Different Voting For DWTS Season 26, No DWTS Promo For Arike Ogunbowale (?)
I haven’t listened to Sharna Burgess’ latest IG, but, apparently she talked on voting for Dancing With The Stars Season 26. She mentioned two couples will go home the first night based on judges scores and votes. We will be allowed to start voting at the beginning of the show and for a little time after the last couple dances. Afterwards, two couples will go home. Also, the official website will let you edit your vote. If you vote for someone earlier and then like another couple later on, you can change your vote on the website. I’m sure we’ll find out more in the coming days. Thanks to Linz for the heads up. Adding: I sure wonder at times what ratings are going to be like this season?? š
That’s not all, Gleb Savchenko and Arike Ogunbowale fans, you better vote hard if you want them to stay. According to a USA Today article (that several of you have been talking about in comments for a few days),the NCAA prohibits Arike from doing any promotional work for Dancing With The Stars. You can read more on it at the link below. If this is the case, this might be why Gleb and Arika didn’t get title shoot photos like the rest of the cast or why we might not see them in promos?

I don’t want to be a Negative Nelly, but isn’t this method going to put a lot of fans (me included) off? People west of the Rockies are not going to be able to see the show and vote at the same time. This of course just leaves voting for someone because you like them, but without seeing whether or not they can actually dance. Who knows maybe this is a good thing in that the judges will have more say over the end decision than the public, but I certainly hope this doesn’t become the norm.
For all the crap Gleb said about what kind of partner he wanted, maybe this is karma LOL Now heās gonna to work really hard these 4 wks to showcase his partnerās dancing-no fluff, no gimmicks-just straight up dance!
I wonder if they will use the same voting system ABC set up for Boy Band last summer? I remember they used a live voting system that was run through some program and it was only open for the last 5 mins of the show. Wish I could remember the name of the voting system they used.
[…] Note: As we reported a couple weeks ago, there are some changes in the voting, particularly for week 1, this season. Here’s what the […]
