“Dancing With the Stars” (DWTS) is prepared to kick-start its 33rd season with its premiere on September 17. Fans across the United States and its territories, as well as those in Canada, will be allowed to vote from the moment that the first episode airs. Promising a fierce competition this year, the show aims to keep its followers glued to their screens, as they vote to keep their favorite couple on the dance floor.
A Guide to Voting for DWTS
Here’s how the whole voting process works. It is somewhat simple yet exciting. Once DWTS commences in the Eastern and Central time zones, fans can start to vote online at dwtsvote.abc.com. Each fan is allowed up to 10 votes per couple for each episode.
It’s worth noting that texts are another way to vote for your favorite pair if you reside in the U.S. Sadly, the text voting system is not available for those viewing from Canada. So, if you’re planning to use this method, stay tuned and have your cell phones ready!
Consequences of Voting and Scoring System
ABC disclosed that the votes and scores from the first two weeks will be calculated together. This combined calculation will pinpoint the couples who may face the risk of elimination in the second episode. Usually, the votes cast during a certain episode decide the elimination for that particular week.
Voting Numbers for Each Couple
Voting via text demands DWTS fans to message the first name of the celebrity they are supporting to the number 21523. Each couple has a different assigned name. For instance, if you want to vote for Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach, text “DWIGHT” to 21523. Other pairs and their assigned names include: Danny Amendola and Witney Carson (“DANNY”), Anna Delvey and Ezra Sosa (“ANNA”), and Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson (“JOEY”), among others.
Unpredictability of Show Order
The sequence of the couples’ performances remains a guessing game for viewers, as this information is not typically disclosed before an episode starts. However, DWTS followers do not let this detail spoil their excitement. They find it fun to predict the performing order, which adds another dose of thrill to the viewing experience.
As the 33rd season of DWTS starts this September, get all set to enjoy mesmerizing dance performances from your favorite celebrities and their professional dance partners. Don’t forget, your votes matter, so make sure to get your votes in for your favorite pair, and help them dance their way to victory!
