Are Mauricio and Emma More Than Just Friends?
Let's talk about the buzz surrounding Mauricio Umansky, 53, and Emma Slater, 34, who were voted out on October 31. These two were seen holding hands during a dinner date, sparking all sorts of rumors. Now, they both denied any romantic involvement, but after their elimination, Emma couldn't help but gush about the deep connection they share. She went on to say, "We’re gonna be friends for life." But here's the thing—both are recently single. Mauricio is separated from Real Housewife Kyle Richards, and Emma got divorced from fellow dancer Sasha Farber just last year. It's no surprise this has the competition talking.
According to a source speaking to Closer, people aren’t really buying the "just friends" story. "They’re having a very good time," the insider said. This has got Kyle Richards feeling uneasy. She doesn’t want to believe that Mauricio would disrespect their marriage while they're trying to work things out, but her gut tells her otherwise.
Dealing with the Critics
At just 18 years old, Rylee Arnold is the youngest professional dancer on the competition. Her lack of experience hasn't gone unnoticed, and it's been drawing criticism from some quarters online. "People act like Rylee TOOK something from other pros who have more seniority than her," one supporter chimed in. But here's the twist: her chemistry with her partner, Harry Jowsey, 26, is making waves in the ballroom. "Everyone is working so hard to win this competition," said an insider, adding that Rylee and Harry’s undeniable connection "gives them an unfair advantage." However, Harry is a real champion for Rylee. "Fans are criticizing Rylee and she’s hurt," the insider continued. "But Harry’s there to boost her confidence and tell her to keep her head up."

Why Cheryl and Sharna Were Left Out
Fans were heartbroken when longtime judge Len Goodman passed away at the age of 78 in April. But it left many scratching their heads when Cheryl Burke and Sharna Burgess were not included in the tribute to Len on October 24. As it turns out, these two dance pros had made some enemies along the way. Sharna, 38, didn't sit well with producers when she took issue with how she and her partner-turned-fiancé Brian Austin Green were portrayed on season 30. "I was like, 'Hey this isn’t what we signed up for. If this is what you want for us, you just have to eliminate us because we can’t do this.' And we were quickly eliminated after that," she said.
