Hello everyone and welcome or welcome back to my blog! In today’s post I’m going to be doing a recap of the semi-finals on dwts! Let’s get into the recap!

Opening Number
* I just wanna apologize in advance for the girlie I’m gonna be tonight lmaooooooo

* Not them ruining savage

Special Performance

* This was a really nice dance and the choreography was good too 🙂

Note: I won’t be touching on the packages in most performances bc I probably won’t be able to find them online 🙂

Redemption Dances

Cody and Cheryl
* Salsa
* Mentor: Bruno
* Omg my vpn data ran out what am I gonna do
* But I’m restarting my computer so hopefully that works
* Omg they’re ruining Danza Kuduro
* I’m gonna have a heart attack if my votes don’t save
* It’s cute but it feels really slow :/
* I’m so sad that I can’t find a vpn I really wanna cry right now
* 35/40

Melora and Artem
* Rumba
* Mentored by Len
* She looks great but I don’t really like the floral costume
* They did so good!
* I liked the choreography 🙂
* But I think I saw the lift Carrie Ann was talking about although it was hard to tell if her foot really came off
* The 8 from Carrie Ann is whack tho
* 36/40

Suni and Sasha
* Foxtrot
* She looks so pretty
* I love her dress so much omg
* Choreography is very basic but not that bad lmaoooo
* I’m glad to see her using her face more 🙂
* She danced that very well 🙂
* 37/40

JoJo and Jenna
* Argentine Tango
* I’m surprised that they went so sexy I guess would be the right word for the costumes since JoJo is only 18 lol
* I like the bit on the chair at the beginning
* That straddle leap/lift tho……….
* Very precise
* Very well deserved perfect score!
* 40/40

Iman and Daniella
* Tango
* Danis stunning omg
* He looks kinda hunched over which is understandable considering the major height difference lol
* It feels more like an Argentine tango
* Not my fav but it was still pretty good

New Dances

Melora and Artem
* Contemporary
* All of the ladies are doing contemporary lol
* But she always gets guests lol 😵‍💫
* But that’s so cute 🥺
* The song did not do the dance any favors
* Also Artem’s choreography did not go with the song and I didn’t really care for it
* With a song like this you need hard hitting choreography but I saw none of that :/
* She danced really well tho
* 36/40
* I thought it would be all 10s from the way the judges were talking lol

Cody and Cheryl
* Argentine Tango
* Jeez I’m gonna have to watch almost all of the dances later 😭
* That beginning pose tho
* I don’t like Cheryl’s hair in this dance lol
* This seems really slow but maybe that’s just me
* The choreography is cute but it’s not my fav dance
* 36/40

Suni and Sasha
* Contemporary
* Eye have a feeling I’m gonna cry at this dance like I’m ready to sob at Amanda’s dance
* We love you Suni 🙂
* Her dress looks like our show choir’s dress from 2019 lol
* It’s such a pretty dress tho
* She did so well omg
* Her best dance yet 🥺
* She would’ve snapped with Alan or Artem but I wouldn’t want Amanda with anyone else 😭
* 39/40

Jojo and Jenna
* Contemporary
* Let me take a break from voting and watch her
* My tissues are ready
* Omg JoJo I’m so sorry sweet girl

* Her other grandmother passed and I cried when that was on dance moms
* I’m crying omg
* They look so good
* PLEASE THAT WAS INCREDIBLE
* Carrie Ann’s prolly crying tew
* Me tew Derek
* Wait really Derek….. I’d have to think about that but it was so freaking good
* I can’t wait to cry at Amanda’s dance
* 40/40
* As they deserve

Iman and Dani
* Jazz
* I wanna make more voting accounts but I’m so nervous idk if I can
* That seemed really short
* There are too many lifts for me
* That one bit was out of sync
* Dani is an amazing choreographer but I hate how the jazz and contemporary were all lifts :/
* 38/40
* My sister is nawt happy about the scores

Amanda and Alan
* Contemporary
* I’m so scared but I can’t wait to sob so hard

Elimination Waiting Time:
* I’m gonna have a freaking heart attack
* I’m shaking so bad
* I’m gonna pee my pants and throw up
* Screaming crying throwing up
* My heart is racing
* Yay!
* Knew it
* I’m so scared
* I knew it
* Screaming crying throwing up

Bottom 3: Amanda, Suni, and Melora
* No I’m gonna jump off of a bridge
* Frick the producers for making Amanda go last
* These girlies don’t deserve to be in the bottom tho 🙁

First Eliminated Couple: Melora and Artem
* I figured they would go but she should be there over Iman and Cody

Bottom 2: Amanda and Suni
* I’m shaking so bad I’m gonna throw up
* Please save Amanda or else I’m not watching this show anymore (I like Suni Amanda is the better dancer tho)
* Carrie Ann: Amanda
* Len: Amanda by default but he would’ve saved Amanda too
* Derek: Amanda
* Bruno: Amanda

Second Eliminated Couple: Suni and Sasha
* THANK GOD THAT AMANDA AND ALAN ARE SAVED AND INTO THE FINALS

Overall Thoughts
* I was too busy voting to watch omg now I’ve gotta watch all of the dances 😭
* Amanda and Alan didn’t deserve to be in the bottom and I’m so mad
* Also the judges were all over the place lol. Like they endlessly praise Melora and Artem yet only gave them 9s and CAI only gave them an 8 which was whack
* Iman and Cody don’t deserve to be in the finals dance wise. Like they both do so well energy wise and they have big fan bases but I don’t think in a perfect world they should be in the finals. But that’s just me. And it’s not like I dislike both of them, I like them, it’s just yeah. But I’d still be pretty happy if either of them won (we’re manifesting an Amanda win tho)
* All I want is an amandalan and jnation top 2 please and thank you
* Oh and Derek has covid 🙁 so I’m not sure if he will virtually judge and what’s happening with the other judges. They are/were in quarantine (according to Carrie Ann) so idk what will happen Monday
* Vote for Amanda and Alan Monday
