Ouch. Wonder how that will come across/be received....?

I was actually hoping their interaction was positive.

Not that I can afford to talk, because I have had similar struggles, but it does seem Hannah has a hard time taking criticism. Hope she can get past that....

Though of course she has every right to say if she does or does not want to be touched.  

I really wish she could find a niche outside the public eye. Oh well...

Guess she really does need some time with her girlfriends. We all do at times.

The show typically releases a teaser before each episode to bring in the viewers. I’m guessing this will end in some sort of positive resolution at the end of their package since that was clearly abruptly cut off. I’m guessing CAI gets through to her.

With that being said, CAI has been pretty harsh towards Hannah in her comments this season, more so than any other contestant IMO. I think it’s because she knows Hannah’s potential, but even outlets and reaction shows like Afterbuzz have referenced that CAI takes it a bit too far with Hannah. She’s not necessarily wrong with her criticisms, but the way she says it can be a bit much. Some people are more emotional while others can handle it better.

I sure hope you right Ash because this doesn't look good but Hannah did hug Carrie Ann when she came in.  Maybe she didn't want to be touched because she was fixing to cry.  I hope she kills it tonight and her fans come thru for her.  For some reason it looks like they are after Hannah with this video.

@nannymargie there are pictures of the three of them smiling, so clearly it wasn’t all negative. There’s a picture of CAI holding Alan and smiling at Hannah, so I think she has a little heart to heart with Hannah. Given Alan was commenting on those pictures, I think it ended well and we’ll see Hannah and CAI have a sweet moment together. 

Last week CAI posted messages to all of the semi finalists. She called Hannah a survivor, so I think CAI knows Hannah went through a lot this spring and summer and handling that while dealing with anxiety and stress isn’t easy.

I sure hope you are right but it sure makes Hannah look bad. I think she was fixing to cry so maybe that's why she said that. I hope in the end it was positive. I hope Hannah gets the hip action and they kill both dances. Thank God her and Alan don't watch their packages.

@nannymargie I can’t fault someone for being emotional, trying to handle her anxiety, and being in a stressful environment with a woman who has been pretty harsh towards her. I wouldn’t necessarily want to be hugged either in that moment by that particular person so I get it.

As long as they show a positive resolution (which I think they will) then it will be no big deal. At this late in the game, people are going to vote who they’ve been voting for all season long anyway.

I just watched that video, and although what Hannah said looks harsh, I think she was saying it to try and keep her composure. If she would have hugged CA or let her guard down, so to speak, she may have really broken down. I do the same when I get upset.

Laurie Hernandez wrote a nice post saying she might've acted the same if frustrated.

They made it look the worst but hope Ash is right that it will end positive.

It ended up being wonderful. I knew she and CAI would have a moment and connect. Given how difficult the rumba is, I thought they did great and were super connected. Straight 9’s were great! Although I think a 10 should have been thrown in there. 

I have a feeling she’s going to cry during the contemporary. She said that’s what she and Alan were practicing and talking about when CAI walked into the room, so she was already an emotional mess because of that.

I thought the contemporary was beautiful. The lyrics so fitting for what she went through. Glad DWTS helped her put it all behind her.
