"There is tension brewing between the professional dancers. The vets are feeling overshadowed by the show’s newer, younger talent," a source says. "And there have been passive-aggressive remarks on set. Some of the older pros are really getting fed up with the producers’ strategic partner preferences. Specifically, Jenna feels she was done dirty this season. Britt and Brandon feel the same way."

Jenna Johnson, Britt Stewart, and Brandon Armstrong were among the first dancers cut this season, and they were all paired with "older" contestants. The source explains that "those three, being so experienced and quite frankly, all very beloved, do not understand why newer talent like Rylee and Ezra get the younger, fan-favorite contestants. They feel disrespected by producers and it’s essentially set up a rivalry between new vs old pros. They don’t have anything personal against Rylee or any of the newer pros, it’s the system they are angry with."

Apparently there's chatter about Jenna and Brandon "wanting to quit," since "they are fed up with the favoritism and social politics of the show. They don’t deserve the treatment they’re getting and they know that. They are considering ending their contracts and walking away. Producers are trying to play it cool but if they’re not careful, they’re in danger of losing all of their legacy talent."

Reminder that no one has spoken out to confirm this, so grain of salt!
