DWTS Season 20 - Episode Discussion - *Spoilers - Sleuthing*

Can we say who is safe yet??

Allison isn't a trained ballroom dancer. She spent most of her youth and the SYTYCD years doing more contemporary and lyrical styles. But she's a very talented dancer overall and very well-rounded in her skills. But I'm biased because I've both her and her husband Twitch since their SYTYCD days years ago.

I just watched the video sfrank posted but didn't think it was bad enough for those scores. I've seen worse with higher scores. He certainly had an off night though.

I'm also one who's sick of Derek mostly getting good dancers for a partner. I gave up the show partly because of that although am checking in a little this season because of Chris. I do like Nastia so am a little conflicted.

Props to those that called Redfoo as the one voted off tonite

What? Charlotte is staying.

The men must have voted for her jmo

What Redfoo is leaving?

Hmm.

Shockinggggg

Practically everyone (expect one or two)'s mistakes were overlooked and they were overscorred. Chris was bad but I felt others were way over hyped. No way Chris deserved a 21 comparing his dance to say like Charlotte's last week where she didn't even get a 21.

Everyone else at least had their footwork somewhat right. Chris's was really awful. Sorry. Charlottes was awful last week too.

What's with TomB insinuating the importance of voting? as if someone else should have gone?

I like Allison (and Ivan) on SYTYCD during their season but yes she was more contemporary than classical so I can understand that!

Dang I am shocked he went home before Charlotte.

It was going to be one of them but as soon as they started talking about cyberbullying that Charlotte experienced, I knew she was going to be safe...good for Chris, he is for sure going to outlast her with his fan base IMO

They usually pair Derek with women that have some dancing experience or edge over the competition.

Why not give Mark Nastia and Derek Willow?

or Betsey Johnson or Wynonna Judd or Susanne Sommers

Exactly. I guess he's the star professional and he's there for ratings.

Allison is married to Twitch now? Wow, I'm out of the loop. Used to be obsessed with SYTYCD.

It is a bit weird that she's teaching and choreographing ballroom, when she's not a ballroom dancer herself. You can be decent at ballroom, if you're a contemporary dancer, but nowhere near as good as people who've danced ballroom since they were 5.
