4/11 DWTS12 Show Discussion **Spoilers**

[redsox girl]

I just adore Petra, what a delightful human being. I'm rooting for her to stick around because every week she improves. I happned to like the dance and I liiked the ending. Like SR, I'd hate to see her go because part of the enjoyment of the show is not only watching the pros it's watching contestants who are full of life.

Petra is another one who may not be the best dancer ever, but she clearly works hard, and she just seems so genuinely nice that it's impossible not to root for her.

But dang, why wasn't there classical week during Evan's season? If he'd have gotten Carmen...well, he skated to it plenty. He'd have known exactly what to do with it.

Why couldn't Evan have been on a season that didn't have Nicole?

Petra isn't my favorite contestant, but I've grown to like her for the same reasons as SR. She tries hard and wants to be there. I give her a few more weeks, tops, but she can go out with her head held high when it's all over.

I am loving this classical night with the orchestra. I hope they do it every season!

I agree - it makes all of the dances much more dramatic!

[mnmhughes]

Len's "Hot new singles"! Love Tom!!

[Tilden]

Petra is the perfect partner for Dmitry. They're a great pair!

Having had hapless Holly and bossy Mya as previous partners, can you imagine how happy Dmitry is to have the perfectly pleasant Petra as his partner this season?

[karalott]

Sounds like classical night beat rock n roll night last season. That was just a freaky theme that doesn't need to be repeated.

I don't like these new dancers - I want to see OUR dancers out there. Are they in training to take over someday??

I don't like that either.

Too much smoke. They need to fire the guy that hits that button.

To me, the SR dance was to be like they were the couple on top of a wedding cake!

I didn't think Petra really did too much; she seemed to march a lot.

I'd say yes and no. It sounds like they're on reserve if a current pro has to drop out for some reason (hopefully there's not a twist down the road that has the dance troupe switch places with the pros for a night). I like them, and the pros seem grateful for a break. But I agree, I like seeing our pros take to the stage as much as possible. Especially those who aren't paired with celebs this season. It wouldn't surprise me, however, if they're added as pros in the future.
