Normani placed 3rd on dwts after getting a perfect score 5 times over the course of the season, dominating the leaderboard, being hailed as the best celebrity dancer EVER on the show moodboard.
How you know this is rigged: Normani had the highest scores, biggest fanbase plus the Pro dancers stating that she could easily be a pro dancer yet she came in 3rd...
It's not rigged. Go back and look at other seasons and the winner is not always the one who got all the best scores or who has the highest cumulative points for the whole season. Last spring Paige had more total points for the whole season (got more 10's and perfects) and Nyle still won and that was after flubbing his trio dance in the finals. The reason he still won despite that he connected with the general public who watches the show every season. Normani may have a big fan base but since she didn't connect with the 10-13 million people who watch DWTS every season that's why she came in 3rd. If you don't get the general public vote then you don't win and the way you can tell who has it is by going on the DWTS facebook page and the support was overwhelmingly for Rashad and David. And even on top of the general public favoring Rashad and David, David had the whole MLB behind him, sports fans are loyal and they vote. It's why so many athletes have won the show. Also not the first time someone who was viewed by some as a better dancer came in 3rd while the runner up was not as technically good of a dancer. The one that always comes to mind is when Kirstie Alley came in 2nd over Chelsea Kane. So please stop it with this rigged nonsense. Be mature and just accept the fact that Normani came in third. She's accepted it and done so pretty graciously, it would be nice if her fans would follow suit.
storywritersings Yeah now exlplain me how they announce Rashad going on the tour with them before they announce he is the winner of this season and you can see in Wikipedia they say Rashad is the winner before they say on DWTS it was all reserved from DWTS Rashad & Emma facial expression was fake too but this is my opinion.
I'm so sick of this - large fan bases don't mean anything unless you have the majority of the DWTS core fan base on your side. More than 10 million fans view this show each week, majority of them are middle aged women and older - and if you look at trends from previous winning seasons, the winners aren't the best dancers. So stop this rigged crap - its just a dance competition, get over it
Your argument was strong till you mentioned that on their facebook page Rashad and David had more support; Normani had more support across all the social media pages... Moreover with her having such a huge fanbase plus the highest scores it literally makes no sense that she was third. The best dancer lost and I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Rashad announced that he would go on the DWTS tour while she declined then he ended up winning...Almost everyone was shocked so it's not just her fanbase as you're claiming. There's also a popular screenshot on twitter that displays that he was chosen as the winner before the results were finalized and announced. It's also quite ridiculous that you're asserting that if you see that something is unjust just be quiet about it and deal with it; "that's maturity" smh...
Okay sheeple, I get it; this is making you think too much. So if large fan bases and high scores don't determine who wins, yet this show asserts that votes and scores matter, then what does #Rigged
PS. Saskia Sololys...l do think this show was somewhat rigged....Normani or Val could go on tour....Rashard was free to go....they need a winner to sell the tickets dwts....Normani fan came out and voted big time....
The winner does not always go on tour. Season 21 finale, Alek was announced as going on tour and later in the show he came in 3rd. Bindi won but didn't go on tour.
No disrespect to the winner and runner up but they honestly did not win or place above Normani that season. Just looking at the winner’s footwork in that 5 second clip showed the major difference b/w Normani and these last two - Normani was the exceptional dancer! Reason number 100 why I stopped watching this show after Brandy was eliminated.
Ok I am about to say something that I know will start something but NO WAY if I was Sasha, I would let Emma go some damn summer dance tour with this man! That would be optimal disrespect for her man. Rashad should step aside like a good dude and gentleman if Emma insists upon going to DWTS summer tour. They don't need to be together and both should move on with their lives as far away as possible from each other. The temptation is too great and they both are good people. Intervene Sasha and stand up, covet your woman-absolutely nothing wrong with that!
Really....Rashad has no interest in her. His type is definitely not her. She will be fine and honestly, Rashad is not her type either. What you see from Rashad is gratitude.
dunante. Laurie was spanish.......only one fat non threatening black girl won.....Mel B..Brandy..Layla Ali ..Zendaya....Normani...all beautiful black woman who should have won..point period...this is a dancing contest after all...not who like the best show...
Beverly Pitts it's really sad how racism still rules the world especially America. If a good black contetstant is on a show you have to wonder if they will win. It's depressing at the thought.
I'm beyond proud of Rashad and Emma😭💖🏆🏆 My champions! I wanted this so bad for them and to see them win and see Emma's reaction and their happiness was all my joy there. I'm so proud of David and Lindsey too! 4 of the sweetest people in the run I absolutely love and adore all 4 of them💖💖💖💖👏
Bullshit! Friendship! Come on Emma don't don't this to your man. YOU CANNOT BE A FRIEND TO RASHAD! Come on Emma: be honest with yourself. YOU CAN NOT BE A FRIEND TO THIS GUY IF YOU RESPECT AND LOVE YOUR SASHA.
