I’m no dancer, but surely it’s easier to do most of that stuff in sneakers than in heels. Seems a bit unfair.

I noticed it. It made a number of her dances look really weird to me because she wasn’t in heels (the lines were odd). I wish that someone had explained why they’d gone that direction.

Well, she’s already taller than Val, maybe she wasn’t comfortable with even more exaggerated height difference.

I’m sure he would’ve been fine, being a pro and all.

Zendaya’s final blog and why she’s my all time favorite contestant. It’s really too bad that people can’t elevate hard work, intelligence and perseverance, rather than make excuses for who they vote for.
