Dancing With the Stars fans are reeling from the most recent elimination. And some DWTS fans are certain the the show is rigged after Monday night’s shocking elimination. Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and her dance partner Sasha Farber was eliminated despite having perfect scores that night. It sure looked like she would have been one of the ones to win the Mirrorball trophy.
Going in to this week’s episode of Dancing With The Stars, people already knew what they had in mind for the DWTS final three.

But, when it was announced it was Simone Biles who was going home, everyone was in a state of shock. Even the judges were beside themselves.
Judge Len Goodman sat there with his head in his hands. Viewers immediately took to social media to exclaim their shock and frustration. They even blamed the judges for kicking Simone off the show with their bad scores and comments. Some even claimed that Dancing With the Stars was rigged. Viewers blamed Chicago Cubs fans for keeping David Ross around for so long.
No one was more shocked than David Ross, who has been trailing behind everyone for the past two weeks. His mouth dropped when Dancing With the Stars results revealed that Simone Biles was going home – not him. Simone handled her exit with grace and dignity. She said that she was thankful to have joined the show and to have the experience. She felt like she has learned a lot in the past few weeks and has matured thanks to the competition.

DWTS spoilers indicate that next week is the finals. Normani Kordei, Rashad Jennings, and David Ross will compete for the mirrorball trophy. Everyone has their bets on underdog Rashad or Normani, the standout of the season. But, as you can see, anything can happen on this show. Shocking eliminations are part of the norm at this point.
