Every season adds a gimmick. Remember when they did “Props Week”? Someone skated with a giant rubber duck. It was absurd. It was perfect.
For 2026, imagine a “Duet Week” where two celebrities skate together. Pure chaos. Two people who can’t skate, holding each other. The horror. The delight.
Or maybe “Reverse Week.” Contestants skate backwards. The judges must also judge backwards. Why not?
Why We Can’t Stop Watching
It’s not about the skating. Let’s be honest. It’s about the human spirit. Watching a famous person try not to eat ice is therapeutic.
It’s about the sequins. The fake tears. The judges who act like they’re at the Olympics.
And the music. They skate to power ballads. A 50-year-old man in a leotard spins to Celine Dion. Sublime.
