DANCING with the Stars has long been sidestepping reality when it comes to judging the competitors, charge numerous critics - but despite the many claims that the fix is in, the show continues to trip the light fantastic in the ratings! "Dancing with the Stars is a competition, but even more it's showbiz," a set insider tells GLOBE. "They try to create a live soap opera world of love stories and feuds between contestants, and the actual competition is nearly an afterthought!" Actor Antonio Sabàto Jr. has become the latest former contestant to say something is fishy with the judging.
The 52-year-old General Hospital star, who competed on DWTS with pro partner Cheryl Burke in 2014, went on Cheryl's podcast Sex, Lies and Spray Tans to make his case.
"Yes, it is rigged," he declares.
"First of all, if you're not a dancer or you don't have dancing skills from a young age, you're not going to win." And he's hardly the first contestant to cry foul! That's So Raven alum Kyle Massey, who was paired with Lacey Schwimmer, leveled even heavier allegations when he competed in season 11.
