DWTS General Chit Chat

Gleb Savchenko is taking another quickstep into fatherhood.
The Dancing With the Stars ballroom pro and his wife, fellow dancer Elena Samodanova, are expecting their second child together, E! News can exclusively confirm.
The star, who is currently competing for the mirror ball trophy, is also dad to their daughter, Olivia.

Congrats to Gleb and Elena. There seems to be a baby boom in Danceland!

Not really DWTS related, but I thought everybody would enjoy this evolution of MJ's dances over the years performed by Ricardo Walker and his Crew. Great dancing enhanced by effective editing, costume changes, and camerawork. It's so good!

Yay!

While we're waiting for Monday night (rather Tuesday afternoon in my case), some teasers from our week four show last Fiday. Just watch the dances and skip the rest maybe.
Remember Noah? Look what this guy can do on a prosthetic leg:

The title is wrong; it's actually a Salsa. Whatever.

Next up a Rumba that would lack chemistry for Jules, and our judges had similar remarks, but I thought the girl was right playing it cool. There was a little wardrobe malfunction, but just look at that body-control:

Finally, the current front-runners. The judges went nuts. Not perfect though, but thrilling:

Thanks bro. I had a hellacious time getting these to play but I finally changed my VPN portal to Frankfurt and it worked.

That man with the prosthetic leg made my jaw drop. Where Noah did lifts and poses this man danced and danced well.

I can see why your front runners are indeed, front runners. Well done.

We don't see nearly as many pro numbers now--especially since there is no longer a Results show. It was fun to see choreography frequently created by the pros themselves. Here are a few from Season 16.

Season 16 - Week 5 - Opening Number (choreographed by Lacey Schwimmer)

What memories with this one--Kellie, Zendaya, Andy, Aly, Sean. Sharna and Lindsay in their first season as pros.

Season 16 - Week 5 - Results Show (choreographed by Mark Ballas and Derek Hough)

Only Mark and Derek could have come up with this theme!

Season 16 - Week 9 - Results Show (choreographed by Jason Gilkeson)

Yay!

This one belongs on both the HM and LL topics so I'll put it here. From Peta's IG today.

It was either CA or JH that called him Rico Suave and Bruno said he was 'cool grandpa'!! Man dance

Yes he is!!!

My gosh Chongatroyd was fun! Don't know if we'll see that level of pure fun again.

I'd love to see Tommy as a guest judge. Smile

Just saw there will be a tour after season 24. Now I'm thinking that will impact the winner. If you place the top four as Simone, Rashad, Normani and Nancy I think Simone will have the edge. She is likely the only one with the time to tour just as Laurie was last season. I hope not because I would rather any of the other three win but - DWTS does love to have their winner on tour.

by **Lesallee** Sat Apr 29, 2017 6:39 pm

It seems Val will not be on the tour. That probably means no Normani either. Really starting to feel like a Simone win to me.

by **DeadManDancing** Sun Apr 30, 2017 12:52 pm

That would really turn me off, even more so because dancewise she doesn't really deserve it. That's the huge difference between her and Laurie. We should look at her packages from that angle. When the tears start falling, there's something rotten in the State of Denmark.

by **DeadManDancing** Mon May 01, 2017 2:32 pm

The pro line-up for the tour. No Val (honestly, the guy really needs a break) but a chance for Alan.

Just a thought--Rashad and Simone could finish 1st and 2nd and both be available for the tour. That way Rashad can participate at least part of the time if he is available, and at the same time Simone could also tour because she would be the runner-up. Plus their pro partners Emma and Sasha (as DWTS's current happily engaged couple) are already set up for the tour as well. Would that be a satisfactory way to make the tour more appealing? If James had been willing and available last season, I'm sure fans would have been happy to see him despite him being the runner-up.

by **Lesallee** Mon May 01, 2017 6:07 pm

I know Rashad is a free agent very much hoping to get picked up by a team. If he does, will that preclude him from touring with DWTS? It's a big time commitment and Simone seems the likeliest participant.

I think Rashad/Emma and Simone/Sasha will finish 1-2 (ahh, the mileage DWTS can make out Emma and Sasha going head to head). I still have the feeling Simone will win. As I've said before, I would be glad to be wrong.

Hey sis I will miss the show tonight but will keep updated from the posts. Got popcorn for movie night?

by **Lesallee** Mon May 01, 2017 7:52 pm

I will be watching the Detroit cable feed at six our time so no popcorn tonight. Something a little more nutritious I think. Baked potato, stuffed Portobello mushroom caps and salad.

by **kincaid53** Mon May 01, 2017 8:04 pm

YUM!!!

Yum for sure!

How do you post a video from Youtube here directly without it going to YouTube instead?

by **suebob16** Sun May 07, 2017 6:43 pm

From the YouTube website page that has the video you want, COPY the address located towards the top of the page. Then when you come back here to post, hit the YouTube icon from the bar just above the reply box. A small window will open up that asks you to PASTE the video address into it (http:, etc.). Hit the Insert button and the video will post here. Just be sure when you are ready to post to leave enough room for the video to fit within your message. Once the video posts, you can add or delete spaces to make it fit better if necessary.

I hope that helps, let me know if you have any problems with it.

Thanks, suebob. Do you mean copy the URL at the top of the page?
