James is going in the first half of the line-up? Is DWTS feeling okay?

i think this is still unpopular here but I stan Joey Fatone's S4 run tbh <3.

Who’s ready for another night of disappointment?

For once, Nick Carter isn’t the most problematic person dancing on a stage to Backstreet Boys.

Who keeps scoring S*an so high? :x

Hmm I wonder if it's AJ McLean since there's an article he helps out one of the celebs on their dances. Sounds like it will be him. :lol:

Also I’m looking at the #dwts hashtag on twitter and there are so many “VOTE FOR SEAN. IT’S THE CHRISTIAN THING TO DO.” and I’ve honestly never seen such a strong advertisement for both Atheism and erasing the Great Plains from the map.

Apparently a BSB member will be in a dance tonight.

has the order been released?

They don’t care enough to leak it.

I’m only here for Carly Rae Jepsen.

Drinking game for tonight: take a shot every time Jenna tries (and fails) to hide her disgust of S*an.

Simon changing the rules again, now saying whoever is the "most popular" loser before the finale is going to get a place in it. :ermm:

Simon being a trainwreck and changing the rules every week for no reason is lowkey my favourite thing about X Factor

Not that I want to pick sides in this because, of all the names the only person I actually like is Cassadee, but Lea is by far the best technical singer of all of the names. Not to mention using #1s as a measure of singing ability can easily be argued given that Black Eyed Peas went to #1 for six months using two songs that were done completely on computers. :*

Thinking it will be Ally & Kel. I still think Hannah is popular enough with her fanbase to avoid the Bottom 2. But things will be really interesting come next week as four of the 6 remaining celebs have Bottom 2'd and one of them will. :o

Are they announcing a B2 next week? I was under the impression it would just be the dancer who places last in votes going home so the finale would be the four people America advanced.

so who is expecting a Ally/Kel or Ally/Hannah bottom 2 tonight? or just me?

Kel and Ally are the only ones who have been in the B2 so I’m expecting them. The judges will save Ally again after giving her a perfect score both rounds.

Lol wait a minute this is a MESS. Emma won't be guest judging 'due to a scheduling conflict'... was there not any talks/preparation about something like that for this to come up so last minute? I feel like it must have been something urgent otherwise that's a big oversight lol.

 

I was really looking forward to Emma judging though so this is a shame. Although I was ready to unstan the moment she gave S*an an 8 or something, so at least I don't have to worry about that.

 

It says Joey is still guest judging so I wonder if they'll bring him out for both rounds, or just for the boy band one while only the main 3 judge the girl groups.

I'm realizing how much of this Top 30 I only remember bits and pieces about.

Give Sean a combined 8 and everyone else gets a combined 80. :*

Sean in the bottom two when there’s still two minorities to make up a bottom two? Let us pray.

Andrew and I were watching one of those holiday cooking competitions on Food Network. This girl was in the B2 for four weeks in a row before she got eliminated, and she looked more relieved post-elimination than queen Mischa.

This question....

 

- How many dances will get perfect scores 4

- and which ones? James, Ally, Lauren, Hannah

 

With the "which ones" I was meaning the celebs and their dance styles. :lol: So that was your answer.... so yeah just put in which dance styles you think they will get perfect scores on.

Huh?

Michelle didn’t get the votes because she insulted British culture this past Thursday on Drag Race.
