Mark Ballas

I voted for her.

Also for me, it's Mark Ballas or nothing.

Like if you are going to go on Dancing with the Stars, like if I was going to go on Dancing with the Stars, it would be Mark Ballas or nothing.

I'm not going on.

I think I've said too much and I don't want to, but it would be Mark Ballas or nothing.

Tatiana, one of my favorites.

I love that song.

Yes.

Dance number two, Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas.

In their video, we see that Maura says this is the hardest thing she has ever done and she can't believe she's made it this far.

On the Disney front, a lot of people call Maura Tink because she says tank instead of think.

And because there will be seven teams, one team is immune and doesn't have to participate in that last season.

I think that was Whitney and Mark, which obviously, I don't know, it didn't work out for them in the long term.

But, you know, it's it's nice to, I guess, get a break and only have to focus on one dance for the week.

And that ends up going to Harry and Jenna.

Like the fabric that was like, she goes under Pasha's legs at one point and the cape is just like on her head.

I'm like, oop,

gotta get out of there can't see yeah and there's a few I think people that were screwed by by the outfits Mark especially okay but yeah either way I think that what the problem with modern dancing with the stars is that the dance and the music just don't go together anymore.

And we just have to vibe out to that.

Whatever adversity we face, I'm ready for it all.

Jenna Dewan and Val Smirkovsky will quick-step to Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast, and Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas will do the jive to I Can Fly, I Can Fly, I Can Fly from Peter Pan.

And the team dances will have music from High School Musical and Zootopia 2.

You'll see the show at 8 o'clock right here on ABC7, my post-show report on the news at 11 o'clock.

Boy, what a nice thing that is, I would think.

Up second for the evening, Mara and Mark doing a jive to a song from the movie Peter Pan.

And in the video package for Mara, She was talking about how overwhelmed she is with these two dances.

And I don't think she's...

And my guess is with the team stacked like it was, Team Wildcat, they're not going to be getting 8s.

So Team Wildcat comes out and does their dances, and it was all positive from the judges, and it was a perfect score of 40.

So everybody on Team Wildcat is going to get, 40 more points and everybody on team Slaytopia will get 36 more points added on to their first score tonight and when they did that the numbers or final numbers for the evening Harry had 80 along with Jenna two perfect numbers there Ezra at 77 Connor at 72 Amber at 70 Julia at 69 and Tatiana at 69 and then Maura at 68 I believe this is probably the first time Maura's been at the ended the leaderboard and uh i think i mentioned that earlier i think she's got to be a little concerned now and especially when your bottom four there of amber julia tatiana and mara are only separated by two points on the judges scorecard this is really going to come down to the fan vote here they start saving everybody and they get down to and not necessarily the bottom two it was Mara and Mark and Julia and Ezra.

And even though they said not necessarily the bottom two, if it really was, then there's the example of Mara could be in trouble if they don't really step it up next week.

I guess I thought maybe she had more support publicly and maybe, you know, at the end of the day, that's what saved her.

Because I do think, I mean, people love Mark Ballas and want to keep him on the show.

I do think people really like Maura more than they like julia and her partner and so maybe it actually was the fans that kept mora considering her score was lower than julia's but thank frick that mora was safe it was a close call she really needs to step it up and it was julia's time and honestly i felt while i was very stressed and i couldn't breathe during those last few minutes of the show i feel like sending julia home was the right decision it was her time Those are my thoughts for this week.

It's getting down to the wire, but I am going to continue to cover for the next few weeks.
