DR Ron Pulliam do you think that Kellie and Derek will win, with Zendaya 2nd, Aly 3rd and Jacoby 4th?
I can't really see it playing out any other way.
I have to imagine that Derek is more popular than Val. And I have to imagine that Kellie is more popular than Zendaya. Add to that the fact that Kellie's freestyle was so amazingly good and I have a good feeling about her winning.
I think that Zendaya is super talented. But last night just showed what a brilliant choreographer and dancer Derek is. Nobody can compare to his level.
I have to believe there is a chance that Derek and Kellie will win. However, we probably won't know until the scores are known from last night's voting. The judges do have the final say, but let's suppose that Zendaya has a voting bloc that votes like fans do for American Idol contestants. Some performers have fans who vote hundreds of times in the couple of hours available to them. This could work for Zendaya and it could work for Jacoby.
I wonder if we'll know the standings before tonight's competition begins. The fan votes are supposedly 50% of the score, so tonight's judging will be crucial. If the judges had to vote last night, I think there's no doubt Derek and Kellie would have landed on top.
Val is a very talented dancer and his choreography has been pretty amazing, especially since it allows Zendaya to use her natural talents. BUT...Derek is the best dancer/choreographer on that show...and his brilliance has been on display the past two weeks. Nothing has topped last night's freestyle...just amazing. His vision, plus his ability to teach Kellie, is second to none.
