Overview
- Bones posted the photo on Thursday, August 6, showing the Mirrorball on his couch and captioning it “Look what just came in the mail.”
- He had mailed the trophy back to ABC in November 2025 after being hurt by former host Tom Bergeron’s comment that Bobby’s 2018 win was “shocking.”
- Bergeron apologized to Bones on the BobbyCast in March 2026, and Bones later said he regretted returning the trophy and asked for it back in May.
- The DWTS card in the photo reading “run it back?” could be read as a light invitation or a joke, but neither Bones nor ABC has confirmed any plan for him to rejoin the show.
- The episode highlights how modern celebrity disputes are settled through social posts and interviews and brings renewed attention to debates over fan voting versus judges’ scores on Dancing With the Stars.
