their paso still stands up today as one of the greatest dwts dances of all time. i will die on that hill. we were truly blessed to get to see it twice. BEST. DANCE. EVER!
No disrespect to Val but I really feel like Riker and Allison should’ve won. Because they had so much chemistry, partnership, and musicality than Rumer and Val. And plus Riker was more deserving than Rumer.
I adored Rumer, but looking back his dancing mixed with Allison's incredible choreography they really should've won. I hope she comes back and I hope he comes back for an All Stars season.
He absolutely should have won. Rumer is a good dancer, but literally Rumer and Val placed it ultra safe. Every dance they did looked the same. She won because her “Hollywood royalty” parents agreed to make an appearance. Bruce Willis did it with a mug on his face too.
ok this is the first time I've seen this and i think it's so cute that no matter what, no matter how many times she jumps or flips he doesn't drop her.
I’m still so salty that they didn’t win. I saw R5 twice that following summer and he had a bunch of mirror ball trophies that fans had made him lined up on his bass amp. It broke my heart. 😭 He deserved so much better.
@@dragonsrock6049 yes! I took this picture at the Kettering, Ohio show. faraway5251.tumblr.com/post/125183759432/when-you-have-a-riker-in-your-face-for-half-the
@Kate Wilkinson (seeing this now because I never got a RU-vid notification about your reply) It’s sad, but it’s also kind of sweet. Not just fans giving him little homemade mirror balls. I feel like fact that he brought them onstage shows how much he appreciates the gesture. And I bet he knew those fans would be ecstatic to see that he was bringing them onstage while he performed if they saw pictures on social media.
Their Paso was awesome and did pirates of the Caribbean so much justice but I still think my favorite dance of theirs is their salsa, it’s so clean and well executed
Until this day this pairing is the most, if not one of the most, fun DWTS couples for me to watch! Maybe Riker fell a little short of Rumer when it comes to technicality, but he is super entertaining. I loved every single dance from this season.
they're my fav dwts couple of all time.. also I miss when DWTS had sky box interviews and live streamed some of the rehearsals, it kept fans more engaged :(
IM STILL PISSED HE DIDN'T WIN. MY FACORITE IF ALL TIME EVERY YEAR I TRY AND FIND A NEW RYKER AND ALLISON AND IT NEVER HAPPENED PLEASE HAVE A DWTS WITH HIM AND ALLISON SO HE WILL WIN WHAT HE DESERVES THANK YOU
They didn't win because half of the result is viewers' votes. Riker got to runner-up because he could DANCE. Rumer had a little name recognition AND she could dance. At the end of the day, the votes went to Rumer. But frankly, it's Riker's dancing that I remember today.
Whenever I see the thumbnail of this video, I always think that Allison looks like a concerned mother in an interview for some reality show or PSA about something important! 😂
This is the alison that i know from so you think you can dance and the versiom that i miss. I think in the past six or so years she feels like she has to give off a certain image
