In the last week and a half, Cheryl Burke and her Dancing with the Stars partner Cody Rigsby tested positive for breakthrough cases of COVID-19.
Since they weren’t injured, the ABC show came up with creative ways to keep them both on the show over the last two episodes. For the first week, they had the judges judge a filmed rehearsal. Then for this week, they danced at their homes on opposite coasts.
Today, Burke gave an update on their future with the show. Let’s start with the good news. The professional dancer is out of quarantine! There’s more; on Friday, Rigsby will fly back to LA. This brings us to the really great news. They will be back dancing in the ballroom on Monday and Tuesday for Disney week!
However, until he is back in LA, Burke will be teaching her partner via Zoom.
I am so happy that they are back in the studio this week. First, because they are feeling better. Second, because I can stop caring about the show again. That means all I have to care about is what ridiculous outfits Tyra Banks will be wearing throughout the episode. I bet she comes out dressed like Minnie Mouse on Monday. Our poor eyes.
Then again, this could all be moot if IATSE goes on strike. If they do, all production in Hollywood will shut down. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
