See which TWO pairs were sent packing during a BRUTAL double elimination on DWTS (via toofab)
Heading into the semifinals right away were Suni and JoJo -- who was thrilled not to hit that Bottom 3 -- followed by Amanda, Cody and Iman. That makes Iman the only upset of those declared safe, but we know he’s become a fan-favorite throughout the season, and we can’t fault the fans. This is a journey that we’ve been enjoying as well.
That left Melora to join Jimmie and Olivia in the Bottom 3 -- which brings us one step closer to our predictions being right. They’re also predictions we can live with, though we’ve enjoyed Olivia’s journey on the show and think she’s a stronger dancer than even the judges have given her. Jimmie, too, has had a nice arc, but he seems to have peaked and it’s not quite enough.
It also backs our play that viewers are somehow pushing for gender parity, as the women dominated again and two of them make up the Bottom 3. Either that, or they’re just supporting disproportionately the male stars over the ladies. That’s certainly happened in the past, too. The couple eliminated automatically by viewer votes was not the lowest with the judges, but it was as we expected, withsaying goodbye after a solid run that never was fully appreciated -- and we can probably chalk at least some of that up to her involvement in the college admissions scandal.
Down to Melora and Jimmie, this should be a no-brainer. Melora is the stronger dancer hands down. It was a clean sweep, as it should be, with a lot of love forIt’s the semi-finals already next week on “Dancing with the Stars,” Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
