It would shock her!! I just don't think it's fair that she win with her dancing background in hip hop and they've incorporated all of these contemporary, jazzy dances in this season that it is easy for someone with contemporary (hip hop) dancing background to have mastered many of these skills already. Just my opinion....send her home. Make it fair to the true competitors.
Agreed.

That dance got to me so much. Its amazing how much a child can impact them.

I have really enjoyed watching Andy Dick on DWTS. I agree about Zendaya. Something about her irks me. Having Stevie Wonder on the show last night was very nice. Out of the group dances, I liked Kellie's group the best. They had fun with it and did wonderful!

I had to laugh last night when (during rehersals) Mark was instructing Aly to make his bizarre facial expressions and be goofy with their dance. They got out there, and - sure enough - there was Aly doing Mark faces.

They are going to have to create some sympathy for Zendaya. She's just too good and Val is getting arrogant about it. I wouldn't be surprised if she came in low on the viewer votes tomorrow.

Some stars like Chelsea Kane and Kyle Massey, for example, are Disney plants, but others really try very hard to learn. I think some stars have not realized the work or effort involved and want to quit rather than try, but some stars really have been amazing to watch as they put their all into learning to dance. Ralph Maccio (sp?) is one that truly impressed me. There have been many more like him who are dedicated to learning, and those are the ones I believe deserve to advance and possibly win. Unfortunately, it's also a popularity contest, and some who should have advanced, didn't, because their fan base wasn't as strong as some others who weren't as dedicated.

Zendaya is a beautiful girl, and a wonderfully agile dancer, but, to me she's a ringer as she's had a lot of dance experience as opposed to an Andy Dick or a Sean Lowe. The Kellie Picklers, Ty Murray's, and others who really try hard are the ones that impress me the most.

My favorites this year? Kellie, Jacoby, and Ally. I would love to see Andy or Victor suddenly get it and shine, but I don't think they will. Zendaya's attitude is starting to get to me, and as a ringer, I'd really like to see her go home, but I doubt that will happen.
Right on point!!! Agreed! Zendaya is beautiful.....I have nothing against her....just don't think it's fair how experienced in the realm of dancing she is. (although her light air of arrogance could tone down a bit....because she always seems to act like she is the best and better than everyone else there). It is my understanding that her hip hop dancing experience in the past was pretty vast. She may not have worn heels before....but that's not needed to know rhythm, dance moves, tricks, and tips that are universal across any dance genre.

I'm also hoping that Victor or Ally goes home tonight. Ally just seems so boring to me....nothing spectacular and I barely remember who she is half the time. She brings no excitement to the show at all. Victor had a beautiful song last night to dance to and to me, there was no a lot of excitement or "BANG" to his dancing at all.

Sean tried very hard....but seems to dance like a robot, very stiff and just going throught the motions at times. The only thing that got him high votes last night was not having his shirt on during his Samba. And boy did that purple outfit really make him stand out like a piece of eye candy. However, he does need to start putting more emotion and "bang" into his dances.....less robot-like.

Ingo is alright....nothing spectacular just like Ally.

So my bottom three choices for tonight.......Ally, Victor, and Zendaya (Sorry guys.....just want to see her in the bottom three in jeopardy for once)

I agree with pretty much everything you posted. I'd really like to see Zendaya go home but I dont think that will happen. I do hope, however, that if the final two are Zendaya and Kellie, Kellie will win.

I go back and forth about Jacoby. Sometimes he dances wonderfully and I'm rooting for him despite his social awkwardness. But, other times (like last night), his dancing doesnt make up for his attitude and I wouldnt be sad to see him go home.

I think Zendaya has a bright future in the world of entertainment. Sher's attractive, multi-talented, mature and apparently has a good head on her shoulders. But she's a ringer on DWTS -- and, since Disney owns ABC, I'm very put-off by what appears to be an attempted setup for her to win.

I like Kellie and always have, ever since her American Idol days. She's so refreshingly honest and doesnt put on airs of any kind. I've been a little put-off by the fact that she was such a good dancer right out of the gate -- but, out of all the stars, she's my favorite to win.

Of course, if the waters parted and Andy ended up in the final three, he'd be my choice to take the mirrorball trophy.

She sometimes looks awkward with her movements because she is so long limbed.

The Walt Disney Company owns ABC so maybe we'll see more Disney stars on DWTS.

I have noticed Len is in such a good mood this season.....marriage must agree with him!
Marriage & the fact the England version hasn't started yet. Flying back & forth weekly would make me grumpy with the time change.

LOL, good call! Pickler is like a happy, perky, pixy. She'd be good cast as Peter Pan in a Broadway Musical. I want her to win.

Whoever said Jacoby's attitude stinks and is taking away from his dancing abilities we agree 100%. Almost to the point with me I don't even care if I watch him dance anymore.

I didn't get to watch the whole show last night so I'm trying to catch up. I don't want Zendaya to go home, I'm the only one that likes her, I guess. She is 16, not much life experience, and I don't buy all the "dance experience" either. She has very long limbs, which makes her appear awkward at times but I credit her for doing something totally out of character.

I get very tired of Derek and his clowning, trying to steal the spotlight, grow up Derek. I like Kellie and I feel like they are setting up a Zendaya/Kellie finale, and not sure who the 3rd person will be.

Jacoby Jones and all the facial expressions, faces he makes bug me, too. I guess because I've watched all seasons, I'm getting tired of certain things. It is almost like they tell them to exaggerate certain personality traits. Show seems more phony the last 3 or 4 seasons.

I'm unhappy tonight, I definitely wanted someone else to go home, bummer.

That was me -- and he was even worse tonight.
