Alright, here’s the real tea: Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars basically lives or dies by the spark of two standout romances—Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader on one side, and Sasha Farber and Jenn Tran on the other.
And trust me, it’s been a ride watching these two pairs bring major chemistry to the stage.
But here’s where it gets interesting—while both couples have that undeniable connection, there’s always been this little difference in how they’re building their relationships, TheyGossip.com reports.
They’ve got their own vibes, and that makes us see love through two totally different lenses.
So, let’s do a deep dive into these love stories and break down why we might just love one of these romances a little more than the other, and why one couple, if we’re being honest, might just be our definition of relationship goals.
And don’t get me wrong—I’m a fan of both couples! But if I had to pick, I’ve definitely been Team Sasha and Jenn from day one.
And while my opinion may be slightly biased (I’ve got a soft spot for these two), this take is gonna be fair and square—and, yeah, backed by a lot of relationship expertise.
So, buckle up, because we’re about to see which love story is really setting the bar and which one is just a step behind.

Sure, they kept saying they were just friends, but the vibes were anything but platonic.
Looking back, the hints were everywhere: Gleb’s casual chest touches, his hand resting on her hips, and those little kisses on her neck—yeah, definitely more couple energy than “just friends.”
And who can forget the moment after Brooks got her new tattoo? Gleb gave her this soft kiss on the shoulder, a move that had fans convinced. Plus, he even tattooed her hip himself—like, seriously, who does that if they’re “just friends”?
Then came the twist twist we all didn’t see coming—a breakup via love text. They never officially confirmed they were dating, so the breakup news felt like a plot twist in a rom-com!
One minute they’re flirting on TikTok, and the next we’re hearing they’ve split. Wild, right? It’s like we got the ending to a love story we didn’t even know was happening!
