Predictable Plot Twist: Ariana Madix Is So In for the DWTS 32 Finale

When it was announced that Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix would be competing in Dancing with the Stars Season 32, fans were fairly certain that the reality star was merely capitalizing on the scandal she was embroiled in earlier this year instead of genuinely attempting to impress the judges and viewers with her dance floor prowess. However, this assumption was proven wrong when Ariana and her partner, Pasha Pashkov, dazzled the audience with their first three performances.

While Ariana and Pasha may not be the most flashy duo of the season, they are unquestionably among the most talented, effortlessly executing complex dances while keeping their chemistry on display for everyone to enjoy. However, that's not the main reason why many people believe Ariana will easily advance to the finale.

Still a Show

Even though other contestants like Xochitl Gomez, Charity Lawson, and Jason Mraz all have plenty of talent to reach the finale, fans are confident that Ariana will get there with less difficulty than any of them. Yes, her performance in the last episode was not as good as the other contestants', but she possesses something they all lack - a compelling revenge narrative.

Getting Back

Earlier this year, the Internet was buzzing with the news that Ariana's longtime boyfriend and Vanderpump Rules co-star, Tom Sandoval, had been cheating on her with a much younger co-worker. The scandal led to their breakup and left Ariana in an extremely vulnerable position.

Therefore, her appearance on Dancing with the Stars was naturally seen as an opportunity to demonstrate how resilient Ariana had become following the scandal, and what better way to prove it than by winning the competition?

Ariana is an exceptional dancer and a consummate professional when it comes to performing and training, but fans are convinced she could easily make it to the finale even without all the dedication and skill. Her backstory alone could carry her there.

Regardless, we will have to wait a bit longer to see how well Ariana and Pasha will fare in the competition, as there are still many formidable contenders in season 32.

Dancing with the Stars Season 32 Episode 4 is scheduled to premiere on October 17, 2023.
