Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2023

That is so great they all deserve to be in the finals!

Not Alyson. I like her, but no.

 

[Imzadi]

I didn’t see that coming. Wonder how the elimination will work during the finale. Eliminate 3 right off the bat after the first dance?

That wouldn't be fair to those three who also prepared a Freestyle dance.

Maybe it will be a dance off for the Final Two? An extra dance they have to dance to? And the judges will pick the winner?

 

[robinb]

Yes, all that spinning would give me vertigo.

My tea cup is always a “no spin” tea cup. I’m OK with the way it naturally spins, but the extra spinning makes me want to barf.

 

[robinb]

This has been one of the best semi finals that I can remember in a long time.

Yes! After what I thought it was going to be a so-so season.

 

[robinb]

I’m excited all 5 are going to the finals! More freestyles for us to enjoy!!!

There is that!

 

[Imzadi]

I do! I don’t have kids sometimes I go alone and sometimes DH comes on with me.

@CynBeth Which kind of teacup do you do?

It’s going to be interesting to see what they come up with. Having the judges pick the winner would be something.

@CynBeth Which kind of teacup do you do?

I am not sure what you mean I thought they are all the same where they spin around and then you can control it to spin and I spin as much as I can it is harder when doing it yourself.

Good show!

Jason’s waltz was so so, but I loved his Paso.

Xochitl was flawless.

Charity just annoys me.

Arianna’s foxtrot was amazing.

Alyson is cute, not sure she’s totally keeping up with the rest though.

This season has been really good with Alfonzo and Julianne as hosts

 

[robinb]

I have to say that I am less upset with no one leaving yesterday than I would if Harry were still around. Now that I'm over the shock, I am looking forward to see what Sasha comes up with for a freestyle for Alyson.

Folks on Instagram saying that everyone knew that the five would be moving on to the finals- including the judges. Carrie Ann gave an interview days ago talking to Mario Lopez. Apparently he said the five couples in the finals and she didn’t correct him.

I thought Ariana’s cry face looked fake at the end. That explains it.

 

[disneychrista]

I have to say when they announced the safe people and they basically went from the bottom of leader board up I was like what the heck....5 in the finale is a bit much. I thought 4 was too many as well. Didn't it used to be 3 and then widdled it down to 2 before a final dance?

Next week is 3 hours, this has been planned the entire time

The semi-finalists had to have known.

 

[Imzadi]

Next week is 3 hours, this has been planned the entire time

Isn't it always 3 hours? They do the first dance. Then they have ALL the contestants back and they do a little dance, that takes up an hour. Then the troupe for the DWTS tour does a couple dances. This year, Alfonso & Julianna will dance. Then it will be the freestyles.

Last season it was 4 finalists:
Gabby & Val
Charli & Mark
Wayne & Witney
Shangela & Gleb

Charli & Mark won.

I know there were a lot of couples but I am guessing this was meant to be 16 couples (32 participants.

I miss read the post.

No, this is DWTS: Season 32. Until a few years ago, DWTS was usually on twice a year.

I just went back and read it. I misread it as 32 COUPLES not SEASON 32 couples.

I saw video of her on Instagram getting fitted for fringe pants. She might get an extra point for her salsa from Derek for the pants.
