Is Tristan MacManus the New DWTS Powerhouse?

Derek Hough has some serious competition. Tristan MacManus is officially a contender for the best-professional-dancer title on DWTS. In fact, when Tristan performed with Gladys Knight on tonight’s episode, I found myself exclusively watching Tristan. Plus, he’s also a nice guy who doesn’t yell at his partner to get results. I know this because I went to the show last season and made a point to watch him off-stage. I saw him comforting Nancy Grace who was profusely apologizing for her sub-par performance. He’s a true gentleman.
