Maura Higgins is clearing up chatter that Dancing With the Stars is rigged to let her win. She brought it up on Alix Earle’s YouTube show, saying she saw the rumors everywhere and almost posted a sarcastic reply about not needing to practice. But she held back, though she admitted, ‘I wish that rumor is true!’ because it would save her from the hard work.
Higgins has been a standout on the show, hitting the top of the leaderboard in the first four weeks. With Mark Ballas as her partner, they nailed a 9 for their waltz to Mariah Carey’s ‘If It’s Over’. She told Us that the score is huge for her since dancing doesn’t come naturally, and she has to put in extra effort. Ballas has been a rock, helping her push through doubts with encouraging words.
She couldn’t believe the high marks, insisting other contestants deserve them more. Higgins is just focusing on giving it her all, grateful for the support and the journey.
