DWTS Season 23 - Episodes - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Loved Laurie's dance. That girl can light up a room like no other. Excited to see what they do next week.

I was underwhelmed by last night's show, to be honest.  I had no idea who these people were: Jake T. Austin, Terra Jole, James Hinchcliffe and Jana Kramer.  But, I thought that both James and Jana did a good job for their first dance, even though I agreed with Len and thought that Jana's routine lacked enough content.

The rest of the cast I had at least heard of - but found very few of them that I could actually get excited about, except perhaps Laurie Hernandez.

So, as of right now, I pick James, Jana and Laurie to make it further in the competition, as I at least saw something promising from those three.  Plus, I wouldn't mind seeing Sharna win the mirror ball this time around.  

But, at the same time, I am not sure if this season will hold enough interest for me to continue watching, as there are lots of "stars" this season that fall into these two categories: I either care little or nothing at all about them, or let's say I "mildly dislike" them altogether.

My opinion of this situation is that the guy did a really stupid thing. But he didn't kick puppies or push granny down the stairs. The proper authorities are handling it. He has lost all his sponsors and is unable to swim again for almost a year. Those are probably the proper punishments. The world doesn't need some bozos atttempting some vigilante justice to make a statement. If you are angry at him and don't like what he did, fine, don't vote for him.

Thanks @lipsis

What a bunch of freakin idiots. What the heck is wrong with people. What in the world do they think they accomplished by doing that. I could tell while watching that someone ran by in front of the camera, but they focused on CA the whole time. I imagine they were scared out of their minds, I would be.

According to Tom on GMA today, the one thing it did accomplish was to make the audience more sympathetic to Ryan.

I couldn't have asked for a better partner and we'll only get better with time! @MaksimC ❤️❤️❤️

I don't know a lot of these contestants but I thought James did very well, Laurie was outstanding. I was surprised Marilu didn't do better, but maybe it was nerves/excitement. I'm all for Ryan getting a chance and am happy the show will move to it's regular time for LA next week. I watched the Steelers at 4pm PST and taped DWTS and therefore didn't have a chance to vote.
