A ‘DWTS’ newbie isn’t winning over fans even if she does have too much of her partner’s attention

Brooks Nader, a model known for her stunning looks, has taken a leap into the world of dance by competing on Dancing With the Stars Season 33. However, her journey hasn’t been without controversy. Despite her best efforts, one of her final performances—a salsa routine featuring a two-piece cowgirl-inspired outfit—has drawn criticism from viewers.

In Week 4 of the ABC dance competition, Brooks performed alongside her three sisters. While her partner, professional dancer Gleb Savchenko, praised their routine and shared a clip on Instagram, the response from fans was overwhelmingly negative. Many comments labeled the dance as lacking emotion and criticized its sexualized nature.

For instance, one viewer remarked, “I think it was a stupid dedication dance. No emotion,” while another pointed out, “People were tired of it being so sexualized.” Despite some fans expressing shock over her elimination and praising her improvement, others were less forgiving, with comments like “That’s the WORST dance that I have ever seen on this show” and “This is probably the worst dance of the season.” Harsh critiques, indeed!

Interestingly, some fans seemed more interested in Brooks and Gleb’s budding romance than their dancing. The couple has embraced their chemistry, even getting matching tattoos during the competition. Nader has been tight-lipped about the design but mentioned it holds special meaning, hinting it’s “a bit more in the astrology realm.” Why keep it under wraps? That remains a mystery.

Both Nader and Savchenko have expressed warm feelings for one another. On the night they were eliminated, Gleb shared heartfelt words, saying, “I want to thank you for an amazing season; it was so unexpected. I had a blast working with you. You are super talented, and I love you.” Whether his sentiments were genuine affection or just friendly praise is up for debate, but they’ve certainly captured the public’s attention.

Even after their elimination, interest in their relationship continues. A source informed Us Weekly that Brooks and Gleb plan to keep seeing each other post-show, enjoying life outside the intense rehearsal schedule they previously followed. “They will still be spending time together not rehearsing and are excited to be living life without having such a rigorous rehearsal schedule,” the source shared.

As the dust settles from their time on Dancing With the Stars, it’ll be interesting to see how Brooks and Gleb navigate their relationship and whether their connection continues to flourish. Let’s keep an eye on this couple and see where their journey takes them!
