The Arnold family is no stranger to the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ stage, as Rylee Arnold’s sister has also been in DWTS earlier. This season, Rylee Arnold received enough recognition with her partner, Stephen Nedoroscik. She wowed the audience with their outstanding chemistry and an uncompromising approach to dancing. Although Rylee’s journey from an early exit in Season 32 to making the finals of Season 33 is the most evident inspiration to the viewer. It’s her sister Lindsay Arnold, a DWTS participant and former champion, through whose behind-the-scenes, emotional angle, adds a layer of heartfelt emotion to this milestone.

In a candid conversation, Lindsay was very excited for her sister Rylee; she didn’t hold back and said different personalities have different energy levels, and they can’t afford to lose any of them. She opened up about the nail-biting moments that led Rylee and Nedoroscik to the finale. Her words not only highlight the intensity of the show but also a family bond that makes Rylee’s achievement even more special.

Everyone who reached the finale of DWTS deserves to be there.

It always feels amazing and out of this world when someone very close has achieved a big milestone in their career. Lindsay Arnold is also feeling the same way as her sister Rylee Arnold has reached the finale of one of the top dancing shows. From talking about how happy and anxious she was before the announcement of the top five finalists to praising each one of the finalists of DWTS season 33.

Lindsay Arnold didn’t stop herself from expressing her emotions. She spoke on a podcast called ‘Lightweight Podcast with Joe Vulpis,’ and Lindsay reflected on why it was necessary to bring all five couples to the finale. She began saying, “Everyone brings so much. Yes, they need them. There’s not one person where I was like, ‘Oh, how did they make it here?” She further added, “Every single one of them has a very distinct, different fan base and audience that they can bring to the table, different personalities and different energy levels. Like I just was like, they can’t afford to lose any of them. They need all of them in the final; like it’s so necessary.”

The buildup to the finale was nothing short of nerve-wracking for the competitors and their supporters. Rylee’s sister also felt the same, as she shared her feelings. “I felt like it was going to happen, but I was still nervous. And then I actually wasn’t at that show, and I was cr***ing my pants, just like, ‘Please tell me what’s going on!’” Because she was very nervous and could not check the result herself, she was expecting to be known by someone else. She further shared that she got news of Rylee and Stephen at the bottom. “I get the text from my mom, Alona, and Steph in the bottom.’ I’m like, ‘No way!’ Like at that point, I’m like, ‘There’s no way they’re letting either of them go,’ but I was also just nervous.” Lindsay Arnold won the mirrorball trophy one time with Jordan Fisher, and that’s why she connected more with the show.

It was a moment of joy to have five couples in the finals with her sister and Stephen Nedoroscik as one of them. She added, “I was so happy that it’s five couples; like I said, it’s so necessary. I think all of them deserve to be there and need to be there because they bring something different to the table.” The podcast was recorded on the morning of the finals. And now that everybody knows, Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold came fourth in the DWTS season 33.

Rylee Arnold shows her potential at DWTS.

Rylee Arnold and Stephen Nedroscik earned a fourth spot in DWTS season 33, which ended a few days ago. It was not an easy journey, as both of them suffered from health issues. ‘Pommel Horse Guy’ had to deal with strabismus and coloboma—two eye conditions since childhood, and Arnold has been dealing with type 1 diabetes. The partners on the dancing show got 18 points on their first episode, but instead of getting disappointed, they worked hard, and the result was in front of everyone—they came fourth.

They had fabulous performances on the stage that Cheryl Burke also praised on a podcast a few days back. Their dance and chemistry were so loved by the judges that one of the judges even called them, “Two antidepressants dancing across the floor.” Rylee Arnold and Stephen Nedoroscik’s relationship doesn’t only stick to the DWTS, but the two also share a good bond of friendship. Once Arnold even jokingly said that she needed permission from Stephen about her boyfriend Walker Lyons.

Stephen Nedoroscik also gave a sweet message to Arnold, “Hey, Rylee! Just wanna, like, look back on the season, my journey with you. You have just been unbelievably positive. You have been so patient with me, and honestly, I don’t think I would have made it to the final with literally anyone else.” Rylee got emotional reading the message and was seen even shedding happy tears.
