Gavin DeGraw & Karina Smirnoff - Season 14

[mesachick]

I really hope that he gets the confidence he needs now that he wasn't in the bottom 2. I was so happy for him. He looked genuinely surprised

Me too. He was really happy to finally be out of the bottom 2. So was I!

I felt so bad for him last night. He looked like he had so much fun out there, but then got ripped to shreds by the judges.

I love Gavin, he's so sweet. But the dancing wasn't good, I think if I had to pick someone whose time had come to leave,it would be him.jmho

[lizardcat]

Oh boy. Despite the fanbase, I think it's back to the bottom two tonight...

And hey, Karina, you promised "a lot more skin" this week. All I saw were forearms!

[Florimel]

Gavin was one of the few I did not know before the show started, but I've liked him from day 1. He'll never be a dancer, but he is really entertaining and appears to be a genuinely nice person. I wish him well.

I'm so sad to see Gavin go. Was he the best dancer....No, but he was such a gentlemen and fun to watch. He and Karina seem to have a good friendship and I hope they stay in touch

Gavin was one of the few I did not know before the show started, but I've liked him from day 1. He'll never be a dancer, but he is really entertaining and appears to be a genuinely nice person. I wish him well.

I still hope he comes back to sing on the show. I don't think his schedule was conducive to learning a new dance each week.

[lizardcat]

Sad that I won't be seeing him every Monday, but he had a great run. I especially like that he started out as the guy no one knew and/or liked (because he clearly wasn't the best dancer), but he became a favorite based on his excellent attitude.

I've totally changed my original opinion that this was a bad career move--I think it was risky but very smart in the end.

I am a new fan of Gavin. In spite of his goofy hats the guy is a class act with a great attitude. I think he made the most of his time on the show and I am guessing he has a lot of new fans. I will miss him for the remainder of the season and will look forward to his appearance on the finale. He also said he was open to singing on the show. I would love to see that.
