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!  Woman Happy

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.

Re: DWTS Taymar Braxton

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!
