Dancing with the Stars: Why It’s Time to Focus on the Dancing, Not the Showmances

As the spotlight shifts to Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars, the recurring theme of showmances is once again taking center stage. In the past, showmances have been fueled by rumors, chemistry, and, in some cases, actual romance. However, it appears that the show is now using this tactic to keep viewers engaged and the ratings high. This season, Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko were the primary focus of the showmance rumors, but their elimination has prompted a shift in attention to Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber.

While it’s understandable that viewers would pick up on the chemistry between Sasha and Jenn, the focus on their potential romance is overshadowing their actual dancing skills. It’s almost as if the show assumes that fans will tune in solely for the chance to see a romance blossom, rather than to witness the contestants’ growth as dancers. This is particularly troubling when you consider that Jenn joined the show as a means to find herself and rediscover her confidence, not to get caught up in a romance.

The judges’ remarks, specifically their questioning of Sasha’s decision not to kiss Jenn during a routine, only add to the emphasis on their potential romance. It’s as if they’re implying that the showmance is the true prize, rather than the dancing itself. The show is also using Sasha and Jenn as the new focal point, touting them as the “backup showmance” to replace the lost chemistry between Gleb and Brooks.

However, it’s crucial to remember that Jenn’s journey is her own, and it’s time to focus on her personal growth and solo journey. Sasha has been an incredible partner, not only teaching her how to dance but also helping her build confidence and come out of her shell. Their partnership may be the strongest this season, but it’s essential to acknowledge that there’s more to Sasha and Jenn’s relationship than the potential for romance.

Ultimately, it’s time for the show to shift its focus back to the actual dancing and the contestants’ journeys. While rumors of romance can be entertaining, they should not overshadow the true essence of the competition. The show should prioritize showcasing the contestants’ growth, skill, and passion for dance, rather than relying on the tantalizing prospect of a showmance to keep viewers hooked.
