DWTS Season 24 - Episodes - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

AllAboutLove wrote:@Sprite that's disappointing. It doesn't seem like they actually get that many untrained dancers. What's the point if most of them are already going to win before they even dance their first dance? I'd rather watch the progression of those who work hard to improve than ringers/gymnasts etc. Seems boring to me otherwise...


@coolangel that is disgusting what that guy is doing to Sharna. How gross

Yes. They didn't used to have as many people who had dance experience, but now it seems they are having more and more. I agree that it is much more enjoyable having people who you can see improving vs. having them be really good right off the bat.

^That's too bad. Honestly though, I am watching because of/for Nick... so if he goes, then I go.

If there is more to it and Sharna is hooking up with him or something, I hope she is done with him. I saw a video somewhere today that he calls Sharna 'ma'am'. Yeah, Right!

All JMO

How horrible is he. Disgusting. There's nothing accidental about this. It's an awful situation for Sharna, I have no doubt he has a habit of doing this, he gets away with it, and continues doing it. And Sharna has to suck it up because of her job. JMO

I checked some twitter reactions, and so many thought it was just hilarious. Smh. JMO.

I'm not going to say much here - Nick will do himself a favor if he is to relax and enjoy himself

I do think the quick step that David did is technically very difficult imo

I noticed on the official DWTS FB page the only video post-show they posted was of Simone. Seems like they may as well just give her the mirror ball now because it comes across like it's already a given (which it could be since she is no doubt an incredibly amazing gymnast) but it just seems a bit of "what's the point?" of it all if she's already "won" so to speak.

Do any of the others have a chance even if they do well or better than her if the judges and the show have her pegged for the mirror ball winner?

I hate ringers as much as the rest of you.    They do 2 seasons a year ...do one with dancers and gymnists etc....and do one with regular  celebs.   Level the playing field and then maybe the judges would stop being so obviously biasd toward the ones they want in the finals.

Nick did great and i think once the nerves settle he'll do even better.


Not to worried about Shattner's tweet....how much damage can his 5 fans cause?

I love learning new stuff. You guys here are the best. I wonder if I can now watch international versions of the show from the websites? Will have to give it a go.

Yes you can. The only thing I find with Hola is if it's turned on, it will mess up my view new posts here on the forum. It will show I have no new posts to read when I know there are a lot of them. When I used to use it regularly, I would disable it when I was done.

Eh... IMO I think Bonner intended to put his hand around her hips (they all do this) but then she turned around in a matter of seconds and she reacted quicker than he did to move it... he wasn't paying attention enough to say it was calculated IMO...

I like voting for the contestants that will show growth. Normani, Simone, Heather, and to some extent Nancy are all basically ringers. I like David, Rashad, and Nick. I hope they get far and knockout some of the ringers off the competition.

I'm not a fan of ringers either....but I'd LOVE to see Sasha win a mirror ball....so at least there's that. I also really like Maks/Val so I'm glad they got good partners and will be around for most of the season.

On the female pro side....my top three are Lindsay, Peta, and Sharna. Lindsay has grown so much as a pro in the last few years and I just LOVE watching her teach her partners....not to mention she is just FUN all the time so I'm hoping she can get the cubbie to go far. Peta and Nick did well and I'm pulling for them to stick around awhile. I'm also really glad to see Emma finally get someone with some skills so she can stick around awhile. She's been good to the DWTS franchise, it's about time they give back to her a little! As for Sharna and Bonner....the dude is a creep, imo. I've thought that from day 1. Hopefully Sharna can put him in his place a little.

To me it looked like she turned around just as he was reaching to hold or grab her.

His hand was still significantly lower than her waist. And I saw him saying somewhere that he didn't even notice her, since he was watching the screen, which is just BS since he clearly glanced at her before doing it. JMO.
