00:00Why is the people's champ of Dancing with the Stars always a man? If the Dancing with the
00:04Stars fan base decides that they don't want to see somebody who has previous dance experience
00:07or someone who comes into the competition looking professional right out of the gate,
00:12I think that that makes sense. I can at least understand the rationale behind that.
00:16But that being said, why is it always that when we're looking for contestants to usher through
00:21almost all the way to the end, whose real only sellable quality is that they're endearing,
00:26why is it always a man? Because like many of you, I am watching this season and I think Tatiana
00:32Ali
00:32got off to a rocky start, but she has slowly gotten better week after week. She's also gotten funnier
00:38in her packages. She feels like she's more comfortable in her skin. She started talking
00:42about the causes and things that make her want to be on a show like this. But then also the
00:46moves,
00:47Yana's getting better as a choreographer and they're incorporating more of their personality.
00:51This is the kind of person we should be getting behind. And yet I'm sitting here fearing that
00:55she will be the next to go for other reasons. But I'm like, guys, this is the person we should
01:02be throwing our support behind. And honestly, I'm going to say it. I think if she were a man,
01:06she would be maybe not a full front runner, but she'd be closer to the top of the pack than
01:11she
01:11currently is because she checks so many of the boxes for what should be a Dancing with the Stars
01:15fan favorite contestant. She is from something beloved. She's getting better every single week.
01:20She's talking about causes that matter to her. She feels like pure joy on the screen. And yet
01:25I'm still over here worrying that she will be the next or one of the next like two or three
01:31to go.
01:32Make it make sense. And I'm not even going to get into the Guillermo of it all. If you guys
01:35want to
01:36support him, whatever. I know that there's a lot of you out there who are like, look at this cute
01:40little middle-aged man who's just trying his best. I will note that Tatiana Ali is about to be 48
01:45and Guillermo's 55. So that really isn't the chasm of difference in age that a lot of people think.
01:50Let's try and remember that when we're submitting our votes for next week. All in all, I just want
01:54to see Tatiana go far because I think she's really starting to figure it out. And it's so much fun
01:58to
01:58watch.
