So Ally Brooke is performing at miss Universe tonight, and it’s getting more clear by the day why she was saved so many times by the judges and brought all the ways to the finals. 😶
Ps. I don’t hate Ally nor I have anything against her and I don’t want to diminish her accomplishments. It’s just interesting to me to see how she was kept on the show to get more name recognition. I barely knew who she was before DWTS. Now she’s doing all these big things and good for her.

I will never forget when S28 was airing how much Ally was getting hated one for how JUDGES were scoring her. At the end of the day she was not scoring herself nor was she scoring the other contestants. Why attack Ally for how she’s being scored, Why not attack the Judges? I would love to hear the reasoning :)

In Ally’s book “Finding Your Harmony,” she explains how she was feeling after James’ elimination, and it was a heartbreaker to read 💔:
In that moment it hit me—as shocking and horrible as it was, I was left in the bottom two. And not only for a third time, but also, now I was up against James to possibly be saved. It was the most horrible situation possible. That was it, then. It was over for me. I was crying, but I was also working toward acceptance, telling myself: You know what? My time on this show may be done, but I’m proud of myself for making it to the semifinals. Even though I didn’t go all the way to the finals, I’m going to walk out of here with my head held high.
I was disappointed to not make it to the finale, but I was doing my best to process all of this, and in front of the cameras. At the same time, I was comforting Sasha—even though we didn’t win, we were going to be fine, and it had been an amazing experience, and I loved him.
We still had to get through the part where judges could each save one of the bottom contestants from being eliminated. Of course the judges were going to save James, because he was so incredible, and especially after the night he’d had.
“The couple I want to save, and I’m so sorry, is Ally and Sasha,” Carrie Ann said, obvious emotion in her voice. “I’m so sorry, James.”
I was shocked.
The second judge, Bruno Tonioli, also voted to save Sasha and me.
“What?” I heard someone say in the studio audience.
“What?” I said, starting to tear up. “No, no.”
Emma started crying. So then, of course, Sasha was upset that his wife was crying, even if we were maybe advancing. Now he was crying. And in the audience, James’s daughter, Olivia, was crying. This was awful.
“Sasha, I cannot do this,” I said. “This is not right. This is not fair. I cannot move on in the competition like this.”
I felt so unworthy. I didn’t deserve to be there. I was heartbroken. It was not at all what I’d been envisioning, and it sucked the joy out of going into the finals for me. I had to fix this, even though I didn’t know if my action was allowed. I turned to our host, Tom Bergeron, and I think I startled him, which made me feel bad, too. “Can I give it to James, please?” I said, crying.
“No, but that’s lovely of you to say that,” Tom said. Tom got back to finishing up the rest of the show, but he was still trying to comfort me. During the course of the show, he had always supported me and become like an uncle figure to me.
Then I turned to my castmate: “James, can I give it to you, please?”
James began trying to comfort me. Now I was really crying. I still wanted so badly to make it to the finale, and I had, but I didn’t want it to be under these circumstances. I actually did feel tremendous love from Dancing with the Stars fans. But I’d been in the bottom two once again. I’d advanced by being saved, which I felt awful about. And the judges had chosen me over James, after what he’d gone through.
And now I feared that I’d be known as the girl who’d taken James Van Der Beek’s spot. In the moment, I was starting to second-guess myself. I was devastated for James, and I was angry that I’d been put in this position. It didn’t seem fair—I knew I deserved to be in the finals because of my hard work and how much my dancing had improved. I knew James deserved to be there, too, because because he’d always been an incredible dancer and worked just as hard. And now this.
The show was done taping, and I went back to my trailer. I couldn’t stop crying. My parents had been there for my big night, as well as Will, my pastor, my best friend, and some of her friends, and they all tried to comfort me. But I felt so embarrassed. I started to have flashbacks to past experiences when, no matter how positive my attitude was and how hard I’d tried, I just couldn’t seem to prove I was good enough.
I was hysterical and shocked by what had happened. Normally I did press after the show. But I was so emotional, I didn’t feel well enough to do press. Finally my mom and dad calmed me down and got through to me.
“Mama, listen, I know you’re sad, but you deserve to be here, too,” they said. “You deserve to be in the finals. Yes, James does, too, but it’s not your fault. Please don’t think for one second that you don’t deserve to be here, because you do.”
The sub for everything Ally Brooke, member of the girl group Fifth Harmony.
