My Thoughts On The Pretty Little Liar Finale

I've been waiting to do this post for awhile!  I was waiting so that I didn't ruin anything.  If you haven't watched yet be warned that there will be spoilers.  Let's get to it!

I've been ADDICTED to this show since the very beginning.  They really hyped up this season calling it the summer of answers.  We were FINALLY going to find out who A is!  I thought it was going to be Bethany.  She has been connected to Alison's family quite often plus we knew that A was related.  I didn't have any crazy theories or predictions like a lot of other fans did.  I honestly had NO idea who it was but I was 90% sure that Sara had something to do with it.

I really loved the episode!  It was super suspenseful and it did answer most of the questions that we fans wanted to know.  I did not think that A was going to be CeCe Drake.  When she turned around my jaw literally dropped.  She just hasn't been on the show in awhile.  Some people didn't like the transgender storyline but I honestly didn't mind it.  It actually made sense and I can't believe we didn't figure it out with all the clues!  Also Sara Harvey was red coat AND black widow.  I was on to her!

The end jumped ahead 5 years and showed the girls warning Alison that he was following her.  Who is he?  How can they leave as hanging like that?  Also, did the moms ever get out of the basement?  We won't find anything out until January!  That's too long!  Did you watch the finale?  Let me know your thoughts.

5 Shows I'm Currently Watching

Usually during the summer there is NOTHING on TV.  Somehow this year has been different.  I feel like I watch at least one show a night.  They have put out a TON of new shows.  There is also some returning shows as well.  Thank god I have DVR!  Today I thought I would share 5 shows that I'm currently watching.  What are you watching?

1. Hollywood Game Night

I am OBSESSED with game shows!  This is by far my favorite one.  It has celebrities and tons of crazy games that you could never think of on your own.  We actually have the board game and it gets intense!  I would love to be on that show!  I would totally dominate.  It's on every Tuesday night.  I highly recommend it!

2. Pretty Little Liars

Of course I couldn't not mention my favorite show EVER!  If you have never watched an episode of PLL then go to Netflix right now!  Each episode gets better and better!  This season has been SUPER creepy but I don't even care.  We are finally getting some answers and I want more!  It's on Tuesday nights also.

3. The Fosters

I have loved this show since last year.  It's about a lesbian couple and their kids.  I love how it shows that they aren't any different from any other family.  I pretty much cry during every episode but it's a good cry.  The drama is intense at times as well.  You can catch up on this show on Netflix too.  It's on Monday nights.

4. Big Brother

This show is my life every summer!  It is time consuming but it's just SO good!  It's basically a bunch of players living in a house and being filmed 24/7.  You can even watch the live feeds!  I watch the daily spoilers on YouTube instead.  It's only week 5 and people are acting crazy.  I love it!!  It's on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

5. Dance Moms

This show is my biggest guilty pleasure!  I wish I could be on the show!  I just love the drama!!!  I love the kids because all they care about is dancing.  The moms fight with pretty much everybody.  Of course the star of the show is Abby Lee Miller!  She has just lost her mind and I freaking love it!  I could watch it all day long!  It's on Tuesday nights.

DWTS Season 19: Dynamic Duo Night!

Welcome to week 8!  Tonight's theme is Dynamic Duos.  The couples will be dancing as some of the must famous duos.  This week is also dance off time.  Each couple, except the highest scoring of the night, will get on the floor and dance off against each other.  The judges will decide who wins the the dance off and gets more points added to their scores.  The highest scoring of the night will be immune from elimination.  It always gets a little crazy!  One couple will be eliminated tonight.  Make sure you vote for your favorites and tune in next week for more!


LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:

Their dynamic duo is Bonnie and Clyde.  This week she danced Jazz.  I enjoyed it but I didn't love it.  Bonnie and Clyde were outlaws and this was too nice.  It needed to be gritty and raw.  Her timing was great but the concept just failed.  Her confidence is finally back though.  It was missed so I'm happy for her.  Her score was 32 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:

Their dynamic duo is Tarzan and Jane.  This week he danced the Foxtrot.  I thought this was one of his better dances.  I don't think he is where he should be at this point.  It had a lot more content than he typically has.  It looked pretty at parts though.  I'm glad he tries so hard because it shows he really cares.  His score was 25 of 40.

JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:

Their dynamic duo is Romeo and Juliet.  This week she danced Contemporary.  I really liked this dance.  It was beautiful and romantic.  It really captured the love story of Romeo and Juliet.  It felt like nobody was in the room.  My only critique was that it had a few too many lifts for my liking.  Other than that it was breathtaking.  Her score was 40 of 40.

TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:

Their dynamic duo is Johnny and June Carter Cash.  This week he danced the Paso Doble.  I'm so sad and disappointed.  He messed up quite a lot.  It was just all over the place.  It also lacked the emotion it needed.  I understand he is the oldest person on the show but he needs to work harder.  I still love him though.  I don't want him to go yet.  His score was 26 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:

Their dynamic duo is Adam and Eve.  This week she danced Contemporary.  This dance was phenomenal!  The story was perfection!  It fit her SO well because of what she stands for. She was just so mature and I believed it all.  I feel like it had a ton of passion which is super important.  I wanted more!  Her score was 38 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:

Their dynamic duo is Batman and Robin.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  He did an awesome job!  It was just so much fun.  He had the hardest story to convey and I think he really pulled it off.  He can really do no wrong.  Everything he does is pretty much perfection.  I'm definitely a fan.  His score was 38 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:

Their dynamic duo is Ricky and Lucy from I Love Lucy.  This week she danced the Salsa.  I loved this SO much!  I had so much energy and a ton of content.  I liked how it barely had any tricks or gimmicks.  It was just straight up Salsa.  I appreciate that.  She just blows me away every week.  Her score was 37 of 40.

The Dance Off:

Alfonso vs. Lea: They danced the Jive.  If I had to pick I would choose Alfonso because it had lots of energy and content.  Lea made obvious mistakes.  The judges picked Alfonso as the winner.  He gets 3 extra points added to their score.

Sadie vs. Bethany: They danced the Cha Cha.  If I had to pick I would choose Bethany because it had more content that I liked.  They were pretty evenly matched though.  The judges were tied so Len made the decision which was Bethany.  She gets 3 extra points added to her score.

Tommy vs. Michael: They danced the Rumba.  If I had to pick I would choose Tommy because it was smooth and romantic.  Michael was just messy.  The judges picked Tommy as the winner.  He gets 3 extra points added to their score.

Results:

Janel won immunity and can't be eliminated.  Alfonso, Bethany, Sadie, and Lea are safe.  Michael and Tommy are in danger.  Michael is eliminated meaning Tommy will be back next week.

Jerica

DWTS Season 19: Team Creepy vs. Team Itsy Bitsy

It's week 7!  Tonight is Halloween themed which I'm very excited about.  All the original judges will are back.  I'm glad because I wasn't a fan of the all guest judges.  Tonight the celebrities will be dancing two dances.  One solo dance and one team dance.  This is the first time this season they have done two dances.  The show opened with an AMAZING group routine!  Tonight somebody will go home.  Make sure you vote for your favorites and check back Monday for more!


TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:

He is stressed about learning two routines because of his knees.  He is the oldest on the show.  This week he danced the Quickstep.  I actually like when he does ballroom.  His footwork had a few mistakes but it was still fun.  It had a lot of content which is always good.  He really pulled it together.  I love him!  His score was 28 of 40.

LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:

Last week was pretty harsh from the judges so know there is doubt.  This week she danced the Argentine Tango.  This was SO good!  It had a ton of passion and perfection.  I love their chemistry together.  She has nothing to worry about.  She still needs to loosen up a little bit though.  Her score was 34 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:

She was very scattered during rehearsal because the workload has doubled.  This week she danced the Paso Doble.  It was PHENOMENAL!  It was completely flawless;  It just had SO much passion and great content.  The whole production was on point as well.  I liked how it was Halloween themed but it didn't over power the dance.  She is just awesome!  Her score was 39 of 40.

ANTONIO SABATO JR. AND CHERYL BURKE:

They are in the bottom for the first time ever.  This week he danced the Viennese Waltz.  It wasn't bad but it could have been so much better.  The only thing I liked was the story.  He improves a little bit each week but not enough.  I honestly don't know how long he will last at this rate.  His score was 27 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:

He can't believe he has made it this far.  This week he danced the Jive.  It was terrible.  It did not have any content.  There were no kicks or flicks which is what Jive is.  The timing was completely off.  I feel bad for his partner because she tries.  He makes no effort it feels like.  He also won't last much longer.  His score was 20 of 40.

JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:

Since it is Halloween week she is dedicating it to all her Pretty Little Liars fans.  This week she danced the Viennese Waltz.  This is my favorite show so I loved it.  It was beautiful but creepy at the same time.  I wish it was a bit more traditional but as a fan I enjoyed it.  She still hasn't blown me away yet.  Her score was 31 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:

The both had injures but they aren't slowing down at all.  This week he danced the Rumba.  I really liked it!  I liked how it wasn't sexual but still full of content.  It was SO good!  I wish it never had to end.  It was just beautiful and wonderful.  I'm gonna have to say it was my favorite Rumba ever.  His score was 36 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:

Last week she got her first 10 and this week he feels out of his comfort zone due to the filming of Duck Dynasty.  This week she danced the Paso Doble.  I really liked it a lot.  This was the first time it felt unnaturally for her.  I loved the theme and I thought the content was great.  I thought overall she did a great job.  Her score was 30 of 40.

Team Itsy Bitsy:

The team captain is Bethany.  She chose Janel, Lea, and Michael.  The style is Freestyle.  I loved everything about this!  It was just so awesome!  They killed it!  The girls were like black widow spiders killing their prey and I loved it!  Their score was 36 of 40.  This will be added to each members scores from tonight.

Team Creepy:

The team captain is Alfonso.  He chose Sadie, Antonio, and Tommy.  The style is Freestyle.  I thought it was really fun.  They looked great costume wise.  It had lots of energy but they weren't totally in sync.  They shined individually though.  Their score was 32 of 40.  This will be added to each members scores from tonight.

Results:

Bethany, Michael, Lea, Janel, Alfonso, and Sadie are safe.  Antonio and Tommy are in danger.  Antonio is eliminated meaning Tommy will be back next week.

DWTS Season 19: The Best Year Of My Life Is...

It's week 4!  Tonight's theme is the celebrities most memorable year.  This is always one of my favorite episodes.  It gets very emotional though!  Tonight another celebrity will be going home.  The guest judge tonight is you.  It won't matter since you are reading this after.  Tonight's show kicked off with another amazing group routine.  They have really stepped it up this year.  Make sure to vote for your favorite celebrity and come back Monday for more!


JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:

Her most memorable year was when she moved to LA after her mentor told her.  Her mentor then passed away.  This week she danced the Rumba.  I really liked it.  Sometimes this dance is too sexy but she kept it classy.  It had passion but was still beautiful.  It was my favorite by her so far.  Her score was 36 of 40.

JONATHAN BENNETT AND ALLISON HOLKER:

His most memorable year was 2004 when he was in Mean Girls.  This week he danced the Samba.  It is so hard because I do like him but this wasn't that great.  It was stiff and very flatfooted.  It was kind of a mess.  He really just focus a little bit more.  His personality was on point though.  His score was 24 of 40.

BETSEY JOHNSON AND TONY DOVOLANI:

Her most memorable year was 1975 when her daughter was born.  This week she danced the Jive.  I really enjoyed it but it wasn't her best.  I do like her but I wanted more Jive moves in the dance.  Also it wasn't fast enough.  It had good moments but I think the judges were too nice.  I've seen better from her.  Her score was 29 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:

Her most memorable year was 2009 because that is when she started YouTube.  She started because she was bullied.  This week she danced the Rumba.  I honestly cried during this.  The message was SO powerful.  It was beautiful.  It did need more Rumba content but it didn't even matter.  It was so much more than just a dance.  Her score was 33 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:

His most memorable year was 2001 when he won the Daytona 500 but it was also the same day his friend Dale Earnhardt died.  This week he danced the Quickstep.  He tries SO hard but it just doesn't work out.  He missed a few steps and it was stiff.  I think he can do it he just needs to work harder.  His score was 25 of 40.

LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:

Her most memorable year was 2003 when her dad died of cancer.  This week she danced Contemporary.  It was very emotional. Again I teared up.  I always love when she dances.  You could feel the emotion while she danced.  It was flawless.  I never wanted it to end honestly.  Her score was 39 of 40.

ANTONIO SABATO JR. AND CHERYL BURKE:

His most memorable year was when he moved to America from Italy.  This week he danced the Samba.  He is improving but still needs work.  He needs to dance bigger so it projects out to the audience.  He also missed a few steps.  At least he looks good!  His score was 29 of 40.

TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:

His most memorable year was 2003 when he was arrested for drug smuggling.  This week he danced the Jive.  I just love him!  He can really move!  He did make a few mistakes but who cares.  I enjoy every dance he does.  He just makes me smile.  That is what dance is really all about.  His score was 28 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:

Her most memorable year was 2012 when Duck Dynasty started and her life changed.  This week she danced the Samba.  I LOVED this dance!  Everything about it was perfection!  It had great content and a TON of fun!  The concept was adorable as well.  I wanted it to never end!  She is just amazing!  Her score was 37 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:

His most memorable year was when he was on Fresh Prince.  This week he danced Jazz.  It FINALLY happened!  He did the iconic Carlton dance!  Who doesn't love that dance?  It changed the 90's forever!  It was so much more then that though.  This was my favorite Jazz routine on this show.  I loved it!  His score was 40 of 40.

Results:

Sadie, Bethany, Alfonso, Lea, Antonio, Jonathan, and Janel are safe.  Tommy, Betsey, and Michael are in danger.  Betsey is eliminated.  This means Tommy and Michael will be back next week.

DWTS Season 19 Results: Who's Jam Just Didn't Make The Cut?

Tonight is another elimination!  The show started with a group routine by the female pros.  They are killing it this season!  Lea, Randy, and Betsey are safe.  Next Nico and Vinz performed their hit Am I Wrong.  They are really good and I love the song.  Tommy and Jonathan are safe.  Michael is in danger.  I wasn't shocked by this because he had the lowest score last night.  The encore dance is Janel's Foxtrot.  This wouldn't have been my choice but it was ok.  Janel and Bethany are safe.  Sadie is in danger.  I'm a bit shocked but last night wasn't her best.  Sia performed her hit Chandelier.  I personally hate this song but Maddie from Dance Mom's performed to it so I enjoyed that.  Next weeks guest judge will be Kevin Hart.  It is also Movie Night next week.  Julianne Hough is dancing with the male pros!  I wish she would dance more because it was AMAZING!  Alfonso and Antonio are safe.  Tavis is in danger.  Again he didn't do so well last night.  The celebrity that is eliminated is Tavis.  This means Sadie and Michael will be back next week.

DWTS Season 19: OMG This Is My Jam!

Tonight is week 2!  The theme for the week is the celebrities will dance to their favorite jams.  I have to say I'm already loving this season.  The show started with a fun group dance introducing the judges and celebrities.  I love the new intros this season.  Don't forget to vote because tomorrow somebody will go home.  Come back tomorrow to find out who!  Also tell me what your jam is?


RANDY COUTURE AND KARINA SMIRNOFF:

His jam is I Can't Get No Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  It was a bit rough.  Last week seemed more effortless.  He needs to work on a few things.  I still think he could be a contender.  His score was 28 of 40.

JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:

Her jam is Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  It was A LOT better than last week.  I liked that it wasn't super traditional.  It needed a bit more work but more controlled.  The judges thought it was near perfect but I wouldn't go that far.  I enjoyed it.  Her score was 34 of 40.

LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:

Her jam is Land Of A Thousand Dances by Wilson Pickett.  This week she danced the Jive.  I really like her.  I'm SO impressed by how well she does.  She has a dance background so I shouldn't be too shocked.  She can do both styles really well and most people can't.  Her score was 35 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:

His jam is Girls In Bikinis by Lee Brice.  This week he danced the Samba.  He was a mess but I was highly entertained.  I feel like it needed more Samba but it was fun.  He doesn't take himself too seriously but maybe he should.  His score was 24 of 40.

TAVIS SMILEY AND SHARNA BURGESS:

His jam is Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind & Fire.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  I liked him better last week but I still enjoyed it.  It needed to be a lot cleaner.  You can tell he was just having fun.  I think he just had too much going on this week.  Hopefully next week he'll be back to his old self.  His score was 28 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:

His jam is Gettin' Jiggy Wit It by Will Smith.  This week he danced the Samba.  I just LOVE him!  Can he do anything wrong?  I never want him to stop!  He is just SO full of energy.  It needed work but I still loved it.  I'm interested to see how he does in ballroom.  His score was 32 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:

Her jam is All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  She was injured but you couldn't even tell!  I loved it!  It was just so classy but still modern.  The prop was freaking AMAZING!  I'm calling it the best of the night!  Her score was 33 of 40.

BETSEY JOHNSON AND TONY DOVOLANI:

Her jam is Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  Anything would be better than last week.  I had very low expectations.  It was actually pretty good!  She looked awesome and timeless.  I couldn't believe how well she did.  She was definitely the most improved by far.  Her score was 28 of 40.

ANTONIO SABATO JR. AND CHERYL BURKE:

His jam is Adorn by Miguel.  The week he danced the Rumba.  I was impressed because this dance requires a strong connection and they had it.  It was subtle which I liked.  He is really improving so maybe he has a chance.  His score was 31 of 40.

TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:

His jam is Higher by Gloria Estefan.  This week he danced the Salsa.  Every time he dances I just smile.  He is also REALLY good.  He is just so much fun!  I am totally a fan to be honest.  Who doesn't love him?  His score was 28 of 40.

JONATHAN BENNETT AND ALLISON HOLKER:

His jam is Sing by Ed Sheeran.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  I was highly disappointed.  I felt like his partner out danced him.  I also lacked content.  It was just jerky on the Cha Cha parts.  I'm sad because he can do better.  His score was 30 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:

Her jam is She's Country by Jason Aldean.  This week she danced Jazz.  I love her!  She just comes out and does her thing.  She seems like a natural without ever dancing before.  This routine was edgier and I liked it.  Her score was 31 of 40.

Tonight is the first elimination of the season.  Who will be the first to go?  We will soon find out!  The show started with a group dance by the female pros.  It was SO good!  Antonio and Tavis are safe.  The first person in danger is Betsey.  I'm not too surprised due to the boa malfunction that messed up her dance.  Next there was an encore of Alfonso's Jive.  This was by far my favorite dance last night and it was even better tonight!  Janel and Randy are safe.  Michael is the next person in danger.  Again I was expecting this because he wasn't that great last night.  Aloe Blacc and Smokey Robinson performed My Girl.  This is one of my all time favorite songs and I LOVED this version!  Alfonso, Sadie, and Bethany are safe.  Lea is in danger.  I'm shocked by this because I really liked her dance.  The new pros showed off their moves.  I loved this because it shows their individual styles.  Tommy and Jonathan are safe.  Lolo is in danger.  I saw this coming.  Her dance was the worst of the night by far.  The results are in.  The first celebrity eliminated is Lolo.  This means Lea, Michael, and Betsey are will be back next week.  I'm glad because she was terrible.  Are you guys glad with the results?  Let me know!

DWTS Season 19: New Cast New Season

It's opening night!  I am SO glad the show is back!  Of course I'll be recapping every episode.  This season a fourth judge is appearing and it's Julianne Hough!  I'm excited for this because I love her but she is a pretty tough judge.  There is also lots of new pros which should be exciting as well.  I'm hoping they have lots of twists this season but I'm sure we'll find out.  It's a 2 night premiere where somebody will be eliminated.  Make sure you vote to save your favorites!  So make sure to check back tomorrow!


ANTONIO SABATO JR. AND CHERYL BURKE:

He is a soap opera star and underwear model.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  I thought he did pretty good for the first show.  It was a bit stiff but at least he is nice to look at.  He had great chemistry with his partner as well.  His score was 25 of 40.

LEA THOMPSON AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:

She is an actress best known for her roles in Back To The Future and Switched At Birth.  She got one of this seasons new pros.  This week she danced the Foxtrot.  She did very well.  I'm not sure how fair it is because she has ballet experience.  I also really like her partner.  Her score was 32 of 40.

JANEL PARRISH AND VALENTIN CHMERKOVSKIY:

She is an actress best known for her role as Mona on Pretty Little Liars.  I'm totally a huge PLL fan!  This week she danced the Jive.  You guys know this is my favorite dance style.  I thought she did great but I wanted a more traditional Jive moves.  Maybe it was the music that threw me off.  I did like her energy and she is definitely a contender.  Her score was 29 of 40.

LOLO JONES AND KEO MOTSEPE:

She is an Olympian,  She also got a new pro this season.  This week she danced the Cha Cha.  It was a mess!  It was stiff and there was a fake smile.  She just looked SO uncomfortable!  Plus she messed it up.  Her score was 22 of 40.

BETSEY JOHNSON AND TONY DOVOLANI:

She is a fashion designer.  This week she danced the Cha Cha.  I actually really like her but it took a wrong turn.  Her prop messed up the whole dance!  Until that she did really good.  She is highly energetic which is good.  I liked how she resorted to her cartwheel split signature move.  Her score was 20 of 40.

TAVIS SMILEY AND SHARNA BURGESS:

He is a talk show host.  This week he danced the Foxtrot.  I was very surprised by him!  He seems so serious but that didn't show at all!  It was natural and fun.  He still needs some technical work but I think he'll go far.  His score was 29 of 40.

SADIE ROBERTSON AND MARK BALLAS:

She is the daughter of Willie on Duck Dynasty.  I have to admit I am a fan of the show.  This week she danced the Cha Cha.  I honestly loved her!  She was fun and it blew me away!  I can't believe she has never danced before.  I'm obsessed already!  Her score was 34 of 40.

MICHAEL WALTRIP AND EMMA SLATER:

He is a race car driver.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  He needs a lot of work.  He did have the personality though.  He needed more steps and more energy.  I think he could do well if he continues working on it.  His score was 25 of 40.

JONATHAN BENNETT AND ALLISON HOLKER:

He is an actor best known for his role in Mean Girls.  That movie is pretty much my life.  He also has one of the new pros this season.  This week he danced the Jive.  He is by far my favorite male celebrity dancer.  It was AMAZING!  This is the Jive I was waiting for and he delivered.  He has set the bar pretty high.  His score was 30 of 40.

TOMMY CHONG AND PETA MURGATROYD:

He is Chong from the comedy duo Cheech and Chong.  This week he danced the Cha Cha.  He was pure entertainment!  He was breaking it down!  Also choosing Snoop Dogg as the song choice was perfect!  I'm honestly sad its over.  I smiled the whole dance.  His score was 27 of 40.

RANDY COUTURE AND KARINA SMIRNOFF:

He is a UFC fighter.  This week he danced the Foxtrot.  He looks really rough and mean but I think he could be a true romantic.  He definitely needs some fine tuning.  He was another surprise that I wasn't expecting.  The girls all adore him.  I wouldn't go that far yet.  His score was 31 of 40.

BETHANY MOTA AND DEREK HOUGH:

She is a YouTube sensation.  I am Team Mota all the way!  I watch all her videos.  This week she danced the Jive.  She KILLED it!  It totally fit her personality.  It was bubbly and fun!  I liked that it was traditional but also modern.  I'm extremely glad Derek is her partner because he can make anybody great.  I loved it!  Her score was 32 of 40.

ALFONSO RIBEIRO AND WITNEY CARSON:

He is an actor best known for his role as Carlton on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.  This week he danced the Jive.  OMG I LOVE HIM!  He totally KILLED IT!  I have to say it was the best of the night!  I want more!  He is the one to beat!  His score was 36 of 40.

Pretty Little Liars Recap

OMG you guys!  I just finished watching the spring finale of Pretty Little Liars!  I've been obsessed with this show since the very beginning.  I have to say this was the best finale yet!  So many questions were answered but so many more arose.  If you aren't caught up or haven't watched the finale you may want to stop reading.  There may be SPOILERS!!!!!!!  I'm going to talk about my entire thoughts on this season.  First of all I knew Ali wasn't dead.  I'm glad we heard more from her though.  I was honestly shocked by Aria's story line this season.  She is usually so quite and drama free.  Then Ezra was A!!!!!!!!!!  I didn't see that coming AT ALL!  Thankfully he actually wasn't because I'm kind of in love with him.  He came to rescue them and finally reveal A!  Unfortunately A got away but not before shooting Ezra!  I really hope he doesn't die!  Another shocker this season was Spencer. Who knew she had a crazy side?  I liked her before but now I like her even more.  I had a feeling she didn't hurt Ali.  The other girls didn't really stick out much with their stories except Hannah.  I did hear Caleb will be back so I'm very happy!  I'm pretty sure Melissa is involved somehow.  I have never trusted her.  I'm also pretty sure Mona is still involved somehow.  I have a suspicion who A is but I wanna know who you think it is?  Also do you think Ali's mom is really dead?  Tell me all your thoughts!  I can't wait for June so we can find out more!

DWTS Season 17: First Elimination!

It's week 2!  Tonight will be this season's first elimination also.  Since there is no result show this year things will be different.  Tonight all the couples will dance but at the end of the show someone will go based on last weeks votes and scores.  The show started with a big group dance.  I love how they involve the celebrities this year.

Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Valentin Chmerkovskiy:

She has decided to become a different character for each dance.  This week she danced the Samba.  The judges all love her.  I just find her boring.  I thought she did a good job but I didn't love it.  She has also been a trained dancer before so I think it's unfair.  Her score was 25 out of 30.

Christina Milian and Mark Ballas:

She wants to stand out and be more fierce.  This week she danced the Paso Doble.  I actually loved this dance.  It had a more modern twist which I really enjoyed.  She has become much more confident this week which is important for this dance.  Her score was 25 out of 30.

Bill Engvall and Emma Slater:

He didn't feel like the judges comments reflected their scores last week so he wanted to prove them wrong.  This week he danced the Jive.  He impresses me every time.  He really isn't that bad of a dancer.  He needs to work on his footwork though.  His score was 21 out of 30.

Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke:

He had a hard time showing different emotions.  This week he danced the Rumba.  He is just so cute!  I thought this dance was really good.  He showed emotion and he even did the splits which I found impressive.  He still needs a little work though.  His score was 24 out of 30.

Keyshawn Johnson and Sharna Burgess:

He has to travel a lot for work so he's worried about it affecting his performance.  This week he danced the Samba.  He is not good at all.  He needs to be lighter on his feet.  He is also always off beat with the music.  At least he's having fun.  His score was 18 out of 30.

Snooki and Sasha Farber:

She had a hard time being sensual with her partner in rehearsals.  This week she danced the Rumba.  It wasn't the best.  It needed to flow more.  It was to clean and stiff.  I still enjoy her though and I know she'll get better.  Her score was 20 out of 30.

Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani:

She recently left the Scientology church so she is trying to deal with her emotions.  This week she danced the Samba.  I really liked her.  She came out so confident and passion.  She still needs to improve some but I like her a lot.  Her score was 24 out of 30.

Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein:

He was at the bottom and ready to make a comeback.  This week he danced the Paso Doble.  It was definitely an improvement from last week.  He is always very entertaining though.  He needs to work on his foot work a lot more if he makes it.  His score was 17 out of 30.

Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff:

He wanted to honor all his High School Musical fans.  This week he danced the Jive.  I LOVED IT!  I am a huge HSM fan and it did take me back.  It was so fun and just exciting!  It had a raw edge to it also.  Plus they danced to One Direction who I also love.  His score was 26 out of 30.

Valerie Harper and Tristan MacManus:

She doesn't want to be treated different just because she has cancer.  This week she danced the Paso Doble.  I didn't like it.  It lacked the passion and intensity that this dance needs.  She looked a little lost half way through.  She is inspiring though.  Her score was 19 out of 30.

Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd:

He really wants to keep improving.  This week he danced the Rumba.  It was the best Rumba of the night for sure.  It was very sexy!  I wanted more!  They just have excellent chemistry together.  He needs to work on his feet still but he's good.  His score was 23 out of 30.

Amber Riley and Derek Hough:

She doesn't want people to say she's a good dancer for her size, she wants them to say she's a good dancer.  This week she danced the Jive.  I really liked it.  It wasn't the best but I thought she did great.  It needed more bounce and better kicks.  Her score was 24 out of 30.

Next up was the elimination.  Corbin, Leah, Bill N., Christina, Amber, Valerie, Snooki, Jack, Brant, Elizabeth, and Bill E. are safe.  Keyshawn has been eliminated.  I honestly wasn't too surprised.

Pretty Little Liars TAG!

Hey guys!  I am OBSESSED with the show Pretty Little Liars!!!  I never miss an episode!  I saw this tag on YouTube and knew I had to do it.  I have so many theories and thoughts to share.  I want to know what you guys are thinking too!  We can have our own discussion.  Also if you aren't caught up be aware there may be some spoilers.

1. Which girl's style do you love the most? Which girl do you relate to the most?
I love Aria's style!  It is so bold and completely different than my style.  My style is probably most like Hanna's.  I tend to wear more girly stuff like her.  I definitely wish I could pull off Aria's though.

2. Why do the girls keep seeing Alison? Do you think there's something more behind it?
I honestly think she is alive.  I think she wants the girls to do all the work for her so that she seems dead.  Or it could be her twin.  Or maybe it's all been a dream this whole time.  There are so many possibilities!!!

3. Who's your crush on the show? ;)
Ezra!  He is so cute and totally my type.  I wish my high school teacher's were that cute.

4. Who is your least favorite character? (Out of the 4 girls and overall)
Out of the girls my least favorite is Emily.  I just don't like her story line.  She always puts herself in situations that she doesn't need to.  Like dating Mya's "cousin", you could tell right away he was a liar.  Overall my least favorite is Melissa.  She is so fishy and shady.  I don't trust her at all.

5. What was the biggest shocking moment for you?
Finding out Toby was A.  When he turned around my jaw dropped open.  I couldn't believe it!!  I felt bad immediately for Spencer though.

6. Do you think Toby is really dead?
No.  All we saw were tattoos but no face.  I don't think they'd get rid of him that easily.

7. What would you do if A was after YOU?!
I would FREAK out!!!  I'd probably never leave my house.  I've always wanted to be a spy so maybe I'd be like Spencer and figure clues out.

8. Who is your favorite character?

I love Hanna.  She is just so funny and sarcastic.  She reminds me so much of myself.

9. Who you think is behind The A Team?
I've always thought CeCe was part of it but now I'm not sure.  Mona is clearly in charge though.  I don't trust Paige either.

10. Who do you ship?

I really like Ezra and Aria together.  They are just so cute together.  My favorite couple though is Hanna and Caleb.  He really loves her.

11. Most memorable cheesy/stupid moment in the show?
This entire show is cheesy!  The most memorable part for me happened on the latest Halloween episode.  First of all I'd never get on a train costume party when a killer is after me!  You are just setting yourself up!

12. Favorite villain?
Mona!  She is so convincing and you never know what is actually true.

13. Who do you predict will or might become a villain?
Melissa knows something for sure!  She can't be trusted.

14. Which girl do you think has been hurt the most by A?
Spencer most definitely.  I mean her boyfriend worked for A!  It doesn't get much worse.

xo,

Jerica
