DWTS Season 27 - Episodes - Discussions - *SPOILERS*

@Doats I just read that Alexis has two fractured ribs and has to be extremely careful. They’re recent fractures too within the last week or two.

Thanks so much. I had no idea but just thought her movements weren't as fluid as usual.

I was sorry to see DeMarcus eliminated as I thought he was one of the better dancers. I thought he was good enough to make the semis. The voting this season has been rather odd. It's not unusual for a fan base to carry along one of the weaker dancers, such as Joe. But it's rare to see two of the stronger dancers (Tinashe and DeMarcus) knocked out before they have a shot at the semis. And former NFL players normally come in with a very strong fan base of their own.

I don't think I've ever seen the top two finishers who are not two of the best dancers of the season. Sometimes the 3rd place finisher is a bit sketchy, so it's possible that Joe could go that far. Generally the fans make a solid pick for the mirror ball winner, although it's not always my own choice.

I was also sorry to see Demarcus eliminated. As much as I love love love Joe, Demarcus should have outlasted both Joe & John to advance to the semifinals IMO. I think JP & Cheryl have had the best dances (by far) this season & hope that the fans choose them for the mirror ball.

That explains the tape that I saw through her costume!

Happy Joe is still there .... he won’t win but to see him go so far is good for his confidence.  The fans love him and it’s lasted long after his initial charm that drew us to him at the M&G ... BIP .... and now DWTS ... yay Joe ..

I am not watching, but I'm happy that he continues to mess with what the judges want. This show has been so screwed up for years because of favouritism to certain pros that it just stopped being enjoyable. The ringers annoy me to no end since you pretty much know who will win right from the start. That people are voting so much for him partially because he is just very likeable and the rest basically as a finger to the judges, must be driving them crazy. I bet they never thought that a guy who went home night one of the Bette would have that kind of following. Good for him. He will be making a pretty penny from the show.

How many people are left?

6 are left.

Apparently each couple will be doing 2 dances on Monday night. The first dance is a new to them style and the dance is dedicated to a meaningful person in their life. The second dance is Judges' choice. Here is the list as shown on the link below:

Looking at the dance styles performed on week 1 as listed on wikipedia, all contestants are doing their week 1 style in the judges choice dance.

@havadrpepper thanks!

Can't wait to see Juan Pablo's dances! Those two are great choices for him.

Poor Joe, he's going to be all fumble feet in the quick step.

According to a comment on the post from puredwts, the songs for the judges' choice dances are the songs each would have danced to if they had to dance the 2nd dance that week. Out of these 6, Alexis was the only one that danced the 2nd night. Her song is the song that Tinashe would have danced to on the 2nd night if she had to dance.

So I wonder if they are using the same choreography they would have used the first week or if it is all new.

@havadrpepper since they are all new songs looks like it's same dance style yet different choreography.
