Does DWTS Reward Popularity Over Dancing? | Back To The Barre

Yacht Rock Night should be an easy week in the ballroom — bad shirts, soft rock, a few awkward hips, and everyone trying to survive another dance.

But Christi and Kelly are starting to see the real game underneath Dancing With the Stars. Harry actually shows up and dances. Amber looks like she is gaining momentum. Maura keeps winning them over even when the routine is not their favorite. And then there are contestants like Tyler Cameron, who may not be the cleanest dancer in the room, but might have enough fans — and enough hot-guy energy — to stick around anyway.

That’s the question this week: does DWTS really reward the dancing, or does it reward whoever has the biggest fanbase, best partner, strongest social media pull, or most drama after elimination?

Plus, Christi and Kelly talk Connecticut and New York tour dates, New Orleans plans, Mardi Gras myths, Real Housewives lingerie party chaos, Whitney Leavitt’s post-elimination drama, and why the next few Dance Moms recaps may come with a lot more behind-the-scenes tea.
