Simone Biles Reacts to Dancing with the Stars Stunner
Simon Biles is as shocked as you are.
But she may be in a better place emotionally than many Dancing with the Stars fans at the moment.
On Monday night, the ABC reality competition delivered its latest shocker, announcing that Biles had been eliminated a week prior to the finals…
… despite garnering TWO perfect scores just minutes before getting the axe.
On the live semifinal episode, viewers watched the final four celebrities – Simone Biles, David Ross, Rashad Jennings and Normani Kordei – compete for a chance to win the whole shebang next Monday night.
After Jennings and Kordei were confirmed as safe, Biles, Ross and their partners were left standing.
And that’s when host Tom Bergeron uttered the words very few expected him to say.
“The couple leaving right now is… Simone and Sasha.”
Cue a collective gasp from the audience and expressions of amazement from the judges.
“I am in absolute shock,” said co-host Erin Andrews.
Earlier in the evening, during a pre-taped video package, Biles grew emotional when recounting some of the judges’ critiques from previous weeks.
She had infamously been told to smile and enjoy herself more on the dance floor, for instance.
“Last week was really fun. I loved both of our dances, but the judges’ comments hurt,” Biles said during rehearsals this week, adding:
“It made me feel like I didn’t work hard enough, but I knew I had.”
Speaking through tears to partner Sasha Farber, Biles also said the following:
“I feel like I’ve been trying my hardest and they just keep saying no. I can only try so hard until I’m done.”
And now she is done, although it certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort, lack of talent or even a lack of strong scores.
“I found out a lot about myself,” Biles told reporters after her elimination.
“I think today I experienced what they wanted. It felt refreshing. I did feel free, so I cant ask anymore. We went out with a bang.”
The gymnast, of course, has a Gold Medal to go home to, so we need not shed too many tears for Simone Biles.
She has proven herself on a stage much larger and much more significant than Dancing with the Stars.
It’s a perspective Biles seems to fortunately possess, as she told journalists last night that a few weeks off does sound awfully nice right about now.
“I’ve been going nonstop since the Olympics,” said the star athlete, who plans on waiting a year before getting back into he gym to train to compete for a spot on the 2020 U.S. Olympic team.
“I’m going to take time off, go on vacations, spend family time, friend time. I’m going to take some time and finally relax.”
Well deserved, that’s for sure!
What do you think of Biles getting the boot?
And who do you think will take home the Mirrorball Trophy next week?

Simone Biles to Dancing with the Stars Judges: Don"t Tell Me to Smile!
It’s official:
Simone Biles isn’t just a world champion gymnast.
She’s also a world champion comeback generator.
On Dancing with the Stars last night, Biles advanced to this season’s semifinals on the heels of a solid Foxtrot and a strong Paso doble.
But the former Olympian didn’t totally win over the judges with these routines, as Carrie Ann Inaba took Biles to task less for her dancing skills and more for her lack of emotion.
“Your skills are unquestionable,” Inaba said, prior to getting into the crux of her critique:
“You hit every line with precision and perfection. But once again, I’m going to come back to performance and authenticity about who you are when you perform…
“You have this beautiful smile and you are a megastar with your energy, but once in a while, there’s beauty without a smile.
“There’s beauty in pain and all of the other emotions, and I’d like to see more of that.”
Julianne Hough agreed with her fellow panelist.
“I don’t know if the smile is authentic because you want to smile, or if it’s just because you rehearsed it that way,” she told Biles.
“I really just want to see some rawness come out.”
This is, of course, completely ridiculous. And also a bit sexist.
Can you imagine any judge telling a male contestant to smile more naturally?
Fortunately, Biles had the perfect response to this odd and unfair criticism.
“I’ve lived in a gym 14 years of my life, so it’s hard to show something I’ve never felt before,” she said at first, offering up a valid excuse for why she isn’t a natural on the dance floor.
But after remaining stoic upon hearing positive reviews after her second performance, and then being asked by Tom Bergeron why she still wasn’t smiling, Biles responded:
Smiling doesn’t win you gold medals.
BAM!
And Biles would know.
This amazing comeback earned the athlete quite a bit of praise and admiration across social media.
And then there was this:
Following the episode, Biles and her partner Sasha Farber spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the struggle she’s had to connect with the judges this season.
“I feel like everyone has their own opinion, clearly, and I feel it’s just how you take it,” Biles said, adding:
“I feel like I am trying, I am being honest, but if they don’t see that, I don’t know what more I can do.”
An intense competitor, Biles is accustomed to simply getting the job done; not concerning herself with what sort of emotions are displayed on her face.
“You don’t know which wild card of sexy or of happy they want to bring, and you almost have to read their minds and find it,” she told ET last night, concluding that she nearly broke down on live television.
“I had tears in my eyes. I almost ran to the bathroom at one point, but I pulled it together.”
You go, Simone Biles!
If we have it our way, this impressive young woman will win the entire thing this season…
… and then accept the Mirrorball Trophy without even the faintest hint of a smile.

Simone Biles, Aly Raisman Flaunt CRAZY Abs in Bikini Pic
The 2016 Rio Olympics have officially come to an end, which means you can safely stop caring about swimming, table tennis and whitewater canoeing for another four years.
But if you think we’re about to just set aside our love of famous people in revealing swimwear, you’re crazier than Ryan Lochte in a gas station bathroom:
As you’ve no doubt heard, the US women’s gymnastics team crushed the competition harder than Simone Biles crushes on Zac Efron.
And with shredded abs like that, it’s not hard to see why.
Following days of grueling competition that saw Biles cement her place as the world’s most dominant gymnast, the 19-year-old hit one Rio’s famous beaches with her teammates Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman.
And they brought with them the most patriotic six-packs since Budweiser changed its label to just read, “America.”
We already informed you that Raisman is hot. (We like to cover the supes important news around here.)
But this pic reminds us that all gymnasts who compete at that level are rocking impeccably chiseled bodies.
So while the women’s team took the all-around gold and Biles left Rio with three four individual medals, it’s important to remember that when it comes to abs you could bounce a quarter off of, everyone who climbs atop that balance beam deserves a place on the podium.
The games seemed to come and go in an instant, but everyone who competed will have memories to last a lifetime.
Except for Ryan Lochte.
That dude probably doesn’t remember much of anything.

Simone Biles Meets Zac Efron! Gets a Kiss! Is Living the Dream!
Simone Biles has done it, folks.
Won five Olympic gymnastic medals in Rio over the past week, including four Gold Medals?
Well, yes. But that’s not what we’re referring to here.
We’re talking about something far more exciting and important:
Simone Biles has met Zac Efron! In person! Finally!
As detailed in the following photo gallery, Biles has been crushing on the actor for months, with Efron returning the favor over social media.
Our new favorite celebrity best friends made us swoon before they even spent a second with each other in real life:
But then the 19-year old gymnast (who has a life-size cutout of Efron in her bedroom) got to actually hang out with Efron on the set of The Today Show.
As you can see in the video posted above, she also got a kiss on the cheek from the six-packed hunk.
“he kissed me on the cheek just letting y’all know @ZacEfron,” Biles wrote as a caption to one of many pictures she shared of the two on Instagram.
Efron himself was on the receiving end of a peck as well at one point:
“I’m on cloud 9,” Biles wrote about another of these adorable images.
Heck, so are we. And we’re just looking at the pictures!
Today host Hoda Kotb has said she was behind the plot to help Biles meet her long-time crush, with the full meeting set to air on the Wednesday morning broadcast of the show.
But why wait until then?!?
If a picture says one thousand words, this article right here has thousands upon thousands of words to say about Biles and Efron.
Words such as: hilarious! Precious! Sweet!
Biles first admitted to her crush on Efron in March during an appearance with Ellen DeGeneres.
When the host brought up her affection for the former High School Musical star, Simone’s fit of giggles and rosy cheeks could be seen all the way from Brazil.
It was so gosh darn cute.
“He’s gorgeous, is that why you like him?” Ellen DeGeneres asked.
To which Biles replied: “YES!”
Later on, Efron congratulated Biles for her incredible performance during the qualifying rounds on Twitter.
“So phenomenal a skill’s named after her. Congrats on sticking the Biles and qualifying for the finals @Simone_Biles!” the 28-year-old wrote.
Their exchanges continued from there, but only over the Internet.
Until yesterday, that is.
Of all of Biles’ truly mesmerizing performances at the Olympics, her ability to remain calm, cool and mostly collected in the face of meeting Efron may have been her most impressive.
We’re so in love with these two.

Simone Biles: Headed to Pretty Little Liars!
Simone Biles conquered the world on Thursday night.
We mean this almost literally, as the 19-year old gymnast earned the all-around Gold Medal in gymnastics with an overall total of 62.198 points.
Now that she’s reached the top of her profession, what else is there for Biles to do?
Catch a murderer, of course!
Sort of.
The incredible athlete had previously made it know that she loves to watch Pretty Little Liars online or on television; she’s a big fan of the Freeform series.
Therefore, I. Marlene King responded to Biles’ victory this week with an open invitation to the young star.
“Hey Simone, I heard you are a PLL fan… well, we are huge fans of yours and everybody there,” said King on Twitter.
As you’ll see below, she then invited Biles to “come see us as soon as you get home, and brings your friends.”
King is referring here to the “Final Five,” the nickname given to the Gold Medal-winning women’s gymnastics team.
Hey @Simone_Biles! @imarleneking wants you & the #FinalFive to come to PLL set when you get back – are you in? pic.twitter.com/zzMvR8mCkV
— Pretty Little Liars (@PLLTVSeries) August 12, 2016
The executive producer also passed along her congratulations in a basic Tweet.
Here it is:
Is Biles interested in visiting the Pretty Little Liars set? In maybe walking on for a cameo down the line?
Hmmm… it’s hard to say. Can you decipher her response?
HA! We kid. She’s clearly beyond excited for this opportunity.
Interestingly, there’s a history of Gold Medal-winning gymnasts making appearances in dramas aimed at a younger demographic.
Back in 2012, Gabby Douglas captured the all-around crown and was then invited to make a cameo on The Vampire Diaries.
You can see her on the episode titled “My Brother’s Keeper,” playing a girl who helps Caroline during the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant.
Here is Douglas on the set of that CW series with a pair of familiar and handsome faces:
Biles will undoubtedly have a bajillion offers headed her way over the coming days, weeks and months.
You’ll see her on talk shows. You’ll see her in commercials. You’ll see her in interviews.
But we’re guessing you’ll also see her on Pretty Little Liars at some point. She’s very obviously an enormous fan.
And this just makes us love Simone Biles that much more.
Congratulations to her and to all the American winners!
