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

[Yazmeen]

At least Kareem had fun out there!

 

[Yazmeen]

Nicely done, Jennie!

 

[Firedancer]

I don’t understand how Keo has been able to stay on this show.

 

[Inessence]

Hate living on the west coast right now.

 

[screech]

Hate they already dragged out the kids, but to me that's one of the best dances (other than his jive with Jodie Sweetin) that Keo has ever done.

 

[mysticchic]

Kareem was like a Maypole! Poor Jennie can't dance. I gave away the one vote I saved for her.

 

[BaileyCatts]

uhm ... did they just bleep Keo or was that a satellite freeze?! If they bleeped him, I can't imagine what he said???

 

[floridaice]

Is this going to end with all 3 skaters?

 

[screech]

I thought the judges were really harsh on Jennie, but I would have had her behind Chris.

 

[Firedancer]

uhm ... did they just bleep Keo or was that a satellite freeze?! If they bleeped him, I can't imagine what he said???

I think they bleeped him

 

[BaileyCatts]

A dolla for anybody that can read lips and figure out he said then.

 

[screech]

[Firedancer]

I feel like there should be more separation between Kareem, Jennie and Chris.

 

[screech]

I'd have Kareem at 5s, Jennie 6s and 7s, and Chris 7s and maybe an 8

 

[mysticchic]

these costumes are ugly

 

[meggonzo]

Wish they would have given Jamie a more flattering dress!

 

[floridaice]

Dry ice to hide feet?

 

[Fridge_Break]

Oh lawd, with skating season finished, I thought I was free and clear of Feelin Good

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Jamie and Artem up - then Mirai and Alan woo hoo!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Not too bad from Jamie and Artem.

 

[floridaice]

Just dreaming what Maia Shibutani would have looked like in that dance.

 

[screech]

Artem had to drag her around the floor. That was not great.

 

[meggonzo]

Just dreaming what Maia Shibutani would have looked like in that dance.

I was thinking Tonia Kwiatkowski.

 

[rfisher]

I'm thinking 4 weeks is too long.

 

[floridaice]

love Mirai's dress! And we knew Adam would be in mesh

 

[honey]

Mirai looks fantastic in that dress!

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

My heart went out to Kareem. A legend and a survivor! He's so tall though, it's tough to choreograph for someone so tall with an average sized partner. Also, he still seems rather frail.

 

[floridaice]

I was thinking Tonia Kwiatkowski.

She does look like her, would need to hear her say "haircutter" to be sure!

 

[Twilight1]

I'm thinking 4 weeks is too long.
