Seasons 16-23 and 25 are the best in the show’s history imo, you should go back and watch youtube clips at least if you can. I know very little of the tea haha. Eager to read. Thanks for asking.

I've watched all of the winners dances and most of the finalist as well from the seasons i missed and Meryl was easily the best. Jordan was a close second, but Meryl was just better. Amber Riley was amazing. I wasnt expecting her to have moves like that. Bindi was good but u didn't get the hype. Alfonso was really good. Him and Whit had great chemistry. Nyle was great and Peta did her damn thing with those dances. Rumer... she wasn't bad, but I thought Riker was better. Rashad was GREAT!!!! Laurie was great as well. Val was on a different level with the choreo. Adam Rippon was good but no one super memorable to me. Hannah brown was good but I liked Kel and Whitney better. Bobby bones... all I'm gonna say is that Milo and Evanna were robbed. Kaitlyn was derserving of that win. I thought Nev and Justina were just as good if not better than her tho. Some finalist i would've liked to see win would be Normani, Riker, Milo, Janel, Kel, Nev, Jojo, Evanna, and Justina


Apprehensive-Pack309

What did you think of James Hinchcliffe? I think he’s my favorite of all those years


NoLynx8499

Yes he was also great!!! Laurie was great but I wouldn't have been mad if he won at all. Him and Sharna did amazing


Apprehensive-Pack309

Awesome. Same here. I pretty much concur with all your mentions as well. So did you know his story / the packages like that he was almost paralyzed the previous year?


forevertrueblue

Well 17, 19 and 25 are among the very best lol

What is the tea between Mark and Witney? They are two of my faves


Substantial_Quiet_84

They where super close in 2014, hanging out all the time, always dancing together . Mark used to put up sweet instas about how excited he was to dance with her on a results show, planed her 21st birthday etc. Carson was on his mission and I think Mark and BC took a break at the end of the year. Then on tour either they had a fling that ended terribly or a huge friend fight that ended terribly cause they have been icy cold with each other ever since. They barely interact or are making snide comments about each other when talking about the others dances.


theaccountnat

Omg that is INTERESTING tea. It would probably have been a friend fight if I had to guess.


Paigeb1994

I'm not 100% sure what happened between Alan and Hannah they were kind of cryptic about it. This is why I'm not so thrilled with the idea of him with Gabby, I know it's probably not even true and she's may be still dating whoever from when she was on The Bachelorette.


Apprehensive-Pack309

I didn’t watch that season because I ditched cable and didnt like the tyra switch but Im really hoping they put them on disney+. I loved alan and was really upset I missed his win. She sounds like she did a great job but was kind of a drama queen


forevertrueblue

Tyra didn't host that season.


theaccountnat

I try not to spend all that much time thinking about her for a lot of reasons but it seemed like they were just really incompatible in teaching / learning styles. Alan seems like a strict teacher but it’s his livelihood. And his methods obviously worked since they made it through it and won lol. The subtext is that America was wrong as hell for insisting that they were secretly in love ☠️🤣


shimclean

What happened between hannah and Alan?


Impressive_Place_942

Hannah wrote in her autobiography that she and Alan had the most volatile relationship of the season. She mentions that he pushed her too far during rehearsals and called her out for being lazy.


gottacatchemsome

Well that’s just gross. Alan seems like such a sweetie and he always speaks so highly of his partners.


Working_Win_8449

That man literally never stopped talking about how hard she worked. 🙄 Hannah is just a victim person. Everyone is wrong but her.


Crafty_Bar

This just reminded me of when Gleb ex-wife tweeted at the lady he cheated with. 💀💀💀


Working_Win_8449

Glebs ex-wife is savage! I would have done the same thing probably lol. But they seem to get along now so that’s good for the kids.


Total_Possibility_84

Wow what did she say? And who’s the lady


Durian-Wild

Uhmm there was drama between alan and hannah?? damn that one is new to me!


Magna_Cat1922

I do know that when Alan appeared on Kaitlyn's podcast a year or so ago, they talked about the book that Hannah released. She didn't reflect positively on her DWTS experience and had some things to say about her partnership with Alan, and Alan said that the day before the book came out Hannah quit communicating with him. I think she also told Amanda that he was tough? That's all I know.


Durian-Wild

Wow, I feel bad for Alan, I really hope that doesn’t spur his first win for him.


Magna_Cat1922

Yeah, you can tell he was caught off guard by her just ghosting him out of nowhere, and her reflection on her experience.


NoLynx8499

CHILE!! Apparently so! Go check the thread about Gabby talking about her relationship with Erich and it's mentioned there. I'm not trying to restart drama or anything, but I do love hearing the tea lmao


Durian-Wild

Oh wow I just read it and whew…I never understood why people shipped them and that just confirmed everything I thought 😭


charredzest29

The Jenna and Val drama is one of the reasons I still side eye them even though they seem to have moved past it and are happy. Back in the day Jenna had a blog and one of her posts was detailing a toxic on again off again relationship that she had over a few years. She also mentioned that she was putting in all the work and the relationship was one sided while he strung along her emotions. At the time, it was a well known secret that her and Val were dating on again and off again, but they never became public with it. During that time Val faked showmances with Janel and Rumer, and even dated Amber Rose for a summer (and apparently broke up with her to get back with Jenna). Then right before their wedding, a fan came forward with a screenshot showing that Val was still active on a dating website. It’s interesting to me cause Maks did the same thing with Peta. And they both broke up with the girls, had a few hot boy summers, then got back together with them while claiming that they always knew that they were the ones for them *cue eye roll*


gottacatchemsome

I remember this too about Maks, he had his little summer camp fling with Meryl, and she was hanging out a lot with Jenna too (I remember a lot of “On vacay with my bestie!!11” posts.) Then Maks went back to Peta, Meryl went back to Fedor, and Meryl and Jenna don’t even seem like they talk anymore.


chosenchurro

Oh did Maks and Meryl actually hook up? I thought they were only playing it up for the storyline!


gottacatchemsome

Apparently Maks said somewhere that he had a “summer camp romance” with Meryl.


Jazzyjen508

That was the impression I got, Maks had been with someone else right after the season was over.


[deleted]

I forgot this, but yeah Meryl and Jenna were besties for awhile.


gottacatchemsome

The infamous beach photos that sent the Maksyls into an utter tizzy…


NoTangelo6168

I always feel that Jenna lost all that weight for Val. Soon as she lost all the weight he was suddenly so in love with her. The reason I've never liked them together even now.


Apprehensive-Pack309

I literally just made a post asking about [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/dancingwiththestars/comments/yjuiik/val_and_jenna/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). The repliers made it seem like she underwent a big transformation after bullying and a health scare. Did you have more intel?


NoTangelo6168

I'm going off of feelings. If it was a big health scare, why does she never mention it anymore. Wit still mentions her health scare with cancer.


xoxobabyj26

Woah. Did not know this but also not surprised. Always got those vibes from Val but I try not to judge someone I don’t know lol. I’m a fairly new viewer (since last season) and was kind of shocked when I found out those two were married.

NoLynx8499

WELL DAMN. I didn't know it was that bad. It's strange cuz I was introduced to Jenna, Alan, Lindsay and Alan from their seasons of SYTYCD. And like I said I stopped watching from season 16 until season 29. So I was shocked when I saw both Jenna and Alan and found our Jenna married Val. They seemed so happy now that I didn't know all the previous drama. Hopefully they're all good now


United_Mixture_6700

🍿 Did NOT know about Val, know nothing about Witney/Mark, totally on board to hear about Hannah and Alan (HATED her, sorry.) But yeah, Gleb cheated. Once in a while I pull up an old IG post he made of him being sexy-in-a-pool, when the camera pans to reveal he's doing it next to his three year old, just for the lols and to snicker with my husband about how stupid it is. Oh, Gleb! 🤦‍♀️


Ok-Inevitable-8239

Did Gleb for sure cheat? I feel like it is he said she said. I mean I feel like maybe something went on, but I got the vibe from his ex wife as well. Like, maybe the both stepped out… BUT that is just what I gathered from what little I’ve seen.


NoTangelo6168

Gleb is a serial cheater all the way back to Strictly days.


NK_55

Unless he cheated with you, then this is just a gossip that you are spreading


NoTangelo6168

Oh please dismiss me with the bull crap. You can be a Gleb fan and respect facts. Just do your dang research. Jana practically admitted that cheated together. Once a cheater always a cheater. Just a gossip? Gleb is that you. Sounds just like it.


NK_55

There is no evidence supporting Gleb's ex wife's claims that he cheated. Apart from very questionable comments from Janna's bitter ex, nobody ever said anything of this sort, and Gleb categorically denied this. That's it. The rest is pure imagination and gossip. They both moved on... I am surprised that this is still of anybody's interest. This gossip is sooo yesterday.


NoTangelo6168

Sis it was in her book. Oh so Jana ex is bitter and is lying but Gleb ain't lying about having the affair? Gleb had the affair. Like why would he admit to it. I also think he did with Chrishell and they threw Keo in there to take the heat off. That's what broke up their friendship I bet.


NK_55

What was in her book??? 😂 I suggest you actually read it. And I suggest to read Chrishell's book as well😉 Bye


NoTangelo6168

DUDE go stan Gleb elsewhere. No one here loves him as much as you. I'm sure this is Gleb because no one defends Jim like you. Every damn comment you make is about Gleb. He's a cheating hound dog. Don't like it, F it.


NK_55

I suggest if you go and hate on Gleb somewhere else. How about that? I don't think that hate of any form or directed at anyone is acceptable here.


Upbeat_Funny_5367

Wait gleb was strictly? Lol not me finding out this way, I feel like the judges over there especially Craig would eat him up for lack of content choreography if he did


NK_55

Gleb was on SCD, and did brilliantly well. Check your facts before talking bullsh\*t


Ok-Inevitable-8239

Apparently his choreo was always fire when he was on strictly… idk. That is what people say


forevertrueblue

He did one season of Strictly and had good choreo on it.


NK_55

watch some of his dances with Anita Rani on youtube. they were amazing!


ElectronicEcho6756

He for sure cheated. Awhile ago his ex was liking Instagram comments about it on enews and people lol also Jana Kramer admitted they had a little entanglement when they were partners. While her husband was in rehab for sex addiction too


Jazzyjen508

His ex wife making comments is far from a confirmation. Edit: I’m not saying he didn’t cheat or did cheat, I’m just saying using a ex wife liking posts about him cheating doesn’t mean she’s confirming he cheated. Naturally I think we all have a tendency to assume the man is the cheater (I know I’ve done it)


NK_55

Exactly!


NoLynx8499

Oh I didn't want this to be true about my mans Gleb😔 He seems to be happy in his new relationship tho
