    I cant belive Bristle is still there?? are people Blind or what, she dances like a trained sheep

  • Zach

    Annie, can you please do Hidden Gems for Skating with the Stars? I’m holding out hope it will be any good, because the next few months without DWTS will be a long dry spell!! (Like Brandy’s dry spell. Dry as ice.)

    • Iris

      Hidden gems for SWTS – seconded!

      • Kristie D

        I will third that motion! This is too fun…I cant see the ice rink having as much sparkle and flesh as DWTS…

    • Ms. Dipesto

      It would be a gem bonanza!

  • Zach

    Bristol took out two of the most likable athletes in the show’s history. I preface this by saying this will be tacky and in VERY poor taste, but if she takes out Kyle, the finals will feature three mothers–one Pistol and two women involved in fatal car crashes.

  • JH

    Nice collection of gems! Glad to see you could still make do without me. ;) Annie, if you’d just make me your official Hidden Gem Intern (you do know that’s an indefinite offer, right? Maybe I could help with the screengrabs… be the screen grabber-er?) then I would HAVE to turn down all other Monday night plans and would never miss this again! I wholeheartedly agree with the MVG, btw. Let’s be honest here, Maks’ butt really is the MVG every week, but we gem miners have to share the love.

  • pancake

    Aw, Annie! So thrilled you mentioned my gem – you just made my week! Thanks and hugs!

  • Tom Bergeron (Yes. Really me)

    Love the Hidden Gems almost as much as hosting the show, although the latter pays better.

    • Annie Barrett

      OMG, TOM. Way to rack up the gems this week. Your comment is making me feel so aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive! From poverty!

      • Angela Mitchell

        Awesome! An actual signal from planet MIRRORBALLUS ITSELF! Annie, I was actually hyperventilating in your honor over that one. Because, like, it’s TOM. Who is awesome. As are the hidden gems. And your recaps. And glittery sparkly things. Cheers! (Oh, and Tom, you rock. Don’t ever change.)

    • LAG Award Winner

      You make the show, Tom! Posted this on the comment section for Monday’s show, but you really deserve an Emmy!

      Since we can’t give him one, I hereby recommend that Annie use her special Planet Mirrorballus powers and granted Tom an honorary Ph.G. — his own Doctor of Gemology!

    • kdubbs

      tom…you are the BEST!!!! (hoping it’s really you on here…) you are the best host of any show ever!!!!!!!!!! we love you!

    • gigi

      Shut.Up. Tom B. reads Hidden Gems!! My crush on you just grew to massive proportions!! I Love You Tom!!!! I’m girl crushing on you too Annie!! :)

    • kimm

      AAAHHHH….TOM!!! Can you feel the love! Chant with me: “Emmy. Emmy. Emmy. Emmy.”

    • KelbelDance

      AWESOME!!! Tom you are the best part of the show! Keep up the good work! We all love you.

    • Kristie D

      OK Tom…you know, to prove this is really you, you need to give us a really awesome HG on next Mondays show…idk, maybe wear a special sparkly patch somewhere or flash one during one of the cutaways to commercial break. We love you!!! Best Host Ever!!

    • Ms. Dipesto

      I agree with Kristie D! We need some bling from you Tom! We love you!!!

    • IAA Jennifer

      Oh, that is such a good idea! Tom must participate in the Hidden Gems! I think a suit jacket pocket outlined in sequins would be a very nice gesture:)

    • orville

      Oh man, my crush on Tom Bergeron just increased exponentially. Tom and Annie definitely have to do an end-of-season, in-office Hidden Gems video together.

    • Verity

      And this is why I love Tom Bergeron! You are THE true gem of DWTS!

      • MLM

        Ditto!

    • JH

      Get. OUT. Tom? Seriously?? That is AWESOME. I am so proud to be a gem hunter right now I can hardly stand it! We love you Tom!!! If Annie could screengrab verbal gems, the whole board would be just full ‘o’ Tom! I agree with the others – you HAVE to participate so we know for sure… maybe not so much a blingy outfit (but if you are game for that, go for it!) but like a secret word or phrase that only us hidden gem hunters will know about. Whaddya think? OK, this week’s secret word is: FRINGETASTIC. :)

    • Katja

      Okay I am working very, very hard to suppress my inner fangirl and seem like a reasonable adult when I say, “OMG I love you, Tom!!!” I really hope that’s the real TB, because Tom being aware of and appreciating the Hidden Gems would be amazing.

      • Annie Barrett

        You silly sallies. It is definitely 100% Pure Bergeron up there. He’s emailed me about it in the past (from his iPad!) Sometimes the hidden gems are his own guests — friends in the front row. Do it, Tom! Sneak us some bling!

      • pancake

        I want to be a front row friend too! Love you lots Tom – you make the show fun!

    • AT

      Any other competition show, I skip right over the host chatter, but not for you, Tom.

      Best. Host. Evah.

      Definitely one of the biggest reasons I’ve kept watching.

    • Michelle

      Tom, you rock! Ever since your days here in Boston we knew you’d do great things. Like getting your tush pinched by Mel B and bringing us videos of people getting other things pinched!

    • Enthusiastic Comment Lady

      Tom’s comment totally deserves a LAG award. Best Host Ever–if I miss one of your comments, I rewind my DVR (sometimes I do that just to hear it again).

    • iggy

      BRILLIANT! Tom knows about the Hidden Gems. That makes it uber cool and kinda surreal. lol Keep up the great work Tom (and Annie)!

    • avab

      TOM!!!! Dying! You are the KING of one liners! Plus, your giggle makes me laugh.

    • DiMi

      I already had a big crush, but when you did the The Charlie Chaplin, it pushed me over the edge. Please more. And the move you did with your arm and the leg kick reminded me of Vince Fontaine from Grease. More dancing Tom, more, more, more.

  • Susan

    Is it wrong that having one of my HG picked is the highlight of my week? Thanks Annie!!

    And Tom, if that is really you, this show would be unwatcheable without you. I think you need an EW blog like the Bachelor host does!

    • Amy in Pittsburgh

      I second a Tom show blog! Can you IMAGINE how AWESOME it would be?

    • EPK

      @ Susan – when one of my Gems was picked a few weeks back, I actually pulled it up in a class I was teaching and showed the students because I was so darned proud!! (I’m a corporate trainer) So “Way to Go”, fellow Gem-Huntress, and feel free to bask in your sparkle and fringe-filled glory! :)

      • Annie Barrett

        This is a total LAG too. Also love “huntress”

      • avab

        @ EPK… I totally understand. The first time my gem was mentioned I almost died. I showed it off at work. Is it sad that this is now my life’s sole ambition? To have a HG mention by Annie?

    • pancake

      @ Susan – I’m having one of those moments too! So wrong that it’s totally right. Yeah!

    • DiMi

      Yes, we must have a Tom Blog immediately.

  • Jeff

    I agree about the Blossom girl– I kept thinking “she must read the hidden gems section, because she’s definitely trying to get on there!’

    • JH

      I know Gems are all about fun and frivolity, so I hate to be a buzzkill, but I seriously think Blossom girl might be developmentally delayed or something.

      • NM

        I agree. I thought she looked like she may have had a disability as well… Not feeling good about making fun of her…

    • IAA Jennifer

      That was my favorite! I’m so glad it made it:)

  • Iris

    Good morning Annie! I’m waking up to TWO of my hidden gems being listed! Thank you and thank you!

    HOWEVER – just about to stop watching the show. Can’t believe Bristol is still there. Mom’s people must be robo-calling. Can anyone truthfully say she belongs in the TOP 4?

  • Lorie

    OH.MY.GOD!! Tom B loves the Hidden Gems. Annie, how utterly cool!

  • MLM

    Glad to be back on the board with a gem and an endorsement this week :) This was a great bunch of gems. Only two more weeks to go!

  • melissa

    I had an idea while watching the Results Show last night. Cheryl and Chelsie were both wearing gold-fringed dresses for the dance with Maks and Tony. I know I’ve seen those dresses before, probably multiple times. Is there anyone keeping track of how many costumes get re-used on this show?

  • queue55

    Wasn’t able to participate in the HG hunting this week but good job, fellow hunters! Besides Annie’s always awesome recap (minus the increasingly vitriolic political based comments that follow) Hidden Gems are the ray of sunshine on my Wednesday mornings! @ Susan, it is NOT wrong for your gem recognition to be the highlight of your week. I was thrilled for days to have a few gems mentioned and now to know Tom (Best.Host.Ever!) actually reads them is the added sparkle on my already shiny day!!

  • Karikata

    3 mentions whoo hooo. Thanks Annie lol.

  • tennisfan

    Love it!
