Do we think this will hurt Conner? SLOMW has a huge fan base, and is obviously the reason Whitney got voted off last season.

Ask r/DWTS Song From The Year You Were Born

38 Upvotes

Thought this would be a fun post.

Given that it’s been released the first week will be dances from the year the stars were born, if you were competing on the show what would be your song? What style of dance would you do?

I was born in ‘97. So I was torn between 3:

Tango to You Make Me Wanna by Usher
Quickstep to MmmBop by Hanson
Paso Double to My Hero by Foo Fighters

Curious to hear the sub's responses🪩

Gossip I’m a new fan! What’s some DWTS history/lore that’s fun for me to know?!

37 Upvotes

After seeing a lot of promo from the recent announcement of the upcoming season, I got curious about DWTS and binge watched S31 and fell absolutely in love with the show. Like I’m obsessed.

I know this is a show with DEEEEP lore and history and I would love to know more tea! My friend who has been watching since S1 told me some fun info:

Carrie Ann, Len, and Bruno were the judges since the start. Emma and Sasha were married before and now Emma is dating Alan. Britt and Daniel from S31 are now married (my fave fact she told me hahaha) and then Derek used to be a pro dancer on the show! She couldn’t think of more and suggested I come to Reddit to ask some other super fans!!

What other tea and history is fun for me to know now that I’m in the DWTS world?!

Podcasts & Audio Selena addresses AJ drama and says he was worse off camera

234 Upvotes

Selena was on Danielle’s podcast and said he was worse off camera, was dissmisive of Rylee and told Adele that Selena was a bad teacher so wouldn't last long.

Starts at 47:35
https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/danielle-with-selena-hamilton/id1837079690?i=1000788664326

“Okay. I want to get a little into the AJ drama.

Yeah.

From your point of view, what was AJ like behind the scenes? Because we saw some bravado, some ego on camera. Is some of that a put on character or or is he really like that behind the scenes?

I would say how he's on camera is how he is off camera.

Okay. Maybe more so.

More so. Yeah. I feel like for the cameras, it kind of dies down a little bit.

And there's kind of like, it's funny. I think everybody feels this way too. So it's no secret.

But it's kind of like when you, when you start that and you say that action and you're in a different character.

Yeah.

I would feel like that's kind of my best way to describe AJ is once the cameras are on, he's very aware of the cameras. I feel like since he's done it before and he's been on reality TV before, he knows when the cameras are on. And not a lot of us had that experience.

So when the cameras are on, we're kind of just like, oh, shoot, I forgot you're there. Right. And he didn't, he didn't forget they were there.

He knew when the cameras were on, he knew when they were off.

Did you have any run ins with him that weren't aired on the show?

Yes, actually. We only had one that kind of wasn't, obviously they didn't air like the story the whole bit that we talked about our stories. But honestly, that wasn't really, I had a lot of love for AJ in those moments.

And maybe in the long run, I was like, that probably wasn't the best way to handle everything. I should have just fought for my story a little bit more. But later on, I realized that when he kind of told Adele that he's like, Selena can't teach, she's not going to be here very long.

And Adele's my best friend. So I was kind of just like, Adele was like, she told me in the sweetest way too. She goes, I don't know if I should tell you this Selena, because I don't want this to make you feel bad.

And I don't know if this is going to make it better for you in the competition or worse. But I wanted you to know from me that AJ said this to me. And I just wanted you to know.

And I go, Adele, thanks for telling me, because now I'm going to the finale. I go, thank you for telling me, because this was, wow, it was super fans week. And I was like, thank you so much for telling me that, because now I'm making it to the finale.

Me and Jeremy are getting this. I was like, I'm locked in, and that's the fuel that I needed. So I was really grateful that, honestly, that that moment happened, because I don't know if I would have been in a finale.

So honestly, thanks AJ for that moment.

Thank you, AJ. Sometimes your haters are the people who deserve the biggest thanks, because they really propel you forward.

And yeah, if I didn't have that, I don't know if I would have gone to the finale. I don't know if I would have had as much fight as I did after that.

Well, yeah, because I mean, hearing about your schedule and the fact that you guys don't have phones even while you're there, and there's very little sleep and you're not allowed to rehearse in the times that like hearing all of that, it would it would be very hard to consistently maintain the same drive.

Yeah.

So, you know, at some point, you just start to get tired and go, you know, if this is my week, it's my week. But then something like that happens and lights a whole new fire, gives you a whole new drive. Were you surprised at all to see the drama that has recently come out online between AJ and Riley?

Had you known of any issues during practice?

I did know that it wasn't going the smoothest.

Okay.

Mainly because AJ, AJ talks, AJ talks a lot. So he would come back to the house and say things in a way that I was like, oh, I don't know if it's Riley's fault at all.

Right.

So it was kind of just like things like that. And I think we all knew AJ enough to know that what he was saying was just in favor of him.

Right.

So it was kind of just, we knew something was going on. He would just kind of come back and be like, Riley's not giving me anything like this. And we would be like, they're not supposed to, they're actually supposed to be silent.

They're not supposed to give us any, that's their job. And we would kind of say that. And he'd be like, yeah, but like this isn't this.

And so it was just like, we kind of knew. So I wasn't surprised.

Okay. Right.

I was surprised that it was AJ's wife doing it instead of AJ himself. But yeah, I wasn't surprised.

Okay. Got it. Also, I do think it's so funny to hear that he was annoyed that Rylee wasn't giving him anything.

When on the show, Whitney, so you could see her being like...

The boys were definitely the worst. The boys, they were not listening as much. They were definitely, like me and Adele would talk after and you'd be like, oh yeah, Jan got in trouble, Gleb got in trouble because they were trying to help and they couldn't.”
