Well those remarks were super super harsh IMO! Yeah, it was pretty rough for 1st week. I hate when people start off with things like "The GOOD news is..." and then talk about something TOTALLY unrelated to the dance. I find it insulting.

Well, I didn't appreciate the picture of Demarcus tackling a Packer player in his highlights.... But, I usually do like watching the football players dance, so this should be good.

My early final 4 based off of night 1: Tinashe, Demarcus, Milo, & Juan...with the possibility of Evanna or Alexis sneaking in there!
But we all know anything can happen! Sad we have to lose one tomorrow night so soon...I'm into it so far. Can't wait to get to know them more..especially with longer dances!
Great to be back guys! I'll be popping in tomorrow night!

I felt so sorry for Joe. The Quickstep is a hard dance with all that footwork. I thought he started off okay but then either forgot what he was doing or missed a step and that threw him off. He's so nice. I hope he'll stay at least another week or two. He shouldn't beat himself up, he did okay for someone who doesn't know how to dance. He wasn't kidding. I think that was his mother sitting next to Kendall in the audience. And did you notice Jake Pavlka (sp) there. Barf!

They kept referring to Milo's mom in the audience, but I didn't see her. I'm such a huge fan of Camryn. Maybe I have to re-watch that part.
Milo's definitely my favorite. Just cute as a button and he can MOVE!
Nancy McKeon has, unfortunately, gained weight in that way that women can as we get older - right around the middle. BAD costuming for her. Hopefully, the costume department will be kinder to her next time....if there IS a next time. Alas, I sense an early exit for her.

What I liked about all of the dancers tonight is that they showed lots of personality even those with very little dance experience. Smiling, acting like it was fun, etc. They were all in! I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. I watched from the west coast while reading all your comments above. It was a fun night! I think the new dancers could do really well with some work. Too bad someone will go home next week as this is an interesting group.

I didn't see her either -- I figured they would show her after the dance, and when it was done they cut to three different parts of the crowd, and I didn't see her in any of them. Strange.

I feel as if sometimes the costume dept. is truly thoughtless toward women, and sometimes they seem to be intentionally cruel (Kate Gosselin, not that I was complaining at the time lol). The level of tacky that the stars endure is real.

What I was thinking as I watched Nancy was that her body shape was very similar to mine. And that more dancing would probably really help those proportions. I think the deck is stacked against older contestants who don't have the ideal dancing shape. A better costume would be great! What I really liked about her was her all-in attitude. She won me over. And I hope she stays longer than a few weeks.

I always felt like the costume department was trolling Kate Gosselin. I'm sure she was horrid to everyone on that show and not just her partner, so I applauded them for putting her in such hideous outfits. Her hair and makeup was also next-level bad. Tony deserved sainthood for putting up with her. Nancy's legs looked quite slim. She would have been much better in a shift dress that showed some leg and hid her midsection a bit, maybe with some fringe or something. IIRC, the pros are the ones who determine most, if not all of the costume decisions. Someone needs to take Val aside and school him. He can't dress his 50-something partner the same way he'd dress his fiance with the 5% body fat!

I love her, but she wasn't anywhere near that camera

I wish Camryn would get another series. I loved her on The Practice. It doesn't seem like all that long ago that she had Milo, but obviously, it has been. He's practically a grown man.....and here I am, still 28
ETA: Okay, I went back and watched and they did not get Camryn on camera, which means that they (camera operator, director, whoever is in charge of getting the family reaction shots) don't actually know who she is. UGH.

If they wanted to keep her top covered, then show at least a little leg. And if they wanted to keep the bottom covered, then show a little skin on the top half. But don’t wrap her like a sausage, covering every inch of her skin except for her face. I hope she gets to stay at least a couple of weeks. I’d like her to get a chance to have the costume dept get their act together and give her a more flattering look out there.

She looked much heavier in that costume than in her street or workout clothes. I even wondered if part of the costume was going to come off because I thought it added weight to her.

I bet she looks better tonight..she has a lovely face, we need to see more of her body.. I saw a quick poll, and Joe and Bobby were at the top..I bet grumpy Len would have a fit..LOL

I thought Joe did a great job for someone who had never danced before. I didn't think he deserved to be four points below the next person. What he did was a lot harder than John Schneider's dance.

Joe was not particularly good, but he was not that bad. I have seen people critiqued and scored the same over the years who were considerably worse. I think the entire group was pretty good, and they needed someone to be on the lower end with some really low scores. Joe got it. Unfortunately, as we are going to see, he probably wasn't the one to select if that was the idea. For a quickstep - difficult first dance - a couple of 6s and a 5 from Len, the real stickler might have been more suitable.

Considering that Joe had no dance experience I thought he showed that he had learned a lot I'm a short time. I wouldn't be surprised to see him improve quite a bit if he doesn't let the judges comments her him down.

I'd like to know who selects the dances for the couples. Jenna could have made the quickstep a little easier for Joe but for someone who has absolutely no dance experience he started it off pretty good.
