancer]

Mirai looks amazing in that dress! That was fabulous!

 

[miav9]

If you're a Mirai fan don't go on Twitter right now... But she did amazing, I hope her score is enough to get her to the finale!!

 

[my little pony]

Jennie isn't any good

 

[meggonzo]

That was awkward.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Well, she tried.

 

[Firedancer]

Jennie is just ackward for me to watch.

And there should be more separation between her scores and Mirai’s.

I missed whatever this is in reference to.

 

[BaileyCatts]

My own opinion. Nothing that was on the show. I just happened to post it as the show was airing.

 

[Inessence]

I missed whatever this is in reference to.

My guess is the dance order. I'm not sure if they draw numbers or get assigned.

 

[floridaice]

I guess it's no secret that Tonya's MVP will not be her Mom

 

[BaileyCatts]

Chris wasn't too bad. I liked that. I think he's one of those guys that might have started out okay, but in a 10 week season would really have improved a lot with the benefit of more time.

 

[floridaice]

Chris wasn't too bad. I liked that.

Yeah, he's getting better each week. He's one that would really benefit from a full season. He's so cute and has a great personality too

I was editing my post the same time you were typing the same thing!

great minds, etc etc...

Just checking in to say that I call BS on Mirai's score for her fantastic Quickstep, especially that bogus 8 from Len. I will say again that they're just trying to keep Mirai down. Adam got a 10 for his Quickstep IIRC correctly. If his deserved a 10 and 9s so does Mirai's. If she doesn't make the Final with Alan I'm done. I love Adam, I know he's going to almost certainly win but Mirai should be right there with him in that Final.

 

[miav9]

A 7?? Len, girl...

Also, the finale is only gonna be 1 HOUR???? I wish Adam and Mirai had waited until the full season to go on, this is so stupid

Definitely assigned. There's a reason for everything on this show. maniuplation
