DWTS33 Week 4 - Dedication Night Discussion thread!


Recommended Posts

I would probably rank tonight's dances as the following: 

 

1.    Joey & Jenna - Viennese Waltz
2.    Chandler & Brandon - Contemporary
3.    Danny & Witney - Contemporary
4.    Ilona & Alan - Rumba
5.    Jenn & Sasha - Foxtrot
6.    Stephen & Rylee - Argentine Tango
7.    Phaedra & Val - Rumba
8.    Brooks & Gleb - Salsa
9.    Dwight & Daniella - Rumba
 

Hmm, I think 4/5 and 7/8 could be interchangeable as I'm not sure on those rankings.

Thoughts:

  • Not a fan of Emmy bait dances usually but considering the hell that Derek & Hayley went through, I will allow it (I sobbed into my cat’s fur for most of it though)
  • Witney contemporaries cure my depression and clear my skin
  • Joey’s Viennese waltz was solid and I love that for him
  • All five women getting the exact same score is whack I’m sorry
  • Stephen can execute the moves, but he’s struggling with making them flow together cohesively
  • Sasha kinda backslid on choreo this week but he’s been in a ton of dental pain (emergency tooth pull this past week) so that likely didn’t help him or Jenn out
  • Chandler not getting at least one 9 and then ending in the “bottom 3” is some clownery
  • ILONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  • Not Brooks & Gleb being the last two people to figure out their showmance wasn’t working lmao

Brooks & Gleb :wub: What I love is that it was clear there was genuine shock at their elimination. Which is.. truly delusional lmao I have not seen one positive thing about this couple outside this forum. Gleb asked for a hot model partner and he proceeded to completely squander any chances he had of winning over an already misogynist voting base. But they left a great mark on the season. I’ve talked a lot of crap on Gleb but nobody could have delivered such a glorious mess as he did.

 

Chandler being in the bottom 3… oof. Giving me Tinashe flashbacks. Let it be known though that if she gets robbed this season it’s not Brandon’s fault :kissbye:

 

I do think Dwight is struggling to pick back up momentum and I actually wouldn’t be surprised to see him go sooner than we initially thought. At least we can hope.

Sure Jan GIF

Brandon’s been delivering this season and I don’t see any more he could be doing so far. An early elimination would be more of a reflection on Chandler being a ringer/having a smaller fanbase, than anything Brandon’s done, IMO.

I guess I meant more-so that I don't think he's a capable enough pro to handle Chandler's potential, which is what will ultimately impact them. Granted the judges praising her isn't helping matters, but I see comments at various places of people talking about how she looks like the pro / he looks like the celeb in their dancing, which is just going to alienate potential voters.

 

And my [potentially] hot take is that I don't think his choreo or dancing has improved this season, Chandler's just that good.

LOL yeahh you said it all regarding Brooks & Gleb here. :haha: I'm guessing they only read/see comments of them on IDF or something because this is the only place I've seen positive comments of them. Everywhere else I see such negative comments, so their elimination should not have been a shock to them. :haha: But I do love the delusions. ❤️

Chandler is getting the typical mid-season, manufactured criticism from the judges that *most* female frontrunners tend to get. however, it's important to note that that archetype is usually filled by white women with sizable fanbases. Chandler is a Black woman with a smaller fanbase, partnered with a Black male pro who also has a smaller fanbase. i get that they want to try and expand her fanbase by giving her a "comeback" storyline, but i also feel like it may be too risky given the demographic of the show (even though it is now leaning younger... it still very white and generous towards the male celebs). setting her back is making it appear as if other contestants (specifically men) are doing better than her right now, which in my opinion, is not entirely the case. that could be harmful longterm. given the show's bad past in regards to reception and treatment of Black women (and the fact that there is only one Black woman winner in 32 seasons), i wish that her arc would be fully positive and embracing of the representation she is providing!
