  • Derek is a genious!!!

  • Ricki was the best in this season.

  • another masterpiece created by Derek Hough!! A Stroke of Genius!! say what you want ... the MAN just has it - the creativity, the imagination, the vision! Derek and only Derek could create something so incredible considering the difficulty of the music and of the theme! best Tango on DWTS!! and Ricki ...she is amazing. her technique - impeccable! it doesn't matter if you like Derek or not..i assure you: you WILL remember this dance!!! incredible, memorable performance!!

  • This dance should be nominated for an Emmy!

  • Derek would be a good choice if they ever remade the movie of Psycho!

  • tht guy who won this season only won cuz he was in the army

  • The produces obviously gave Derek that track because they knew he'd be the only one who could choreograph a fantastic routine for it. His choreography is just insane.

  • I am going to say that this was the BEST performance by anyone at anytime on this show!!! TWO WORDS....A MAZING!!!!!

  • Haha, Richi freaked the fuck out when she saw the first 10.

  • Almost a "psychotic" performance...fan-dance-tastic­! Wow!!! I have this on my DVR & won't ever delete..amazing thing about this performance, especially recognizable by anyone of an age to be shocked by Sir Alfred Hitchcock: when Carrie Anne said "Brilliance in the Ballroom..Done" she nailed it. As moody, scary as the film's most telling scene...now a tale told by DANCE. Derek Hough, you, too, are a MASTER.

  • He should win an award for that performance.It was superb.

  • He should win an award for that performance.It was superb. 

  • SHE DESERVED TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrsMickeyMouse06 Im very sad she lost! How did she not even getsecond!?!?!?!?!? GRRRR

  • The music does it for me - pairing that with the tango was BRILLIANT

  • this band is awesome! they did a great job with the song :D

  • Ricki Lake can dance just as good as Mel B and Emma Bunton can.

  • It had great footwork and really good posture... I loved it and I think she is a very good dancer with an awesome dancer and a good suspense I agree with Carrie Ann I would indeed give them a 10

  • That guy Derek is the best on the show

    

  • Derek is a genius. hands down this psycho tango is amazing choreo-wise. sorry but Ricki's execution IMO is not deserving of a 10. wish they had this themed tango season 10 or 11...that would have been another perfect night for Derek.

  • BEST TANGO EVER DONE ON THE SHOW.

  • LMAO "No no, my pencil's nicely down although I did lose the lead out of it with the excitement of the dance"

    .....

  • this dance had me from start to finish...Derek is a genius..ricki is one of the best dancers they have ever had on the show..Superb dances every week!!!!!

  • @msm2you yes, it´s the truth. GIVE DEREK EMMY FOR THIS TANGO AND FOR PERFORMANCE IN RESULTS SHOW WITH ALLISON IN WEEK 7 !!!!!

    DEREK WAS EMMY NOMINATED THREE TIMES FOR 4 DANCES AND NOW IS THE TIME !!!!!

  • I don't think any other Pro could have done something this amazing!! Leave it to Derek to make magic:)

  • I am not a DWTS follower ( because I am not in/ from the USA) but Derek is remarkable talented.

    this one was brilliant but when I saw the "Joanna Krupa & Derek Hough Futuristic Paso Doble" I felt chills and my jaw dropped . He is a Genius!

  • Derek is an amazing dancer and choreographer...he makes his partners look good even they don't dance that well ...when he is partnered with someone who can dance like Nicole and Jennifer Grey...all hells break loose...genius(even i admit i am a Maks fan,i adore Derek's routine)

  • Derek is definitely genius choreographer and a pretty decent dancer too! Gosh, I wish I was younger so I could marry him! :)

  • @bevcat33 derek hough is a phenomenal choreographer and dancer. 3 emmy nominations to reckon with.

    what do you mean "pretty decent dancer"?

    sounds like average dance ability of which he definitely is not

  • Ricki is doing a excellent job this routine was like bruno said AMAZING. I Love Derek Hough he is unbelievable he is a brilliant  choreographer and a phenomenal dancer.

  • @anitagorsic82 Why did u delete your reply? If u want to defend him, defend him. Just saying...Watch it, u will see that I didn't make it up..U may not like it or agree, but it's true. Maybe, they planned it that way, but I know she didn't plan it to become violent like that. It became violent on the dance floor..At the end of the dance, she said "That was totally unexpected" (rubbing where he hit her) and u will see Derek rubbing his face where she hit him hard, as if he didn't expect it.

  • STFU 

  • O.k...that was really creepy

  • Between the dancing and the music, it gives me chills

  • they had the best music - hands down. great drama; it's hitchcock after all. that closet case mormon put together a nice choreography also.

  • Never been a fan of Ricki Lake....Derek is THE one in terms of their dancing. He's fabulous...but, aren't we voting on the star, not the professional? And, Derek is not not all conmnected with Ricki. He was so connected with Jennifer Grey....affectionate, warm, even rocking her after their dances. I don't see anything like that with Ricki...Derek is doing his job well, going through the paces, earning his money and doing the best he can for someone who is awkard, cold, and dependant.

  • Brilliant tango!

  • just amazing ...what can you say ...suberb choreography....best partners!!

  • Love all your videos thanks for taking the time and posting them.

    .

    Melidsa

  • Yes, dance a Tango with the murderer who walks in on you whilst you're in the shower, that's gonna go well. ;)

    No, in all seriousness, this is the best Tango I've ever seen!

  • @diamondnora LOL its like those teen horror flicks where they go down a dark room to see what the noise is... but yes, amazing tango!

  • I love this dance BRILLIANT dereks choreography is outstanding his passion for dance is what makes him so darn AMAZING . Ricki did an amazing job as well in the tango ricki is a great great dancer she is doing amazingly well all dereks partners work extra special hard to match derek he motivates them to be the best thats why derek is the best .As for 1 particular pro who is being nasty towards derek well he can stick it he is nothing but a jealous ass who needs some serious ass whipping

  • @anitagorsic82 Ricki's dancing wasn't that amazing..S10 Nicole'sTango was Truly Amazing & Fabulous!!

    And...To Be Cont.

  • @anitagorsic82 You stated: As for 1 particular pro who is being nasty towards derek well he can stick it he is nothing but a jealous ass who needs some serious ass whipping

    Reply:

    What was Derek's problem on S10? Somebody should've whipped his Butt!! The way he treated S10 dwts Nicole dancing The Tango, It was too violent..IMO, He became "PSYCHO" I stop voting, because she looked injured. I couldn't believe Tom,The Judges, pros and The casts didn't say anything about the violence.

  • Comment removed

  • @Davette7ify1 It's called ACTING. The slap and the "violence" you talk about was part of the routine. They were rumoured to have had an affair during DWTS and they are reportedly dating now.

  • @06s091 It's obvious, "Pretty Woman" is abt violence, It was in the opening scenes of the film as she walked the streets of Los Angeles soliciting johns. So yes, Nicole & Derek was ACTING out a scene, the slapped was part of it but IMO, it turned VIOLENT...u can clearly see he was angry when she slapped him hard, at the end of the dance she looks like she was in pain & she couldn't move, b/c her joints wasn't in their sockets. I just think he got angry & manhandled her almost causing injuries.

  • @06s091 If you noticed when Brooke was interviewing them, Nicole said something like, "That was TOTALLY unexpected!" as if she didn't expect Derek to hit her so hard on her buttock, knowing they was acting...And at the end of the dance, It just looked odd to me.

    You're not telling me something I don't already know. I heard/read the same articles, if true, it still doesn't prove anything...Just saying, plenty women are in abusive relationships. This my Opinion & I'm done with this topic. Peace!

  • Comment removed

  • @raggydoll222 NOTHING causes me to see violence where there's none..I KNOW Tangos and Paso Doble's are Intense dances. I NEVER said they wasn't and NEVER said they wasn't SUPPOSED to, NEVER! It is interesting..that I...noticed NICOLE'S shoulder and/or other joints was dislocated..AND that's a FACT! I said it 2 months ago...Nicole & Derek was ACTING out a scene, the slapped was part of it but IMO, it turned VIOLENT...I think he got angry & manhandled her almost causing injuries,

    To be continue

  • @raggydoll222 I said I was done with this topic but, realized people aren’t going to let it go. Derek Fans sure have persistence; I’ll say that for you. Listen up, People! I believe... maybe, MAYBE Nicole had other talents besides, being a singer & an Amazing dancer. Maybe, she put a CONTORTION performance with emotions in the choreography, as well as the personality and acting skills of beautiful, athletic, shocking, sensual style, or she could just be DOUBLE JOINTED.......

  • @raggydoll222 You see, I’ve never given it a thought. I felt Derek MANHANDLED her; b/c she looked like, she was hurt at the end of the dance. Along with the comments Nicole & Derek said during & after their interview getting their scores That's what caused me to see the violence. I remember an interview of S11 Maks explaining to Brandy abt their Tango, and had a change of heart, realizing I was wrong for assuming. I hope that settles it..If not...Take it to the Lord in Prayer. I did, Peace!

  • @Davette7ify1 It´s so stupid raggydoll222. Ricki was OK at the end of the dance. Derek has passion but not on his partners - sorry for my English

  • @Davette7ify1 I responded to your post about Nicole Sherzinger & Derek's tango...3 seasons ago...NOT this performance. You took a comment of Nicole's out of context,,,she said the judges response was unexpected, no more, no less. Pls don't cross-comment here. Let this performance stand alone. Time to let it go. I wish you well.

  • @raggydoll222 Do not… DO NOT tell me, WHERE to COMMENT! There have been many FANS of Derek CROSS COMMENTING and/or COMPARING celebs to celebs, pros to pros from yrs. ago, on other videos. When you responded to my comments earlier, I responded back to you. I don’t know what games you’re playing but I’m not falling for it. It’s obvious, you deleted your comment because; you realized it wasn’t about THIS PERFORMANCE! Read all of my comments.

  • @raggydoll222 Nicole said,"It was unbelievable (while looking at Derek); that was TOTALLY unexpected, thank you"...I didn't hear Nicole say the judges’ response was unexpected. Just saying, Why would she feel the judges responses was UNEXPECTED? Did she think they should’ve seen something that wasn't supposed to be there…? If that what she mean’s. Who knows? But, thank you for TRYING to Clear it UP...Sorry, it didn't work.

    And finally,

  • @raggydoll222 U're Right S10 was 3 seasons ago, people are still watching these videos & I'm NOT the only one comparing seasons to seasons.They're comparing the dances & chemistry of Nicole, Jennifer to Ricki w/ Derek. If u're saying we talked before abt this 3 seasons ago, well u're wrong. If Not, I apologize. Yes u responded to my post, earlier, so Why did you delete it after 6 days? And who said u responded to This PERFORMANCE? Read the comments! I was done, YOU brought it up again NOT Me!

  • @raggydoll222 O-kay, I see something was removed...I don't know what's going on, but I would like for you to read my comment on why I brought Nicole & Derek up in the first place. Page 6, 2 or 3 months ago...That's how felt, before...Peace!

  • @anitagorsic82 And...He's By Far NOT the best Pro dancer on the show...Anything worth doing is worth overdoing- and that's what you guys are doing. Perfection is only possible within an imperfect human mold..Just saying "Stop, idol worshiping" Derek... It's Pathetic.

  • You all are saying how amazing Derek is, which yes he is, but what about Ricki?! That girl has some serious talent!!

  • I love Carrie Ann's face when Derek "kills" Ricki

  • To quote one of the judges ... Derek is A MA ZING

  • Derek is fantastic, talented, creative, hot, etc etc. But mustache??

  • If, and when, they get to the finale, im sure this is going to be their favorite dance of the season :D

  • where does this guy come up with these things i mean i can thin of at least 10 dances that were absolutely AMAZING.

    I<3Derek he's hot

  • @TrAnSfOrMeRgEeK2000 i love your comment about derek's talent as a choreographer....lol. "where does this guy come up with these things"...lol. we at home felt the same way. our first reaction was "how the heck do you choreograph such horrid music score from psycho???...and can she dance to it??

    well,he did the choreography amazingly!!...and ricki danced to it pretty darn well, i must admit.

  • 3:44 I love this bit!

    Derek is amazing.

  • Derek looks really good with a little beard... *droooool

  • Derek's an effing genius. That was a great performance.

  • I can't stop watching this!!! It is so hauntingly beautiful. This is the most entertaining dance i have ever seen. Rickie and Derek are outstanding, and are dressed so sleek and elegant. How Halloween is this?

  • I cannot get bored watching this dance over and over and over. Derek is the best, second to none

  • My O' my... I never said, he wasn't the Best Choreographer, didn't say he don't deserves the buzz. He won those trophies b/c they were great dancers. He couldn't had won them alone. Yes, The song may not been right for the Foxtrot, but the choreographed danced wasn't that great. Bruno said, why the Roger Rabbit? You can't be a genius every week. It didn't Mesh w/ the Foxtrot. The performances was okay, Ricki's technique was not there... Amazing was Lil' Kim, Nicole & Jen.

  • Amazing dance derek fantastic choreography he is a dancing genius thats the reason he has won 3 trophies and emmy nominations and ricki wow she is amazing. Terrible song for the foxtrot this week i agree with that it should of been a tempo. derek puts amazing routines together he deserves the buzz and hype and popularity when someone is that good they deserve praise and yes having great celebs who can dance is a bonus but they both make each other good

  • @anitagorsic82 To be correct...I mean't, Anything worth doing is NOT worth overdoing- and that's what you guys are doing...Just saying "Stop, idol worshiping" Derek... It's Pathetic.

  • Comment removed

  • And I guarantee people here, is agreeing they wrong song for having a not so perfect foxtrot.. Sorry Derek, It was the choreography...why put "the Running Man" in a Foxtrot? That wasn't the smartest choreography.. Then, he was trying to take the blame for messing up the "Running Man" when everyone knew Ricki messed it up..Bruno was like,Okay...I was like, Huh?What? C'mon! I'm so glad Ricki stood there, and told the truth...I'm just sayin'

  • @Davette7ify1 I think that production choose song for Pros and it´s problem for me. And theme 80´s was stupid for this show. I don´t like this theme weeks - sorry for my English. I think Derek is THE BEST CHOREOGRAPHER but song was really bad. I hope next week - better song from Broadway.

  • I think that this was one of THE BEST dances of the season! :) I love Derek! <3 Look, that was a real preformance! That was a show all in one dance! Derek can really create the most magical of things, he's not afraid to take risks with Ricky or with anyone he was parternered up with! He would make them feel comfortable, and show the stars that dancing is very serious work, not just shaking your butt! It is a lot more then that. Derek is a great teacher,dancer and choreographer. Good Luck! :D

  • That was scary! (In a good way, though.)

  • Incredible. Did NOT expect that AT ALL. These bigger girls have really been impressing me! ;). GO RICKI and DEREK! I must also say that this was up there with the likes of the Pretty Woman Tango two or three seasons ago with Nicole Scherzinger.

  • awesome best dance ever

  • Twenty Nine was a fair score. The choreography was a 30 not doubt but Ricki's performance was not pitch perfect. Watch it again and her head turns are awkward (3:47) sometimes and she even had a mistake at least once (3:20) with an extra head turn. Her tradition off the floor or even on the floor was odd at 2:50 BUT the choreography was BRILLIANT. She was great but not brilliant.

  • @flenif2247 I think that Ricki is above great. Sure, not brilliant, but pretty darn close! Also, I get the feeling that her head turns at 3:47 were supposed to be awkward. She was supposed to be displaying psychosis. In my opinion, I think that the head turns went perfectly with the theme/music.

  • fucking len cant be nice

  • Wow... this dance gave me the chills. Absolutely amazing!

  • Derek is a dancing genius!

  • It was great but overscored.

  • At 2:57 in the music, doesn't it remind you of the music from Busta Rhymes' "Gimme Some More" ?

  • BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A-MA-ZING... and a very difficult song to dance to.

  • amazinggg! :) the song is playing over and over in my head... (:

  • He's a genius! Nothing more to say!

  • AwwRight Ricki ! Show 'em what u got!

  • My favorite tango was the team tango with Donny Osmond, Kelly Osbourne, et al...until now. Who'd have thought a tango to that iconic score?! Yes, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was perfect for a paso, but "Psycho" for a tango? Derek is a genius, and Ricki is an awesome partner!

  • I think Len is stupid... IT was amazing!!!

  • They are a great team! He's a superb choreographer...I'm surprised he hasn't choreographed a Broadway show?

  • @llij11 Derek is choreographer music videos, movies and 4 times EMMY NOMINATED choreographer. It´s stunning tango, right :-)

  • Comment removed

  • "Wow, I'm speechless".

  • I am not a big fan of Hough but admittedly this routine was enormously very good.

  • @robrichpo: Plus, Bernard Herrmann's score was absolutely riveting.

  • This is definetly one of the great DWTS performances of all time! It ranks right up there with Drew and Cheryls freestyle, Drew and Cheryls Paso and Helio and Juliannes quickstep.

  • Derek is just the best, I think anyone with him for a partner has a big advantage, Ricki danced it beautifully!!! And did you know all the money she is making here is going to charity!!!!

  • I was honestly against Ricki/Derek the whole season just because I was tired of seeing Derek win each season. I was so sure Derek would finally not win after watching week 1. But they did finally win me over with this dance.

  • 4:06 Carrie Ann's facial expression :D

  • Absolutely BRILLIANT choreography!!!

  • It's pretty simple. Brilliance in the ballroom. Done.

  • Definitely one of my favorite tangos. One of the main reasons I watch DWTS is to see the tangos, and this one didn't disappoint. They did a great job bringing the tension and drama of the dance.

  • Derek always gets the cougars lol or partners that are just a few years older than him! Has he ever had a partner younger than him? I don't think he has haha

    Great dance! I love it!

  • she does something ugly with her mouth that makes me think of the her from that movie cry baby. It's ugly and distracting

  • Who got the encore that week?

  • LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE DEREK HOUGH IS AMAZING GOD I LOVE HIM BEST PRO EVER AND RICKI IS DOING FANTASTIC SHE DESERVES TO BE IN THE FINAL

  • I LOVE U RICKI AND U 2 DEREK

  • ALL HATERS - IT´S WEEK 4 - YOUR J.R. CAN WIN - BUT THIS DANCE WAS STUNNING AND RICKI WAS SO GREAT AND DEREK IS THE MAN.......

    IT´S NOT REASON GIVE DISLIKE, PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now that Chynna is gone it's either Ricki or J.R.

  • I dont want Derek to win eighter

  • @rickgarza95 this dance was beautiful but still week 4 - It´s long time for the finale. But I want Ricki win or JR.

  • Oh and like a c

  • It deserved 9s

  • Derek is fantastic because he never gets a Chloris or Nancy. When he can win with someone like them and not young, a dancer or, someone who has done musicals on film or broadway... Then I'll give him some props.

  • @CandyAppleRed13 WHAT are you serious brooke wasnt a dancer at all. derek defintely deserves props plus you need chemistry with your partner . Derek is fantastic teacher choreographer and dancer he brings out the best in all his partners if ricki lake continues dancing like this she deserves to win not rule out because derek won 3 times. Im a HUGE fAN and to me the show is not worth watching if derek had a dud star hes too good for that.

  • @CandyAppleRed13 They'll never give him a Nancy cause of work like this. EVERYONE loves his choreography and the producers know that so they'll always give him the cream of the crop.

  • @Jjarthon I think Nancy and Ricki are similar type of woman. But Ricki looks really beautiful, she lost very weight (sorry for my English) and she did great job...

  • @Jjarthon Ricki is pretty much the same as Nancy though. She's got over ten on derek and she lost a lot of weight too during this. People are acting like he gets pretty little models when he normally gets someone older.

  • @Jjarthon please explain to me how the producers know if a celebrity will be able to dance just by looking at them?! I am soo tired of hearing this every season that Derek is on. Derek is AMAZING. period. he brings out the best in every partner he has. just because he has won 3 times doesnt mean that the show is rigged, and the producers only give him "good partners" Derek can turn anyone into a dancer, whether its an 18 year old or 60 year old. That's just how great he is.

  • Comment removed

  • @Jjarthon he also is a fantastic choreographer so whether the song sucks or the dance isnt a favorite he always makes it good and entertaining. And I'll add that he does all that with class. He knows he has a lot of fans, he knows he has the most trophies out of anyone on the show, and he still remains humble. And I will also add that his partners always give it their all. Ricki is devoted and that is why she can go all the way.

  • @CandyAppleRed13 Someone not young? Ricki is in her 40's and Jennifer is in her 50's, I would harder say they were young. Lil kim is ten years older than him and Jennie, Brooke and Shannon are more than 10 years older than him. He is rarely paired up with people his own age, even Nicole and Joanna were around 5 years older than him.

  • best tango of the night!!

    derek is a fantastic choreographer and dancer.

  • VERY TRICKY MUSIC BUT DEREK AND RICKI PULL IT OFF GREAT DANCE!!

  • I can't stop watching this dance! I know in past seasons I would vote for the stars who were partnered with Derek... Is that bad? haha!

    Ricki did such a great job! Derek is a great dancer and choreographer! MY GOODNESS!

  • I just can't get enough of this dance it was awesome. My mother got me watching last season when Derek wasn't there, and my mother would always talk about how good he is and now that he's back I get to see it for myself. I just want to say GO RICKI!!! Like how they used to do on her talk show back in the day.

  • y did len give it a 9

  • The judges are always kissing dreks ass i love Ricki lake but all yall that like Derek know that this show is Bius they always promote zDerek Mark and Julianna noone else...its not fair...and im sick of every seasion Derek getting an advantage over everyone...he could have Betty White as his partner and they still would score him high...

  • i love derek and he looked REALLY hot in black

  • Len, you dirty bird! Seems only Tom got the joke.

  • This has to be the best performance I have ever seen on DWTS and I have seen every one.

  • It's not Derek who wins it's the celebrities he's with. That's why it's called "Dancing with the Stars" not "Dancing with the Choreographers." I really loved this dance and Ricki was great. They make a good team.

  • Thanks, Len...You gave them the correct score, and you also pointed out Ricki's neck..It was really in a weird position. Once, again Carrie's so biased. She gave S11 Brandy a nine for her waltz criticizing her neck, which btw wasn't as bad as Ricki's neck. Overall, Ricki did a really good job...Congrats, Ricki you pulled it off.

  • Comment removed

  • @remi4488 Yes Derek is the best choregrapher hands down!

  • Boy I tell ya...if anyone can choreograph a dance to this music it's Derek! Unbelievable!

  • I don't want Derek to win again.

  • @janemansfield73 So should the pro's take turns winning? I wonder if they would tell the celebrities.

  • AMAZING!!!! LOVE IT!!!

  • Derek is so CUTE i can't STAND it!!!!!!!

    and Rikki is amazing :)

  • AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

  • Keep it up Ricki!

  • EEEEEEERIE!!! But fantastic....!

    Happy Halloween from Alfred Hitchcock! NICE job!

  • ALL HATERS GO OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Just beautiful. Love Psycho and the Halloween/Tim Burton feel is strong. I love it.

  • Wow! Their tango was amazing! Derek was genius at choreographing dance as always. There is a reason which he has won three times. He is simply the best dancer and teacher! I can't wait for their next dance!!!

  • @peach1985416 To be honest, the Celebrities Won, because they were great dancers who executed Derek's choreographed dance routines..Yes, he's a great choreographer & teacher, but if his celebrity partners couldn't execute them, they wouldn't HAVE been the winners. People seems to forget this is about the Celebrities. It's called DWTS Not Dancing With The Best Pro Choreographers & Teachers. I'm just sayin' Why make it about the pros? It doesn't matter whose the best dancer.

  • Although I think Derek's choreo was fantastic I don't think that Ricki's performance was for 10. Maybe 9 but not 10 yet.

  • Wait--I have an idea! Let's just call the show Derek Hough's Dancing with the Stars starring Derek Hough! Honestly, all of you blowing the Derek Hough horn do realize that you sound like a bunch of thirteen-year-olds screaming at a Ricky Martin, concert, don't you? And since when did opinions become facts and history??????

  • Okay....I'm tired of Derek the golden boy always winning, but that was too good. Great dance.

  • I really didnt like majority of the dances monday night but Ricki/Derek and J.R/Karina so made it worth it!!! Definite frontrunners for the finale so far!!!!!

  • I think that this was one of THE BEST dances of the season! :) I love Derek! <3 Look, that was a real preformance! That was a show all in one dance! Derek can really create the most magical of things, he's not afraid to take risks with Ricky or with anyone he was parternered up with! He would make them feel comfortable, and show the stars that dancing is very serious work, not just shaking your butt! It is a lot more then that. Derek is a great teacher,dancer and choreographer. Good Luck! :D

  • Best dance of the season so far.. It was exciting and intricate and haunting.. and just plain GENIUS!! Derek has always been my favorite pro.. He's just so amazingly talented and brilliant and knows how to bring out the best in his partners. And Ricki is an amazing person and partner and dancer!! Go Team Ricki and Derek!!!!

  • what brilliant choreography! from beginning to end it was a great homage to Hitch's Pyscho. The ability to combine the tango and a piece of horror movie music demonstrates why this guy wins.

  • I get annoyed when ppl say let someone else win well if Derek and his partner is great then they deserve to win no matter how many trophies he already have it's just ridiculous Derek is a brilliant choreographer and so are a lot of other pros like Maks, karina, Ton,y Mark etc but I think Derek creativity is better If JR wins ok he wins he is a great dancer and Karina is good also along with Derek and Ricki as of Now those 2 are my top 2 for the finale
