The ballroom got PERSONAL! 💖🪩 It’s Dedication Night on *Dancing with the Stars* Season 35, and we’re talking all about the dances, the heartfelt dedications, and the moments that had us feeling ALL…
What do you think about dedication?
Yeah, I would say dedication night is not my favorite, typically.
Like, I'm just being honest.
Yeah.
Yeah it's always like emotional and really personal and like less silly goofy than normal.
Ah yeah I know like I feel like the emotions are a little forced.
They would just be as sad as possible and it's like can we all just be a little bit more like Maura Higgins and dedicate our dances to Ireland.
Love that.
Yeah and I went into this episode not knowing if it was going to be awkward.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room.
Val was suspended for a week after his comments.
Kind of aimed towards Carrie-Anne on social media about saying like he was going to go all Fresh Prince on her, whether that means slap her across the face or take my wife's name out of your mouth or something like that, whatever Will Smith said.
He just made it really awkward for everyone involved, for not only Carrie-Anne, but for Jenna and Harry and also Tatiana and Alfonso because they were on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
It's just awkward all around.
Everyone's Well, it was a treat for us because Alan got to step in since Val was suspended.
We got to see our boy dance again.
I was
beaming watching that man dance.
I love
him.
And Alan is such a sweetheart.
And I just thought he's such a sweetie pie.
