Dancing With The Stars Breaks Viewer Vote Records in Season 33
Dancing With The Stars Records 14 Million Votes
Dancing With The Stars is breaking a long-standing tradition after 33 seasons by releasing viewer vote totals.
ABC told Deadline on Monday, October 7, that fan engagement on the show is stronger than ever before. According to the outlet, the September 24 episode—when viewers watched as Anna Delvey and partner Ezra Sosa as well as Tori Spelling and her partner, Pasha Pashkov, get eliminated—there were more than 14 million fan votes received.
The total was the most in a single episode of the series history. The record number of votes that week suggests to me that a lot of our audience are very passionate about a lot of our stars this year, and the increased ratings year over year would suggest that it is the case, DWTS executive producer Conrad Green told Deadline.
The DWTS season 33 premiere averaged 7.32 million total viewers, after seven days of viewing on ABC, Disney+, Hulu and other platforms. After two episodes, DWTS averaged a 0.81 rating in adults 18-49 in L+3 viewing.
