The Bachelorette fans will soon know more about Gabby Windey and Erich Schwer's breakup, as Gabby hinted she'll address it during the Dancing With The Stars semi-finals. A few days after telling fans she and Erich were supporting each other from afar while she competes on DWTS, news broke that the two went their separate ways. Rumors started spreading that the semi-finals would be an emotional episode for Gabby, and she was likely talking about her split from Erich. Gabby's fiancé appeared on DWTS Elvis night after she and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed a Viennese Waltz to "Can't Help Falling In Love."
It seems Gabby confirmed DWTS fans' suspicions on her latest series of Instagram stories. Before rehearsals, Gabby responded to curious fans saying, "I know a lot of you guys have had questions, so I think they'll be addressed." The DWTS season 31 contestant corrected herself, adding, "and by I think, I mean I will." She concluded by asking fans to vote for her and Val as the competition is getting tougher than ever now that there are only six couples left and another double elimination during the DWTS semi-finals. Val also shared photos from their camera-blocking rehearsal, and fans expressed how excited they are to watch the performance.
Gabby Windey's DWTS Vulnerability Will Win Over Viewers
Fans started speculating that Gabby would talk about her and Erich's breakup when popular reality tv social media star Zachary Reality claimed an insider had told him she would. The social media user also thinks as the DWTS competition nears the finale, contestants need to be vulnerable so that viewers will feel connected to them and want to vote for them. He said Gabby has shown her funny side on the show a lot, but fans want her to go deeper. Some fans also speculated that she'll talk about her estranged relationship with her mother, which she mentioned on The Bachelorette.
One of the reasons Heidi D'Amelio didn't make it past the quarter-finals was she wasn't being vulnerable enough in her routines. While it's important to get the steps right, DWTS contestants also need to bring passion and personality into their dances. The semi-finals would be the perfect time for Gabby to do this, and talking about her breakup would be the most vulnerable thing she can do. Earlier this season, Vinny Guadagnino and Charli D'Amelio addressed their anxiety while Gabby spoke about the difficulties of working as a nurse during 2020. This was a vulnerable moment for Gabby, and it definitely made fans empathize with her.
However, some DWTS judges and fans felt she could have brought more to the performance. Her raw emotions will definitely shine through if she discusses her split from Erich, especially because it's so fresh on everyone's minds, and she's doing it on live television. Gabby has been the bubbly contestant all season long, but the DWTS semi-finals are pushing her to show the world a different side of herself. If all goes according to plan, the emotional moment will gain her enough DWTS fan support to make it through the double elimination again.
Dancing With The Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on Disney+.
