DWTS Season 24 - Episodes - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

@Bee, It was on the night of the premiere. Sharna and Bonner kept saying it was an accident but in another clip where his face is more visible, his expressions scream guilty to me (IMO).

@BKay, Nancy deserved to be in the semifinals atleast IMO. I also felt bad for Artem. IMO He did more choreography wise with Nancy than Sasha/Val have done this season with huge ringers even though Val kinda redeemed himself with last night's contemporary IMO.

All JMO

oh gosh, poor love. She looks so uncomfortable. Thats horrible.

@coolangel Absolutely agree about Nancy and Artem.

Bonner's face in that vid tells the story of who he is.

same!! loved all of these dances and I do think the audience appeal might just land David in the finals!... I really want Rashad to win cos he's the amature though I LOVE Normani she really rocks it every time but Rashad isn't consistent

Normanikordei and Val are my fave. Normani gives it 200% every week.

I'd be happy if she wins she really deserves it though she is a professional pop artist so she comes in with an advantage

I don't see why she deserves it more than anyone else. It just sucks the enjoyment out of it for me when the one who basically does this for a living wins. Yes, I realise that she doesn't ballroom dance on stage, but she learns choreography, keeping to the beat, performing in front of an audience and much of what she has performed for years can easily be carried over and transferred to some of the dances that she does on DWTS. I have no doubt that her big dance for the final will be loaded with hip hop type of dance. So not much of a challenge when compared to someone like Rashad or David who knew nothing coming into the show. I am much more impressed at Rashad's progress throughout the season, than Normani's and IMO if we are looking at who deserves it more, I would go with him. He will certainly be getting my votes and I will be much more impressed if he pulls it out.

if I am to understand this Heather had hip hop dance training but I am not sure I know what Normandi's dance background is....she is in a pop band so did she do dance classes before etc? How does one work towards being a pop star? I doubt she has real hip hop training cos that takes real work but maybe I'm not being totally uninformed about how one becomes a pop star...I had thought she was mostly a singer?
all jmo and curious

She hasn't had any real hip hop training. She did do ballet classes and gymnastics as a kid (she calls dancing her first love) but her 'experience' is mostly her natural dance ability & passion which she's honed over the years (you know because she works hard at everything she does). As for 5h, she's the only one in the group that can really dance so their choreography/routines is pretty much 1-2 step, booty pop, hair flip, repeat (I say this as a fan). She's only 20, been in 5h for about 5 years and put dancing on the back burner before that (when she was like 12-13) to pursue singing fully. So this dance training she's criticised for isn't really valid IMO because if that counts as professional then I guess anyone who did dance as a kid/teen is a professional dancer now . Her experience/advantage IMO comes from the fact that she's a performer. Keo was on afterbuzz last week and said a lot/most of the celebs do better in rehearsals than the live shows, but Normani's the opposite, when the lights come on, that's when she thrives.

Tell me how you really feel Bonner . Headline's inflammatory but he really does light them up in the article. http://www.inquisitr.com/4213024/bonner-bolton-says-he-has-no-respect-for-dancing-with-the-stars-judgesid-like-to-see-them-break-their-neck/

It's ok Bonner. You could have been a four time reality tv competitor who improved every week and still got the boot.

Stay healthy, stay positive, move on.

Actually, Bonner is saying what a lot of us have been saying. I'd imagine that Nick would agree with him. IMO.
