I am sure we will see his signature dance (such that it is) incorporated into some routine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Si42_aY-EU

Thank you. I hadn't seen their photos. I loved her wedding dress - so classy. They didn't post a good picture of the 2nd dress. I'm not a big fan of beading but the beading on that one was breathtaking. The front was modest & the back was open.

Beautiful wedding! Cool that Adam Rippon was a bridesman! Here are some other looks at the second dress:

I absolutely loved the Vera Wang though.
Jenna Johnson’s wedding gowns
Dancing with the Stars’ Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson got married! Jenna wore an elegant Vera Wang gown with custom Bridal Styles Boutique headpieces. For the reception, Jenna changed into the stunning Tony Ward Summer Gown from Kleinfeld. Get her wedding ceremony look for less...

I did too. I don't usually love Vera Wang but that was gorgeous. Jenna mentioned that both dresses needed to be more modest because that's what her mother wanted. But she was drawn to the reception gown the minute she saw it. (I'm assuming because I doubt they always show things in chronological order.)

But all the Trumpturds will be voting for him because they don't have anything better to do other than watch Fox News.

I thought Trump was off on Spicer. Honestly, I can't keep track.

So the show apparently thinks it is fine to screw the West Coast by having voting during the live show. They just made it really easy to skip this Season of a dumpster fire

That totally sucks! So West Coasters pretty much just have to remember to vote between 5-6p their time, when they are all at work, or trying to drive home from work, without even seeing the show. So I'm guessing no 1-800 # voting, so I won't be voting either. If anything starts to kill the show for good, this will be it. If I lived on the West Coast I probably wouldn't bother to watch either since I would already know who lost, I'd just find clips of the dances the next day. I don't understand why they can't have a 30 minute vote out show on Tuesday night so e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e can vote just like in the early days! It doesn't need to be an hour, 30 minutes is plenty. That's really only about 22 minutes of show with commercials so do a all Pro opening number, intro/walk out of couples, Tom jibber jabbers for a bit, then the recaps and vote out. Done in 30 minutes. Big mistake on their part. Big big mistake.

The way I read it, the vote out will be based on the Live voting during the broadcast. So elimination will occur the same night as dancing.
Although I'm going to guess that there will be no vote out on 9/16 since that is the first broadcast and don't they typically not vote anyone out until Week 2? (that is just my opinion, not fact).
ETA: Here is the article I read about the voting. To me this quote means vote out is based on Live voting occuring the same night as the dancing.
‘DWTS’ Season 28: Partners Won’t Be Revealed Until Premiere

I recognize only Ray Lewis (NFL), Lamar Odom (NBA) and Sean Spicer. None of the cast interests me, so I won’t be watching.
I have Directv and I get ABC.

I know they are not announcing the pairings until the first show, but I figure they have to be rehearsing by now. Have there been any mumbles in the dance community about star/pro sightings at any dance studios 'round town?

Didn't they do live voting in the finale last year? And isn't that one of the reasons Bobby won (because his fanbase is mainly on the east coast)...
I think the live voting is a horrible idea, since the show airs in multiple time zones. It can also either benefit or hinder the first/last dancer, depending on whether voting takes place from the start of the show or is just at the end. If it's all show, the first dancer can garner votes longer, last dancer has less time to affect viewers. If it's just at the end, first dancer will be forgotten, last dancer fresh in the minds.

Christie Brinkley is out. She broke her arm over the weekend. 
Sailor, her daughter, is taking her spot and had just 3 days to be ready for tonight.

Darnnit! She was the only one I was looking forward to seeing. Sorry for your injury, Christie. Heal well.

imho the popularity voting is so bogus anyway that when I watch, I only watch to see and hopefully enjoy the dancing and ignore the results.

I was really impressed with Hannah's cha cha (the announcer guy dropped the last 'cha'). Tons of choreography!
And I'm glad that they're apparently going back to expecting good technique and recognizable steps in the dances. I miss the days when they would criticize dancers for breaking hold in the tango and quickstep.

Yikes! When's the last time we saw the 3 paddles?!?!
Lamar was by no means great, but I don't think that was necessarily the right score. And considering his kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes just a few years ago, he's doing fantastic!

Ok, so I think Karamo is going to be the one they nitpick all season. IMO no way in hell did that deserve a 5!!!! I was thinking 8s before they started going off on him. Or at least matching Hannah...

Happy to see Whitney and Peta back but underwhelmed by the male dancers brought in for the season.

So regarding Sharna and Artem, apparently Sharna was let go due to budget (she re-negotiated her salary a season or 2 ago and was making a lot more than the other females.)
Artem though... he was in discussion with the producers all year, and was never led to believe he wouldn't be back. It was just a few days before the cast announcement that he found out that apparently there would be 'no relationship moving forward' so it looks like he's off the show for good.
He was on Nikki Bella's podcast where he said being let go has made him question his dancing skills, and if he's being let go because he's not good enough, and is wondering whether he should keep dancing.

Christie's daughter seems very sweet and she looks so much like her Mom.

Okay, so the cynic in me has to say it ..... who the hell did Artem piss off cause that is just crazy. That 'no relationship going forward' sounds spiteful to me.

Was there a change in the girl Pro lineup? What happened to the new girl? I thought sure they would dump Sean Spicer on the new girl.

Artem has always been screwed over. He's never gotten a partner he deserves. But what a messed up situation.Okay, so the cynic in me has to say it ..... who the hell did Artem piss off cause that is just crazy. That 'no relationship going forward' sounds spiteful to me.
