Re: Team Takedown Thread - Alek and Lindsay

They are kind of the dark horses this season. Lindsay is such a cutie- we really should add her to the clover leaf!

by **SLA44** Mon Sep 21, 2015 3:08 pm

I hope they do as well as they did last week - they seem to have a good connection when they are dancing - good chemistry as shown in this picture:

They are one of my favorites right up there with Nick and Sharna. What is the clover leaf?

Consider Lindsay added to the Cloverleaf! Oh man, our Cloverleaf is getting crowded. And to think we started out with a three leafed clover, Peta, Sharna and Karina.

Way back on the old board, we got tired of all the Hough- Chmerkovskiy battles and decided it was time to pay tribute to the female pros. That gave birth to the original Lovely Ladies thread and the three leaf clover (Sharna, Peta, Karina) that has been growing ever since. The girls are killing it, and the show would be nothing without them.

for explaining the clover leaf. Is it now a four leaf clover or are there more than the three you mentioned plus Lindsay. Isn't Whitney one also?

by **DeadManDancing** Mon Sep 21, 2015 4:35 pm

Check the number of female pros on the show (plus some who are not on currently, like Kym), and you know why Lesallee said it's crowded. It wouldn't be fair to exclude anyone; they're all great and loveable in their own way.

by **Lesallee** Mon Sep 21, 2015 4:39 pm

Oh my gosh, SLA, our cloverleaf is very crowded now. We added Witney season 19 then Kym and Emma. Now we have Lindsay and at the next meeting of the Cloverleaf Society I will be putting Anna up for membership.

Brother DMD explained the CloverLeaf origins very well. Back on the old dysfunctional ABC board so many saw only the male pros as having any value and we just got tired of it. My gosh, these women are supremely talented and just as competent in every way as the men.

Good Luck Team Takedown!!................As I said on another thread I thought Lindsey would gey Andy since they added her with Peta out, but I'm liking this pairing!!!

by **Lesallee** Mon Sep 21, 2015 9:06 pm

Julianne! C'mon, a 7? That dance was triple 8's no doubt about it.

We have a pair of contenders here for sure.

by **Psychee22** Mon Sep 21, 2015 10:27 pm

This team looked terrific tonight. Smooth. I'm really liking this humble guy.

by **kincaid53** Mon Sep 21, 2015 10:58 pm

Wow...tenderness with muscle power.......nice job with him Lindsay!!!

by **suebob16** Tue Sep 22, 2015 12:07 am

Wow those lifts! Good job Alek and Lindsay! Smile

by **SLA44** Tue Sep 22, 2015 1:09 am

Those lifts were unbelievable!! He made them look so effortless and he seemed so gentle with her. Don't know why Julianne gave him a 7 though.

by piratealikat Tue Sep 22, 2015 3:00 am

Hey! I'm all for this team too! Here is a guy, no performance skills what so ever, and he is sweeping us off our feet. I gotta admit, when I saw him in the opening number, I thought he was done for. He really couldn't remember the moves in the street dance (I'm now thinking overload) and I didn't have much hope for him. Wow. Just WOW! He was not only dead on in the choreography in his Foxtrot, he was actually graceful. It's very hard for men with no dance to learn to use their arms correctly, and he had it nailed.

I do kind of understand where he got the 7 from Julianne. There were a ton of lifts in that dance, but not a lot of dancing. What he did was perfectly in sync with Lindsay, but I would have like more dance and less lifts. Can hardly wait to see what they do tomorrow night!

by **SLA44** Tue Sep 22, 2015 3:06 am

They have the Quickstep tomorrow according to PureDWTS.

by **DeadManDancing** Tue Sep 22, 2015 3:20 pm

No lifts, just steps- hope he will master that as well. They really seem to connect- that usually helps the performance.

by **kincaid53** Tue Sep 22, 2015 6:06 pm

QS.........aaahhhh.....now we will see what our handsome hero is made of....dance wise that is........ I.have a good feeling he will do just fine!

Good Luck Teamdown!!!

Good for Bruno, that was a well-deserved 8 for this beautiful couple.

by **Lesallee** Tue Sep 22, 2015 10:35 pm

I simply enjoy this team. Alek, a novice, is putting so much into it and it is paying off. Can't say enough about Lindsay's teaching, incredible.

by **Babs2147** Tue Sep 22, 2015 11:33 pm

They're a couple to watch. Would be delighted if they have a long
run! Smile

by **Starz** Wed Sep 23, 2015 1:20 pm

I love them! He is becoming a very good dancer and then there is the whole Hero story. I think it would be great if they win the MBT. Probably not going to happen, but then again, ya never know.

by **DeadManDancing** Wed Sep 23, 2015 4:15 pm

Hey Starz, I was just thinking the same thing! While everybody is talking 'bout the big three, what if Alek and Hayes battled it out coming up from behind? I don't think I have ever seen so many potential finalists. Alek is one of them. Lindsay is as good as Witney, so why not?
