On Sunday, Cheryl Burke revealed that she tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19.
Today, her Dancing with the Stars partner, Cody Rigsby, revealed he also has it. Sadly, this is the second time he contracted it this year. However, the Peleton instructor says it is easier this go around because he is fully vaccinated.
So what does it mean for the future in the ballroom? On Monday, the dancing competition asked the judges to judge their rehearsal. However, now that Burke is in the middle of her 10-day quarantine and he is just starting his, he says their fate is unknown.
I have a feeling they danced their last dance. At least for this season.
Tyra Banks wants to be the Belle of the Ball. However, she is the joke of the ballroom. The Dancing with the Stars host wants the show to be all about her, so she wears the most ridiculous styles.
Instead of laughing with her, we are laughing at her. So yesterday, when she wore this Julian Mendez Couture maroon gown, people on Twitter were having a field day comparing it to things like the coronavirus or the little dinosaurs that killed Newman in Jurassic Park. All I see are the annoying paper lanterns you have to put together.
Cheryl Burke was feeling run down yesterday, so she decided to get a COVID-19 test. As she suspected, she has a breakthrough case of coronavirus. Therefore, she has to quarantine for 12 days.
That means she will have to miss at least two episodes of Dancing with the Stars. So, Cody Rigsby, if he is allowed to continue, will have to dance with someone else. They might decide that he has to quarantine too.
There is so much that will have to be explained tonight during the show. For example, judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli are over 65, and Carrie Ann Inaba has an autoimmune disease. Even though Inaba is vaccinated and had COVID-19, I know someone who still had a breakthrough case after getting it and being vaccinated.
There are so many variables that make this scenario different than an injury. So it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
This is Dancing with the Stars’ 30th season, so you would think they would only get the big names for it. You thought wrong. It is so bad they couldn’t even get Lori Loughlin to do it, so they got her daughter to compete. I wonder how much her parents paid to get her on the show. Too soon?
Who else is dancing besides Olivia Jade?
Country singer Jimmie Allen – The only thing I know about him is that he is on Elton John’s upcoming duet album.
Spice Girl Melanie C – Let’s be honest, she is the least famous and most boring Spice Girl.
Christine Chiu (“Bling Empire”) – Never heard of the show or her.
Brian Austin Green (“Beverly Hills, 90210”) – It is good to be dating a dancer (Sharna Burgess) on the show.
Melora Hardin (“The Office”) – C’mon, she was on The Bold Type and has done so much more than The Office. I bet she will be the most graceful one on the dancing floor.
Matt James (“The Bachelor”) – The first African-American Bachelor, and he picked the alleged racist to be his bachelorette.
Amanda Kloots (“The Talk”) – Talk about dancing on her husband’s grave. Has anyone made as much of a career over their loved one’s death as she has? And how can Carrie Ann Inaba be neutral towards her since they worked together on The Talk?
Martin Kove (“Cobra Kai”) – He is the man we love to hate on Cobra Kai.
Gold medal Olympian Suni Lee – Did Simon Biles say no?
WWE Superstar Mike “The Miz” Mizanin – I don’t watch WWE.
Kenya Moore (“The Real Housewives of Atlanta”) – She should be fun. Hopefully, she will put Tyra Banks in her place. Someone needs to.
Peloton star instructor Cody Rigsby – I got my exercise bike on Buy Nothing, so I didn’t know Peleton made stars.
NBA star Iman Shumpert – I don’t do basketball
Popstar JoJo Siwa – What more is there to say about her than we already know and say.
Who are you rooting for? I will go with Melora Hardin because she is the underdog. Especially because there are so many trained dancers on the show. They are Siwa, Kloots, Rigsby, and Sporty Spice.
BTW I am in total bitch mode because I have a migraine. It felt fun to let my bitchiness shine through like a mirrorball trophy.
