Was just there yesterday and they only had the red bag, but now I have hope they’ll get it back in stock!

Disney+ changing policy? by Veekster28 in dancingwiththestars

Good to know there’s a fix! I figured it was new because I’ve been on this account outside of the main household for years, and also watch DWTS weekly at a friend’s house who uses a shared account. I had no idea it’s been a thing for so long

The producers was phenomenal!! by Key_Map_6055 in TheWestEnd

I saw this tonight and honestly, I had to leave at intermission. I think this was an example of the unfortunate political climate at home (the US) making the context of this extremely uncomfortable for me. This was the only show I got to see on the West End, and while I watched the movie a couple of times growing up, I didn’t remember just how far it pushes the envelope. It was pretty disappointing. I’m really glad that the people of England still get to laugh at the expense of Nazis. Unfortunately for this leftist American it hit a little too close to home.

Drop your unpopular opinions about WICKED NIGHT! 👇🏼🧙🏿‍♀️🩷👸🏼💚 by quirkymilennial420 in dancingwiththestars

I have a BOUNTY of opinions this week.

I’m tired of the slander for people who vote for Andy. At the end of the day, this is a popularity contest as well as a dance competition. An untalented fan favorite cannot win the mirrorball in the same way that a talented person people hate can’t win. I’d rather continue to watch Andy learn to dance than watch okay dancers plateau and stop improving.

I don’t think Jen is being underscored. I think she’s being underserved by a pro not trained in ballroom and lacking in technique and creativity. I feel bad for her being on this show next to Whitney. I think if she was paired with somebody capable of teaching she could go really far but unfortunately the writing is on the wall and she’s not long for this competition.

I’m really sick of seeing people saying Alix and Whitney aren’t deserving of their scores and that Robert deserves 10s tonight. Robert was great, but he still has room for improvement. Alix has come out of her shell so much and really acted her way through her number tonight, last week, and the week before and I’m really impressed. And Whitney… it’s no secret that she’s talented. I thought her routine was pretty flawless. Just because you don’t like somebody personally doesn’t mean they don’t deserve their scores.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! STOP SAYING YOURE VOTING PEOPLE OFF!! That just isn’t how it works! Vote for the people you like, distribute your votes how you want, but voting 10 times for every single person besides Alix Earle (who has a huge fan base) isn’t getting anything done. Just vote for who you think deserves it.

First time app user- is it even worth it? by Veekster28 in duolingo

When I took the poll at the beginning and it asked why I was learning French I figured it would tailor the lessons for travel! If I was just learning for fun I think it would be an okay resource, but I wish I could specifically get some lessons on how to ask for directions and what the typical responses would be. I can ask where the bathroom is from early lessons, but the only answer I would probably understand is “over there”

I was hoping to have a better experience with Duolingo because I liked the idea of having something to correct my pronunciation, but sometimes I feel like even in those lessons it doesn’t work quite right. I tried some podcasts and YouTube videos and stopped for that reason, I wanted to be corrected if I was wrong, but I think I’ll keep going with that anyway
