DWTS S26: All-Athletes Edition! (i.e. the DWTS thread for NOT yammering about what happened 24 years ago)

It’s not so much screwing, as it making it harder for her to make the finals. Mirai has the disadvantage of being a ringer. It makes it harder for normal viewers to vote for her because they think she has an unfair advantage. Lots of young ladies with great dancing skills have been booted before the finale.

What it takes for a female ringer to make the finale is to be
1. A devoted mother,
2. middle aged,
3. have a huge fan base of millions,
4. have a non traditional body,
5. or a super popular pro.

As you can see, Adam is a shoo in because of his fan base. Tonya is getting the sympathy edit and I expect to see her son on soon so she can shore up the ‘mother’ vote. Football players typically get lots of support. So Mirai could potentially lose to the Luger unless her devoted fans make a plan this week to make dozens of accounts and make a massive effort to keep her on the show.

Tonya won't be playing the mommy card. She doesn't want her son appearing on television. Her husband will be there though (wifey card?). Plus, she's middle-aged and has a non-traditional body. :)
 
Best dance so far, though he had basically zero expression on his face. I also thought he was a bit undermarked last week.

Also, does anyone else think that Witney's face is looking a little different from previous seasons?

I would've given Mirai and Alan all 10s for their Foxtrot! Once again, imo they're holding Mirai down to make the way easier for Adam (and I LOVE Adam but...). Anyway, I loved the fairytale Disney theme and costumes and I LOVE that Nathan is there cheering them on with Meryl!
 
I actually enjoyed Tonya's "Red Neck Woman" number with Sasha. How fitting!

Arike still has those unfortunate hunchy shoulders but she's trying!
 
Better than last week, though I found he did a lot of dancing around her. She had some good rise and fall, though her shoulders were up at her ears.

Everyone is really stepping it up tonight! Jennie is almost certainly going home but not sure about if it will for sure be Kareem who also gets eliminated
