A recent post on the Subreddit r/dancingwiththestars has revealed the songs the Penn State alum and his dancing partner have decided upon as the tunes for their season finale performances. Nedoroscik and Arnold will do one quickstep routine and one freestyle dance for the final night of the show. But the song for their quickstep is what’s making the fans go ga-ga with excitement.
According to the update, The Rembrandts’ I’ll Be There For You is the song of choice for the Olympian and Rylee as the background music to their quickstep performance, while for their freestyle, they’ll use Coldplay’s Viva La Vida. While both of these songs are incredibly popular, the first one has a separate fanbase of its own. Popular due to the iconic sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S., fans can’t get over how fitting the song could be for Stephen Nedoroscik as his final display of groovy skills at the 33rd season of the show. Watching your favorite star dance to a nostalgic song is certainly titillating, and fans believe it’ll be exactly that.
Fans are already speculating about the wholesome moment
At the Paris Games, Stephen Nedoroscik and his national teammates made history by bringing home a medal in men’s gymnastics after 16 years. Naturally, getting dibs on the best song on the list was a fair advantage that the gymnast should have had, and fans aren’t complaining. If anything, they’re even more amused by the fact that he got to pick the song despite the competitor list having people with names that are familiar to every fan of the show. “I think it’s so funny that Stephen got the “Friends” theme song for his quickstep and not Chandler or Joey,” joked one such fan.
At the Olympics, the Superman lookalike definitely a lot of people to be his fans thanks to how he anchored Team USA’s performance. And now, many Redditors believe he could do the same next week when Stephen Nedoroscik shows his dancing skills to the iconic song. “Stephen’s definitely going to be the one to tug heartstrings,” wrote another user, and we don’t have much skeptical thoughts either!
