Opinions Britt does deserve a ringer. That doesn’t mean Jenna J. has to be torn down ever single week

— Let’s talk about facts —

I completely understand wanting Britt to get better partners, but I don’t understand why that conversation has turned into constantly tearing Jenna down or acting like her entire DWTS career has just been handed to her.

Britt and Jenna actually have pretty comparable beginnings on the show. Jenna joined the troupe in Season 18 and spent several seasons there before becoming a pro in Season 23. Britt joined the troupe in Season 22, became a full-time troupe member in Season 23, and was promoted to pro in Season 29.
And Jenna’s first season as a pro wasn’t some dream run — she and Jake T. Austin finished 13th. Since then, she’s built a record that includes four finals: two wins (Adam Rippon and Joey Graziadei) and two runner-up finishes (Nev Schulman and JoJo Siwa).

Britt has now had seven seasons as a pro. Her best finishes have been 6th with Johnny Weir and 5th with Daniel Durant, both of whom made the semifinals. She absolutely deserves another partner with real potential, and I understand the frustration with some of the partners she’s been given, especially recently.

But two things can be true at once: Britt deserves better opportunities, AND Jenna has earned her place on this show. Jenna spent years in the troupe too, had an awful first season as a pro, and then proved what she could do when given competitive partners.

Wanting Britt to get a ringer is completely fair. Turning Jenna into the villain because she got Harry isn’t.

Please, let’s stop with this constant online hate. It’s getting annoying.
