@@asareirene Simple Val gave both Zendaya and Normani crap freestyles while Derek and Emma gave their partners amazing ones. It was never a complicated thing or some grand conspiracy just came down to them both having Val who sucks at freestyles. Zendaya definitely should have won over Kellie Pickler even with her lackluster freestyle but Rashad unquestionable deserved his win over Normani (but she should have gotten second)
Fan voting really does a lot of damage when it comes to deserved results. Hypothetically speaking, imagine if Harry Styles were to compete on DWTS. Harry might not have the dancing abilities to deserve a win, but we all know he would crush every single contestant he would compete against when it comes to fan voting. No one else would even stand a chance. (I like Harry, I’m just making an example of him.) The finale should solely be decided by the judges in order to be FAIR to the contestants.
That’s why Nelly is still there, but we can’t forget his partner is a Beast and I love seeing her dance! She’ s the best professional there in my opinion!
NOT SKAI AND ALAN😭 from the beginning I was rooting for them, they stuck out since week 1 and I can’t believe they don’t get to dance in the finals. They could’ve easily won the season but no I guess not. Her dancing was incredible tonight and she’s improved tremendously throughout the competition. She’s gained so much confidence and you can see how much more fun she’s having during her dances. I’m literally so upset she’s not in the finals and I don’t even know who to root for anymore.
When skai posted on her IG that she was going to be on Dancing with the stars, I knew I had to watch but they dont show it in my country for like another couple of months. That's the only reason I'm here but since with the outcome of this season, I have no business being here again
this show really doesn’t want disney stars (zendaya, milo, skai) or black women (Normani, simone biles, tinashe) to win. it’s just another popularity contest 🙄 my girl skai and johnny should’ve been in the finals with nev and justina. periodt.
@@khijirchowdhury700 there's just something about her performance that are just meh. She's technically a good dancer, but she's boring. She's like a more talent female Jesse Metcalf. There's just something lacking.
Same I'm with you lol!!! I made a joke two weeks ago at this rate he will be in the finals and I was right. I was soooo pissed to see Johnny, AJ, and Skai go when Nelly should've left forever ago.
@Ashton A they were truly robbed. i guess i wasn’t surprised to see them go home, but like you said they’ve been unfairly placed during the voting. i honestly think they did the best overall... so sad they had to leave :((
Shocked no? the writing has been on the wall. Disappointed? immensely, I had so hoped they would somehow make it but once all the scores were extremely close tonight I knew they were out sadly.
@Daddy O I don’t think there’s any such thing as too gay!! I think he’s prideful and that’s so important for other people who are scared to come out themselves :))
Yep robbery all over again🙄🤦♀️. At this rate him or one of the weaker dancers left will be hoisted up with the mirror ball trophy. Last time I checked it was supposed to be a dance competition so I assumed the best dances would be in the finals.
@@khya9840 I knew it was bs weeks ago when Skai & Johnny kept being in the bottom. Those two plus AJ, and chrishell didn't deserve to be in the bottom ever let alone be eliminated smh.
I’m sorry but Skai has consistently messed up. Nelly should have gone. All those other Disney stars were way better than Skai and didn’t have nearly as many mess ups as Skai had.
We watched a different show I guess. Skai did good tonight but it was her time. I am shocked about Johnny though. I think Artems partner should have gone home.
@Ashton A I’m still watching the show but I literally JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT RN. Skai has literally been improving for 4 weeks now. How the hell did nelly make it? Like my sister was ROOTING for him, but she even believed he should have gone home and skai or Johnny should’ve stayed smh🤦🏾♀️no hate towards him but likeeee
@Ashton A plus his partner is doing most of the work. But congratulations to him tho. (He did look like he was having fun today tho, I’ll give him that )
They were about the same. Skai was a little better at dancing but performance wise, it was almost always atrocious. Nelly wasn’t as good, but man did he deliver a show every week. They were the weakest there. Both deserved to go home.
Judging his time so far on the show, Nelly should've been eliminated weeks ago. We all know popularity, social media and pity votes carry reality contestants in a comp. More times than not, America and those judges usually pick the most deserving winner. I see Nev and Jenna as that winner. At this point they are unstoppable, Side note: Gonna miss Alan and his constant smile.
@@aunyaanderson7208 no problem love. I don't mind explaining it, I have noticed that the order in which she calls the names is the order of scoreboard on that particular night. When I started watching the full episodes on Hulu is when I caught on.
I agree. Because we as an audience don't really know what we're looking at. It's more of a popularity contest. Both really talented couple's when home tonight.
@@Savataric LMAO I hope Nelly WINS next week🏆 I feel like he might end up winning😂👏 because he has such a huge fan base!!! he’s literally NEVER been in the bottom 2!!! Isn’t that crazy😧
@@rodriguezvanessa8583 none of the top three that went automatically through have been in the bottom 2, actually I don’t think Justina had either until tonight.
Nelly doesn't even dance his partner she is doing the most work and he can't even move his hips. Last vid somebody said ski really have to moonwalk on the moon to get a perfect score. I was really going for Justina and ski so to see them being at the chance to be eliminated was crazy.
Bull 💩. Why the hell is Nelly still there?!?!? This show is messed up. I won’t be watching anymore. Johnny and Britt should be there and the judges know it.
This show is ugh i hate it now. First Zendaya, Normani, Ally Brooke. LIKE?! Johnny and Skai have been doing great. Nelly? like ugh. If he don’t get fourth place i’m gonna be pissed. Anyways JUSTINA AND NEV FOR THE WIN! ✨
Love Johnny and Britt no matter what. ❤️ They really touched me this season. Hands down was most upset when they were eliminated, along with when Jeannie and Brandon had to stop. Personally rooting for Justina now in the finals, the one with least experience yet most consistent progress and performance value at the same time. Overall these three were def the most personable, endearing and inspiring to me.
Yup that’s right🤠 it could be Kylie Jenner or Ariana grande in this competition and I’m pretty sure they’d win because everyone would most likely be voting for them because of who they. are.
I think so too. The thing is not a ton of adults who watch the show know who skai is and it sucks . Nelly is known by so many people . I feel so bad for those who aren’t known.
People need to stop saying this and give Nelly the credit he deserves. He improved every week and killed a very difficult dance last night! Kaitlyn should have went home instead of Johnny though. He always did such a beautiful and moving job. Skai’s time was up.
@@colleenmoylan4214 yeah he definitely has improved but lmao it’s obvious that he isn’t at the same level as anyone else. i’m sorry but he definitely should’ve gone home
Wow first zendaya, than milo and now skai. What’s wrong with people And honestly, the guy that won the season milo was on was NOT good! I was like “WTH” when he won.
@@stephanierose1292 true, people only see him and automatically want him to win People need to vote based off performance, not how much they know or like the person
I don't think you have to be a Johnny fan do he dervesed a place in the final not saying he should have won. people didn't vote for Nelly cause they thought ow his an amazing dancer they voted cause his Nelly cause I honestly if you had him and Johnny have a dance of against each other without Daniella and Britt you would see who has the better skills
As a huge Nelly fan of 20 years or so, I have to agree. I give him props for trying and making little improvements here and there, but I am also astounded he made it to the finals, especially in front of 3 couples who ALL consistently out performed him. I'll always love Nelly, but this is nuts.
@@amandaclark1800 I know this sounds toxic but I respect you as a person who is a Nelly fan in Dwts and I’m not hating him as a person just his dancing
@@Savataric I don't think you sound toxic at all 🙂. As a fan, I am glad he got to experience something new. But I also understand this is a dance competition and that it's getting down to the wire, so only the best should be there. He'll always be a hometown hero of sorts for me but I definitely think it was time for him to go. ❤️
You do realized our votes count a whole lot. Nelly has NEVER been in the bottom 2, and there’s a reason for that...it’s because he has a massive fan base.
@@anitaknight3915 who gives a damn if people are only voting for Nelly because of who he is, if your telling me you wouldn’t vote for your ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Celeb, then your bullshitting me🙄
I love how Derek actually took a moment to acknowledge Johnny. Coming in, I knew beforehand that Johnny and Skai were eliminated, but I was shocked to see that he had the lowest total. I thought that would’ve been Skai.
@Ashton A I’m still shocked, but I could see your point. There was never any doubt about his talent. But, considering he had been in the bottom two a couple of times before, I was worried about whether or not his fan base would be strong enough to carry him over the line.
@@IceGirl2772 .... I voted tonight. First time ever, just for that reason. I have been a fan of Johnny’s since he was old enough to stand up to the status quo and but his personality into his skating programs.
1. Nev 2. Justina 3. Jeannie (Ik she left but not intentionally) 4. Johnny All based on dancing abilities but my all time fav was Jeannie (too bad she had to leave 🙁)
Nelly should have been out but the judges made the right call with who was in the bottom three. Justina has never been in the bottom before while both Skai and Johnny have been multiple times each. I’m gonna miss Johnny and Britt a lot, I was really hoping we’d get to see a freestyle from them.
I understand why the judges chose Justina over Skai as justina’s scores were more consistent then skai’s scores throughout the season but both them and Johnny did not deserve to be in the bottom 3, that’s what I think
nelly should not have made it this far at all its about his fan base why are the judges even there they dont have much say so at all its a whole mess they should be able to save at one person
I honestly I'm not going to watch the final now that Johnny is gone, soooo wrong! I'm done with this show every year lately all the great ones go home.
technically not rigged... just a popularity contest. the best dancers unfortunately don't always get the highest votes... people tend to vote on the person they vote for and not their dancing
This may be another season 27 situation where the worst dancer out of the bunch won because of the popular vote. If you were voting for either of the bottom two, I highly recommend now giving those votes to one of the other better dancers in the finale to give them a boost.
I don’t think Nelly is gonna win even though I am voting for him but the finals will be so boring without him and Justina! They bring some excitement to the show! Guys these are not professional dancers just celebrities having fun!! You’ll take it too serious!! I love Tyra as a host look forward to her outfits and even the judges pert up when she comes out!! I agree with people on here I watch for the dances!!
DWTS has been my favorite show my entire life but I don’t care what anybody says Johnny and Brit deserved to go to the finals. They are mirrorball trophy WORTHY. It’s such a shame how these shows rob people of their places that they truly deserve. What I’ve witnessed tonight was so sad. Anybody with eyes could see who deserved to be in the finals but they’d rather keep people on the show who give them good ratings and views. I’m not biased and I do believe in what is right and playing fair. I judge the teams and vote by what they’re supposed to do, DANCE...Not because of who they are. Jenna Johnson has been my favorite pro since season 26 when Adam was her partner. She is a phenomenal and polished dancer and her creativity is beautiful. I love and respect the art of dancing. Enough said...What was done tonight wasn’t right but the best of luck to all the finalists anyway❤️❤️❤️
Agreed, what happened tonight was sad, honestly at this point, I want someone who wins the trophy to actually be someone who deserves to win to trophy.
How is nelly still there he has the votes his scores suck he is the Bobby bones situation all over again Skai and Johnny didn’t deserve to go home tonight nelly did everybody else who made it into the finals deserves to be there except nelly And also In my personal opinion Justina but I’m not getting into her so it feels like what happened to Juan Pablo all over again except Juan Pablo was worse clearly but that’s what I felt tonight with Skai having lost Jeannie since she had to drop out I still had my other main Skai left and nev as my backup now nev is my main and Kaitlyn is my backup. I wouldn’t be surprised if nelly won only because clearly scores don’t really matter like they didn’t with Bobby only the votes did so tonight was rigged
Well Cheryl has been on the receiving end of those supposedly unfair scoring system-lol It just didn't go her way this time. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Cheryl's but it bugs the heck out of me when a pro complains. She should know better.
Skai’s elimination was overdue. Nobody was complaining when she fell or forgot half of the dance. She deserved to go home tonight. Johnny is the one that deserved to be in the final.
@Ashton A no excuses... she deserved to go home tonight along with Nelly. She was the least consistent and most boring to watch. Her and Nelly were at the same level.
@@activelivingchallenger4298 I agree he was something while i feel disappointed for Skai I'm more upset that Johnny didn't get a chance in the final he may not have a won but he would have worked it
I think he was doing better than Chrishell. If you compared their relay dances, Nelly was slightly better and he has improved. But he definitely should have gone before AJ
@@Sarah-mw2hi ya but Chrishell definitely moved more throughout the season. The reason she was stumbling is because she had choreo to dance to unlike Nelly who is a tree for Daniella to dance around.
@Ese Uduehi he isn't a dancer. skai and johnny COMBINED are better than him. i dont care if he improved, he shouldn't be in the finale. no one can change my mind
It’s obvious why Nelly is still on the show. They combine the judges score and THE FANS who vote for him. Although he scores low he has more fans than the other competitors. It’s not rigged that’s just how the system works. So thank Nelly’s fans for keeping him on the show.
He is the most improved. The rest have dance backgrounds. He gets the votes because he’s relatable and is dancing his butt off! Hard work pays off. It’s nice to see genuine people get ahead. I’m only sad that Johnny didn’t make it and Artems partner did.
if I’m being completely honest.. I saw Johnny and Skai going home. Skai hasn’t had very strong dances. She isn’t the strongest. And Johnny doesn’t have the fan base. No one really knows his background. Nelly has a SUPER FAN BASE. DWTS is a popularity competition. If dancing with the stars was an actual dance competition... SKAI and NELLY would be going home. Just being honest.
Like compare to other dancers Skai has done amazing job. I don't know what dances you been watching 😂🤣😂. But I know it your opinion. She could have for sure stayed over Nelly.
@@Quayla1512 if we are comparing her dances to Johnny or Nev.. 😐 her dances weren’t on the same level. Johnny and Skai should still be in the competition. Nelly should be gone. And Justina or Kaitlyn should be out.
@Justin Kelly I totally agree if it was just based on dance talent then Skai would have been eliminated weeks ago, same with Nelly. I'm rooting for Nev because he is consistent and always has amazing dances!
It’s not rigged LMFAO he just has a big fan base, you know, the audience votes is a way to have that engagement with people and also to keep the ratings
@@thagirlbre thank you!!! I like nellys music and the progress he made, but I felt that skai and Johnny didn't need to go home and let nelly stay. Especially skai
He’s the best overall as in dancing plus performance...Kaitlyn dances just as well, but has a problem with performance, plus she has made some minor mistakes in a few performances...I don’t think Nev has the fan base to win as he is not a known celebrity and he comes from very niche environment...I think Kaitlyn and Nelly will end up placing higher than him...one of those , I’ll be absolutely fine with winning...the other would be tragic Bobby Bones situation...
@@totaldramavv well...she’s a better dancer than all of them except Nev...and she would also deserve the mirror ball if she does win...Nelly doesn’t...there are plenty of people that like her...
As much as I wanted Skai Jackson to win, I knew she wasn’t. Not saying she’s a bad dancer but in DWTS us usually there’s a dancer who’s not up to par with the rest (Nelly). Usually someone that deserves to be in the finals doesn’t for some reason! Poor Skai...
I rooted & voted for Skai all throughout this season, but I don’t she think would’ve win that mirror ball. My top pick for the finals would’ve been: Johnny, Nev, Kaitlyn, & Skai or Justina.
I think Nelly is actually the biggest name, on Dancing with the Stars, this season.Honestly I have no clue who some of these supposed stars are. That’s probably why he gets most of the votes because he’s a recognizable house hold name. I’m so done with the Bachelor people winning, or even being on the show.
the younger are voting for him cause he cant dance at all he looks uncomfortable all his dancing they seem to put hip hop in all his moves this is not real dancing at all he shouldnt have been no where near in the finals hes been ready to go home since the begining
@@davidgadson714 absolutely he should've went home in the beginning. Only Charles, Carole, and Anne were worse of a dancer than Nelly lol. This obsession and fans for both Nelly and Justina I don't understand. The best dancers all have been eliminated who deserved to be in the finals outside of Nev left.
she’s been consistent but there has been no improvement, and i say that because skai, on the other hand, has improved in not only technique and execution, but performance all around! you could tell she had gotten much more confident and emotionally expressive in her routines. not to mention her technique, lines, and poise are stunning. she has the grace of a dove, but also the confidence of a tiger when need be.
I’m sorry if some of you disagree but it’s a show. Just let it happen and stop being petty. They all work hard and they all deserve to stay but overall it’s the judges decision as well as the audience. Stop thinking you are the most unbiased person because you aren’t and you can see that from your petty comments
Nelly does not receive consistent high scores like the other contestants. This is very wrong. It is all a big fat popularity contest. For these reasons I think nelly should’ve been packing up. The top four should’ve been Nev, Kaitlyn, Skai, and Justina. Omg thanks for the likes!! :)
My final four would be 1. Nev, he’s doing amazing my opinion he’s the best one, he’s consistent, and he’s just amazing to watch. *He shows so much emotion* 2. Justina, she’s a fireball and she can do ballroom dances. She’s also very consistent she’s great but not amazing *brings fierce* 3. Nelly, y’all gonna hate me for this but nelly improves every week not like no one else improves but no one improves like nelly. He went from stiff to at least moving some, him and his partner are a great dancing couple and they take the stage *he brings enjoyment* 4. Kaitlyn, she’s been doing “ok” she can do really good when she wants to. When she takes the stage she sets it in fire! She isn’t really consistent but she more consistent than skai and Johnny. * takes the stage* Why I don’t think Johnny and skai should’ve made It? Skai, she does good when she wants to but otherwise she looks like a doll/ robot. I love her on Jessie and bunked she was one of my favorite characters but sadly she isn’t in dancing she started off great but then it came downhill and I think she should’ve gone sooner. Johnny, I don’t know how to explain it but Johnny’s dancing and your going to hate me for this as well, his dancing is BORING! Like do some lifts at least it’s like watching a dance of in middle school this is like a competition and there dancing is like what you’d see in a talent show, BASIC. I’m not choosing favorites but I actually agree with this voting. * Reminder this is my opinion so don’t come for me* 😑❤️
Since season 24 all people in the semifinals should have go to the finale: Simone biles , Victoria Arlen, Mirai Nagasu, Juan Pablo, James Van deer break and now skay
Nastia Liukin, Joanna Krupa & Brandy were robbed of the finale too in earlier seasons. Semifinals seems to be bad luck for the ones that do rather well.
If you put Johnny in there over Skai I would agree. Skai messed up two dances for two weeks and the mistakes were not little, so definitely not worthy of being in the finale. The messing up the steps by forgetting them and the big stumble were all mistakes that Skai did on her own.
Nelly did improve tonight, but really shouldn’t have made the finals. Daniella is superb but I think tonight should’ve been the end. I feel for Johnny and Britt. Best of luck to the finalists; Jenna, Artem, Sasha and Daniella are all such top-tier pros as well. I’m getting that gut feeling that Nelly is going to take the trophy this year and pull a Bobby Bones. Favoritism should be set aside at a certain point and votes should really be given to the objectively best dancer left.
@@colleenmoylan4214 then go to sleep. He’s gotten this far on swagger alone, and his blind fans lap it up like water in the dust bowl 😒 lookin at you. And anyone would be remiss to not mention how said swagger is not versatile in any way.
does the quality of your overall performance mean shit if you’re not as popular as another contestant at this point? this season is going to be another bobby bones, calling it right now.
Yup and it's pure BS. Nev and Kaitlyn have bren KILLING it. I wouldn't even be mad if Justina took it, but if Nelly wins, I'm done watching. Tired of it being a popularity content instead of the best DANCER winning 🤦♀️
Considering Justina's smile throughout the entire thing even before the judges said anything, she knew she was safe. Skai knew she was going home you can see how upset she is. Like the judges votes don't matter they're just being told what to say. Skai you'll always be my champion you deserved that trophy ❤
He deserve to be in the final. I felt really bad for him too. You can tell that he was struggling with being on the bottom consistently. It was really wearing him down. He did the best tonight of everyone. My heart is broken for him😢 Kaitlyn should have gone home in his place.
Are yall nelly supporters not ashamed of yourselves???? I wont lie he has improved throughout the season but to have him rob Johnny a spot in the finale is still shocking to me. Nelly was never my cup of tea since the beginning I was always supportive of JUSTINAAA🥳🥳 and skai. But I'm ngl I wouldn't have been as mad that skai got eliminated if nelly had left the time he was supposed to, which was like week 5🙄
They're also going to cost Daniella her job next year. Sharna was fired after winning with Bobby Bones, a low-scoring winner; the same thing will happen to Daniella if Nelly wins over higher-scoring Justina, Kaitlyn and Nev.
Eek. This show is going to continue losing viewers if they can’t figure out a new voting system. This should be about the improvement and overall dance skills/connection with partner. Not a popularity contest 😕
Yeah I’m done watching. After so many years, I only returned to viewing this season because of Skai. She performed better than Nelly and her growth and consistency throughout the season especially at her young age and inexperience is INSPIRING. This show is going to keep losing ratings the way it has if they don’t figure out a new voting system because it’s not even about the actual performances, it’s about who America knows more and likes more. Such a shame.
What exactly do people suggest DWTS does? They revised the system to ensure the Bobby Bones saga doesn't happen again, but viewers have the final say, you people need to understand that. If people are voting for Nelly, it's not DWTS fault nor is it Nelly's fault! You people should vote harder for your faves. There's little else DWTS can do. All these threats of never watching the show again doesn't hold water. Unless you want DWTS to cancel voting altogether, which is impossible
yeah I feel like they should at least change the percentages of scores and votes to like maybe 70% and 30% for a start. or something along those lines. at this point how much the votes matter is absolutely ridiculous.
@@seunajayinigerian1279 “you people” 😂 I’m not sure how they’d fix it, however the have not fixed it enough to have a repeat of Bobby Bones. When Fan votes matter more than the actual dancing abilities and improvement, that’s where they are going to lose a lot of old fans.
here's who I thought would make the finale: Nev Skai Justina Jeannie After Jeannie had to go, here's what I thought: Nev Skai Justina Nelly What the finale is: Nev Justina Kaitlyn Nelly What I would have been fine with(people from semi finals) Nev Skai Justina Jonny/kaitlyn Who I thought would win: Nev or skai Who won: Kaitlyn Seriously skai deserved better! She was so good every week!!
If y’all are fans of Skai or Johnny and are upset that Nelly stayed over them, I highly encourage you to not waste your votes by not voting. Put them towards the others. While Nelly is entertaining to watch, I’m here to watch good dancing, not willy nilly movement. Yes, he’s improved, but a better dancer should have been put in that place. I’m already expecting another season of Bobby Bones popularity win (except Nelly is better than Bobby by a mile). Still confused on how Nelly had the most flexed feet and weak flicks and kicks in his jive and got all 10s but when Nev had weak flicks and kicks and POINTED feet, he got docked a point each. I get that he has higher expectations, but when you compare his dance to the others that received 10s, those ones should’ve been 13s then. Honestly. And y’all Nelly fans can be pressed that I’m being honest as an avid viewer of this show who watches for the DANCES and not the people, I don’t care. Too many great dancers have gone home wrongfully.
that's the problem Nelly's fans overruled the voting Johnny was screwed big time having the smallest fanbase i knew he was going and not have a chance to get be saved I voted for him aswell as liking him and Britt I felt he improved weeks on and a lot even doubted he would get the to semi finals he may not had Nev and Kaitlyn's skills he worked hard to get better and I think that's a big part this show and other shows like improving nelly fans will say Nelly improved but really he may have but not at the same level as Johnny or Skai or Justina I think Daniella made him look great and whipped him into some sort of shape he got lucky with his pro
@@ladybrandy91 Exactly, that’s why I’m saying people shouldn’t throw away their votes now that Skai and Johnny are gone. Of course, Johnny or Skai should still be there, they were the better dancers. And if I’m gonna be unbiased, as much as I was hoping Skai would take it to the top and voted for her every week (along with Nev and Kaitlyn), Johnny was even better, so he definitely deserved to have a spot in the final 4. In the end, I’m watching for the best dancers who apply technique, who apply musicality, who just look professional out there by the end. Everyone has made an improvement since week 1. Nelly looks like he made a massive one because he barely did anything in the beginning and Daniella just pushed and pushed until she got more out of him. But even then, his jive last night just was not 10s worthy, technique wise. They just have those to him out of entertainment and to keep him on the same level as everyone else, and I’m honestly thinking if he wins, not only do the fans votes have to do with it, but the producers were definitely pushing the judges to score a bit higher so he had more of a chance to make it farther. I just feel we’re going to have another season 27, Bobby Bones popularity contest situation. I’m not looking for my favorite to win. I’m looking for THE BEST DANCER to win. Even if it was Johnny. And I frankly didn’t like Johnny all that much. But I definitely gave him votes yesterday to try to give him a boost. So yeah, those who are upset with the results should just put their votes to good use. If we’re gonna lose great dancers due to votes, we might as well try to keep the remaining great ones at the top.
