Ugh I am never here for this slaughter and targeting of the kids season, but I’ve been saying that in the past and will continue on saying so. These kids were really talented and don’t deserve to be easy targets like this. :ermm: But alas, that’s my soap box rant and it is what is is soooo here we go.

 

I am choosing to cut Jake Monreal as he was one of my lesser faves of the nominees, although I do still like him. Jake is a ballroom dancer from Season 13 Kids season, who was partnered and mentored by Jenna Johnson. He lasted about 4 weeks on the season and made it to 8th/7th place alongside Jordan. Some of the dances he danced includes a Ballroom to “Ain’t Your Mama,” Samba to "Hip Hip Chin Chin" and a Jive to “Land of a Thousand Dances” all with Jenna, as well as a Hip-Hop to “Bad Man” with Jordan.

 

Jake later found success on DWTS Juniors where he was partnered with Sophia Pippen and mentored by Sasha Farber, and they made it to 9th lasting 3 weeks. And he grew up a lot there and looked and sounded totally unrecognizable and like a different person there. I mean obviously I know boys go through puberty with looks and voice changes soo it was so jarring to me. :dead:

 

Ooh wait, Google says he’s a pop artist sooo he sings too? I did not know this. But yeah Jake is a promising young talent and very good ballroom dancer so I wish him all the best as he grows older.

Same. Katua is one of my least favourite partnerships. :wub: I started warming up to him somewhat when he was an All-Star and had a couple of routines I liked, but just as I thought... trash.

That's something we can agree on :wub:

Let’s say that instead of “targeting kids,” my nominations were “forcing some of you to choose to save a kid.”

:dead:

 

You are a funny one. :haha:

 

Save Kida, cut Sheadan

 

Also Tahani deserved better and I agree with Wally that the kids don’t deserve to be targeted first when Jonnis exists :x

 

RIP Soap Box section :'(

Aww that forum. :bye2: Although I never really posted in there.

Sheadan Gabriel

Sheadan was chosen by Season 4 alum Joshua Allen as his partner in Season 13, so dubbed “The Next Generation”. Sheadan was a hip-hop dancing, so the pairing seemed natural but when Joshua was accused of domestic abuse, he was removed from the season and replaced with Marko. In the two weeks Sheadan was on the show, he danced two hip hop routines with Marko and a cha-cha with Daniela (Jonathan Platero’s partner). I cut Sheadan because I truly have no strong feelings for him. The only routine of his I remember was his second hip hop to Treasure by Bruno Mars, but I was fine with him being eliminated when he was. That being said, I felt like if he waited a few years and auditioned for a regular season he might have been good since he was a lot like Gev, Legacy or the most recent winner, Bailey.
