Patti should dazzle us with her personality / performance as she has been performing for over 50 years. She's spent her career performing with others, so forming an easy partnership with Artem comes naturally to her. I think we can all agree musicality certainly wouldn't be an issue for this singer-dancer-performer.

Robert didn't do well at all this week, but he works hard and has a likable personality. I hope the showmance he's enjoying with Kym continues after the show. If not, it's certainly helping with the scoring and voting. 

I didn't expect an unassuming farmer from Iowa to set the ballroom on fire. I did expect Chris to work hard and try his best in an uncomfortable environment. He's done that. As Len said, it's incredible that he was even able to perform with two injuries. 

I find that recording a show and fast-forwarding through the parts that don't interest me is the way to go!

What's the correlation between the two though??? There isn't necessarily one. Many people who don't watch TB watch DWTS and vice versa. So I don't think there's much stock in that regard.

And yes, the other contestants obviously have different advantages (and disadvantages), but the whole point of the show, and what people gravitate towards: is good entertaining dancing/personalities/stories/partnerships. And Chris isn't delivering any of those. But anyway, my main point was that the other three were better thanhim at those aspects, whether they have a leg up or not, that's besides the point...it just is the way it is. Like I said, he's trying hard though, that should highly appreciated at the very least. He should eventually leave though, no one cares for him but the very few fans that didn't get ticked off by him/people trying to save Witney.

I watched that rehearsal too and I didn't sense any attitude. Chris was just being his usual uncoordinated self. But you're right, they seem to be over it. I do find it strange that Witney hasn't tweeted or IG'd anything about last night. She always does. Maybe she's sick of all day everyday already.

She has

She hadn't by the time I posted that. Took her time. Usually she does it the same night.

My post referred to viewers that didn't care for Chris on Bach & are now watching him on DWTS; that would be the correlation. Same viewers watching him on both shows. 

There are many reasons viewers tune in to DWTS: to watch their favorite Olympic or professional athlete dominate in another arena, to see their favorite singer/dancer translate those skills to the ballroom or to watch former stars revive their career through the exposure received on this popular show. Those with a background in dance or other performing art may watch from a technical view and often disagree with the judges. Something for nearly everyone!

I'm curious about your bolded statement above. Do you have information on how/why viewers are voting or is this your opinion? It doesn't make sense to me that Witney fans would want her to continue on if they feel she is being treated poorly by Chris.

No one?  That's quite a strong statement to make.

I meant the opposite though. I mean people that DIDNT watch him on TB, but DO on DWTS. And vice versa.

I mean, obviously there's no way to know what America is doing. But the internet is an indicator here, if anything. All the boards, videos, just anything I've seen online have all said Chris isnt enjoyable in any way and should of left before Michael and Suzanne. That's the majority opinion I've seen. The minority is his fans from TB, many of whom decided to not vote for him any longer for a few reasons. Oh, and half of Witney fans want them to get eliminated because they dont want her around Chris anymore (their words.) and the other half still want her to stay so she can continue to get paid the amount that she is (because she wouldn't if they were
eliminated.) and they want to continue to see her every week.

ALL the boards have ALL said Chris isn't enjoyable in ANY way??? I find this statement hard to believe, surely there has to be ONE person commenting something positive about Chris. And if Suzanne and Michael had received more votes they would still be there and Chris would be gone. Isn't that how the show works? JMO obviously different viewers see the skill of the contestants differently. Different strokes I guess.....
