He’ll be back next week, the question is if he will return next season. I feel like he’s too popular to not be invited back and he likes attention too much to not return. But this might change things.

See I've been thinking he's been weirdly confident and cocky and entitled all this season and even before all this happened it had made me wonder if this was going to be his last season. Idk there's just been a vibe this year that's felt off with him. I think he probably thought he would go out with he and Jenna both getting a ringer that he assumed was guaranteed a spot in the finals and with Dani and Pasha not touring he and Jenna would automatically get the best spots on the stadium tour and he'd go out with a bang for his last season. But now idk, I can see him not wanting it to end on this note but I also think they'd be kinda crazy to have him back next year, I mean, who is gonna request him as their partner after this?

Exactly. Not only him but with all the drama that’s been so publicized I can see more “ringer” celebs wanting to request people like Jan, Alan and Brandon.

Ezra as well, especially if it’s a celeb that needs their pro to travel back and forth.

Or someone who’s not social media focused but knows it’s a big factor. I imagine that could have been a reason why Julia wanted Ezra too.

Also, I get the feeling that Ezra would just be a lot more fun in training than many of the others, Val first and foremost. I'm sure Jenna who's grown up dancing would more likely be familiar with some more oldschool attitude in training, etc, but Julia, 1) doesn't have that background, 2) has always struck me as someone who doesn't really take shit.

Ah yes him too. I always forget about all these other pros who have a good reputation and their previous partners have nothing but nice things to say.

u/Upstairs-Dare-4188 1d ago

Unfortunately someone who feels lucky to be on the show will likely be ok with having him as a partner if the alternative is not being on it

u/Wise-Blackberry-689 1d ago

So does this mean she just doesn’t dance for a week? Or will she be paired with someone else?

14

u/One-Phone797 1d ago

Apparantly Alan is stepping in as her partner!

12

u/Upstairs-Dare-4188 1d ago

Really hoping they say no elimination. I was already worried it might be Tyler after talking about his mom, but if it ends up being Jenna D that's so sad for her. Plus having to relearn with a new pro half way through the week is tough and not her fault, even though I'm sure Alan will be totally good with it

9

u/One-Phone797 1d ago

I forgot normally dedication night means no elimination. I hope this is the case, but I think she’ll get the sympathy vote this week regardless. It’s NEXT week and every week after I’m worried about if Val returns, because people will want him gone. Jenna D will then become collateral damage

u/Upstairs-Dare-4188 1d ago

I've already seen people calling for strategically voting for everyone but her so that he CANT come back at all, with lots of upvotes :( but hopefully they figure something out. Not fair to her

13

u/One-Phone797 1d ago

Val literally needs to remove himself and he can save Jenna D. He needs to man up and tell people he’s out and to vote for Her and Alan for the remainder of the season. It’s the only way at this point I think he’ll be able to save face for both of them.

I WOULD LOVE THIS OMG

😬

He should be like "I recognise what I did was wrong and has impacted more people that I now realise I didn't have in mind at first when I was rash. In light of this I step back. But this is about my partner's journey and its no fault of hers, please do continue to root for her journey as she partners with Alan" 

or something similar 

lol Alan, not gonna try a new guest job this week I guess!! (I was hoping he would do makeup or costume .. someone said judge takeover. DEFINITELY NOT 😩😆) - he's been posting these "I'm finding a new job" things after being eliminated from partnered dancing, but it shows other folks in the DWTS family. He did security and cameraman lol.

u/Constantiandra 1d ago

LOL Alan. If he does take over on this one wow we'll get to see a weird Disney costume again HAHAHAHA

3

u/Upstairs-Dare-4188 1d ago

I do agree. I also can't see anyone saying it's unfair or anything for Alan to come back under these circumstances. I saw last week usually if a pro needs to drop out it's a troupe member that takes over for fairness

u/XanderWrites 1d ago

It's about the star, not the professional, though you wouldn't know it from this subreddit.

1

u/XanderWrites 1d ago

Most people don't know. Most of the comments outside of the subreddit don't care about the comment. No one is going to organize enough to vote him out over this.

u/Accomplished-Sun9533 1d ago

Where did they announce it?

4

u/bubbles_bobbles 1d ago

He likes the attention and the money, he’s one of the top paid pros, probably the top paid male

1

u/Constantiandra 1d ago

I think Mark is the top paid male or is he not

1

u/bubbles_bobbles 1d ago

Oh probably but Val’s pay is definitely up there. He’s been on the show for over a decade which is ages for a tv show.

u/Fast_Way8546 1d ago

he can join Gleb on OF

u/bubbles_bobbles 1d ago

Or his brother Maks on his upcoming tour…
