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

[nimi]

So is there no phone voting this week?

After the show has ended. So the phone votes count towards the next week's elimination.

Links etc. on the first page of this thread.

skaters killing it

As for her “story,” bleah. But her dancing - really nice, very graceful, she did a lovely routine. However, she was overscored would have her below Mirai.

 

[Allskate]

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

Perhaps she can have someone whack Adam's knee backstage this week at SOI?

 

[Debbie S]

No way should Tonya score the same as Mirai and only 1 pt lower than Adam.

 

[Twilight1]

I am a sap and most probably a sucker and naive but I cried watching that. Silly I know.

But Tonya did pretty good. Not better than Mirai good... but good

 

[Firedancer]

That was better than I expected but I really expected it to not be good.

An 8 for that? But Carrie Ann could only give Mirai a 7?!?!

So people vote?

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

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

Confession - I watch those shows that report on polygamous groups like the Jeffs (not the wives reality shows).

Back Ot, that had to be really hard for Tonya - I hope she too moves on because she was good.

So there's no phone ins or voting on Facebook yet - just the votes on abc.com?

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

I can't believe the episode is almost over! For sure, Adam and Mirai should be top two imo.

 

[floridaice]

He's doing pretty good -- football players usually do.

Tonya is known to the entire world population and in a generally good light recently while Adam may be somewhat well-known after the Olympics. Mirai, I don’t think as much. I think Tonya actually may be the one to beat in this competition as much as some people think otherwise.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Josh and Sharna burning it up on the dance floor!

 

[screech]

So there's no phone ins or voting on Facebook yet - just the votes on abc.com?

I think the phoning and Facebook will be after the show, for next week's eliminations.
I hope Tonya makes it through. Based on dancing she deserves it, and she does seem like she is loving being there, and is trying really hard.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Adam better watch out. Josh could slide in there for the win if Adam and Mirai split the skating fan vote.

 

[nimi]

He's personable, quick on his feet and can perform. And from a popular sport. I wouldn't be surprised in he ends up winning the mirror ball thing.

 

[quartz]

Holy crap. I need to start watching more football.

 

[jlai]

Haven't you figured out yet? Skating order (or dance order) matters. Let Mirai dance last next time!

 

[screech]

I found she danced around him a lot, though he did have personality.

 

[floridaice]

Carrie Ann sounds a little more drunk/high than normal

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I forgot how annoying Carrie Ann is about a cute guy that dances well. She might as well jump them on the floor while she's at it.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Adam and Mirai need their own show.

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Mirai drops to third. Adam and Josh are tied for first.

 

[tony]

Not quite fair to the last dancer if they continue this trend. People literally need to vote in 2 minutes or less for that person.

 

[rfisher]

Forget Adam. Football guy is and mirai and adam are annoying me everytime they open their mouths

 

[floridaice]

Not Tonia K! (she really needs more of a Carol Heiss bun)

 

[my little pony]

this isn't my first call in voting show

I don't believe Tonya is bottom 3 at all

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Tonya is in jeopardy. Mirai and Adam are safe.

 

[screech]

Tonya safe!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Tonya is about to burst into tears. She's safe!

 

[tony]

The behind the scenes part of me thinks that they intentionally put Tonya in the bottom 3 to get more votes for her going forward. There’s no way she lost that many points versus Kareem.
