After this week the celebs/pros can relax, it is the final week of the nerve racking but fun Dance Duel:-). My bottom 2 prediction is Melissa & Roshon.
Dancing Duel is a joke. If you’re gonna give the judges the final vote on who goes home – at least please tell Carrie Ann to be serious! This is a dance competition after all!
Melissa Gilbert going home next…
what just happened with that lift…? 0.o
Crotch shot I think
Why did they cut away from Chelsie and Roshon dancing? Why were they blocked?
