Ciara Miller was among the celebrities competing on Season 35 of DWTS. The Summer House star was fresh off a scandal involving her ex, West Wilson, and her former friend, Amanda Batula. Unfortunately, her time on the dance floor came to an end just four weeks into the competition. Her Bravo co-stars spoke out, accusing ABC of rigging the dance competition. Keep reading for more details on the shocking allegations.
Ciara Miller’s Summer House Co-Stars Slam ‘Rigged’ Elimination
Ciara Miller got off to a slow start on DWTS. She received just a 15 out of 30 for her Foxtrot to Whitney Houston’s “Exhale (Shoop Shoop.)” However, with her pro partner Brandon Armstrong’s guidance, the reality star improved. They received a 21 out of 30 for their Jazz routine to “Emotions” on Mariah Carey Night.
However, that wasn’t enough to save them. Ciara Miller landed in the bottom three with Jackson Olson (21 out of 30) and Guillermo Rodriguez (13 out of 30). Unfortunately, Ciara Miller was the one going home. The elimination took viewers and her Summer House co-stars by surprise.
Paige Desorbo and Hannah Berner spoke out about the surprise elimination on the Giggly Squad podcast. “I knew that was a f*** ass show,” Paige said.
“I don’t know if it’s rigged. Even though it is weird that they’re like, ‘We’re not going to tell you the algorithm or how we did it and we’re not going to tell you who’s actually in the bottom three.’” Hannah Berner replied.
The bottom three aren’t necessarily the three contestants with the lowest scores. Viewer votes are added to the judges’ scores, which is how Guillermo keeps getting saved. “I know my girl was better based on who was in the bottom with her,” Hannah claimed.
Hannah Berner Takes Aim At DWTS Contestant Guillermo
Guillermo Rodriguez has been on the bottom of the leaderboard for four weeks straight, but viewers keep saving him. It’s a brewing scandal among fans. Hannah Berner railed against the late-night sidekick remaining in the competition despite low scores.
“People are very upset because every season there’s a Guillermo type. Andy Richter was the previous one,” the Summer House alum said. “It’s basically, like, an older man and everyone’s like, ‘He can walk. This is amazing.’ They’re very funny. But at the end of the day, Ciara is improving every week.”
Overall, Paige Desorbo and Hannah Berner were proud of Ciara Miller for competing on DWTS. “She did f***ing amazing, and she was only getting better. Now I hope she goes on bed rest,” Hannah said. Finally, do you think “rigs” the scores? Share your thoughts in the comments.
