Just when Dancing with the Stars fans thought they had seen every twist of the season, former celebrity contestant Alexa PenaVega tossed a humorous curveball into the mix.
The actress sparked a flurry of reactions across social media by lightheartedly claiming the show is rigged. Although delivered with a smile, her unexpected comment struck a chord with viewers, opening the floodgates for fans to weigh in on show results and ballroom drama.
On the podcast she hosts with her husband, Big Time Rush band member Carlos PenaVega, LEXLOS, Alexa shared an experience she had while a contestant with her husband during Season 21 of the ABC competition series via Instagram.
View this post on InstagramThe former Spy Kids star recalled a conversation she had with fellow contestant Hayes Grier when they were competing on season 21 of the hit ABC show.
“For instance, Hayes was only 15 years old, and he’s the sweetest kid. He’s back there with us and I just remember all of us being in the bottom, and he’s like, ‘Man, I think this show’s rigged. I have more votes than anybody,’” PenaVega said.
She said she told the media influencer, “I know you have more votes than anybody here because of the millions and millions of followers. 100 percent, it is so easy for them to send in a little text.”
“This is what I always tell people. I think the votes matter. I do. But the show’s also produced,” PenaVega concluded.
Fans weighed in on the commentary in the post’s comments section. They shared their own thoughts on the Dancing With the Stars voting system and if fan voting can actually shift the leaderboard results when a surprisingly low score threatens to send a star home.
One fan claimed, “It’s not rigged it’s just a popularity contest. Just because you have a lot of followers on social media, doesn’t mean they’re actually calling/texting and voting for you.”
“There’s no way it could be rigged unless people weren’t allowed to vote. Then, maybe the judges could do something like that. But still, a popularity contest whether people like it or not,” a second follower wrote.
A third fan exclaimed, “This show will continue to be nothing but a popularity vote until all of the voters can vote after actually seeing the dances. If those of us in CMT and PST want to vote, we have to cast our votes before we even get to see the show.”
From unexpected judge scores to jaw-dropping eliminations, unpredictability has always been part of the Dancing with the Stars charm. And as former competitors like Alexa PenaVega continue to join in on the fun from the sidelines, dedicated fans are more ready than ever to rally behind their favorites all the way to the finals.
Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC and Disney+. Hulu airs new episodes the next day.
