DWTS Season 21 - Episode Discussion - *Spoilers - Sleuthing*

Episode discussion thread.

ABC

The stars, the drama, the glamour and the glitter are back on ABC! Dancing with the Stars returns on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 8|7c with a sensational two-hour season premiere and TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 15 9|8c for "Dancing With The Stars: First Dances." Then brace yourself for the first eliminations of the season in a two-night event, with performances and eliminations on both MONDAY SEPTEMBER 21 8|7 and TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 9|8c.

What a disaster of a season.

This is how I'm calling it.

1st Derek - Bindi

2nd Witney - Carlos

3rd Nick - Sharna

And I haven't even seen Nick and Sharna yet.

Was Bindi really that good or were people gassing her up because of Derek Hough? I think the latter.

Carlos PenaVega is the deserving front runner imo.

Bindi was al'right but Carlos was better IMO.

The American hero guy has never danced before and he did really good IMO.

I am waiting for Team Sharnick to bring it home

Alex Skarlatos is the American hero, and I think he did a fantastic job. I only really watched his dance, I love it when they have someone on like him, that's never danced ever before, that's what I like to see.... and he didn't disappoint I was a bit bummed Nick wasn't on this season but if someone had to bump him off I'm glad it was someone like Alex

Bindi was AMAZING and she never danced before. I can't get over how fun and great Bindi and Derek's dance was. She knocked it out of the park! I was speechless (in a very good way).
I also liked Nick and Alek.

The first few dances were not good at all. They all seemed shorter then the usal 1 minute 30 seconds...
From Carlos&Alexa and on, they were fun to watch. Er wait Paula Deen's I had to skip. I can see Carlos, Alexa, Bindi, and Nick being in the F4.

Alek was a nice surprise for being an un-known. He could be the dark horse. So glad this show is back even if it's a train wreck at times!

What a crazy mixed bag of Dancers!! Some were quite good and others Ummmm.... but they all were entertaining in their own way.  Bindi is the most positive endearing person and she was fabulous.  Definitely my favorite because of her positivity!  Gary a dancer not so much but his comments are hilarious!!  Telling Tom his left eye was spinning had me laughing so hard I was crying...so so funny!  Alex did a great job as did a handful of others.  The bottom scorers will make the early eliminations easy.  Definitely a very unique and interesting collection of "stars".  All in all lighthearted TV.  

PS.  I wish they had 14 so that "my" Nick was dancing too.
