Although I sometimes grumble about the judges' scoring/decisions and who viewers vote for, I was fine with this week's double elimination. Vinny clearly has a lot of viewer support but his scores have been dead last for the entire season, and Heidi has been ridiculously overscored for most of the season. Neither of them are great dancers and I wouldn't have enjoyed seeing either of them in the finale so as far as I'm concerned if they didn't go home this week, they should have gone home next week before the finale.

I was shocked by how much the judges praised Gabby this week. I thought she looked very sloppy and amateur in her dance, so I was surprised that they gushed about how sexy she was and then gave her 10s.

Although Witney's dancing was fine, she seemed completely checked out during her performance and during the interviews so I guess she's over it. I wonder if that means Wayne will be the requisite ~shocking elimination before the finale.

i like gabby a lot and i personally find her personality a lot of fun but she was noticeably sloppy especially in direct comparison to charli in the relay

I really hope Shangela and Wayne make it to the finale. I'm pretty sure that even if Charli and Gabby just sat down on the floor and did nothing next week, the judges would still put them through. Since the judges love to have a shocking elimination where one of the top contenders is eliminated just before the finale, I think Wayne will get cut which will allow one spot for one of the two remaining non-dancers. Between Trevor and Daniel, the judges have given them pretty similar scores for most of the season so I'm not sure which one the judges would put in the finale. They have both been very positive and eager to learn, so I would be fine with either of them. They have both shown improvement since the beginning of the season, but I think Trevor's performances have come off as slightly more polished (I'm not sure if that's solely due to his dancing or because of Emma's choreography) so he might have a tiny bit of an edge over Daniel since the judges love a celeb who has a journey.

I weirdly enjoy how vinny over some of the other contestants are better dancers. But it was time for him to go.

I am rooting for Daniel or Shangela. They are my favorite. I pretty much only watched the complete package and performances of those two. And I love Brit.

I really enjoyed Charli this week. Gabby felt like she had no engery during the relay. I couldn’t stop laughing when she said she put the P in personality. Girl, where?

Trevor is whatever to me but I did enjoy his first dance because I love that song. But hoping he is one of the ones leaving. I expected to enjoy Wayne more than I have been. But I’m fine with him winning .

Wait, what did he do to his partner? Witney?

He's annoying me, too, but what did he do to our girl Wit???

I think this is the strongest group going into the semi finals the show has had in a long time. I love a journey so I am rooting for Daniel, Trevor, or Shangela to win.

Gabby and Charli have been great dancers all season so their performances have been boring to watch imo.

I went into this season rooting for Wayne but he's not doing it for me. I wouldn't be upset if he won though.
