So was Elton John :teresa:

 

 

:lol:

She was absolutely amazing! :yahoo:

 

 

Completely agree!

 

I'm also completely convinced that the judges (one of them in particular at least) are scoring her a bit lower than some of the other frontrunners to build a story arc. Calling it now: Melanie C will make the finale. It will be one of those "peaking at the right time" storylines.

I do not understand these votes, he is among the best dancers, we really hope it is to build a path and then explode later maybe in a final

 

That was a great dance! She really threw herself into that with gusto.

 

I've been enjoying her social media updates recently too!

 

Wow wow wow wow 🤩 Definitely her best dance so far! And deserved scores of 9/8/9/9! Melanie C has truly arrived now…

Finally higher well deserved scores !!

That was beautiful :wub:

 

I like the drama of the 2nd dance.

yes :cheer: finally decent score!! 10 votes given B-)

I know many people don’t like that. But I think Melanie should do more theatre. Solo and Spice Girls won’t be affected by it.

She’s done so many different things, like DJing, theatre, solo music (dance, pop, rock, showtunes), sports events and TV shows. So proud of her.

She’s certainly an all-rounder :wub:

Mel continues to be fab, but the competition is getting tooough. I think Mel landed in, like, 7th place this week based on the judges' scores. I thought her Mary Poppins routine, in particular, was undervalued. But then, I'm also aware of how hard she's pushing herself.

 

Beats me how she's faring with the votes. "Sporty Spice" is a far more known name in the US than, say, Peloton trainer Cody Rigsby. But the DWTS voting audience may very well be the types to be fans of Rigsby or an influencer like Olivia Jade.

 

I continue to think this is Jojo Siwa's to lose, but Melora Hardin has emerged as the judges' favorite. She's definitely very good...though I'm not sure I follow why she gets better scores than several of the others. But. Hey. The judges are professionals. Not me. But beyond the judges' support, Melora has something else going for her. She was on The Office...which was a popular show in its original run...but today? The show has risen to obsession-level in the US. So. She's likely got both the judges and the public on her side. One to watch out for.

Melanie & Gleb will be dancing the Quickstep to 'You're the One That I Want' in next week's Grease Night episode. :king:

 

(GOD, can the band play this any slower?)

 

A solid dance but after Matt and Brian got eliminated last week "solid" isn't gonna cut it.

***SPOILER FOR LAST NIGHT'S SHOW***

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well. This was actually my worst case scenario. Mel got voted off last night in a 2-2 split vote from the judges. Len's vote counts the most at the table. The person he decided to save was...*sigh*...Olivia Jade.

 

For anyone not familiar, Olivia Jade is primarily known in the US for her family faking Olivia's involvement in competitive rowing for college admission. Her parents were accused of also bribing a coach at the college with $500,000. Parents got arrested. It was part of this college emissions scandal. Before the arrests, she posted some videos where she talks about how she just wanted to go to college to party and didn't care about school. Was also doing a video on her phone when she crashed a car one time. Yeah. All that. I'm not saying this stuff should mean she can't get employment for the rest of her life...or even define her for forever...but I did think it was morally questionable for DWTS to cast her. It's handing her yet another amazing opportunity...just two years after this college emissions scandal broke.

 

To be fair, Olivia was good on the show. Better than Mel? I'd say they were about neck-and-neck. But it was disappointing to see Mel working so hard...and see someone else nab it away who has a rather unsavory recent history. Twitter is shook about it. Lol. Mel was clearly feeling pretty low last night.

 

Granted, neither of them really deserved to be in the bottom two. I'd say they were both better than about five of the other couples...including three guys who have never landed in the bottom but are the clear weakest at this point.

 

But. Anyway. The most important thing is Mel was excellent every week...was a class act...and came off really well. She deserved to go further. But. Hey. She hasn't done a lot in the US since the 90s...and I guess some of the others just have more enthusiastic current fanbases. Well done, Mel!

It's a TV show, hopefully she enjoyed it and got a nice cheque.

*shrug* She got paid and I doubt she had any plans to launch herself in the US off this appearance so I doubt getting voted off disturbed any plans.

Should have done strictly !

 

On to the tour 😍

I'm sure it will sting for a few days as Mel is very competitive but as Tommie said I doubt any result was ever going to launch a solo career in the US for her so it's not like she has lost anything.
