DWTS Taymar Braxton

I watched DWTS tonight. Taymar showed up near the end of the show for the group dance but honestly, she looked like she was ready to keel over. She had just been in the hospital. Think she has pneumonia. She has had that bad cough etc for 3 weeks and for her own health she should probably drop out. They had to play her dress rehearsal video since she wasn't there for the live presentation of her dance with Val.

Saw it too. I thought when they were giving scores and they were sitting on the bench that she was going to pass out.

She looked like she could hardly stand up.

She should have pulled out of the competition. A very good dancer went home instead.

I don't think she was really that sick. The show's producers wouldn't have let her dance if she was. I think she's playing the diva role.

She did look like she could barely hold herself up. But, I am so mean. She makes the statement that she is the best dancer on the show, which didn't really go over well. Then bam. So sick we have to have some big drama. I know I should just be impressed that it was so important that she doesn't let anyone down, that she came from the hospital to dance with Val, Nick & Sharna. Dances & then collapses & needs someone to hold her up. I really do hope that she is okay & gets any rest of treatment that she needs. Alexa is good & I liked her & Carlos on together. At this point anyone, except Bindi, is going to go home. Does anyone think that Bindi isn't going to win this? Her dance to Roses & Violets was beautiful. Her & Alexa dancing together was so fun!

I doubt that she was faking it. When she sat down on the bench at the end of the routine, you could see the beads of sweat breaking out on her face (and not normal sweat). She looked like she was about to pass out; didn't have her usual energy. It looked like Val was helping her stand up for the elimination.

I was a bit stunned by the emotion from the married couple when Alexa (?) was eliminated. Come on, it's only a dance competition. I don't think they should have another married couple on at the same time.

I feel sorry for Val. He's my favorite and I don't think they stand a chance now. I could watch him dance all night!

I thought that it was very ironic that she shows up at the last minute, just before she would have to be eliminated. Yes, she looked tired after the dance, but if she was having difficulty breathing, I really don't think that she would have been able to complete the routine. She ticked me off with ther comment several weeks ago that she is the best dancer on the show. She is good, at times, but not the best. Haven't been voting for her since then. She needs to go.

When she was dancing I found myself focusing on whether she was going to pass out rather than her dancing.

I admire her for trying but no show is worth putting your health in so much danger life that!

WE will now need to wait until Monday to see how her health improves or not..

Bad choice for having a married couple compete againt each other just for ratings!!!

She looked pretty sick to me. Her eyes had that glazed over look you get when you have a fever. I can only think she didn't want to let Nick down by not showing up to dance, The show would have done her a favor if she was sent home. I can't see her feeling much better next week when she is clearly run down.

I agree that she didn't want to let Nick down. I wish she and Val had been sent home last night. She just seems too sick to be there.

Val had words with a member of the show's staff after that comment was shown. He was really irritated because he said they took it out of context and they were deliberately making her look arrogant and conceited, when she was no such thing.

I do believe that the crew slant things by only showing bits and pieces that they want. In some past seasons I've thought they were deliberately unfair to some of the contestants. Not the first time a participant (pro or celebrity) has been upset with them for that very reason.

We only see what they choose to show. I'm prepared to take Val's word for what really transpired.

It's Tamar Braxton...

anyway, the whole thing seemed so over the top about how dedicated to the show she is and how brave she is......I don't know but it seemed TOO much......I got a nagging feeling her "team" laid it out to DWTS and told them they better rehab her image or she is walking.........walking pneumonia that is ......she could dance and twirl but couldnt stand ??????? Tom was over the top.......Val was a drama student.....notice Erin didnt join in on the praise...... something is not right here

She is also a Grammy nominated singer! Tamar has an amazing voice! One reason she is so stressed and prone to illness is because she is also touring, in addition to the daily talk panel talk show! I don't know how she does it!

I think when people sign on for DWTS's they should have to commit 100% to the show and have no other commitments. They are paid boat loads of money to be on the show so it's not like they can't afford it!

When they are flying around all over and running like maniacs of course they will get sick, anyone would!

It is not fair to their partners who have to put in so much hard work to teach them and follow them all over trying to squeeze in an hour of rehearsal here and there.
