In a very simple but forceful way, Alan Bersten said: ‘We can’t wait to dance for all of you on Tuesday 🙏🏼❤️’. The fun video the next day showed the vitality and assertiveness of the partners, as if they were already claiming the dance floor. The announcement was a ray of hope for viewers after the couple went through quite a difficult episode.
Last week’s performance was an emotional rollercoaster for fans, with many messages pointing out the strong emotional impact of seeing Bersten alone on stage. One user put it in a very touching way, saying: ‘Elaine may never miss a show again because she’s never seen Alan as sad as he was last week when he was alone on stage!’ 😭💔’. He was making very clear the sadness the audience was feeling, and in fact, it was very compassionate of one person to worry and talk about the professional dancer’s plight when another said, “I never want to see you that sad again,” making the undercurrent of concern very clear.
Discussion about that night went on for quite some time, with one viewer criticizing the show’s production, saying, “That was diabolical.” They never said they were the last 3. They just look like one of these 3 is going home. Couldn’t they have called them like the first 3? Oh my god 😑☠’. Everyone’s sadness was evident and many explained how Bersten hugging himself on stage was a moment that “broke me with sadness.”
The atmosphere has finally transformed from one of sadness to one of pure euphoria and support for the cause. The fans are there with the return, one comment saying: ‘We are all so excited to see you dance again ❤️’. Another follower insisted: ‘I demand a standing ovation from everyone when Elaine finishes her dance this week. That’s it,” indicating the enormous excitement surrounding his return.
Another point highlighted by commentators was the special bond between Bersten and Bredehoft. One viewer accurately described their connection as: “You two give off the cool protective aunt and nephew vibe.” 👏’. Bersten, in fact, was part of the discussion when he commented about this saying, ‘sounds good! 🙂🙃’, which reflects the charming and unique side of their relationship. Another fan mentioned, “Their chemistry is great,” which seems to be one of the factors that unites the couple’s fan base.
Support extended to even the smallest fans, thus demonstrating the couple’s appeal to a diverse audience. One mother wrote: ‘My 9 and 12 year old children have been very worried about you this week. We love you and hope you are getting better. I can’t wait to see you shine this week. Bredehoft didn’t take long to think about it and responded to the mother by asking her: ‘Please give those sweet angels a big hug from me!’ I’m bruised but I’ll be fine. Get ready to cheer us on Tuesday! ❤️❤️.’ This interaction shows the sincere and supportive bond the couple has with their audience in a very accessible way.
