UPDATED:
After a further review of Clark Jones’ flex pick of Vanilla Ice & Witney Carson, it is confirmed that Vanilla Ice has two origins – Dallas and Miami. Therefore Donna Doogan officially has a DWTS pick — Vanilla Ice and Witney Carson. We just learned that we are responsible for posting our picks on all competitions.
ORIGINAL STORY:
As the thirteenth season of So You Think You Can Dance comes to a close Monday and twenty third season of Dancing with the Stars starts, the moderators and for the first time ever on Vote for the Girls, only two villains (one from the red team and one from the blue team) are allowed to participate and make the picks.
Six of the DWTS pros come from the state of Utah… Specifically, the Salt Lake City market as well as nearby Denver, Colorado (the hometown of Kymberly Alvaraz). This time around, Ava Zinn and Kymberly Alvaraz, as they basically DOMINATED all of DWTS 21, The Voice 9 and 10, American Idol 15 (all of them are Double VFTG Victories since the Final Two were not only a Male Flex Pick and a Vote for the Girls pick, they were also chosen by Ava & Kymberly), they got a huge advantage (they did not have to participate in So You Think You Can Dance 13 in addition to DWTS 23 and 24). Ava & Kymberly also got to pick two of our fellow pink team moderators as what I may call a fast pass. We understand why Ava & Kymberly did not choose us as one of their “fast passes” and an opposing purple team moderator decided to challenge us.
Ava & Kymberly chose Nadia Lorenzo after Ava said, “I’m picking Nadia because I believe Kida Burns will likely win SYTYCD”. Let’s hope Ava’s prediction is right come 10:00 PM EDT Monday. The second pick came from Kymberly stating to us, “Ann and Kylie, Ava & I can’t save you and we’ve already flexed out Robert (Vanilla Ice) & Witney (Carson) to Clark. It really is heartbreaking but the pink team moderator that we are giving the second fast pass to and my gut instinct is telling me to go with Holly (Everman) & Perri (Johnson).”
Next was Kathi & Karly Jameson, thanks to a moderator’s challenge that cost Bill Delagatto his season, Kathi & Karly (already the second imported winning moderator with Laura Bretan) by default, also got an advantage by also not participating in DWTS 23 (and potentially DWTS 24 should Linkin’ Bridge or Laura Bretan win America’s Got Talent). Aside from swapping hairstyles with Kathi going from curly to straight hair and Karly pulling a “Lauren Brill” (you’ll know where we’re going with this until you search Lauren Brill or if you followed Ava on Twitter…)–We must say, Karly, if you’re reading this I applaud you, Tracia, Holly, and Ms. Brill for doing something no other news anchorwoman has ever done, in fact we just learned that as of January 4, 2017, NoSirGifts is lifting its decades old hairstyle ban for females and trans-females as long as it is a natural color (blond, brunette, redhead, etc.)–Karly decided to choose Tracia & Hillary Matthewson as their wedding gift (We agree with that decision).
And lastly, the first black female winning moderator–Lanise White, just hours before she went into labor, as her reward for being the winning moderator of DWTS22, Lanise said, “it’s a no brainier. I feel bad for this transwoman that moved to the pink team. (to Kendra Ray) You know who you are.”
Then the moderator’s challenge wheel decider chooses Donna Doogan, after Ava asks her, “Donna, is there any VFTG or Villain pick you want to challenge. I’ll give you $5,000 win or lose but risking a flex pick by doing so.” Donna tells Ava, “Jake and Jenna because I don’t like my pick of Marilu and Derek.” Ava reviews the pick and it doesn’t look good for Donna. “Donna, after a review of the pick, I can say congratulations,” says Ava before Donna replies, “Yes.” But Ava interrupts Donna by congratulating us continuing, “Ann & Kylie, Marilu & Derek is yours as well as Jake & Jenna.” That left Donna with no picks before Ava told her, “You lost the moderator’s challenge and a flex pick — what that means for you is that you now have no DWTS picks. The moderators rules state — and these are rules we’ve had since the site began in 2010 in addition of DWTS in 2014, and I’m quoting from NoSirGifts boss Jackson Steele — in the instance of one moderator with no DWTS picks and is required to participate in the make-up and is not chosen to be saved by the winning moderator and/or in the instance of illness or other health-related matters affecting a moderator’s ability to participate during the fall or spring cycle, that particular moderator must be disqualified for the remainder of the season. Your season, Donna, could end if Tate McRae wins SYTYCD13 (or even perhaps if both Tate McRae and Emma Hellenkamp are both winner and runner-up,)
