TikTok star Mikayla Nogueira is opening up about the end of her marriage to Cody Hawken, taking accountability for her own struggles in the relationship while revealing how Cody’s battle with addiction affected their marriage.

Ezra continues to prove he’s the total package, Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold are becoming one of my favorite partnerships, and I’m locking in my Final Four. But the biggest shock came when Ciara and Brandon landed in the bottom three and were eliminated over Guillermo, Jackson and Tyler, just one week after Britt Stewart and Taylor Hanson were sent home. We need to talk about what these eliminations say about the competition, the growing amount of ABC cross-promotion, and whether DWTS is starting to lose sight of what makes the show work.

Plus, Austen Kroll’s relationships with Salley and Molly appear to get complicated, and I have a theory that Charley Manley has been demoted after disappearing from the trailer and official cast bios.
