Rylee Arnold's transformation under the tutelage of Scott Hoying on Dancing with the Stars has been nothing short of remarkable. The season 34 journey between the two, a Pentatonix singer and a dance pro respectively, came to an unexpected end on the Wicked-themed night of October 21st. Reflecting on their time together, Rylee shared a heartfelt TikTok GRWM video on October 22nd, where she expressed her profound emotions.
"Honestly, this morning, my heart feels heavy," Rylee admitted. "I'm sad that my journey with Scott this season is over because it was truly an incredible season." Despite the sadness, her first feeling was one of gratitude. "I am so grateful that I made a best friend out of Scott," she continued, her voice filled with emotion. "Every single week, I was proud of what we created, the improvement he made, and the fact that he was out there doing his thing. That's all you can ask for."
Scott, 34, is described by Rylee as "one of the most kind and genuine people" she has ever met. "I am so glad that I now know him and have him in my corner," she emphasized. "He is the funniest person I know. He always lights up a room when he enters it. I had the best time with him this season."
Scott's commitment to the competition was evident to Rylee, who marveled at his unwavering dedication. "His work ethic is insane," she explained. "After our four-hour rehearsal, he would go home and practice for hours. The next day, I'd see him, and he'd be even better. He put so much work and love into it. As a dancer and a teacher, that is the most appreciated thing, and I'm so grateful that he was in it and wanted it just as much as I did."
Despite being a DWTS veteran with three seasons under her belt, Rylee learned a great deal from Scott during their time together. "Scott helped me grow in so many ways this season," she said. "I'm so grateful and it's cool to look back at all those moments where he was there for me and helping me. I'm going to take so many things I've learned this season into my entire life."
