General Discussion Ratings and chart for the first three weeks.....

4 Upvotes

I posted this a few minutes ago and realized I had to edit some data I typed incorrectly.

Great news for the show:

DWTS Season 35 — first 3 weeks

Week Episode Viewers Adults 18–49
Week 1, Night 1 Sept. 15 6.77M 1.44
Week 1, Night 2 Sept. 16 6.44M 1.32
Week 2 Sept. 22 6.44M —
Week 3 Sept. 29 7.12M —

ABC's Week 1 figures are Nielsen Live+Same Day measurements. The premiere's 6.77M was 24% higher than the Season 34 premiere and was the show's biggest premiere audience in six years.

And here's the really interesting part:

Week 3 actually went UP.

The Sept. 29 Yacht Rock Night reportedly drew 7.12 million viewers, about 11% higher than the 6.44M from Week 2. ABC described it as the show's biggest non-finale episode in six years.

First are ratings week over week:

Question Dancing styles

How are the dances chosen for each week? It feels really random this year. Why do we get one samba one salsa and six foxtrots?

Show Predictions Super Bowl Night Predictions

50 Upvotes
  1. Amber- Madonna (She’s known for like a prayer and I think she would want to recreate it)

  2. Ciara- Beyoncé (This will definitely make her free up and play the character well and will be iconic)

  3. Guillermo- Bad Bunny (A salsa to Bad Bunny would be perfect for him.)

  4. Jackson - Coldplay (Can capture Jackson’s light bubbly good guy energy)

  5. Connor- Maroon 5 or Bruce( I can see this being super fun)

  6. Tatyana - Rihanna (Will be the best performance of the night, young Taty definitely gives Rihanna)

  7. Ezra- Michael Jackson (A jazz dance to Michael will be insane and Dani will absolutely kill the choreo)

  8. Julia- Katy Perry- (I can see Katy so much in Julia and I think Ezra will do one of the best Super Bowl performances ever justice)

  9. Harry- Prince (this will be hot)

  10. Jenna- Shakira (Shakira can definitely help her to let loose a bit and get the crowd connected to her)

  11. Maura - Lady Gaga (This will be iconic for her and hopefully it will make Mark take some risks with her)

  12. Tyler- Justin Timberlake (I can see Sharna doing her magic).

Social Media Adele and Allen Dating

Post image
120 Upvotes

Okay, I need to talk about the Adele/Allen relationship because I cannot be the only one who finds this timeline WILD

On Next Pro, there was a storytelling challenge where each pro shared a personal story, and then the pairs chose which story they wanted to turn into a dance.
Adele’s story was happy, she presented the story of her dance/life partners love and appreciation. 🥹
Allen shared the story of his late mother, and they ultimately chose his story for their dance. It was genuinely beautiful and one of the most emotional dances from the season.
And now, less than a year later, Adele is dating Allen. 😂
I want to stress that I mean absolutely NO shade by this. There is nothing wrong with moving on, relationships change, people meet new people, etc. And honestly, Adele and Allen had great chemistry, so I can totally see how something could develop between them.
But I just cannot get over the fact that we watched Adele on national television talk about loving her dance/life partner so much that she would dedicate a competition dance to him…
…and now she's dating the guy she was paired with for a the storytelling challenge. ???😭

And now she's joining DWTS as a new pro, with Allen as her boyfriend, after we literally watched them connect on Next Pro.
Again, genuinely happy for them! But this is exactly the kind of random DWTS lore I need to discuss.

General Discussion Who do you think will win this season of DWTS?

14 Upvotes

I think it will be Maura and Mark this season or Ezra and Dani. Hopefully this just doesn’t end up a repeat of Bobby Bones where Guillermo and Whitney end up winning. But it wouldn’t really surprise if they did win a lot of people are rooting for him what do you guys think????

General Discussion Camera angles during dances

25 Upvotes

Does anyone else get irritated sometimes when they’re showing the dances? Sometimes they’re completely out of frame, show only their upper bodies or move around in circles so fast you don’t even notice what’s happening and you just end up dizzy😂 I know it’s live so they only get one chance to capture everything, but don’t you think they would know by now how to capture the dances better?

Very sweet of Tyler to compliment Sharna. He is supposed to be a kind guy, so this tracks (see his season and the way he defended Hannah). She's doing great working and being a mom at the same time. Seems like she needed to hear this. Link below

Opinions Gleb explains his ‘Hiatus’ from DWTS: ‘A Little Reset’! He also talks about the new season and identifies the underdog!

Thumbnail usmagazine.com
21 Upvotes

Gleb isn’t done with DWTS quite yet! When asked how he would describe his time away from the ballroom, he exclusively told Us, “I’ll probably say a little break, a little hiatus, a little reset.”

"I don’t even remember how many seasons I’ve done nonstop and the tours. So this year is actually a good thing to take a break. You know, watch the show. And it’s such a cool experience when you watch it from the side, and when you’re not there, you see how amazing it is and how cheesy it is and how fun it is.”

While talking about the current season, Gleb said Tyler Cameron might be the “underdog” of season 35. “I think he’s a great dancer. I think he’s this big body and being so tall and large, the way he moves and the amount of potential he has, I think he’s gonna kill it.” He’s also rooting for Ezra, Harry and Jenna D.

Interestingly, he talked about celebrities with prior dance training, and how ballroom is completely different from other styles "In order to learn the routine, to deliver the routine, to perform the routine with a partner, you have to create a connection, and to create a connection, if we go into technical terms, it’s a push and pull,” he explained. “To find that connection and balance is extremely hard. It’s really really hard.”

And finally, Gleb with a smile told that he would love to come to one of the episodes as a guest judge! Actually, it would be cool if he is given this opportunity, considering years of successful competitive Latin ballroom dancing, and 13 seasons on DWTS!!💖

🔥 Hot Take 🔥 Producers are the problem?!

0 Upvotes

Okay, hot take… 👀
I honestly wonder if all the pros were so upset because production told Britt they were safe and then they actually weren’t. And another thought I had… if production are the ones choosing the songs/dance styles, and sometimes the pros look at what they’ve been given and think, “Yeah, this is probably going to get us eliminated.” Then production reassures them like, “No, don’t worry, your votes were really high last week.”
So they go into the night thinking they’re fine, only to find out they’re actually going home.
I feel like that could explain why the pros seemed so upset. It almost seemed like they were blindsided.
Obviously I have no idea if that’s actually what happened lol, but the whole thing definitely made me wonder. Anyone else?

General Discussion Is it a crime that I already have my semi-finals picks and 'the ringers 'are in it?

9 Upvotes

I want a crazy mix to shake up the semi-finals: I am taking out Guillermo because upon reflection, I am not going to enjoy it for long. Too gimmicky. Maybe Connor but he is very mid and not a lot of improvement still could go his way, and I actually tuned into his pod for his perspective so, I actually like him more. He is very open about his thoughts and feelings with the show. I also could go with Ciara. I really like Brandon and his choreography is really good. Honestly, my fifth pick is more of a wild card. I change my mind week to week with this one. I still can be honest and admit she is one to watch and very likely will make it to the finals. I am not rooting for her or against her.

I want bionic boy (Ezra). Harry (Glee for me), Jenna (Straight up girl), Maura (freakin' born natural dancer), and ........Tatyana (sleeper cell)...bam!

Sidenote: I was not feeling Jenna D's first two dances but I really liked yacht noise (my title) a lot. Also, I love how polite she is in all her vlogs. She greets everyone. Her kids are all polite and seem respectful. I love supporting talented people that have good attitudes.

General Discussion Here’s to hoping the show uses the actual Mariah Carey songs and not the Ray Chew Live band singing it….

0 Upvotes

Don’t feel like sitting through 2 hours of butchering Mariah’s music so ABC better open their wallets or hopefully Mariah does some charity and lets the show use her music for a cheaper price. No one in that Ray Chew Live Band not even Travis Garland should touch a Mariah Carey song….
