As for the fans, they took to social media to voice their opinions. Some of them weren’t feeling it, as one person wrote, “I love Whitney but I thought this was her worst dance. Maybe it’s the music tonight or just too much extra stuff added in.”

She was getting the love too, as one person wrote, “This woman can dance, there is zero doubt about that. If we are purely speaking about dance skills, she’s incredibly talented!! Also Mark always slays.” Another added, “SHE IS INCREDIBLEEEEE ARE YOU KIDDING???”

She got emotional talking about her journey on “Dancing With the Stars” season 34. Whitney said she has learned to be herself, and when she dances, she is herself.

B&B’s The Rinse: Li Invites Poppy to Dinner on November 18 And Surprises Her With a Roast
On The Bold and the Beautiful, Tuesday, November 18, 2025, Li invited Poppy out to dinner at Il Giardino. She wasn’t there to reconcile with her sister. She just wanted to roast Poppy about Luna.
Key Takeaways
- Luna broke out of jail, and she’s already at the beach house.
- Li met up with Poppy for dinner.
- The sister finally addressed Poppy’s history with Finn.
- Their conversation shifted to Luna and whether her mom is to blame.
Li (Naomi Matsuda) met up with Poppy (Romy Park, who gushed about Kimberlin Brown) at Il Giardino. She was not interested in making nice. She wanted to roast her sister for having a daughter like Luna (Lisa Yamada).
It didn’t take Li long to blame Poppy for Luna’s instability. They finally brought up Poppy’s inappropriate relationship with Finn (Tanner Novlan) when he was 18. Li still couldn’t believe that Finn was Luna’s father.
Then, Li asked Poppy if she had seen her daughter, and Poppy admitted she hadn’t. Poppy wondered how Luna came from her at all since they were so different. She no longer saw Luna as her daughter. Luna felt dead to Poppy, even if Luna technically is not dead anymore.
Deacon (Sean Kanan) overheard their conversation and admitted that it was a harsh thing for a mother to say about her daughter. Luna is her flesh and blood, no matter what. Poppy told Deacon he probably felt the same after what Luna did to his friends. Deacon admitted that Luna wasn’t even sorry for what she’s done. He missed his friends every day, but Luna never gives them a second thought.
Who’s To Blame?
Li claimed that Poppy was to blame for what happened to Luna. However, Deacon argued that she shouldn’t blame her sister. Luna was the one who committed these crimes, not her mother.
He had a point. Deacon was also right about Luna’s feelings. She sat in her jail cell, thinking about Will (Crew Morrow). She didn’t think about what she had done. Luna never felt sorry or remorseful for one second she spent behind those bars. Instead, Luna thought she had to break free from jail so she could have a life with Will.
In the end, Luna’s to blame for the crimes and misdeeds she’s caused. She ended up at the beach house, where she came face-to-face with Will. As he threatened to call the police, she begged him not to. Luna told Will that she wanted to have a relationship with him. She just wanted to be loved.
Luna had a mom who had loved her until she became a cold-blooded killer. Additionally, Luna has two grandmothers who adore her. Sure, her father wanted nothing to do with her, but that’s not the worst thing that ever happened to a person.
