“This is business and the stakes are high,” a "DWTS" insider dished. “From the show’s standpoint, there’s no room for weaklings or whiners. Viewers didn’t know that because it would spoil everything. But they’ve caught on — and they’re crying foul play!”

In one blatant case, actress Vanessa Lachey had better scores than "Property Brothers" star Drew Scott, but was eliminated on the Oct. 30 show. “Vanessa has three kids, and her priority is her family. Touring would be a hardship for her, so — surprise, surprise! — she’s gone!” said the spy.

The insider echoed these sentiments, and said past seasons raised red flags, too. “It’s a total conspiracy. It’s not about who’s the best dancer or who’s improved the most. It’s about who has chemistry, a TV presence and a wide-open schedule for the promo trail!”
