So, Terra Jolé
and her Professional Partner, Sasha
Farber, were Eliminated last night from Dancing with the Stars.
Terra & Sasha
Eliminated
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Ouch!
<Re-checking Results>
…. Ow-w-w-w-w-w-w!!
Well, it’s official!
… We’ve officially hit that point in Season 23’s Competition when every
Elimination will hurt! … REALLY hurt!!!
That said, SOMEONE had
to go – Ugh! Can’t they just ALL win?! –
and finishing 5th in Week 10’s Semifinals is certainly nothing to shake a stick at! … Or a Mirror Ball, I guess … Whatever!! You get my meaning!
A truly terrific, historical, and memorable pairing for the
Show, Terra relates her
time spent with her Pro, Sasha,
upon exiting the Ballroom,
“Sasha has been extremely supportive throughout this entire
process … I’m so grateful to have him as my Partner!”
Performing a Rumba to “Scars to Your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara, Terra Jolé and her Pro Partner, Saha Farber, danced their Week 10
Routine.

DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Okay, so maybe NOT her best!
But wonderfully charming all the same!!
Portraying an unexpectedly sweet and story-telling take on
The Dance of Love, Terra’s
first Round efforts, although undeniably flawed at times, still served to
tear-jerking-ly captivate its audiences – A seemingly stereotypical by-product
of ALL of Terra & Sasha’s
more emotional Dances! – and gracefully showcase everything we, the fans, LOVE
about this particular Performer and her Pro!!

DWTS Season 23, Week 10

DWTS Season 23, Week 09
<Whew!>
… If I could just see that Dance again …!!
I mean to say the Glitter Dome’s Firecracker Duo, Terra & Sasha, just blew me
away once more with this Routine, and I LOVED it!!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
Fancy Footwork, STUPENDOUS Lifts, insanely great Choreography, and heavy on the Pizzaz, this Dance
goes down as one of Team XL’s
all-time BEST; and, this Fan, for one,
just can’t get enough of it!!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 09

Overall? Adored it!!

DWTS Season 23, Week 08
Okay, now, how cute was this one??
I absolutely ADORED this Dance; and furthermore, it will
certainly goes down as being one of my personal all-time favorites from this
particular and ALWAYS spectacular,
dynamite duo!!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 08
So, yeah, sure (If you just gotta bring it up!), Terra’s dancing did get just a little out of sync with Sasha
at one or two moments during what was an otherwise STELLAR Performance; but
(and really, now, folks!) upon the whole, fine Dancing, a fun and GREAT
Attitude, and some truly captivating Choreography will never fail to create a Routine that’s scary good, as was the delightful case on
this night (!!) …

DWTS Season 23, Week 08

DWTS Season 23, Week 07
Ladies and Gentlemen, putting “the ‘All’ in ‘Small’” (as
Head Judge Len Goodman so
aptly phrased it on Monday Night!), I give you DWTS' one and only Dancing Perfection in Miniature, Terra, and her wonderful
“Could-he-be-anymore-on-fire?!”-Dance
Partner, Sasha!!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 07
I mean to say,<Ahhhh!!> I LOVED this Dance!
Lovely, Romantic, Charming and pos-i-tive-ly EXQUISITE Beauty in Motion, this
right-out-of-a-Movie Foxtrot was a delighting feast for the eyes with
absolutely NOTHING to criticize!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 07
… So, you know, I
just gotta ask:
WHAT EXACTLY DOES A
TREMENDOUSLY TALENTED AND ELEGANT DANCING LADY, SUCH AS TERRA, HAVE TO DO TO
GET A FRIGGIN' “10” AROUND HERE, HUH??!!!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 07

by Santa Esmeralda, Terra Jolé and her Professional
Dancing Partner, Sasha Farber,
danced their Week 06 Routine.
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 06
We-e-e-ell, I gotta say – though it SO hurts to say it! –
that this latest Dance wasn’t exactly Terra’s greatest!
(Not at all “Awful!” or anything ... just not her greatest!)
Now, now, “don’t let me be misunderstood”, for upon the
whole, I really enjoyed Terra's performing of this Routine; and, the always-incredible Sasha’s
Choreography of the routine was no less than pure genius!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 06
That said, it must be pointed out that Terra's efforts,
though sincere, were overall more worried than fierce.
Even still, Team XL presides as one of my personal favorites within this Competition; and, I can’t wait to see what they can pull out next Week!

DWTS Season 23, Week 05
Closing down Season 23’s Week 05 Competition in all the perfectly lovely
and sap-fest ways, Terra’s execution of this passionate story-telling piece was no less than exquisite, while Sasha's increasingly
INCREDIBLE Choreographing skills once again shined through for the creation of what was truly an enchantingly
fierce and gripping Performance!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 05
(Seriously, who else caught that marvelous Catch and Spin by
Farber?! That was AMAZING, right??!!!)
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 05

Dancing with the
Stars' besotted Pros, Sasha Farber
and Emma Slater, became
formally Engaged on last Tuesday evening, after Sasha popped that ever-thrilling question, following a
romantic Contemporary Routine that was beautifully danced by the duo for Season
23’s Week 04 Results Show!
Sasha Farber and Emma Slater Engaged!
Dancing - rather appropriately – to Pop Music Sensation, Bruno Mars’, Love Song Mega Hit,
“Just the Way You Are” (Can I get a <SHOUT!>-out for exquisite taste?!), the newly engaged Emma reveals it was all a bit confusing at first, according
to etonline.com, explaining,
“As soon as [our dance] was over, I felt his energy get even
worse, like even more nervous then we danced, and I thought that was really
strange,”
And for good reason!
As Sasha, who had subtly slipped the Engagement Ring into his right pants
pocket earlier that night, relates,
“I was dying, I’m not gonna lie. Usually I’m like, running
around and having fun backstage; but, I
was just in the corner [before proposing].” “I touched my hands, and they were sweating,” The Dancer added, “And I was like … I’ve still gotta do this dance. And I’ve got this in my pocket, what if falls
out? I didn’t know what to expect.”
Having finished the lovely, flowing piece in fine form (See,
Sasha? All good so far!), Sasha,
somewhat shyly, planted a kiss on Emma who seemed surprised at the sudden show
of affection but reciprocated nonetheless.
Clearly befuddled at the whole of the affair, Emma then looked
up to see the Show’s Host, Tom
Bergeron, approaching the pair, appearing ever-cool and with casual
ease.… (You dog!)
Attempting to play it off for the cameras while secretly not
having a clue as to why the entire DWTS Cast
seemed to have been suddenly out of their gourd, Slatershared afterwards of the experience, according to usmagazine.com,
“…turns out, lots of people in production knew and I didn’t
know at all and they must of kept it a really good secret, ... Wardrobe had to sew a pocket in his [Sasha's] outfit [for
the ring] and then I was wondering why I had a microphone.I was like, ‘I’m not gonna talk.Why are they giving me a microphone?’ ...”
Upon reaching the couple, Tom then addressed Sasha, who looked to be breathing very
fast, observing, according to ENews,
“First of all, you guys have great chemistry, and Sasha,
I’ve always thought you had the potential to actually host so I’m going to give
the show over to you.”
Strolling off the Ballroom’s Dance Floor, Tom left the
two alone once more as Sasha reached for and held both of Emma’s hands, turning
her to face him.
Light began to dawn then for Slater, 27, who was all at once
smiling from ear to ear and shedding tears of joy.

“… He didn’t even say one word and I think I started to
hyperventilate” she later recalled, according to etonline.com,“And do all that really like, ugly crying stuff, which I’m
sure I’m going to regret, but it was the best day of my life!”
And so began what will, undoubtedly, be one of the most
memorable moments of the young couple’s lives.
“Baby,” addressed Farber with
a grin,“I’ve wanted to do this for such a long time. I love you so, so much!”,
He added with another kiss.
The Ballroom’s live, waiting audience then exploded into
thunderous applause and roaring cheers as Farber, 33, knelt down on one knee,
fumbled a moment when digging out the well-secured ring (Great job, Wardrobe!),
and voiced those four timeless words,
“Will you marry me?”
Sasha Farber and Emma Slater Engaged!
Of course, and barely able to speak for overwhelming joy,
Emma said “Yes!” just before closing the short distance to Sasha, who had
ecstatically leapt back to his feet, and embracing him in a long and
passionate, yet tender kiss, crying and laughing all the while!

Amid a shower of white confetti – And in front of an
over-sized television screen that read, “She Said YES!” … Nice touch, DWTS! - the emotional duo were next surrounded by fellow Pros and
Season Competitors who, led initially by an elated looking Derek Hough, flooded the Main Ballroom’s floor from the
Balcony to offer their congratulations, hugs, kisses, and well wishes.

Also flooding Social Media, many friends and Pros had
afterwards taken to their respective Twitter and Instagram Accounts to offer
further congratulations to the happy couple!
“SO SO HAPPY FOR MY LOVES @EmmaSlaterDance @SashaFarber love
you both so much!!!”,
“ So happy for you two, @EmmaSlaterDance & @SashaFarber! ... ”
DWTS' one and
only 6-time Mirror Ball Champion Pro, Derek,
having already lead the congratulating charge on the couple on Tuesday
evening, later took to Instagram himself to further expound on the subject,
exclaiming,
“SHE SAID YES!!!!
Sooooo freaking happy for @EmmaSlaterDance and @SashaFarber1 . Love you
two so much . … #engagement #joy #love”
Even Sasha’s former, Season 17 Dance Partner, Snooki Polizzi, was heard from,
writing,
“… IM BAWLING. So
happy for my beautiful friends! I LOVE
YOU GUYS! @SashaFarber @EmmaSlaterDance.”
“ It feels like the natural progression.” Emma has recently noted, according to usmagazine.com, “My mum said to me once that marriage should feel natural
and not like a surprise, it should feel expected because that’s when it’s right
… Apart from the new heaviness of my arm, it feels really natural!”
Having been with Sasha for “almost eight years” now – two of
which were spent as “close friends”, five of which were spent as a couple –
according to people.comand usmagazine.com, respectively, Emma has
also additionally summed up the whole of her enamored state,disclosing via her
Instagram page,
“… I’m going to marry the best man on earth. After being with Sash for so many years,
there’s probably nothing he could have said to me [for the Proposal] that he
hasn’t said before … So doing it in a massive way where we could share that
exact moment with all our best friends, my family back at home in England,
Sasha's family at home in Australia and everybody who loves watching the show,
was by far the best ever proposal I could’ve asked for. My surprising[ly] shy at times @SashaFarber1 told millions of people he wanted to marry me and I know how big a deal that
was for him to do that. It was so
magical, I’ve never felt more love in my life.
I don’t know what I did to deserve you but I know I’m SO lucky to have
you @SashaFarber1. Thank you everyone for your beautiful messages, it means so
much! And thank you to @dancingabc for
surprising the HECK out of me! You went
to such lengths. I love you guys like family X”
And what of the ring,one may ask?
“… The sapphire on this [ring] literally changes colour in
different lights, I’ve never seen anything like it, I’m so unbelievably in love
with it!” Emma gushed of her newly donned, pink sparkler on
Instagram, also adding, according to usmagazine.com, “I actually really don’t like pink normally, but it’s the
same color as my mom’s ring. And I like
a vintage dusky rose color, which it is.
The vintage-y style … I love it.”
Of course, in order to pick just the right stone, Emma’s now
over-the-moon Sasha, who reportedly recognized that Emma was “The One” so many
years ago -“probably three or four months after we met” – had faithfully been
observing his bride-to-be, who had unwittingly selected the gem herself!
“She actually went shopping and she picked it!”, revealed Farber, “ I spoke to her [twin] sister and her sister told me where
it was from – and I went there and bought it straight away,”
(<Awwww!>)
And quite a successful campaign too, for Sasha, as Emma describes it, via
Instagram,
“… I can’t believe that’s my [left-ring] finger wearing the
second most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!!”
…
The first, Emma continues on to note, is her Sasha.

another Difficult Dancing Challenge (And demolished it, and Stomped on it, and
Buried it!!) in a fun and zesty Routine that had been so expertly Choreographed
by the ever-AMAZING Sasha!!!
