Jenna Dewan’s Elimination on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Has “Shifted the Competition” and Every Celeb “Genuinely Believes” They Can Win
· CosmopolitanThanks to her professional dance experience, flawless performances, and consistently sky-high judges’ scores, Jenna Dewan was favored to win Dancing With the Stars pretty much since day one.

“Jenna’s elimination has totally switched up the entire tone of the show. It’s completely shifted the competition,” an insider tells The Sun. “Everyone on the cast thought ‘Jenna will win this.’ So now that she’s out, every contestant and pro left genuinely believe they have a chance of winning.”
Couples are performing two routines each during the semifinals, and they’re going extra hard now that the Mirrorball Trophy is truly anyone’s prize to win. Per the source, “It’s going to put a fire in everyone and you can expect the strongest, riskiest, and wildest performances next week.”
