These two ladies' beaus are both football players, but one is at a Hall of Fame level.
Should both couples be getting attention? Maybe. Is it fair that one couple is getting more? Maybe, maybe not - but you can see why it might turn out that way.

Biles quit during the Olympics two years ago because she choked under the pressure.
