DWTS INTERACT: From the Skybox (Season 25, Week 4)- Who's Not Going to Make the Cut?!

As we approached the end of the beginning of the season with Most Memorable Year Night on Dancing With the Stars on Monday, we heard emotional stories, saw memorable performances, and experienced Derek and Sharna’s elimination.

With more feedback and stats for this week, here are Paul Bentley and Julia Delbel with From the Skybox!

Hot Topics

Bentley Probably an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely hate slow songs that have a whispery voice to it, and the few songs on Monday that did fit that description made me lose my enjoyment for some of the dances.The songs just came off as creepy to me.

Bentley Also, what was up with all the 8’s this week? These judges seem to like to stick to one particular number and just roll with it every so often.

Week 4 MVP Picks

Most Valuable Pro

Bentley The pros really gave it their all this week, and after some careful deliberation, I think I have to make Artem Chigvintsev my MVP this week! Nikki has got to be my favorite partner of his not only because of how well they work together, but also because of how Artem has been giving her some good stuff to work with. Their Contemporary this week was familiar, yet refreshing, and the silks were used in a way that was artistic and not overwhelming in any way. I always look forward to seeing Nikki and Artem dance every week, and a big part of that is because of how invested Artem seems with Nikki, and because of how top-notch he is as a teacher this season!

Julia I was very impressed with what a great job Emma Slater did at helping Drew stand out with a happy story and dance style that tall men tend to have difficulty executing. Everything down to the bright blue color of the costumes contributed to the memorability of the segment, and even days later I still can’t believe she got not one but TWO tall guys - one of whom hadn’t even danced on the show yet - to do that solid of a Jive!

Week 5 Predictions

Bentley Looking at just the Most Memorable Year Night stories themselves, I think that Drew, Sasha, and Nick fall towards the end of the totem pole. But looking at the grand scheme of things, I think that Sasha and possibly even Terrell are in the most danger. They both seemed to have just fallen through the cracks this week, and in a night with a lot of standouts, that was not a good time to be lost in the background.

Julia Nick is probably going to be saved by another jeopardy boost, and Drew managed to stand out despite having a positive story. Terrell had a breakout week (and so did Nikki, who I know some were worried was starting to fade away) so I don’t see anyone other than Sasha leaving Monday night.
