I wonder if the fantasy league results are for the league that the show is advertising and promoted is indicative about where voting lays at all. If it is some of the results are interesting. People are betting on Cody having the highest score next week over melora and Christine, Mel c over Jimmie and Matt, Kenya over Olivia and Brian (although shockingly Olivia is pretty close behind while Brian is only at like 11%), and suni is actually leading over jojo and Amanda. also seems a large majority think Martin is out next week (89%)… super curious to see if the fantasy league results will end up matching with votes

That's amazing, I think the whole same-sex pairing for the first time was getting it a lot of attention and views. It's currently trending on YouTube. Suni and Sasha's dance was also trending on YouTube yesterday as well

Jojo has enough fans that despite the FB comments should carry her through for a long while. I really don't see her being at risk until around semis time... thats when I think it could be tricky and could go either way regarding her making it into finals.

I don’t think the judges are gonna give more than 7s tonight tbh. I think it’s just a matter of whether it’s a 2 way or 3 way tie for 1st (with jojo-Jenna still to go)

Sooo proud of suni! Omg like she does need to work on the performance aspect but the dance itself was beautiful

Suni next! Ahhhh

That foxtrot song choice? uhh--- Overall good song choices though. Most looking forward to Suni, The Miz, Cody and Amanda based on the song and dance choices

Did anyone else listen to Lindsay’s podcast today? Her and her friend broke down the cast and predicted who they think will be top 5 which I only thought was interesting because Lindsey said her picks were from meeting people and seeing some rehearsals she was way too obvious including Matt in this lol. But she said in no particular order her picks were jojo, Cody, Matt, suni and Amanda …. Her friend thought suni, Matt, melora, Jimmie and jojo. personally I think you gotta replace Matt with the Miz. I could definitely see some of these people in the top but the Miz is for sure gonna be in there too

My guess is BAG, Cody or the Miz (one or more may end up being good but I think at least one in this group will be in the finals) I think Jimmie will last for a little bit though

1. Suni Lee & Sasha Farber 2. The Miz & Witney Carson 3. Mel C & Gleb Savchenko 4. Amanda Kloots & Alan Bersten 5. Melora Hardin & Artem Chigvintsev 6. Jimmie Allen and Emma Slater 7. JoJo Siwa & Jenna Johnson 8. Cody Rigsby & Cheryl Burke 9. Brian Austin Green & Sharna Burgess 10. Kenya Moore & Brandon Armstrong 11. Christine Chiu & Pasha Pashkov 12. Olivia Jade & Val Chmerkovskiy 13. Matt James & Lindsay Arnold 14. Iman Shumpert & Daniella Karigach 15. Martin Kove & Britt Stewart

I mean Suni isn't a dancer, pretty sure she has no dance training outside of the little bit she does within her gymnastics

I did not know who Cody was before this but based on social media reactions I almost feel like we could end up with a Suni-Cody top 2. I didnt know the peloton community went this hard The Miz seems like hes gonna be super entertaining personality wise which should make for a fun season! He had me cracking up. Suni seems really confident with how her rehearsals are going which makes me really excited for her.

Haha yeah definitely. I actually think the early eliminations may be the most interesting because I see a few clear front runners but a LOT of people I could see being middle of the liners, so it’ll be interesting to see who can come through with their dancing and who the public responds to

With this cast, Olivia jade may actually be eliminated first LOL. Unless there’s a dud on the male side I’m not seeing any real clear dud in here.

Not Gleb getting a spice girl lmaoo

Yeah im not sure I see her getting far (mostly because ive never heard of her lol) unless shes a really good dancer but Im just glad he didnt get a clear week 1 elim this time

So Artem's partner definitely looks like Ali Wentworth to me.

Yeah I agree and it’s not like Sasha is a bad partner, I think he does genuinely care and try to teach his partners. I’ve been wanting a win for him for a minute and I love Suni so I’d love for this to be his year tbh. Plus, they asked jojo for a list right? With Simone and Suni being so close I feel like it’s extremely likely that Suni requested Sasha (or he was at least one of her options).

No offense to them but I feel like some of these celebs (Iman, Olivia) they're casting for the family members it'll bring to the audience But I did read that Iman is actually a decent dancer so at least he may not be as painful as some of the other basketball players to watch lol

I have a feeling Suni is probably with Sasha, and I hope if so he does better than he's done. I think Suni is really loved and popular right now though just coming off the olympics (Adversely when Simone competed she was a year post olympics so may not have had the recency hype that Laurie-- and now suni do) so I think she has a strong chance no matter who she's partnered with. I would be nice to see Sasha win too as he never has before and I always like to see new people win. But yall make good points about Brandon/Suni, they would be adorable as partners.

I'm surprised we've gotten so many of the women and haven't gotten any of the celeb males yet. I hope we get that soon. Kinda hoping for a bachelor/bachelorette free season since we've had 2 bachelorette winners in a row. ETA...spoke too soon Matt James is gonna be on lol I saw last night Suni posted that she was in LA so hoping we find out her partner today!
