It's quite how in some way most of the dancers are connected like with Derek, Mark and Julianne and then some of the kids who were about to perform who had been trained by Mark are now on DWTS (Witney and Lindsay)
Back in 1999 when Julianne was 10 and Derek was 13, their parents Divorced and they sent them off to London to live with Corky & Shirley Ballas and train alongside their son Mark. so they definitely got that Brother/Sister Bond !!!
Kinda love Mark's comment about how Derek, Julianne and himself would sweep the competions and leave with all the trophies when they where kids. :) Especially when you look at the DWTS stats: out of 12 seasons the Ballas/Hough - trio have taken home 7 trophies. Julianne won seasons 4 and 5, Mark 6 and 8 and Derek 7, 10 and 11. But I doubt that the other dancers hate them :)
And now out of the 13 seasons that at least one of them has been on they have got to the Final 14 times, have 8 MBT's (Seasons 4,5,6,7,8,10,11 and 16), 2 second places (Seasons 14 and 15), 3 thirds (Seasons 11,12 and 13) and a fourth (Season 16)!! And only twice out of the 13 seasons has more than one of them got to the final, Derek and Mark in both season 11 and 16 (with Derek winning both) and Season 9 was the only time not one of them made the final!!
Catherine Coyle You forgot season 5. Mark was eliminated week 6 and Derek was eliminated in the semi-finals if I remember correctly. Unless you're counting the semi-finals...
Yes, but Catherine is still right. Julianne Hough is a part o 2B1G, and she won season 5 with Helio. Catherine did a great review of their path, except they have another. Derek won season 17 too!! So one more for the Ballas bratpack! :)
now i kind of want to see the performance of the young dancers...does anyone know which season this was in and/ or where i could find the video? Thanks!
I gues to people on the outside lookinh in the world of ballroom dancing looks very galmorous but when your involved in ballroom dancing it's really vicious & brutal
and this is why their paid the big bucks.........and PEOPLE SHOULD SHUT UP AND STOP BOOING the judges because THEIR DOING THEIR JOBS...NOTHING MORE....their not there to make friends or anything else!......OK Bruno like to get wild but he's also a pro!
