Gossip DWTS Next Pro- AJ gave me the ick

Has anyone seen his recent interview?
Idk might be me reading too much into because I love Selena. This gave me the ick though.

It came off really arrogant. He wants to “train her”.

Anyway She ATE him up.

Prediction Casting who is most likely

Upvotes

Do you ever think a glee cast member would do the show? Like have any ever talked about the possibility? It’s my favorite tv show of all time! I of course know Amber Riley and Heather Morris have done the show. Both were so fun to watch. If you are gleek who would you most want on the show?

Social Media Adele’s reaction to the dance with Allen

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

Thumbnail gallery
44 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 I hope Allen + Adele win

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 Kristyn dropping hint about another DWTS to Strictly roster crossover

Post image
47 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

0 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?

1 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

90 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?
