"DWTS" Finale Recap: And the Mirrorball Trophy Goes To…

What a week in the “Dancing with the Stars” universe, amirite? After we bid farewell to Drew Scott and Emma Slater on Monday (in a surprise to pretty much nobody, despite the duo’s strong performance in a super-fun freestyle that evening), it was time, last night, for Season 25’s Grand Finale. And goodness, I don’t […]

"DWTS" Week 9 Recap: It Takes Three, Baby

We’ll be honest: After 25[,000,000] seasons, we didn’t think “Dancing with the Stars” had any more tricks up its sequined sleeves. But then, last night, the show snapped us out of our spray-tan-fume–induced stupor by bringing back some of our favorite alums for the trio round. Another chance to see Laurie Hernandez and Alfonso Ribeiro […]

"DWTS" Week 2 (Take 2) Recap: Fire Burning on the Dance Floor

Helloooo, and happy Wednesday! Did you realize there was a special bonus episode of “DWTS” last night? If you missed it, fear not—we’ve got you covered, as always.

And the "DWTS" Season 25 Pros Are…

Drumroll, please! It’s crazy to think that it’s “Dancing with the Stars” time again. Wasn’t it just a few days ago that Rashad Jennings was crowned the Season 24 winner? (Tbh, we’re still mourning Normani Kordei’s loss—not to mention Heather Morris’ very, very premature exit.) Ah, how time flies when TV’s crowded with fabulous dance […]

"DWTS" Finale, Part 1: The Top Moments

Wowza. Last night’s “Dancing with the Stars” episode—round one of the two-part finale—was a lot of things. Fully clothed was not one of them. We got a 90-minute show chock full of makeout sessions, bare chests, lingerie, and gold unitards. Oh, yeah, and a whole lotta dancing. This show meant business: Each of the four […]

"DWTS" Week 2: Latin Night

Before we get into our discussion of the steaminess and drama and borderline-inappropriate skin-baring that inevitably characterizes “Dancing with the Stars” Latin Night, some real talk: IS MARK BALLAS OK? Our favorite goofball pro injured his back during rehearsals last week, badly enough that he had to sit out of last night’s performance. And when […]

Presenting the Pros of "DWTS" Season 21

Pretty much the entire universe can agree that Mondays are #theworst. But Mondays starting September 14th? Nope, Mondays are gonna be the best. Why? Season 21 (!!!) of Dancing with the Stars! And to get you even more pumped than you already are, the list of returning “DWTS” pros was just announced—it’s as good as it gets, […]
