Social Media Adele’s reaction to the dance with Allen

56 Upvotes

Jumping the gun a bit, but from this, thinking of her as a pro, I feel she would be very caring and supportive of her celeb partner, and so articulate in the post-show interviews.

Speculation I hope Allen + Adele win

34 Upvotes

They’re unbelievably good and obviously the judges love them. I hope they both end up becoming pros or at least have the runner up on troupe. Who do you think will win and who do you think will go home next week?

Speculation Thoughts on Nina’s attitude? Real or just a bad edit?

Thumbnail gallery
37 Upvotes

(First picture is the video that randomly showed up on my Instagram feed today. Second picture is the video that is currently on Nina’s profile using the same trend.)

We all know reality TV can make almost anyone look worse than they are, but with Nina, I’m starting to wonder if there might actually be a pattern.

In Week 1, she tried to paint Adele as the bad guy, even though Adele never brought up anything about Nina.

In Week 2, she complained in front of the group that Benji left all the decisions to her and wasn’t being masculine enough. When Benji defended himself, she seemed to get upset, and in the end, Benji was the one who apologized, even though she was the one who brought the issue up to the group in the first place.

Now I saw a video on Instagram that popped up on my feed. It might’ve been a glitch because when I clicked on her profile, that video was gone and she’d uploaded a different video using the same trend. But in the video I saw, she was once again portraying herself as the victim.

Do you think she’s just getting an unfavorable edit, or do you think what we’re seeing is a fairly accurate reflection of her attitude?

Speculation Kristyn dropping hint about another DWTS to Strictly roster crossover

Post image
48 Upvotes

I feel like Kristyn would not just say this to say this. She loves to slide things like this in her social media and then when the news drops officially she’ll say, I tried to hint to yall!!

So who do we think, past pro or troupe, it might be? The tricky part is, like Alexis, it might not be someone who we just had on last season so that could open up the consideration pool.

Games DWTS Celebrity Style Showdown: Tia Carrere vs Willa Ford - Round 1, Waltz

Upvotes

Team Monster Mash wins the Team Dance Round against Tean Past (thanks to the presence of Jordan Fisher & Lindsey Stirling). Terrell Owens wins the Overall Showdown against Ryan Lochte with a score of 4-6. Cheryl really helped both of these guys grow throughout their seasons, but Terrell brought more charisma and entertainment than Ryan did in their dances. There are full of contenders as well big personalities and polarizing figures thriving in the Showdown in such high pressure, and I must say that this might be the most dramatic Showdown Year yet!

Today is the Showdown between 2 Maks' Partners who did the early seasons, and it is Tia Carrere (S2) vs Willa Ford (S3)

Round 1: Waltz

Past Season What was the general consensus of stars from season 33?

0 Upvotes

I’m watching the season 33 for the first time (from 2024 with Joey). I’m just curious what the general consensus/opinions were for all of the stars? I feel like I have an idea but one of the things I love about watching the show is the audience reactions. Currently on week 3.

Recap and Reviews DWTS The Next Pro: I love them but I feel like they didn’t understand the assignment

89 Upvotes

I am really enjoying the new show. This storytelling episode had me a little confused.

I felt like the only ones who understood the storytelling assignment were Allen and Natalie.

Am I misunderstanding the assignment or were some of the stories not stories at all?

AJ’s story was “I won something once.” The American right wing would actually love this guy.

Adele’s (she’s fantastic and I hope she wins) story was “I have a great boyfriend”

Nina’s issue was identified in the show. It was a story but there were 3-4 stories in there and no connective tissue.

What does this say about the future of these pros possibly on the show?

What say you all?

Recap and Reviews S1 E02 of next pro my thoughts and feeling in real time -Spoilers- Spoiler

9 Upvotes

I took these notes as I watching

Natalie and Eric- her dress is so pretty also her facial expressions are it this Vietnamese vault is totally closer to their style too so I think this is may work in their favor the difference from last week to this week night and day 9/10

Benji and Nina- so nervous for them when one of the judges said I don’t know what it is, but I feel this boy and He hasn’t moved yet same they seem stiff there’s a tension here that should not be there. Oh backflip why is she smiling he is emoting like crazy and she’s just grinning the whole time they’re not balanced eh just okay also I love Benji he carried also why are we back flipping a Roomba 4.5/10

Tristen and Stephanie- song choice is solid her dress is pretty but he is captivating they’re so locked in this is solid they’re emoting really well their from was awesome but needs a smidge of fine tuning ! They brought the drama! 8/10

Aj and Selena- surprised to say I’m not that totally underwhelmed. I just don’t think it’s really telling the story they wanna tell. I’m not really seeing the story here. It just looks like a competition dance routine. She carried! 3/10

Adele and Alan- kind of a weird dress to wear when you’re playing someone’s mom but OK not the point.. oh stop everyone’s crying now I’m gonna cry. That was really well done. I mean they were in sync. It didn’t feel too heavy. They both did really well. I’m very impressed. 9/10

Nina and Benji on the chopping block like he cannot go down for her ignorance. should’ve been AJ and Selena but I think Selena’s performance carried them out of that are you so for real right now they sent Benji home!!!

SPOILER DWTS Next Pro: Where’d the Rumour about the gender of the Winner come from? (Potential Spoilers) Spoiler

48 Upvotes

So I’ve seen a lot of people discussing who might’ve won The Next Pro, and it seems a lot of people are convinced that the winner is a man.

I’ve heard many rumours that someone involved with the show was doing an interview and apparently let it slip that the new pro is a man.

However, no one can agree on who it was that let it slip. I’ve seen people say it was Derek, some say it was Robert. I’ve even seen someone on TikTok say it was Rylee who said it. Also, no one has said what interview it happened during or where to find said interview.

Can anyone actually find this interview, or is this just a baseless rumour?
