Well, friends, Dancing with the Stars just finished its second week. We bid goodbye to Anna Delvey and Tori Spelling as they were the first to be eliminated. And let’s just say that one competitor wanted to stay on DWTS, while the other … complained. However, in more serious matters, pro-Rylee Arnold suffered a scary injury.
Rylee Arnold sprained her ankle
This is Rylee’s second season as a pro on DWTS. Her sister, Lindsay Arnold, who was a pro on the series for almost 10 years, couldn’t be prouder of her sister. Rylee is paired with Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik, who is widely known as the “pommel horse guy.” I love this pairing. They have a great connection and tons of energy.
After the scores for the first and second week were added together, the dancing duo landed in a tie for third place on the leaderboard. I could see this couple easily leaping into the finale.
However, Rylee shared some distressing news about an ankle injury via Snapchat. “Suffered a little injury last night in rehearsal, so starting my day by heading to pt,” Rylee wrote. In another post, she added a photo of her ankle wrapped with ice. She captioned the photo, “Got an ankle sprain! Going to be very careful to keep my ankle healthy.”
In another Snapchat post, she explained exactly what happened. “I have a sprained ankle but it’s going to be just fine. I’m going to do everything I can these next couple weeks to just be really careful to be sure it doesn’t happen again so that it doesn’t get worse,” Rylee said.
“Basically we were just running the dance and I hopped on my foot and just rolled it on the outside edge,” the DWTS pro explained. Rylee, after asking her followers, posted a screenshot of when the injury happened. Yikes! “Crazy, but everything’s going to be just fine,” she reiterated.
DWTS fans are worried about Rylee’s injury
Rylee may have a chance to rest her ankle since DWTS is not airing on Tuesday, October 1st. Instead, it will air on both Monday, October 7th and Tuesday, October 8th. Still, viewers are worried about Rylee’s injury. DWTS fans spoke out on Reddit.
“Oh no! I hope she recovers quickly and if she needs to sit out for a week she does – it’s important for her to prioritize her health,” one fan wrote. “I think she may bring someone in to help Stephen rehearse. That’s what Dani [Danielle Karagach] did last season when she hurt her ankle early in the season. I just hope Rylee gets some good rest,” another fan posted.
Dancing with the Stars Season 33 will return with two episodes on Monday, October 7, and Tuesday, October 8 at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.
