Omggg we’re getting a Britney night this season  Deserved!!!

And yes, PLEASE no more “Toxic” routines. There’s been a plethora of them across all versions of the show already, including 2 in the past year with Kaitlyn’s AT and then Kyly’s Freestyle on Australia 18.It’s like this show thinks that it’s the only Britney song that exists.

I just read on the wiki page about a Britney theme!  

 

And YES @ Amanda's comment on please no more Toxic routines. But sadly I think its unavoidable and will happen. I LOVE the song and think its an iconic song but its way too overdone at this point. But I can't see the Britney episode without a Toxic routine.

 

And YES, it's also frustrating how the show think of Toxic as the only Britney song there is.

 

But the good thing about it, as at least there will be plenty of Britney songs they never used before that they can use for this episode.

IF U SEEK AMY ROUTINE PLZ AND TY

@aliasocfanMake your draft pick

Wooohoo Britney night!! 

 

Tbh my immediate thought is I hope a female celeb does circus. I know Tinashe did it in season 27 but I feel like it could be a really fun one.

I thought we were gonna see a “Skate” Cha-Cha but wasn’t expecting a Foxtrot.

 

Same with “Kiss Me More”…love that it’s Kenya’s first song  But interested to see that as a Foxtrot.

 

Mel of course getting “Wannabe” straight away, this predictable show.

[*Lily]

Soundbites are also out!

I know it's a predictable song choice, but I am here for Mel C dancing to Wannabe.

Lol why do these current songs assigned to Foxtrots.... make no sense as they would fit better for Cha-Cha's?

This is the same show that thinks "I Love It" is a good Paso Doble song. What else would you expect?  

 

Although, it wouldn't surprise me if at least one of these dance styles is wrong, as it happened several times last season.  #NeverForget the "Hound Dog" Viennese Waltz in the press release.

There is no better way to welcome Len back to the show than making him react to a Doja Cat Foxtrot.

[*Lily]

While I remember.. @ungodlyhour I need you for the draft!  If you get here to see this! Otherwise I may have to move forward this weekend to try and get all four drafts complete before Monday night

Lmao, you are exactly right. This show never ceases to amaze me with its song/style combos.

Lmao I complete  agree on this.

Len is gonna be raging, haha.

 

Although darn I was wanting a Cha Cha to that song. But at least Kenya has that song.

 

[Linds]

That foxtrot song choice? uhh---

 

Overall good song choices though. Most looking forward to Suni, The Miz, Cody and Amanda based on the song and dance choices

[ILuvCarrie4eva]

I was getting worried we'd have a premiere that we had no idea who was dancing what! lol

[Elliott]

Cody and Cheryl about to slay!

[*Lily]

Ok really want to try and get the final drafts back up and running before the live shows begin so I'm gonna set a deadline for tomorrow at 3PM EST which I think probably works out to like 1 day + 5 hours until Monday's show starts? pls correct me if I'm totally miscalculating though, I tried to work this out by US times and it may be off

 

So @ungodlyhour and @Ariel1989 I'll need your first picks by then please if you can! Otherwise I'll move any drafts awaiting picks down to 4 players and adjust the process accordingly as so with Drafts 1 and 2. Cam hasn't been online yet, hopefully everything is ok! But just for the sake of trying to get everything up and running by then.

[*Wallace]

You are correct on the US times there, Lily.

[*Lily]

As Cam hasn't been online in a few days I'm going to move on Draft 4 with four players to try and get everything done. Hope everything is ok with Cam of course!

 

Draft 3 is about halfway done so I'm hoping we'll be able to wrap that up by tomorrow night's show.

[Elliott]

@*Lily for future reference, eastern time is five hours behind you.

 

(Except for like one week in the fall because we stay in Daylight Savings later than you do.)

[ShortstopVM]

 

I just saw the pairings... I have to actually root FOR the Miz to win the Mirror Ball?!?!?

Me getting the popcorn ready for IDF’s continued annoyance at Cody and The Miz’s continued survival on the show on their way to the final two:

 

Yes I know we all said the same about Jesse and AJ, let me be

The way Kenya started watching DWTS 15 years before it even began.  Her power
