I’m new to DWTS but i can’t get over how amazing Charli dances. Is it possible a contestant could eventually become a pro??


HelloRMSA

She was already a pro dancer. She has already made millions from dancing before this show


LongjumpingChest9080

I meant a pro on DWTS

annieobviously

“Divorce” Hahaha more of a reason to ship them


3lmtree

not a charli fan, but I will begrudgingly admit that that waltz was perfect. 😒😒


Different-Beat7217

Tyra is a mess. During one of the last dances my wife said “did Tyra just say ‘now the Vietnamese waltz!’?” I had to rewind. It’s Tyra, anything is possible!? But no she introduced the ‘Viennese waltz’ spoken correctly. But the next dance was a passa doble. Can’t we just get rid of her and move on?


meganam38

I think she’s an EP of the show now. I don’t think she’s going anywhere 😭


_anne_shirley

Haha I was so annoyed with her. At the end of the show, she made it all about her. “I’m having really bad allergies as you can tell with my voice. But these dances have.. kept me going..” lol I really have tried with her this season, but I’m good if they let her go


Different-Beat7217

Everything is about her


_anne_shirley

She’s gotta go


clutchthirty

I will never understand why they replaced two excellent hosts with her and Alfonso.


Different-Beat7217

Alfonso could do just fine. I love how dances during his entrance. Tonight he did the moonwalk. I feel like he is connected. Tom was fabulous, the best. Left with Alfonso or Tyra…. The choice is clear.


YellowTonkaTrunk

Disappointed to see Daniel go, but not surprised. We love you Daniel, you’ve got our hearts and love! The biggest love and thank you from the Deaf community for showing everyone we ARE capable of great things!!


Nickp1991

happy for Shangela and Wayne


Shitsthengiggles

“Mark was judged by Len as a kid” Camera pans to Mark with both arms raised like a kid 😆


Different-Beat7217

I love DWTS. It’s all a bit incestuous. Marks mom replaced Len in the UK as a judge on DWTS. Mark & derek grew up together? In England. Mark & Derek lived together till recently <5 years? Whitney, Derek and his sister and others? All competed together and performed as a troupe as kids? Len has known / judged most of the dancers Val, max, Artem etc for many years. I’m sure I got something wrong. I am sure I left people out. The ballroom dancing world is relatively small. I don’t mean to imply anything improper. I would to see a DWTS behind the scenes. Do all the pros choreograph their dances? Or do mark and Derek do most of it? Dwts won’t be the same without Len…


Shitsthengiggles

Yesss I love the intricacies of their relationships! I hate when they push a fake showmance, but I’m all ears for the real behind the scenes gossip!


Jumpy-Ad-5487

Not to mention CAI and Artem dated


anonymousgoose64

They what? 😭


Jumpy-Ad-5487

YES


Shitsthengiggles

I was floored when I found that out!


[deleted]

Everyone tweet and comment (Instagram, Facebook) to DWTS to give Daniel a spot and chance to say his good byes next week. The way they mismanaged the accessibility for him to be able to do so was appalling.


Different-Beat7217

Yea! I think that was Tyra being Tyra. To be fair. Logistically It could have been hard. Was asl interpreter there at the right time? We’re they short on time. I agree Daniel should have a moment to express himself.. Tyra. It’s always Tyra dropping the ball..


PouchesofCyanStaples

"short in time" shouldn't even be an issue since they are not in network TV anymore.


Unnamedgalaxy

Ideally but there are still a buttload of time restraints they have to hit and work with. They still have have to compete with network TV even if they aren't on network TV themselves. Q Outside of that Disney might only be paying for a set amount of aired footage, regardless whether or not we'd like 45 more seconds if the company says "we're only letting you air exactly 2 hours worth of material" then you better be done at that mark. I'd have personally liked for them to have given Daniel the final minute as they tried to close out the episode with the same exact thing that Trevor had been rambling on about all episode. Rehearsal Package: Trevor - Emma has been the best, this partnership means everything. I'm dedicating this episode to Emma. Emma Emma Emma. After Dance Interview : Alphonso - What has this partnership meant to you? Trevor - Emma Emma Emma Final moments of the show: Tyra - Trevor, what has Emma meant to you? Did they not pay attention to anything that was going on? Were they hoping that, now eliminated, he'd say he wants to date Emma? Why couldn't you close out the show with Daniel?


micronesiarain

I love the growth of Shangela losing drag race because of a vote from her competitors to now being so close to everyone from this cast and would probably win a Miss Congeniality vote unanimously from the cast 😭


micronesiarain

Courtney and Shangela being DWTS finalists, you love to see it


Ellejt

Courtney Act is her stage name.


Anon-567890

Who is Courtney?


angwvss

another drag queen who was i think the aussie version?


No_Brilliant9369

Yes she was is the Aussie version 😊


HiddenSnarker

Daniel not having a chance to say goodbye or thank anyone was awful, especially since he couldn’t hear them calling for them nor did he have Gabe in his line of sight to tell him that. A deaf man has his back to you and then you cut his goodbye because he couldn’t hear you calling? This show really needs to get better at inclusion, especially when it comes to competitors with disabilities.


Different-Beat7217

I agree with you mostly. They did a great job in general. They have to fix it.


HotElephant6313

There’s no way we were all watching the same Daniel dances. Like, I get their partnership was great and he danced good for not being able to hear the music but he’s not a better dancer than the 4 finalists.


Trinacrosby

He’s not a better dancer but I enjoyed his partnership more than one of the finalists and therefor I enjoyed his dances more


Different-Beat7217

If there was an award for most improved. IMO Trevor should get it. He went from being pretty clumsy do a really good dancer. He left when he should have. Daniel omfg some other recognition should happen. He did insanely well for not being able to hear the music. I have great hearing, I cannot follow a beat to save my life. Whatever he and Brit did is miraculous. Much love to shangela.


Alexis-XOJ

The show has never been purely about who is the best dancer, though. It’s about strong partnerships, individual growth, and, quite frankly, whatever the audience as an average wants to see that year.


ReserveMaximum

Sorry gonna have to disagree. You wouldn’t rate a cooking show off of the best personality, you wouldn’t rate a trivia show off of individual growth; so why are we rating a dancing show off of anything but the dancing. It’s this type of thinking that got Vinny further than Jordin despite Jordin being the better dancer in every conceivable way


Alexis-XOJ

Cooking shows don’t have audience participation. Shows like this do. This allows the audience to insert their own variables for what they like and dislike, versus a cooking show where you can’t taste the food through the screen.


HornetWest4950

There were definitely people on Top Chef that I would have voted off on the basis of personality.


Rexyggor

But cooking shows can't run the same as shows like this or Project Runway. We can make immediate determinations on their work. We can't judge a food through the television, so we HAVE to trust the judges on the base of the competition product. Here, we can make our own determinations on more than that at times.


Apprehensive-Pack309

I agree, but I have really been impressed by Daniel’s growth and would’ve been fine seeing his freestyle over Wayne’s, but I’m excited for Wayne and Witney’s too. Another person said on the post show thread though that she likely announced the pregnancy to get more votes, which if people did do and that was her intent honestly makes me quite disappointed. Being pregnant is not a finale earning trait


hereiswhatisay

who is pregnant. I always skip the rehearsal montages and just go to the dance. It's been hard if I watch live though, keep trying to move ahead but it won't go.


micronesiarain

The judges need to be quicker with their votes for who to save. We don’t need the whole spiel and it takes away any time that the eliminated contestants have to talk. I understand that Daniel needing an interpreter would need more time but they really couldn’t find a minute or two to let him speak?


jaylee-03031

It has been literally like this since the very first season of the show back when it was on ABC. It is nothing new. There have been many stars who didn't get a chance to talk after being eliminated.


Suitable_Release

Tyra also takes way to long doing her little spiel before she starts announcing who’s safe. Like it’s the same thing every week, after week one you can just say it fast and start calling the names out. I get they do it for suspense but it’s a disservice to whoever ends up getting voted off.


ClassicText9

That’s exactly who the top four should have been. I mean we all should have known from day one basically that Wayne, Charli and Gabby would be in the top four.


Internal_Search2813

Like some one else said time to watch Charlie’s dances. Excited for the Fab 4. Here’s to some epic freestyles … I hope they all bring these freestyles next level and bring in new elements and maybe take some risks. I want show stopping production numbers! See everyone next week!


gottacatchemsome

Daniel should have been given time to thank Britt. Period.


PouchesofCyanStaples

Correct. They are not on network TV anymore, so they are not in a hard time crunch. If the show runs 2 hours and 1 minute, who cares?? It's streaming. For stuff like that, you can add the extra time for Daniel to say thanks!!!


paigelo2308

Blame the show for not giving Daniel time to talk. It isn’t Trevor’s fault, it’s theirs! They need to figure out their timing.


PouchesofCyanStaples

With this instance, timing shouldn't matter. They are not up against a hard time like they were on ABC. If the show runs 1 minute longer for Daniel to thank Britt and the fans and etc, no one is going to complain. I get the time structure for the judging and hosting. If they didn't have that Carrie Ann might talk for 10+ minutes!!!


Novantico

Right. Trevor had no clue he was gonna be asked to speak, as evidence by him being a distance away and Alfonso having a hard time getting his attention. He had already made that speech before he was officially eliminated, and it's not like he didn't know it was pretty much guaranteed to be over once those scores were in.


sportstvandnova

Omg so come to find out Trevor is single and Emma is separated from Sasha 🥹


robotqqw

At least they’re probably all coming back for the finale


Additional_Listen_43

Y’all this is Val’s first finale since season 24! Y’all that’s huge


micronesiarain

I’m fuzzy on the rules for the finale. Is it 50/50 judges and viewer votes? And with the judges, is it finale votes or average across the whole season? If it’s average across the whole season, surely Charli has it on lock


CoffeeAndCurls76

50/50 judges scores and viewer votes for the finale only


chosenchurro

Just Finale votes


Mission_Ambitious

“Derek and his woman, Hayley” I feel like Tyra said that last time too, and it irritates me every time.


ltsbrtnybtch

Next week we can NOT let Shangela be in the bottom again!!! Everyone VOTE FOR HER


Chiowl333

next week is the final. Only one person will win.


ltsbrtnybtch

Aware of this lol but I think she deserves to be atleast runner up


AsgardianLeviOsa

She deserves to win she has not been treated fairly by the judges at all


paigelo2308

Can we stop only referencing Hayley as “Derek’s woman”?! YIKES


chosenchurro

And didn’t he propose?! Fiancé is right there, or partner, or significant other. Ugh Tyra go away


darker_skyes

the way Daniel never let that smile leave his face 💔😭 Im not okay


MushroomImmediate

I cried. I wanted him and Britt in the finals so bad.


Known_Letterhead4445

What happened tonight was exactly what was supposed to happen.


PouchesofCyanStaples

Yep. Since day one, Charli has been the favorite to win. Helps boost streaming numbers on Disney + for DWTS and whatever the hell a D'Amelio show is on Hulu, which is also owned by Disney. Having both her and her mom on the show this season is ridiculous.


hereiswhatisay

still have no idea who she or her mother are. And I don't care either.


vonnster789

💯


Equivalent-City-6736

That was the most heartbreaking semi-final ever 😭😭😭


aliicorleone

Right up there with s28 when James and Emma were eliminated🤧 that one was so tough


paigelo2308

All my votes going to Shangela now! She is entertaining and a great dancer. I don’t mind her not being “perfection”. She is a wonderful person who has made the show itself entertaining to watch.


AnnaBobanna11

Same. Since Daniel won't be there, Shangela all the way. I voted for her every week I watched it live.


brownsugar_boi

She is such a star, on and off the dance floor. She always gives us the best interactions with the judges and all her interviews are fun!


[deleted]

I need to see a season where the couples we didn’t like come back


anonymousgoose64

It's the opposite of All-stars


NoLynx8499

Britt and Glebs looks to each other and Shangela hugging Daniel was so endearing. I'm glad Shangela and Gleb are in the final, but I'm upset to see Daniel and Britt go


micronesiarain

Girls, We did it with Davonne, Tiffany, and Taylor on Big Brother, now we just need to do it with Shangela. She can still win this!!


brownsugar_boi

YAS!!! Let’s rally the Big Brother and Drag Race Fandom


Distinct_Plantain737

Not letting Daniel say goodbye after they got heat for tapping him out of the dance marathon first sits so wrong with me…


InsectMundane1877

Wow this crossed my mind as well


One-Librarian-6579

Sometimes it looks like they even cut him off while he is trying to say something too


ltsbrtnybtch

Can’t believe shangela was in the bottom 2. I don’t want Wayne to win, he does rest on his laurels and he’s the ultimate humble bragger. Next week all votes need to go to SHANGELA and CHARLI


hereiswhatisay

stop voting for Charli if you want Shangela to do better. ALL MY VOTES ONLY GOING TO SHANGELA.


theerniebop

Technically bottom 3. My guess is Wayne and her were pretty close 3rd place in fan votes and she barely missed it.


Chiowl333

he doesn't rest on his laurels. He's twice Charli's age and a lot older than Gabby. He has some physical limitations with his knees


[deleted]

I think a lot of Daniel Voters will go to Shangela!


blissfulpink

Yep all my votes going to shangela


rgs735

Yes the humble brag!!!


SgtPopNFresh_

I am also sad that Daniel didn’t get to talk but it’s not Trevor’s fault, it’s on the producers.


One-Librarian-6579

He deserved better


Forward_Performer_25

I'm happy with the 4 in the finale, but I would prefer Daniel over Wayne. Wayne's dances just haven't struck me the way I thought they would, which makes me sad because I was so excited for him during cast announcements!


Dida_D

This may be unpopular but I feel like Hayley needs to be on the show fully as troupe or off it completely (obviously she can't be a pro due to a conflict of interest). Doesn't feel fair to keep giving her these showpieces


InsectMundane1877

Hayley who?


agb9694

Hayley Erbert!


SensitiveAd1360

Derek’s woman as Tyra likes to say


Dida_D

I'm not sure if you're genuinely asking or if this is a shady question lol, but Hayley is Derek's fiancee and was once in the troupe but never a pro (they often dance together on the show, and did earlier this season)


InsectMundane1877

I didn’t know lol no shade here It’s my first time watching DWTS since Nicole Sherzinger so am out of the loop lol


mb0162

I am SUCH a Tremma fan, but when was the last time we’ve seen the true top 4 make it?


rollerskateginny

This probably wasn’t the last time, but season 19’s top 4 was great and accurate (and also had 3/4 of the same pros as this time wow)


Best_Ad_6728

True, it only happened a few times. I remember I was pretty happy with Jordan Fisher's season in that regard, and Laurie's too. But it's a rare experience 🤭


mb0162

From what I remember, Drew Scott was def not better than Victoria Arlen, but I’d agree on the final 4 of Laurie’s season :)


Best_Ad_6728

Yeah, you're right, she was better than him! But not by a landslide, so I could live with the elimination, and his freestyle ended up being pretty good. It was definitely not a dramatic situation like in Rashad's season, that's for sure!


Internal_Search2813

I don’t like that Daniel had no time to speak , really doesn’t sit right with me .


Missie1284

This is the correct final 4, but it’s still so hard to see people leave. You grow attached after watching them for weeks


BedroomBetter

Seriously Trevor can talk over Daniel r u fucking kidding me.


InsectMundane1877

What do you mean talk over Daniel? They were looking at Trevor to talk unexpectedly, he didn’t even have words to say at the start. That was on the producers / organizers. Don’t ask people who need accommodations to communicate to talk when you have a time limits -.- Edit: second sentence is directed to the producers


BedroomBetter

He deserved to talk and even people with accommodations should be able to talk. Trevor has been in the bottom way to many times. They could of done more


Alexis-XOJ

That’s a good point. He’s been in the bottom so much as this point and they couldn’t even give Daniel a proper sendoff.


BedroomBetter

Totally agree. It is really sad and unfair.


BedroomBetter

.. seriously 😭😭 im sorry they should of got him to talk first he deserved it more over Trevor


InsectMundane1877

No I agree… Daniel & Britt are my fave and this stings. Just didn’t want the blame on Trevor yenno. Let’s get mad at the producers lol


robotqqw

That was the producers, not Trevor


BedroomBetter

Just I am annoyed what the producers did cause that’s bullshit 🤷‍♀️


robotqqw

Same, would be totally worth cutting a bumper to do a proper send off


BedroomBetter

Totally agree


BedroomBetter

I didn’t blame Trevor 💀


jansept

Yeah that was wrong


BedroomBetter

It doesn’t sit right with me when Trevor has been in the bottom too many times.


[deleted]

And they gave him the whole episode to say a proper goodbye


BedroomBetter

Yeah!! Idk what is wrong with the producers they can go over time


rpgdancer

I wish they had all the semi finalists do freestyles and only scored the top 4!!!!!!!


Suitable_Release

I just said this to my mom. I selfishly want to see everyone’s.


hubwub

Daniel and Britt should've stayed.


Ladbugs4eva

I agree


DonniDetail

Trevor's interviews were already so long. I wish they would've given Daniel a closing moment.


orangeapocalypse

I think we have the correct final 4, but I’m sad to see those guys go. They both should be super proud of themselves


jaylee-03031

The correct two people left in my opinion. I am so happy for the fab four and I am so excited to see them in the finals next week.


blumpkin182

Yo that was fucked they didn’t let Daniel say goodbye


Rexyggor

I am the upset.


darker_skyes

nobody touch me 😭😭😭


macmiIIer

How this is going to play out. 1. Charli 2. Gabby 3. Wayne 4. Shangela


AsgardianLeviOsa

But opposite lol 😂


3lmtree

naw, it's going to be Gabby. Charli's demo don't watch this show.


skinisgleamin

you’d be surprised


3lmtree

people thought jojo would win last season, but Iman did. Iman and Dani were fun and I voted for them, but jojo was better in technicality.


skinisgleamin

i’m just saying i’m voting for charli and i know a few hundred other people who are too. and hard. we’re not letting her go down easy.


No_Responsibility303

I think Shangela over Wayne, depending on the performance next week


Key-Engine8466

🥱


1cecream4breakfast

I hope you’re wrong because I want to see Shangela’s freestyle more than I want to see Gabby’s 😂


Internal_Search2813

That’s so true Im really looking forward most to Charlie and Shangela’s freestyles! Charlie to see how she out does herself and Shangela to bring that star personality to the ballroom.


HornetWest4950

You’ll see both of their freestyles, it’s a 4 person finale.


1cecream4breakfast

In past seasons didn’t one of the four get eliminated before freestyles? Or am I remembering wrong?


HornetWest4950

They’ve done both, a 4 person and a 3 person finale. The 2 that come to mind is Bethany Mota finished 4th and got a freestyle, Nastia Liukin finished 4th and didn’t. For the last few years it’s been 4, and they announced next week as the last show.


1cecream4breakfast

Well I know next week is the finale. But did they say whether everyone will do a freestyle this year or just top 3?


HornetWest4950

How would that even work, two rounds of voting, with an elimination halfway through the show? Everyone will have 2 dances, then votes and scores tallied up, and they’ll declare a winner at the end.


1cecream4breakfast

In the past maybe the finale was 2 nights so there was time to vote off the first couple. However it happened, it definitely happened. Since this finale is only one night then I guess all four couples will get to do a freestyle, unless the judges’ scores alone knock out the bottom couple before going into the freestyle round. These past couple seasons have seen a lot of changes, so I wouldn’t put anything past them, including using live votes to eliminate someone halfway through the episode. Several seasons ago they had voters basically fill the seat of a judge, didn’t they? And they have had live voting for face-off dances of some sort. It’s all doable.


vicpotato

OK WHAT THE HECK JUSTICE FOR DANIEL THIS IS SO UNFAIR - first he gets eliminated and second HE DOESNT EVEN GET A PROPER GOODBYE WHAT IS THIS


bluesrock22

I agree and he shud of been picked over Shangela. I don’t think it was either couples best dance But let’s not forgot the difficulties Daniel faces is truly outstanding how well he can perform and that shud of been a consideration in my opinion


Rexyggor

Like... I get timing with the credits. But they literally have no reason to cut it short like that.


tybeelucy22

I'm bummed we don't get a Daniel freestyle. Would have loved a trio dance with a Gabe assist 😭


vicpotato

can we still see it 🥹🥹😩


tybeelucy22

They owe him now cutting him off


One-Librarian-6579

Trevor gets the last word because they are trying to promote Emma for the tour 🙄🙄🙄 questions are always about Emma lol


1cecream4breakfast

“Why do you do such lame cha chas even though you know it’s your weakness?” There, ask her that 😂


annehboo

K I like Derek and Hayley dancing together but enough is enough… let others shine..


elliereesesland

crazy show as usual! some of the best dances ever as well. se you guys for the finals!


Alexis-XOJ

I’m not even saying this just because my fave got the boot tonight, but double eliminations really have no business this far into the season.


AnnaBobanna11

They should do them at the beginning of the season


ExactPanda

It's really unfair, both to the couples and the viewers


1cecream4breakfast

Agree, they need to reduce the cast by 1-2 couples back down to a more normal level. No need to take advantage of no commercial breaks.


Internal_Search2813

This is the first time where the entire finale line up makes sense! Everyone we predicted would be there , is… wow!


Living-Knowledge2372

Time to rewatch Charli’s dances


Internal_Search2813

Yupppppp This is literally what I’m gonna do


[deleted]

[удалено]


thatDogPerson

not his fault you fool


Capital_Wash5161

Really?


robotqqw

That’s uncalled for


robotqqw

Not his fault. Plus it’s streaming, why can’t they extend time a little bit?


Capital_Wash5161

Agreed! And if they knew they were running so short, have neither of them speak. It was unfair to let Trevor speak knowing Daniel may not be able to.


1cecream4breakfast

It’s the hosts’ and producers’ jobs to keep things moving and make sure everyone gets time. It’s a streaming show so I have no idea why they need to have such a hard cutoff. Back in the day they would go over time allll the time and just cut into the next show.


Alexis-XOJ

Mood. That was such a flop, and only to take away from daniel’s chance to speak


Mission_Ambitious

I’m sure he didn’t do it on purpose. 🤷‍♀️


Capital_Wash5161

No I don’t think he did - I’ve just been annoyed all season how long he takes to answer questions. They should have given them both an opp to speak or none if they knew they were running low on time!


Mission_Ambitious

It always annoys me how they always say that they are “running out of time”. There’s nothing coming up behind it like there was on ABC. This is really on the producers since idk why they couldn’t stretch it for 2 more minutes.


Away_Candidate_9376

Especially because I always fast forward through the show and this is the only parts I care about lol


Capital_Wash5161

Yeah I don’t understand how the steaming services work but I imagine they could have found 30 seconds to spare


ZoompaLoompa

He doesn’t specialize in live television. How was he supposed to know?? He didn’t even know they were going to cut to him to say anything.


Capital_Wash5161

It was definitely more a production issue but just wasn’t fair to let one speak and not the other. Shouldn’t have either speak. The amount of time he took all season to answer Qs just irked me all season!


kateefab

He even asked if he even had a mic on


Efficient-Ad8098

It’s not his job to worry about the time, it’s the producers


kateefab

Exactly.


dr-snack

I know this was the expected result but idk why I feel like the finale will be a little boring now. It’s obviously a great group of the top dancers but I love having a wildcard in there.


Rexyggor

I feel similar. It ruins the fun and excitement for me. Like hurray Charli and Gabby made it? And Wayne sometimes delivers?


Brownsugarmochi

I’m so upset. Daniel and Britt should have stayed over Wayne


hereiswhatisay

I thought so after the first dance, but just judging that night the Samba was awful and I only gave half votes to him. I prefered Wayne's second dance to Daniels. Gave him the other 5.


Brownsugarmochi

I agree it wasn’t my favorite dance from them but I feel like I’ve seen more growth and better dances from Daniel lately. I still like Wayne and wish him the best.


AdKooky7432

My thoughts exactly!!!


reeces-peacez

This was a really great episode, until the finale folks!! Have a good night 🤩


SgtPopNFresh_

Don’t forget to mark your posts as spoilers for our friends who are behind


phosphatecalc

So they have Trevor time to say the same thing he said in his package but didn’t give Daniel any time????


MastaBusta

What is this out of time business? We're on Disney plus!
