Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) - 2024

Houghing and puffing.

I haven't watched since Tom Bergeron left.

A just choice. He was perfect for hosting DWTS.

Julianne Hough and Mickey Guyton articulate what everyone knows.

The Bones victory caused the rules to be changed.

[quote] Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik named contestant for upcoming season of 'Dancing With The Stars

Robert Irwin?

[quote]When asked if he’d compete, he shared with ET, “I’d give that a go. Yeah, I’d give it a go. I’d do it.”

Irwin. He's grown up quite nicely.

Here's a whole thread on him, R9.

‘DWTS’ star Artem Chigvintsev arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence

New pro... worth watching.

A veritable who's that of " Stars."

Well R13, Eric Roberts is a talented actor who has had a prolific and long-lasting career. In addition, Tori's daddy gave her a role in every single one of the soap operas he produced, so I guess that she is a former nepo-starlet? The rest are just Z-listers and reality TV abortions, as per usual.

By the way, I find the inclusion of that reptilian con woman Anna Delvey to be downright insane. Why is that freak considered a star? She is a convicted criminal, for God's sake! I've started a thread about her, by the way.

Poor Ezra in his first season as a pro having to dance with Anna Delvey and her ankle monitor.

It's a form of initiation. Usually they are given fossils as partners, but now no fossil, but a felon. I'm disappointed that there is no Robert Irwin.

Hit me on the head so I can see stars.

I have never watched this show, but I used to love to watch the professionals compete on PBS. Whatever happened to that?

So, who's this year's ringer? Never mind, it's Chandler Kinney.

[quote]Kinney was born on August 3, 2000, in Sacramento, California. She started dancing when she was three, and is trained in tap, ballet, contemporary, jazz and hip-hop. She studied dance at the Los Angeles Ballet Academy, the Kirov Academy of Ballet, and the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.

Who is the Disney star?

Mornings are dance, and I need my rhythm.

r19 what's a ringer?

[quote] Mornings are dance, and I need my rhythm.

[quote] what's a ringer?

One that enters a competition under false representations.

Grifter Anna “Delvey” is on the line-up, that’s pretty low even for this show

A ringer is a contestant with significant dance experience.

[quote]Who is the Disney star?

It's the ringer, Chandler Kinney from the Disney " Zombies."

[quote] Dancing With the Stars' Gleb Savchenko Addresses Brooks Nader Dating Rumors

Premiere tonight.

Joey did really good!!!

Which Joey is this?

Joey from The Bachelor.

I prefer to watch the AGT finals and see real talent.

Danny Amendola dances as though he has cement blocks on his feet, but he is HOT from the ankles up.

The Hispanic guy, Danny, is cute.

The football player is sex-ay!

But my guy is Stevie Pommel Horse!

Alas, I bought a ticket to see him (as advertised!) tour with Simone Biles' "Gold Over America," so now I'm trying to get a refund, as Stephen has withdrawn for DWTS.

The pommel horse guy has withdrawn?

I should make Anna Delvey my Vice-President!

R37, From the Olympic Gymnasts Tour.

Is there anything natural on Tori?

Her ears R40.

R37, Let me be specific: I have a ticket for October 1 in Newark. He will not be there.

R35 Danny AMENDOLA is Italian

Danny is half Irish and half Italian.

[quote] Is there anything natural on Tori?

Her gift wrapping?

R44. Correct. Mom is Irish and dad is Italian. Neither of them Hispanic.

Round-ball Dwight was fabulous!

Damn! Dwight is so light on his feet. He has a great smile.

Poor Eric Roberts. His health is simply not up to this challenge.

Yes. His health isn’t up to par.

What sort of health problems has he had?

Messed-up movement from coma after motor vehicle accident.

I don't care for the long-haired new pro dancer.

R53 who are you talking about?

Phaedra did GREAT

Bumblebee.

I love Phaedra. Her personality came through in the dance.

Stephen is adorable.

STEVIE!

R54, One of the dancers in the "filler" segments.

R60 he isn’t a pro. Those four aren’t the pros. Ezra was one of them for a few years and just got promoted to Pro.

Poor Ezra. Stuck with lead footed Anna.

I actually liked Anna Delvey’s dance. I love the way she carries herself.

It’s hysterical they have a literal criminal with an ankle bracelet on the show

Love Anna!

Was the white pro male dancer with the yellow skin on tonight?

Anna made me laugh when she said she was happy she never has to do that dance again. She has that sour Eastern European attitude. Totally opposite of the DWTS vibe.

Thanks, r61, for the status clarification. It's not that I dislike long hair; I just dislike his!

Topic: Did Nedoroscik get the highest total, with all 7s?

Pretty sure Chandler and Brandon got the highest scores

How did the ringer do? You know the one with no dance experience? Isn't her name Chandler Kinney, the contestant who starred in ( shocker) Disney movies?

[quote]She studied dance at the Los Angeles Ballet Academy, the Kirov Academy of Ballet, and the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.

It was a fun episode. Derick is not a great judge.

[quote] It was a fun episode.

Was it a good episode, a positive episode?

In a darkly imagined twist, "Dancing with the Stars" features a fictional appearance by Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer, whose eerie presence on the ballroom floor sends shivers down the audience’s spines. His dance partner, visibly uncomfortable, tries to maintain composure as they perform a haunting, slow waltz to unsettling music. The judges, caught between the surreal spectacle and their roles, awkwardly critique his movements, their words dripping with tension. The crowd remains silent, unsure if they're witnessing a macabre joke or a nightmarish hallucination, as Dahmer’s unsettling charisma eerily overshadows the glitz and glamour of the show.

Stevie's routine.

R74 Stephen.

R70 she literally said she’s been dancing her whole life but never did ballroom dance…. They even showed a photo of her as a little girl in a dance class…

That's what they always say about their ringers. Sorry, but once you have been schooled in the elements of dance, things like posture, extension, line, rhythm, etc. are critical in any form of dance. So, to put her in a " competition" with non-dancers is a fraud.

R75, Yes, yes. And his teammates cheered him on as "Steve." I like all three variations, and will use them as I want. It's not like he reads here.

R77 yes and no. Someone who is trained in urban and hip hop dances understand the basics of dance but the posture etc. are nothing alike.

I hate Phaedra's thunder thighs. I felt guilty till I googled her and found out she was famous for body-shaming her co-stars (or whatever you call them.) Talked about one of them sitting on Cap'n Crunch (meaning her vagina was dry) - Reddit link. She also called out another lady for cottage cheese cellulite.

So now I will happily be revolted at those massive tree trunks - I don't see how she has sex at all! Even walking around must be painful after a while, with them rubbing up against each other.

And then Dwight Howard! Sued for sexual assault and "false imprisonment" by a former boyfriend! (while acknowledging 5 kids out of what's reported to be 8).

Then there Eric Roberts who claimed sister Julia owed her career success to him, prompting a years long estrangement. And the coma he was talking about causing his brain damage was in 1981! The real cause being severe drug/alcohol issues.

Maybe Anna Delvey is the most decent contestant this season - or at least not the worst.

[quote]Someone who is trained in urban and hip hop dances understand the basics of dance but the posture etc. are nothing alike.

She studied with the Kirov ballet. I think she knows posture and line.

[quote] Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko offered his support to Artem Chigvintsev in an exclusive E! News interview amid the alum’s divorce battle with estranged wife Nikki Garcia.

When is the results show?

I thought they quit having results shows ages ago - and just do the discards quickly at the end of the regular episode. You have to vote during the show now, when you used to could vote for hours after - maybe even into the next day.

Most memorable dances....

R81,

Sorry.

R81, I suspect that Stephen Nedoroscik might be a more reasonable candidate for that approbation. Just a hunch. (I don't even see how you could posit it in any way, shape, or hedged-bet form for AD, but whatever.)

Stephen and Rylee will be doing the Paso Double tonight, complete with cape.

In the middle.

[quote]Stephen and Rylee will be doing the Paso Double tonight, complete with cape.

They will have to go far to beat this one performed by Allison Holker and Riker Lynch ( brother or Ross and cousin of Derek and Julianne Hough)

^ brother of..........

R91, I'm not looking at it that way. AFAIC, nobody can surpass Mario Lopez, so there! But nobody from the past is current competition, 😉.

I've never seen any DWTS dance from this angle before:

I know some of you will like the immediate visual:

Tonight's dances:

Oh, so Anna Delvey is now a "fashionista" and an entrepreneur. Ha! I like little Ezra though, and none of this is his fault.

And 6'10" Dwight Howard will attempt a Foxtrot with 5'2" Daniella Karagach to Ryan Gosling's “City Of Stars”.

Oh, FEH! Pre-empted October 1st for the VP debate. 😡

DWTS Alum Artem Chigvintsev Will Not Face Criminal Charges After His Arrest on Suspicion of Domestic Violence

“While we take every arrest seriously and stand firmly against domestic violence, we have an ethical obligation to only file charges when supported by the evidence,” she wrote. “We are required to prove any and every criminal charge ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ which is the highest standard in the American criminal justice system. If the available evidence doesn’t rise to this level of proof, then we cannot ethically file charges.”

Derek Hough Shares Family Plans With "Miracle" Wife Hayley Erbert

Derek Hough shared his and wife Hayley Erbert’s hopes for a future family in an exclusive interview with E! News nearly one year after the pro dancer underwent emergency skull surgery.

Sorry but I like Anna Delvey

Stephen: No cape?! The kissing-biceps intro was STUPID!

Not nearly as exciting, thrilling, or sensual as it should have, and could have, been. Maybe these two giggle it up too much in practice.

Like Joey, in the first 10 seconds, Stephen. Get it, Clark Kent? Break out the SEXY, Stephen!

Green is Phadrea’s color. She looks great.

And one last point for Team Arnold Pommel:

Stephen's USA glitter top for a Paso Doble wasn't serious enough, IMO. Enough with the memes. No more Clark Kent, Rubik's Cube, Nerd, Sleeping, Glasses Tossing, or USA Team Bronze. We know what Stephen's image is.

Time for Stephen (and his gymnastics skills).

Is the white pro male dancer with the yellow skin on tonight?

Sorry Anna, but crime doesn’t pay in the ballroom.

Who gives a fuck about her crime? Jesus. She scammed rich people. Big whoop. People act like she murdered a bunch of people or raped people.

Host: Anna, what are you going to take away from the competition?

Anna: Nothing.

What a bitch. I hope they pat her down on the way out for stolen wallets and jewelry.

I love Anna lmao

Maybe Anna thought they were asking if she was stealing anything, haha!

Derek. He's just the Ginchiest!

I wonder if Alfonso recognized any moves---and fringe!---from HIS opening dance on DWTS:

[quote] Artem Chigvintsev Was Not the 'Primary Aggressor' in Domestic Violence Incident with Nikki Garcia, Claims Lawyer (Exclusive)

[quote] Chigvintsev was arrested in Napa Valley, Calif. on Aug. 29 on a charge of corporal injury to a spouse, but the charges were dropped by the D.A.'s office on Sept. 24

[quote]

Anna scammed people who weren’t rich as well. Maybe you should read the whole story about her scam. She’s a cunt.

Sad that a criminal is now considered a "star." This used to be a good show, a positive show.

That Danny Amendola is a cutie.

Derek Hough and Mark Ballas dancing together.

Danny Amendola is adorable but seems vacuous. R115, I agree that it's unwise to glamorize a criminal

Yeah, I was noticing how dopey Danny was. I wondered if he had that brain condition footballers get from being knocked down too much.

The similar looking guy named Joey is more alert - and a better dancer.

But no show Tuesday - other than Walz-Vance.

Danny is known to be awful to his girlfriends and is a cheat.

What's Joey's last name, r119?

Graziadei.

What is that - Italian?

Don't know anything about him - but he's a beauty!

"Thanks to God."

Artem is innocent!
