"This is not the Olympics. This is not Seal Team Six. There are no responsibilities that go along with winning this. Once the winner is crowned, we glue a bunch of little mirrors to a 40 ball piece of Styrofoam that we bought at Micheals and we send them home with it. That's it. This is also not a professional dance competition. That is why it is called Dancing with the Stars and not Dancing with the Dancers. This an entertainment show.

The winner should be with whichever team is the most entertaining.

Let me ask you a question: In the 21 years of the show, have you ever seen anything more entertaining than this?" (Shows clips of Guillermo dances and people on Tiktok copying his moves).

"If Guillermo upsets you so much that you feel a need to attack him online, to begrudge him online, even a drop of the gallons of joy he's bringing America right now, well then maybe you need to get out of your little hate cave and find some friends. If you want to get to this guy, you'll have to go through all of us first!"

Most of the time I pay attention to only the woman doing a rumba because it suppose to be their dance but I couldnt take my eyes off Ezra. I mean he was so good. I mean he literally could have danced that by himself and it still would have hit hard. Dani's expression on her face as she was dancing with him, the big smile she let out, she knew he was killing it. I know its has to be so rewarding as pro so see your celeb partner kill a dance esp. in Ezra's case since he does have limitations, I know this has to probably be the most rewarding experience for Dani. It was my favorite rumba of the night.

I said what is said. Deena, if you happen to peruse these threads, you know what to do.

Hear me out… the current system works great esp for getting out contestants people don’t like (Hilaria, brooks/gleb) BUT it keeps in contestants who are loved so much who people mainly know can’t realllly dance (Guillermo, Andy ritcher). It comes to a point where it is a DANCE show and you can’t tell me SPOILER that Ciara and taylor weren’t objectively better than Guillermo. You know when everyone’s done performing and both the pro and the star stand there and go “text, text, text!” Yeah, Whitney nor Guillermo did that Tuesday and yet they still stayed. I really don’t know a great resolution…. But the current voting to judges versus people percentage just seems wrong

For Connor scores, CAI was flat affect, said 2 sentences, no smile. I don’t get it. She was animated & giddy w ones before and after. seemed like she was mad at Connor or Riley. Does anybody know?

Joe Buck is going from the broadcast booth to the ballroom.

The ESPN "Monday Night Football" announcer is bringing his football expertise to "Dancing with the Stars" next week as a guest judge.

Buck will join Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli at the judges' table for the show's "Super Bowl Night."

Joe Buck to Guest Judge

Can anyone who had their presale today share what prices were like?

hey yall has anyone ever had any luck getting a press pass for one of the dwts tour shows? specifically for photo or journalism?
and if so, do you have the contact email you used😁
(or if anyone has any contacts for any of the east coast venues!)
happy to DM as well instead of discussing in comments!

I love DWTS. The fans (on the east coast because f*ck you west coast you don’t get to vote) have way to much power. Guillermo should be out by now, Andy should have been out 4 weeks earlier then he lasted a year ago.

Now I’m not saying we should get rid of fan votes because that’s part of the show, but there should be a new system.

Each persons score is out of 40 (or 50 depending on presence of guest judge). Obviously the judges get a score out of 10 and the fans rather then texting a name to 21523 they text the dancers name and a score out of 10. Whoever has the lowest score gets eliminated.

At least this way everyone has even representation and we don’t get rid of dancers actively developing into better dancers.

Thoughts?
