Alek Skarlatos Is Heartbroken Over Umpqua Community College Shooting On

“I felt remorseful for not being there – not in the classroom essentially, but rather just not being with my group when it happened”. Tamar Braxton – 27 out of 30 Tamar + Val + Rumba= Excellence. Then, after Bruno gave her a 10, and Bindi came over and hugged him, he lost it. I’m glad I’m not the only crier on the Dancing With the Stars judging panel. Did she get pity votes from the judges? Gary Busey’s looking back at Buddy Holly, while Bindi Irwin will provide an emotional tribute to her father Steve. It’s remarkable that she made it through the routine since she broke into sobs all through rehearsal and following their dance.

“I tried before we left [Roseburg] but he’s just in too much pain still and trying to concentrate on recovering and I understand where he’s coming from”, Skarlatos said of his fellow hero, who is hospitalized in Oregon. Carrie Ann was brought to tears, and told Tamar she felt she’d reached into her soul through dance and storytelling; Julianne praised her for being vulnerable and free; and Bruno thought the couple’s connection was wired to perfection.

Best Moment Ever: Bruno Tonioli admitted that his most memorable year was way back in 1983 when he appeared in Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing” video in nothing but black underwear, a studded belt, and a chauffeur’s cap. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said, “I have a lot of respect for you always”. Nick Carter’s jazz number with Sharna Burgess was dedicated to 1992 when he met the Backstreet Boys and he said they “saved him” from a dysfunctional family that he couldn’t fix. It just seems a bit icy when it should be more. Carlos says he walked in and felt like he was home. Julianne just held up a sign that read “I Love Nick”.

He had quickly headed to Roseburg, Oregon, after learning of the tragedy.

He said his heart was with the people of Roseburg and he hoped to “do them proud” on the dance floor. Andy’s told the story of his mother passing away due to breast cancer, and long story short, that’s how his actual professional musical career began to develop. He and Arnold danced a paso doble to the song, “Wake Me Up”. The judges applauded the theatricality of the routine, which had more plot than the last Fast & Furious movie, but noted that she had a few missteps. “So you won’t see us dancing, but we’ll be there”.

“I don’t feel like what I went through is anything special”, Skarlatos said. The dance was sensational, passionate, and proof that she is only getting better with each passing week. Although he has tried his best and provided plenty of entertainment value, if not dancing technique, Gary and Anna were eliminated. In the end, it’s Gary’s time to leave; although he let everyone know he’s not really going anywhere and that his spirit will remain with his season 21 castmates until the end.
