Also joining in the dancing fun will be none other than Season 21’s 15-year-old Cast member Vine Star and Internet Sensation, Hayes Grier (!), who has been rumored to only perform at “Select Dates”.
Already hitting an incredible 43 Cities all across America and parts of Canada, DWTS has now added “Additional shows”, according to abc.com, due to popular demand (!!), and has also promised even “more casting” and “Special Guest Stars to be announced”!With a one of a kind experience being offered with the selling of the show’s tickets, Fans will also be given the chance of a lifetime to Meet and Greet some of the Tour’s Cast and to take advantage of some additional Photo Opportunities and Exclusive Merchandise!

“This year has been a whirlwind of emotions and activities” Alek has recently observed, according to abc.com; “and I can’t think of a better way to cap it off than to tour America with my DWTS family, while being able to greet everyone who has been so supportive of me during this year.”

“This has been an experience of a lifetime” the American Hero had added; also noting, according to people.com, “Getting to be on this season of DWTS has been incredible; and I can’t wait for the adventure to continue.”

“I’m excited to get out there and perform without the pressure of being scored by judges,” exclaimed Skarlatos.  “Before coming on the show, I’d never danced before and I didn’t know how much work and how much fun it could be.  I’m really glad Lindsay and I will get to focus on the fun part a little more now.”

Of course, Alek seemingly has more than one reason to be “really glad” about joining the Tour, as Season 21’s competing Pro and Alek’s rumored crush, Emma, will be accompanying him on what’s sure to be an unforgettable dancing spree!

 With gossip constantly circulating concerning the pair’s relationship, it should come as no surprise that Alek’s glamorous Los Angeles future remains delightfully unset!

Skarlatos and Slater, Soon to be on Tour and Together

A Relationship-status Update

on Season 21’s Alek Skarlatos

and Emma Slater

Since first performing together in a Rumor-sparking, Romantic Rumba as part of Dancing With The Stars’ always-gratifying Week 05 Switch up Challenge in the show’s most recent dance-filled venture, Season 21,

Alek Skarlatos & Emma Slater
DWTS Season 21, Week 05.

it’s been no great secret that American Hero and Legion of Honor Recipient, Alek Skarlatos, has been head-over-heels smitten by his then Professional partner, Emma Slater.

No, really, Emma actually smote poor Alek smack dab on his beak with her elbow during their Rumba Dress Rehearsals!

“I really wanted to make my mark,” Slater has since quipped of the accident while Skarlatos, who wound up placing in an amazing Third Place overall at the conclusion of the competitive Season, doesn’t seem to mind a bit!

“I think that’s the most fun week I’ve had on the show yet.” He later observed of being temporarily partnered with Emma.

The going gossip is, of course, that these two have been crazy-mad for each other since their first Rehearsal; and ‘tis little wonder, what with Alek having been visibly beaming whenever Emma was around on the show and often making enamored remarks concerning the Pro Dancer’s physical beauty.

It probably didn’t help matters either, that the Couple publicly agreed to a Date, following their Week 05 performance!

“From the first day of rehearsal, we were really comfortable with each other” Emma dished, according to people.com, concerning the Duo’s passionate display on the Ballroom Dance Floor. “Some people just have that energy that you can have a laugh with straight away and just do normal stuff with.”

Much to the dismay of hopeful Fans everywhere, however, the promised “Date” has yet to take place; but, never ones to let an always thrilling Seasonal “Showmance” die quietly, the show’s undaunted viewers have since duly credited this unfortunate fairytale hiccup as being the result of a strenuous work schedule that no doubt reigns during the beloved program’s highly competitive atmosphere each and every Season.

Still, certain romantic outings have been hinted at when, upon being asked, the closely-watched pair described their ideal date to People, “I’ve got a truck and there are some mountains in Oregon,” began Skarlatos, who is a native of the Western State, “So we can go straight up into the mountains in the truck and look at the stars.”  Slater immediately agreed to the starlit suggestion with but one condition: There had to be some “Greek food” present, as well!

But alas! Such movie-quality Dates, or even a simple cup of coffee, have not been sighted by the Couple’s eagerly awaiting Fan-base, though with recent updates on the Alek and Emma’s upcoming, cross-country tour together, excited hopes remain supreme for the Duo’s apparently fabulous future together.

That’s right, dwtslovers, Season 21’s primly painted, romanticized vision of the “Hero and the Dancer” has been made complete, as the two presumed lovebirds are set to Tour America together as part of DWTS’ newest live tour production, Dancing With The Stars: Live! - Dance All Night Tour, set to premiere on Dec. 15th, 2015.

Alek Skarlatos & Emma Slater
DWTS Season 21, Week 05.

And hey, who knows?! Maybe their time spent on the road together will give the hard working pair a chance to work out some more of those Dating Details so that we the Fans will finally get a chance to see these two step out together!

Showstopper Night - 

Dance Duets Round 

With the aforementioned facts, one would think it might be impossible NOT to have loved this dance; and, indeed, it would!

… Unless, of course, you happen to be the show’s less-than-bright-Judges Panel!

“ … I gotta be honest,” began Judge Julianne Hough when the dance was over, “I felt like there was such an opportunity when you guys both danced to do something that we’ve never seen on the show, with two guys dancing together; and, I could have seen SO much more energy and SO much more aggression!  I felt like it was a little bit stale.”

Well, Julianne, I gotta be honest, I feel like you have gone a little bit stale!

Honestly, what more “energy” or “aggression” could you have POSSIBLY been waiting for?!  Were you waiting for WEAPONS to be drawn, or something?  Because it is just a dance, after all, not battle; and, Carlos and Alek’s “Duet” was PERFECTLY energetic and aggressive, thank you very much; AND, I’ll thank you further to remember to keep quiet when you clearly don’t know what you are looking at!

“That’s a big song, and I don’t think you filled the shoes for that song …” Carrie Ann Inaba chimed in, “It’s an operatic song, and I don’t think you had this <banging Judges’ desk> going on in all of you movements.  They looked small, compared to the song.”

<Clearing throat awkwardly> Um, first off, the song, Carrie Ann, is not so much “operatic” as “rock anthem”; and, secondly, you did understand that the “movements”, which completely suited the song by the way, were confined to reflect the live show, We Will Rock You, NOT just the song, as the entire evening’s theme was, as you may recall, SHOWstopper Night!!!

8’s?!!  Are you KIDDING?!!  (And you went on to score Tamar Braxton’s sloppy “Showstopper” Rumba with all 9’s?!! … That is just SO very wrong!)

Good grief, you big, overblown disgraces!  Some Producer had better put you back in your places …
