Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) - 2024

The 2024 season is set to start on September 17.

I'm still glad there is no Tyra Banks despite her leaving over a year ago.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brooks is soooo fake, and those injected lips. She needed a powerful sob story and all she had was her 3 cute sisters 'standing by her' during her difficult divorce.

The true worst of the bunch had his 5 children on the dancefloor hugging and him going on and on about how much he loves his 5 kids, never mind the 3 he won't acknowledge. Creep that I'm sure he is, he reads sweet daddy. I still can't get over a grown man suing him for 'false imprisonment', assault and battery, and 'intentional infliction of emotional distress' - what in the ever-lovin' hell happened? Tawdry and sordid, but he's grinnin' and lovin' those babies of his - well, most of them looked like teens/young adults and he's only 38.

The judging has been crazy tonight. Some on Twitter are saying that they don't give lower than 8s on Disney night, but that means multiple couples have been given all 8s, with IMO a wide variety of how good they were.

I can't believe they gave the clunky football player 9's. But he's cute so I'll cope. I wish the adorable little gymnast had musicality but oh well.

My fear was the racist Trumpster audience wouldn't vote for the black girl who's clearly the best, and yep, they give her "immunity" for next week and they're introducing the "dance off" to save her from yokels refusing to vote for her.

Maybe they're not voting for her because she is a ringer and it's unfair to pit her against non-dancers:

Carrie Ann just gave it all away. The Contemporary dances that don't really have any rules are scored by different criteria than the Ballroom dances that have actual rules.

It's really not fair to put them against each other, and personally, I don't think Contemporary should even be in this show.

Stephen and Rylee got about as close to depicting a rape attack (ostensibly "fear of the dark") as allowed. It was a brilliant Contemporary, not the least for NOT being the usual mawkish tearfest.

I would challenge Derek and Bruno to point out any flaws.

What's really not fair is to cast ringers - those with significant dance training- up against rank amateurs, under the excuse that the 10 yrs of formal dance training wasn't in ballroom.

It's not fair to cast people in their 20s against people in their 70s, but that's what these shows do. And sometimes the people in their 70s last longer than younger people (like Reginald this season). It's a popularity contest, primarily.

It was time for Dwight to go. He wasn't a good dancer, but it really wasn't fair that they paired this giant with a woman barely over 5 feet tall. Even the best ballroom dancers would've had a difficult time trying to navigate through such a height difference.

They even had Dwight's partner on a platform for half of their dance, and he still towered over her.

I think my sexy gymnast nerd Stephen had his best dance last night, and even incredible hulk IIona seemed lighter on her feet than she has all season.

But I think it's ultimately going to come down to the the Bachelor dude and Chandler Kinney. I think they're the best among all the contestants, although it's really not fair, since Chandler's had prior dance experience.

A while back they gave Chandler immunity, for some cocked up reason.

I think it's obvious she's tanking with the viewer vote, so I think she would have gone home tonight... except the show can't let that happen because she's extremely better than anybody else.

You could say it's that the audience doesn't like that she has prior dance training - or you could say it has something to do with her and her partner Brandon's ethnicity. I'll leave that for others...

Ah yes, the race card. It's played so often, it's a miracle it hasn't been mentioned before. DWTS is a popularity contest ( witness Bobby Bones) and she is an unknown. Add the facts that she has extensive dance training ( she's the ringer), and the voters being overwhelmingly female ( votes for Danny, Joey, and Steven). and one could see why she doesn;t have as many votes as expected. As for the " ethnicity" thing:

Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward, Donald Driver, Amber Riley, Alfonso Ribeiro, Rashad Jennings, Jordan Fisher, Iman Shumpert all won the contest.

by Anonymousreply 183November 20, 2024 1:12 PM

I've seen comments on FB and Twitter (I refuse to call it X) that they made the the 5 finalists call because Chandler was actually the one with the lowest votes. Could be, I suppose. I have read that the 2 Olympians have huge fan bases.

Stephen we all know isn't the best, but he's so darn earnest! And hard-working, the kind of novice the show started out as seeking.

I hope somehow he ends up 3rd, so he can say he won the DWTS Bronze medal, too!

I know one thing: Stephen is a star. Name without Googling another member of his Olympics team.

As a Penn Stater who went to every Men's Gymnastics home meet 1967-1971 (when Bob Emery competed, the great gymnast whose name is now on the sport's highest award for senior gymnasts, which Stephen won), I was shocked to learn that only about a dozen D1 NCAA programs still exist! So I hope Stephen gets tons more opportunities to promote his sport far and wide!

Clearly Chandler was the best dancer by a mile, but, yes, it was clear that this wasn't her first plie. Her gorgeous slow high developpe to fully straightened leg was not something that can be taught in 6 weeks. I'm not sure what the rules or expectations are for this show. I never watch a full season, but only drop in occasionally. If the goal is to show how much novices can accomplish in several weeks, that should be announced and people should be screened before selection.

I used to love Artem, but after his embarrassing expressions of love for Ricky Martin, I switched to Gleb. Too bad he wasn't featured much this season. Joey did make the most progress this season. Danny was adorable -- such a geeky athlete -- and what was going on when he approached Bruno, who was reaching out his hand. Are they making too much of Bruno's expressions of appreciation of (or lust toward) hunky male dancers?

ABC‘s Dancing With the Stars posted its best numbers in four years, with its Season 33 finale. Facing originals on NBC (including The Voice), Fox and The CW, Tuesday night’s DWTS finale avearged 6.4 million total viewers, the dance competition’s largest audience since the Season 29 finale on Nov. 23, 2020. And in the coveted-and-delicious 18-49 demo, DWTS scored a 1.14 rating, its best number since the Season 29 premiere on Sept. 14, 2020 — and marking the highest-rated regularly scheduled entertainment telecast in primetime since NBC’s This Is Us series finale (which posted a 1.28 rating on May 24, 2022).

R229, R226 said "washed-up." Meaning, no longer hired. Meaning money coming in. "Haven" meaning "Got a Pity Hire" meaning income. R226 Said nothing about "talent."

R227 said "had success." Now, that might mean "was rewarded for talent" or could mean "financial success." But in either case, r227 does not use the word "talent."

Whoever said the show's name referred only to actors? You? It was never the intent of the show to present people from one walk of life or one career area. Athletes have always been included, along with Reality Show winners, Internet personalities, musicians, politicians, old, young, tall, tiny, White, Black, Asian, male, female,....

But do inform us of your definition of "Stars" in the oh-so-important arena of "Reality Television Competitions." You have clearly thought long and hard, and not in a good way, about this show's dedication or lack thereof to the O.E.D.

While you are at it, could you please take on the names of the shows "Survivor" (because, really?); "Top Chef" (sure, Jan); "The Voice" (the late Whitney would like a word); "Family Feud" (No Hatfields, No McCoys, WTH?). Or any other show. Even "60 Minutes" isn't always!
