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.

[raya @raya4]

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.

[raya @raya4]

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.

[raya @raya4]

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

@Tokyo_Gaming_ And he and his crew used to complain about ringers when he and his family didn’t have them.

[E! News @enews]

Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik are a top tier #DWTS duo. 🥹

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.

[raya @raya4]

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.

[raya @raya4]

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.

[raya @raya4]

@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.

[raya @raya4]

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.

[raya @raya4]

@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.

[raya @raya4]

@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.

@krocheee Cry more

[raya @raya4]

@SoCalAmy468 @ChicksInTheOff I don’t know, tell her pro not to threaten violence against women. Or maybe the show should just fire him.

[raya @raya4]

@zoeysptxdwts Yep, I'd be willing to bet he is taking constructive criticism behind the scenes from the other pros, you know when it's actually people trying to help him.

[raya @raya4]

I've honestly never thought of Sheryl Crow as a country singer anyway. This was a hit pop song that was on every pop station.

[molly @keenryanti]

connor wood fans have genuinely invented a new mental illness #dwts

[raya @raya4]

@MeUltraVioletta and honestly I think Artem's partner would have won no matter who she was paired with so I don't really think it was because of Artem.

[raya @raya4]

One thing Maks, Artem and Gleb still don't understand despite being on this show forever, is that people want good dancing, but also respond to partnerships. They understand concept of showmances, but they never understood the relationship are as important as the dancing.

[raya @raya4]

@torturedmore Yes, though I think it took early Derek a hot second to learn that. He was kind of an ass to some of his early partners but I think he figured it out.
