Trisha Paytas prefers not to be paired with straight male dancers on Dancing with the Stars.

“And it's nothing against the pros. I just don't know if I love a straight man energy, you know? Especially straight men dancers.”

Ezra Sosa believes that being a professional on Dancing with the Stars requires balancing teaching dance with producing and maintaining a TV personality.

“like dance being a pro on the show you wear a lot of hats like you're not just teaching how to dance you're also like producing you're also like low-key babysitting you have to be like a TV personality”

She claims the show's focus is on entertainment value, justifying the presence of contestants with dance experience because they are more fun to watch.

“At the end of the day, I want to be entertained. So, do I enjoy watching Whitney put on a performance of a lifetime? Yes.”

The voting system for the show is flawed because it allows people to vote for multiple couples instead of requiring a single choice.

“The fact that you and I honestly feel that way in general about the voting and and I I'm going to keep saying it that you should only get I think Andy' still be in the competition about >> you should only get to vote Yeah. You should only get to vote for one couple.”

Mark Ballas says that he would be open to returning for another season of Dancing with the Stars.

“I mean, yeah, I'm open to it.”

Danielle Fishel expresses that she wants and values judges' feedback because she believes it pushes her to improve as a dancer.

“I maintained through the whole time and I still maintain to this day I want feedback. I want you. It makes you better.”

The primary role of the professional dancer during the season is to take care of their celebrity partner and provide them with the best experience possible.

“we have a purpose when we are in season, and it's to take care of our celebrity and give them the best experience possible, and we're also competitive.”
