My theory was that they were holding off so they could announce it during the Olympics, to capitalize on the spike in interest in skating that accompanies the Games. Obviously that theory has been disproven!

Because they relish the chance to show off their waltz chops, perhaps?

NOW they decide this. Figures :)

Has anyone here seen the show? I’m debating going; logistics are complicated, so I’m on the fence

I’m watching the Junior Worlds women; Mark Hanratty said on air at the start of this group that Chock & Bates have withdrawn from Worlds. FWIW

I agree. They have a special performance quality that is rare in pairs, especially. I’m also a long-time fan

I agree G/P C/B and G/F will likely retire, but I would not be shocked if FB/C decided to do a “victory lap” season next year. They’ve only had one season together! I likewise expect the LaLas to ace the waltz; they are one of the few that I think might have the necessary technical skills.

That would open up all kinds of new choreographic possibilities, too, as sheep have four legs. Custom boots would presumably be needed

I could not agree more!! And the Gilles Poirier “wuz robbed” crew will move on to being convinced that the LaLas are being unfairly underscored

I was just thinking today, I sure hope Chan & Howe get some visibility during the Olympics, because if there was ever an athlete who would utterly own Dancing with the Stars, it’s Spencer Howe.

Have the Olympics alternates been named?

I kind of agree, but think we will know who gets the third dance spot by the conclusion of the RD PS my prediction for the third mens’ spot—Naumov

Saw Rental Family over the holidays and loved it. Best movie I’ve seen this year!

And also serves to emphasize how utterly mystifying all their behavior has been this season. This, too, is a real head-scratcher

Same with Jason, I think
