I miss Tom Bergeron! I can't understand half of what Tyra says - for some reason it seems as if her mic isn't tuned properly. I also hate that money could buy her way into the spotlight - I know, I know - it is the way the world works. But Tom was so witty. As hubby says, even Erin Andrews is far better than Tyra.

Good for Derek. He is really having a terrific career.

I think he will be the new Ryan Seacrest.

Really impressed by all of the couples. I especially loved Vernon, Justina, Nev, Nelly, and Kait's dances. PINKHEART

Next week will probably shed better light on who will make it to the finals once TPTB factor in the audience vote, knowing now who the public likes, imo.

I'm still clueless as to who Justina is but I love, love her joy!

Speaking the truth doesn't make it OK though.

I think Tyra has done okay so far -- not great, but okay. It's a little hard for me to judge due to the Covid restrictions. I miss the audience, and I really dislike the set and especially, the garish lighting. Those things are honestly bothering me more than having Tyra on the show. Right now, I think she's finding her footing anyway.

I think overall this is the most talented group of celeb dancers that we've had in a while. Once the show gets past the several easier cuts, it won't be as simple. Even Carole looked decent this past week. As for Kaitlyn, in terms of her talent and abilities, I think she'll make it at least two thirds of the way through the season, and maybe longer.

Agree with you, @Amethyst: It'll take time for everyone and everything to find their groove with all the changes. I'm just really grateful to have the dancing back PINKHEART

“Getting the MRI right now. Yesterday was kind of a write off for me because I was just in pain and kept my foot elevated and just did nothing all day yesterday,” she said in the video. “I don’t want to seem like a baby because I know so many people go through injuries on this show, and battle through, and that’s what I’m gonna do. But I just want to keep you guys posted.”

Bristowe asked for everyone’s “thoughts and prayers” before going through the MRI process. She also shared a photo of herself in a medical gown and reminded herself to not “get claustrophobic” during the scan.After the MRI, Bristowe went home and did red light therapy on her injured ankle. She shared that the scan went well.

“My head wasn’t in the machine, so I felt OK. It was just really long,” the Bachelor alum explained. “But anyways, I’m back home and I won’t find out results probably for a couple days.”

The Spade And Sparrows founder added, “I’m going to rehearse tonight with a brace on and just try and pick up the choreography, because I only have three days now to learn this dance. So, wish me luck there.”
