Blind Item #20 - The League
Things might not be quite so unrivaled behind the scenes of this new professional sports venture. One of its married founders has been spending an awful lot of time with the much younger star of the league. The younger star also recently confirmed the end of her own relationship. Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans have noticed wedding rings have gone missing, the founder’s husband, who also happens to be president of the league, was noticeably absent from a recent international tournament attended by both women, and a curious social media unfollow has only added to the speculation. With one relationship publicly over, another raising questions, and the president apparently no longer following his own league’s golden girl, there seems to be plenty happening off the court. Funny how a league suddenly has everyone picking sides.
So Leo had a broken foot and Sab’s back never healed because she spent most of her season setting screens for others…and I’m supposed to want to trade everyone.
I understand why teams are tight lipped with injuries but there have to be consequences for W teams blatantly lying about it injuries. Re: Leo and her broken foot.
I take this with a grain of salt without a source but yeah, not surprised. She only came back as fast as she did because of the World Cup and as usual the Libs lied.
I think Jan is funny but I’m certainly not a Jan stan in the sense that I would blindly support what he does season to season. I root for Tatyana. I just will stand up for Jan when I think that family is just being a bunch of bullies.
Also maybe it’s just me but I’ve never been a pro first fan. I root for a partnership because of a celeb. There are pros I like better than others but I’ve certainly rooted for partnerships with pros I don’t like because I liked the celeb.
Like the only reason Jan is being talked about as much as he is is because of Maks, Artem and Gleb so people have stood up for him because of that. Mind you when Maks spoke on Rylee last year the entire internet and most of the pros lost their collective shit as well.
Are people glazing Jan or rooting for Tatyana? Jan is getting credit for being a nice person and good at building a relationship with his celeb but I’d also argue it’s misogynistic to think most people are rooting for him as opposed to being here for his partner.
I’m in no way a Rylee fan but you can’t convince me her hate isn’t fueled by misogyny cause we have a much less talented, much less capable “pro” who can’t even dance ballroom or latin who gets babied and glazed for a mirrorball here just cause he’s a funny white man w abs #dwts
But Maks used to undermine Len Goodman and basically tell him to shut up.
Now Maks is saying…nevermind. The hypocrisy just to hate on Tatyana and Jan is insane. #dwts
Like Jenna D would have been better served storyline wise if the show wasn’t fawning over her week to week. I still don’t think she was ever going to have the fanbase and overcome all of that to win though.
Jenna D was always going to have an uphill battle. When she was cast my immediate thought was she was going to be the shock boot. Audience is not kind to female ringers unless they come in w a fanbase that is unbeatable and/or find some sort of different journey arc.
So the Bachelorettes, Charli (and I’d argue since Charli was young she also had growth arc). Plus I think Jenna’s experience was so far beyond even a lot of our reg ringers. Then throw in her having to deal with Val’s nonsense and perceived favoritism from the show.
@SashaMaynard24 So then tell Val to choreograph better dances for Jenna and maybe she wouldn’t have gone home. Or better yet, tell him not to act like an idiot and piss people off all season.
I also have an inkling that half of these people coming out of the woodwork about how it’s just so unfair about Jenna going home didn’t actually vote for her at all.
@jklovesnat Like someone saying Amber is being underscored is not babying on its own. Pointing out the unfairness of the Tatyana dance off is not babying. Most of us are fully aware these are grown people.
@jklovesnat Are we all babying grown adults? I’d argue no, because rooting for someone and cheering them on is not inherently babying. Pointing out unfair treatment is not babying. Saying things like a 30 year old man is growing up before our eyes is babying. I think words have meanings.
