DWTS - Season 28 - Episodes - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Any of us could have written that. It is what we have been saying since we found out about the voting this season.

Was traveling for work this week. Do we know who is on Hannah's team for the team dance?

quick screenshot of Team Trick for Monday's team dance

@Norcalgal Thank you!  So glad to see James on her team and Spicer is not!

IMO, if the voting wasn't all goofy this would be a great season. There is a greater than usual collection of really good talent, making exceptional progress week to week and I am enjoying all the additional production value and as always, the fantastic costumes. The music, I'm finding a bit lackluster, IMO. Pasha is a great addition to the pro team, IMO. He is an exceptional choreographer who is almost Derek-like in his ability to tailor the dance to the dancer and highlight their strengths.

I'm preparing myself for a totally surprise ending because once Spicer is gone, it's anyone's game and that's what makes it exciting, IMO. However, the voting process makes it almost impossible to trust that there is any semblance of fairness so, I fear some viewers' attitudes will be much like when Bobby Bones won - no matter who the new winner is.

Hmmm, I smell a conspiracy for the second week. Think the judges are now trying to get Spicer into the bottom 2 so they can eliminate him.

First, Hannah's group looks like it was packed with 4 strong dancers. Think it will be very difficult for the other group (with SS) to pick up the most points.

Second, and in my non-dancer opinion, Kel's jive was quite good but I wouldn't have given him four 9's for that performance. However, he would better survive the bottom 2 if paired with SS with a high score of 27.

I think Hannah actually “performed”better this week and she was better than Ally tonight IMO but who knows what the judges know about the voting scores.

First Latin song of the season for a Latin dance for Lauren Alaina’s Tango; yikes these producers really suck with the song selections this season.

I think all the performances tonight so far have been lack luster compared to what we have seen in prior seasons IMO, they need to let the pros take over the song selections and overall package IMO.

While I do agree a bit with the judge that Hannah sometimes seems so focused on the steps that she doesn't really "feel" the music but on the other hand they do seem very tough on her in comparison to others. To see Karoma get the scores he did compared to Hannah makes no sense to me. Sometimes I wonder if they already have an idea on the fan voting and try to manipulate things with the judges votes??

On a side note, there's been speculation of something between Hannah and Alan, but tonight they couldn't be farther apart from each other. Such a difference from the last couple weeks

Hannah most definitely has a lot to improve on the performance side of things, the steps are not her problem as she hits them clean. My issue is the inconsistency with the scoring; Ally and Karamo had very obvious errors at I saw and Hannah gets the same score as Karamo, what the heck???? Well we shall see if Hannah lands in the bottom two tonight, gonna be interesting. She was already tearing up as Carrie Ann was laying it on her. And watch the judges give Spicer no constructive feedback, and an 8 for effort

Demi looked pretty sad in the audience....

Funny that they cast the stiffest dancer as a stiff Frankenstein....
