I think the F2 will be Nomani and Rashad. I would like a Rashad win.
Sorry Cubs' fans.

You don't have to be sorry. I think most of us Cubs fans understand he isn't likely to win at all. We are just happy he has made it so far.

I'd like a Rashad Simone final two with a Simone win.

Sort of like when Jerry Rice competed. He made it to the final 3, but probably shouldn't have been there.

Liked David's dance, not so much Conner.

The second I saw Bonner got all 7s on his first dance, I knew David had a chance of staying tonight. No matter what, David scored higher than Bonner. For the night, Bonner had 61 and David had 65. So yes, David deserved to stay tonight just based on tonight's points.

Conner & Sharna gone.
David & Lindsay dance another week.  David & Lindsay's first dance had Len near tears!
I think Normani will win mirrorball. David no. 2?! Good dancer. Extremely popular.

Simone is so talented, it's just not transferring on the dance floor, I don't know.
I never thought David would get this far after his very first dance that first night! He's having fun, and so am I, and like most I doubt if he'll go much further, but I'll still root for him!

I am glad Simone stood up for herself. She is only 20 (i googled that because i actually thought she was younger!)
She hasn't had the life experiences of a normal 20 year old.

Laurie Hernandez didn't either. But she had much more bubbly personality.

I thought Simone and Laurie were around 16 or 17.

At this point, I think I would be happy with any of the remaining contestants winning this season. They are all excellent, with David just being a person who I didn't know I would love at the beginning of the season. He really tries his best, no matter what. Beautiful waltz last night.

I like them all, but I just can't get behind Normani because of her dance experience. I absolutely hate that they put "stars" on that have dance experience.

Does anyone feel the judges (DWTS) pushed Heather out and now they are trying to push Simone out? Heather would have gotten a lot of votes from being on Glee. I feel the judges are pushing for Normani to win, which is so wrong. The judges are judges; not supposed to be fans.
I like Normani, but I feel she uses her sexuality to get high marks; whereas Simone is spot on in every dance and they just tore her down. She was so mad before her trio dance. They basically told her she wasn't good enough. That's BS. I'll take her great dancing, hard work and SMILES any day over young women using their sexuality.
I'd like to see Simone & Rashad in the F2 and may the best dancer win.
Lexie girl...what dance experience has Normani had? I didn't know that.

Normani belongs to that girl group Fifth Harmony.

I'm hoping the harsh treatment of Simone got people voting. I know it did me! I put all 10 of my votes toward her.

That makes her a singer but what about dance experience?

I actually agree with the judges in regards to Simone. She is excellent in executing the steps, but find her dances are just blah. Which stands to reason, considering that is what gymnastics is all about, execution not emotion.
I'd like Rashad/Normani final 2.

I looked up Fifth Harmony and found this video of them dancing, with the gals on the video showing viewers how to do their dance. So yes, Normani does have dance experience, but to be fair, so did Heather and I LOVED Heather. Love watching Heather dance. Normani has a natural rhythm, but I feel Simone has worked harder. JMO.

Brenda, so hope you are right and viewers vote for Simone. I usually record this show and watch later, but next Monday I will watch live so I can vote for Simone. However, I no longer trust the DWTS franchise. As one article said about them, they have become as 'reality' as The Bachelor. Hmmm.

Simone has a smile that lights up the room. They are asking her to 'dig deep' and feel emoticons and use her experiences.... Welll, she hasn't dated, she has lived in a gym. What experiences would they like her to dig from. She did dig and use her emotions/feelings on being adopted/foster child. But if she kept referring back to that time and time again, she would be accused of pandering.
What they want from her? She smiled too much in the first dance and not enough in the second.???

Jimmer, I think what a lot of people feel is unfair is that she (and others in the past) have had an advantage of having danced and learned to pick up choreography. Then again athletes have had the experience of knowing how to listen to coaches, so everyone has their own "advantage".

I'm very much enjoying Normani's dancing. She certainly doesn't do ballroom dancing with Fifth Harmony, but she is doing so well. I'm amazed at her tangos!
Simone is adorable, but she still looks like she's performing gymnastics. She is a good dancer, but her hands look more gymnasticsy than graceful. I agree with the judges that she is very precise. She needs to be more emotional (and yes, teenagers can be emotional! Especially girls! I know I was.)
And I have to say that David and Lindsay's father/daughter dance absolutely devasted me. I sobbed for 5 minutes afterwards. I used to dance on my dad's feet like that, too, when I was about 5 or 6. My dad's been gone almost 29 years, but you never stop missing a parent.

Babyjax...that killed me too. My daughter dances still (age 23) on her dad's feet. She talks about how she will have to do that at her wedding.
(((And you never stop missing a parent))))

If you look at the difference between Simone and Laurie Hernandez from last season, I think it is a great juxtaposition of each girl's strengths. Laurie was able to drop her guard and show her personality, while Simone has yet to do that. In a lot of ways I think that is what makes Simone a better gymnast, but Laurie the better dancer.
In another thought, does anybody else think that the judges were trying to pull more viewer votes to Rashad and Normani with the choices for the trios? At this point I think many of the dancers have their own fan bases, and Whitney I would think has a fairly good one, and somewhat Alan as well. The other 3 I don't think I'd ever heard of. Seems like usually you see Tony, Val, Kim, etc, not usually those just in the troup.
