According to Dancing With The Stars fans, Gabby Windey will get vulnerable during the upcoming Semi-Finals episode. The Bachelorette star found love with Erich Schwer during her and Rachel Recchia’s season of the reality dating series, and the two got engaged. When Gabby joined DWTS, her fiancé supported her every week. When The Bachelorette finale aired, revealing Gabby chose Erich, he appeared on the dance show after Gabby and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy danced the Viennese Waltz to “Can’t Help Falling In Love” for Elvis night. However, a few weeks ago, Gabby said Erich was supporting her from afar, and not long after, news broke that they’d split.
Gabby hasn’t addressed the breakup, but DWTS fans think that she will open up to Val about her split during rehearsal footage. Popular reality tv super fan Zachary Reality hinted on Twitter that Gabby would have a special rehearsal package during Semi-Finals and went more into depth in a YouTube live stream. Zachary was an audience member for DWTS 90s night and is sure Gabby’s split will be a topic during the upcoming DWTS episode. When a fan asked how he knew, he responded, “I can’t say how I know, but I have been told by a source that she will be talking about her breakup next week on Dancing With The Stars, so we’ll see.“
Some DWTS Fans Think Gabby Will Talk About Her Relationship With Her Mother
Many DWTS fans responded to Zachary’s tweet, agreeing that Gabby will discuss her breakup. However, Reddit user realitytv2734 shared Zachary’s tweet on the platform and suggested she may talk about her relationship with her mom. On The Bachelorette, Gabby opened up to Jason Alabaster about her estranged relationship with her mother. The star said her mom didn’t know how to love her growing up and would give her love only to take it away. “I do think we will get a dance about her relationship with her mom. Anyone who watched the bachelorette saw how much it affected her ability to receive love and has had a huge impact on her life,” one fan wrote.
Some fans think Gabby will discuss her breakup and her relationship with her mother. However, The Bachelorette fans want answers about what happened between Gabby and Erich, so she may finally give them what they desire. The strongest way for contestants to gain viewers’ support is by being open about difficult topics. Vulnerability allows others to connect, which has been evident with contestants like Charli D’Amelio and Vinny Guadagnino on DWTS season 31. When Charli spoke about her anxiety during Most Memorable Year night, she put on a jaw-dropping contemporary performance that earned her a near-perfect score. When Vinny spoke about his anxiety during Disney + night, fans related to him and had compassion for him. Gabby can earn the most votes she’s ever gotten if she opens up about her breakup during the DWTS episode.
However, fans could also be right that she’s going to talk about her relationship with her mom. Gabby has been very funny and energetic throughout DWTS season 31, and fans have loved seeing her bubbly personality. However, they’re ready to see another side of her. Discussing her complicated relationship with her mom could do that and give them a way to connect with the star. Anyone who opens up about their struggles makes other people feel less alone. If Gabby can do this on DWTS, it will earn her a lot of respect from fans. Fans are still crossing their fingers that Gabby will tell the truth about her breakup with Erich, but either way, the upcoming DWTS episode will be her most vulnerable yet.
Dancing With The Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on Disney+.
