This season of Dancing With The Stars has proved to be especially heated! From the very first week, some of your favorite reality TV stars, influencers, athletes, and even wilderness experts have been tearing up the ballroom floor.
There was sad news in Week 3 for contestant Lauren Jauregui learned she was being sent home. Instead of talking about her gratitude for the experience, however, Lauren surprised the audience when she called the fans out for not helping her remain in the dance competition.
Lauren Called Out DWTS Fans For Not Voting
In the previous week, Lauren and her partner Brandon Armstrong performed the cha-cha. While Lauren felt good about the performance, unfortunately the pair only managed to score an 18 out of 30. This result placed them at the bottom of the pack, tying for last place with dance duo Andy Richter and Emma Slater.
When Lauren was given a chance to speak after her elimination news, she expressed her frustration that the fan vote hadn’t pulled through for her:
Well, I’m feeling really disappointed. I’m a crybaby, I’m sorry. I’m feeling a little sad, upset. I’m just feeling a little overwhelmed to do this right after getting eliminated. It’s funny. Like mid-mental breakdown. But here I am, hey guys! Thanks for not f****** voting.
Lauren Later Expressed Her Gratitude
There’s no doubt it can be difficult to do an interview after the elimination news, and Lauren appeared to compose herself after her initial reaction. As she continued to speak about going home in Week 3, she changed her tune, talking about what a great experience it was to be able to compete in Season 34.
The former Fifth Harmony member noted that performing on Dancing With The Stars was reminiscent of her time in the famous girl group. She noted that she appreciated the chance for viewers to get to know her not just as a singer, but as a dancer as well:
This was such a beautiful opportunity for me to really show what I can do as a dancer, because most people know me, obviously, as a singer. When you sing and dance at the same time, you have to be really mindful of breath control, and ’cause that mic is on, baby. I don’t want to miss a note, so I won’t go as hard on a move, to reserve my energy.
“But this show gave me the opportunity to give my 110 percent as a dancer, which I’ve never really gotten to do in front of the world before. So it was a really beautiful, special opportunity. I’m sad I’m not going to be able to do it anymore,” she added.
As of this article’s writing, there are ten dance teams that remain in the competition. Those who are still standing include the following lineup:
- Robert Irwin and Witney Carson
