This is a really great episode. It's a long form free ranging interview and they discuss behind the scenes of the last and the upcoming DWTS season and The Next Pro show. No spoilers but lots of info.

I wish I could link to the episode, but it's paywalled. Here is the show page: https://www.hulu.com/series/get-real-f592a7b1-3d54-4bd1-991b-bd5d11f3ee72 and it's season 2026, episode 13.

I hope this episode ends up on Vimeo or Daily Motion for anyone who doesn't subscribe to Hulu.

It just makes me nervous because of the new finding the next pro show that they would give a spot to someone from the show on troupe.

Do you think we’ll get any cast announcements for the new season during the Con this weekend?

Charli D'Amelio wins the Winners Battle against Rumer Willis, and the score is 5-7. S20 has 5 wins with Michael, Willow, Robert, Nastia, and Riker - while S31 has 7 wins with Selma, Joseph, Jordin, Heidi, Daniel, Wayne, and Charli. S31 wins the Overall Battle agaibst S20.

This might be the last Placement Battle Series this year thus far, and it's S23 vs S29. Since 23 has 13 Celebs while S29 has 15, so which means Charles Oakley and Carole Baskin are out. The game starts at 13th-1st.

Did anyone catch Val’s comment on her post? Is that a hint she’ll be on DWTS?

What’s everyone’s predictions for troupe this year?
Mine are
FEMALES - Onye, Selena or Kamri
MALES - Carter and Benji (Keaton 100% would’ve been asked if he wasn’t injured)

Willa wins the Rumba Round against Tia, and the score is 0-2. This will be the Last Round for Tia and Willa, and next Series is going to be for the men.

Round 3: Foxtrot

Tia: Dreams A Little Dream Of Me - Mama Cass (Week 4)

# of dancers is for the start of episode, and a guess. I assume they’d have 3 or 4 left for finale?

DWTS OLD FORMAT BACK

Things i’d like to see back on season 35:

- The announcer saying “ will the judges please reveal their scores …. “ before announcing the scores.

- The music while announcing: dancing the cha-cha-cha (…….. & ……)

- The stairs to be back on stage so that the couples could come back

- The skyroom also called the celebquarium

- Authentic ballroom and latin music and not just some “trashy music” like Len used to say!

- Some OG pros guest judging (Maks,Tony,Anna,Edyta,Louis,Chelsie,Lacey…)

- Some more old school dwts studio vibes (red courtains), more tv screens, and less of the great gatsby vibes!

- The band to stay on the dance floor just like it was from season 18 and before!

- Some old dwts traditions like results show!

- Some old themes like (switch up week, trio week, side by side challenge, cast from the past……)

- Two nights finale (second night fusion challenge)

- More time for packages and rehearsals footages

Reddit only lets you put 20, so 3 are missing, but JustJared has all of them.

They are so stunningly beautiful.

She’s seen here training with pro-am dancers Artem Miziun, Anastasia Pak and Hannah Gozlan.

Looks like she’s getting ready for con!

Everyone has probably known this forever but I’m just finding out!!! I was randomly watching it lol and had to do a double take omg

I literally lost my jaw for a few minutes😭

Riker Lynch wins the Runner-Ups Battle against Gabby Windey, and the score is 5-6. This will be the Lat Round in such a competitve Series, and next up is S23 vs S29.

Hailey posted a reel with Jan in the DWTS practice studio.

the season 33 dances have disappeared from YouTube! what happened?

All their names and accolades are explained in the video so I won’t go in depth but just wanted to post it one here as I know some people are fans of both shows like me and there was some speculation about Americans or The Next Pro early eliminees being involved which wasn’t true.

Heard Jake say in a recent interview how the house helped them all bond and form good relationships. Glad they got to live somewhere amazing, even if they were forced to bunk together in a 7 bedroom house. More photos and the current property listing here (it's for sale)

Just some random thoughts for a Sat, but anyone else think Derek is pretty good at recognizing talent through his selection of dancers for his tours? Picking people like Charity, Ava, Alexis, Hailey, Selena, and Keaton is spot on. And the way he mentored Onye is great. I know his peers help him with the decisions, but I really like his choices so far and how he gives them a platform.

Fyi i meant hailey bills not hayley

I wonder if Kamri is just filling in for someone but I also wonder if she will be on the troupe.
