Who is derek hough dancing with this season

If you're confused as to why Len Goodman gets the final say about who goes home on Dancing With the Stars , you're note alone — in fact, Derek Hough is on your side. In recent years, the ABC dance competition show has come under fire for becoming a "popularity contest" and rewarding the least-talented dancers for earning the most fan votes.

Trying to address these concerns, the show has changed things up to allow judges Len, Derek and Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba to save one of the bottom couples each week. The only thing is, because there's an even number of judges, if Bruno, Carrie Ann or Derek don't all agree, it falls on Len to make the final call. Despite producers' best intentions with the rule, it's proven to be somewhat controversial among fans this season. According to what Derek revealed to Us Weekly recently, even he doesn't completely get it.

Len has the weight of two votes. I wish we just said it like that because that makes so much more sense. In the end, Len also chose Kenya and Brandon, and because his vote carried more weight, Matt and Lindsay were sent home in the end though Kenya and Brandon have since been eliminated.

Derek and Hayley have both been a part of other dancing competition shows. Derek and Hayley officially announced that they were dating in July , just a few months before the upcoming DWTS season premiered. Since then, they have kept fans interested in their relationship by staying active on social media. Derek and Hayley even sparked engagement rumors on several occasions. Derek has said that they aren't getting married anytime soon, but fans keep hoping they will tie the knot. Derek posted a series of video clips from the show's set, where he was rehearsing a routine with Hayley.

It's going to be epic, we have an incredible routine planned for you all. We have amazing dancing, dancers, music, love, passion, but most of all.. Hayley added: " Horror I'm coming back from the dead!
