‘Dancing with the Stars 23’: Jana Kramer’s partner Gleb Savchenko has flu, hopes to recover for finale

“Dancing with the Stars” would not be the show that it is were it not for some drama that constantly circles around it, and we’ve got the latest example of that now courtesy of what is happening to Jana Kramer and her partner Gleb Savchenko. The pro dancer already battled off injury earlier this season, and now he’s tackling an illness to go along with it.

Speaking per People Magazine, a source close to the show had the following to say when it comes to his condition:

“He has the flu and has to rest up this weekend so he can hopefully dance on Monday.”

What this basically means is that he and Jana are going to have to work overtime during the time that they have in order to ensure that the two of them can make it to the end and win the Mirrorball Trophy, and we have to imagine that this is going to be no easy task. The two are already the biggest underdogs of the remaining teams, given that both of them entered the show with arguably a smaller fan base in comparison to many of the other Stars and pros. Yet, they’ve persevered, with one of the biggest reasons for that being the connection that the two have and the amount of work that they put into making every one of their performances as great as it can possibly be.

As we’ve seen time and time again, these two could find themselves surging to potential favorites based on the strength of their upcoming dances Monday, in particular the all-important freestyle.
