Jeannie is out. I hope she’ll be okay. She was doing so well and tried so hard. 

I saw another article that said it was a throat condition they had to hospitalize her for.

I really enjoyed her energy and spirit and hate to see her go, especially like this. I wish her well and a speedy recovery. 

I suppose that means no double-elimination and only one person is going home tonight? 

Since I've only read one article, the original article that was linked said that it will just be a single elimination tonight since Jeannie is out.

[RealHousewife]

Wishing Jeannie all the best. Was a fan of hers before DWTS and really enjoyed watching her dances and love her positive energy. 

[Annber03]

Really sucks to hear that about Jeannie. Such a scary situation-wishing her well!

[babyhouseman]

With all the political news lately, I've forgotten about next week's dances.  I know you all want to know what song Tyra comes out to. Jenny from the Block. Your welcome. 

Icons night

Paying tribute to Britney Spears, Kaitlyn Bristowe (“The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette”) and pro Artem Chigvintsev dancing the Argentine Tango to “Toxic” by Britney Spears

Paying tribute to Janet Jackson, Disney Channel actress Skai Jackson and pro Alan Bersten dancing the Paso Doble to “If” by Janet Jackson

Paying tribute to Madonna, actress Justina Machado (“One Day at a Time”) and pro Sasha Farber dancing the Rumba to “Crazy for You” by Madonna

Paying tribute to Freddie Mercury, Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean and pro Cheryl Burke dancing theViennese Waltz to “Somebody To Love” by Queen

. Afterward, the second round is the Dance-Off Challenge. Two at a time, couples face off against one other on the ballroom floor as they dance head-to-head in the same style at the same time (Justina & Sasha vs. Kaitlyn & Artem dance Cha Cha to “Telephone” by Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé, AJ & Cheryl vs. Johnny & Britt dance Jive to “Cup of Life” by Ricky Martin, and Nelly & Daniella vs. Skai & Alan dance Salsa to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham).

So Nev is excused from the dance-off? (I'm fine seeing less of him, so not that I'm complaining.)

I just saw on Instagram that Gleb and his wife are divorcing. Interesting...

I'm more surprised that they stayed married as long as they did. I don't know much about it but I know Gleb's been accused of affairs in the past and if his dances are any indication it's unlikely his tastes have changed. 

[babyhouseman]

Chrishell is saying nothing happened between them. She must've gotten a lot of accusations on social media.

https://news.yahoo.com/chrishell-stause-denies-having-affair-012248183.html

One of the wife’s friends made a comment on wife’s Instagram post insinuating that Chrishell was the cause. I think the wife is a bit off. She announced the split in her Instagram stories and tagged Lauren Zima and Entertainment Tonight. 

[DEL901]

https://people.com/tv/elena-samodanova-speaks-out-after-split-from-dwts-gleb-savchenko/

[TiredMe]

Now Gleb wife flat out said he is a serial cheater and she can’t take it anymore. And that he was seeing someone currently. Chrishell is going to get more hate I think. 

[McManda]

I feel kind of bad for Chrishell because I don't necessarily think she and Gleb were having an affair, even though I suppose they could. She's just going to be the likely target, true or not. 

I've always felt there was something gross and smarmy about Gleb so I'm not at all surprised by continuing infidelity allegations. It just all tracks for me. 

[RealHousewife]

I don't know that I could be with a professional dancer knowing they have to get so close to other partners, especially on a show like DWTS that has so many beautiful celebs. I feel for Chrishelle. She's a gorgeous girl and people sometimes automatically assume the worst of someone who looks like her. 

[Bliss]

I feel so badly for Gleb's children.

I've always had a squeamish feeling about him. I'm no prude - in fact, I think sex/love-making is wonderful! - it's just his way of making every dance a semi-porn exhibition. He eliminates the beauty and replaces it with yuck.

 

[LexieLily]

Gleb responds

He didn't actually deny the cheating itself, just that Chrishelle wasn't a part of it or a reason for their split.

I thought that was pretty telling. 

[Morrigan]

If this recent affair isn't with Chrishell, then I think Elena has an obligation to say that in the comment section of her Instagram where people were guessing that it was. They noted that Elena usually 'likes' posts of Gleb and his partner after their dances but that after their rumba, she stopped doing that.

And just today, she posted (in the "stories" part that disappear about 24 hrs) a vase absolutely overflowing with flowers (sent from some friends I think) - I mean, how can that not be connected to the big bouquet that Chrishell showed off that Gleb sent her.

Oh well, none of my bees wax. Very sad for the little girls, but hopefully, they'll be resilient as kids often are. Gleb and Elena do seem to care about them very much, going by photos on their social media of family outings and such.

[Emily-D]

Something's not right there, 100%. I'm not jumping to any conclusions, but everything is definitely not what it seems there.

Some nice juicy drama though for the offseason!

[boyznkatz]

Didn't Alan pretend to be the boyfriend of a contestant so she could bang a 17 year old? They of course "broke up" after the season when she started dating said 17-year-old. I don't remember their names, but that stuff seems to happen on this show.

Chrishell and Keo don't look the least bit romantic in pictures. Keo is always kissing her on the head. Who does that? LMAO

Camyrn Manheim's son and the Instagram model. Yeah, that was weird. 

I'm kind of suspicious of the Gleb situation too.

Gleb‘s estranged wife Elena revealed how much money he makes doing "Dancing with the Stars" on court documents. I assume the other pros make relatively the same amount.  https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/gleb-savchenko-earns-400k-for-dwts-wife-says-amid-divorce/

The 30th season will be back with Tyra. Len will be returning with the rest of the judges including Derek. It's sad Tom can't be there for a milestone season. But you'll get to see Tyra model awful outfits. 

DWTS

[deemac]

Guess I still won't watch.  Their mistake, I found I didn't miss  it, though I'd tune in (but not so compulsively) without Tyra.

[friendperidot]

I won't be back either. This was must see for me since season 1. No longer, I can't tolerate Tyra.

[LexieLily]

https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/keo-motsepe-thinks-tyra-banks-did-a-good-job-hosting-dwts/

If they still have to work so hard (A YEAR LATER) to defend Tyra and try and convince the fans to accept her, they should accept the fact that for most of the DWTS fanbase it isn't going to happen.

DWTS Australia is currently doing an All Stars season. Most of the contestants are previous winners from 5, 10, 15 years ago. Lots of great dancers. (And some very attractive men and women!) I've never heard of them as celebrities, but I don't care, the show is a million times better than the last DWTS US. Very little faffing about and lots of dancing. The only bummer is Sharna, Tristan and Craig were not able to be there to be judges so they are using the original judging panel. They are a bit lacking, but still not as annoying as Bruno and Carrie! If anyone wants to check it out and needs help finding the episodes, just shoot me a PM!
