DWTS33 Week 3, Night 1 - Soul Train Night Discussion thread!

[nickp]

dwight’s wig is everything to me

[ungodlyhour]

Not living for this. Dwight can go

[FrogLenzen]

if you told me that was a Daniella solo I would believe you

[*Wallace]

Fun dance from Dwight & Daniella. He's another one where I feel like he's a great and natural performer and he sold it with the joy he had there performance-wise. Technically speaking, it was.... kinda rough and not so good. Like comparing it to his Salsa, which was good and SO fun, I felt this was disappointing and not quite all the way there.  I felt like this dance exposed his limitations on a technical level.

 

Omg I'm shook that the judges are being brutally honest - well moreso CA.

[ungodlyhour]

Their gapping is just so severe I don’t see how any dance besides a contemporary or freestyle is gonna look good  

[Abe1818]

I fear it was giving T-Rex stomping around looking for food

[*Wallace]

OMG Bruno's comments on him making up the dance at times. Lowkey felt like that was happening with Dwight there.  Gahh this was his weakest so far. Though I'm sure he'll come back strong with his Paso tomorrow.

[*Wallace]

Hmm 6s should be thrown in there. 

 

And oh... okay, yeah I figured a mix of 6s and a 5 would be there. I can't really complain about that sadly.

[Elliott]

I’m sorry, they’re just gonna brush over JOEY BEING A CHEERLEADER??????

Dwight getting his lashings from the judges

Cha cha the hardest dance? Really?? with Samba and Quickstep right there?

Sometimes I hear pro dancers say the Cha-Cha is the hardest dance and sometimes I hear it's the easiest. I'm confused which one it is?

[ungodlyhour]

Pretty fair scores in there, actually. I’m genuinely shocked CA gave her fav a 6. Also, lower than Eric?  Crazy

[ILuvCarrie4eva]

Even 6's were too high.

 

The facials and wig was a 10 but that dance was a mess.

lmao yeah I'm really shocked about that from CA. But yay her for showing some fairness there.  

[*Wallace]

Oh wait, Dwight is below Eric on the leaderboard? Genuinely shocked and shook by that.  

[*Wallace]

I also think nearly everyone except me predicted Dwight for biggest decrease in scores and now I'm MAD mad.  

 

 

[*Wallace]

Oooh fierce pro bumper from Pasha, Daniella, Britt and Brandon!  

[*Wallace]

Danny & Witney Foxtrot time. He's been slowly improving so expecting that again with this Foxtrot.

 

Though yikes I don't know about his channeling of Michael Jackson. Sounds like a disaster lmao.

[Elliott]

Why is Derek talking to me?

I think a lot of pros say Cha-Cha-Cha is probably the easiest dance to pick up which is why so many people nail it early on Strictly and why people get out of the way early. But they say this the hardest dance to master which is why Strictly doesn't usually have wow Cha-Cha-Cha's in the end game.

[Abe1818]

They should've given Danny a stiff Samba to this 

[FrogLenzen]

Mrs. Lenzen assures me that she wouldn't date me if my neck was wider than my head, but idk if I believe her

lmao I predicted him because I figured they were wanted the backlash from the first two weeks to stop.
