LOS ANGELES—Accusing the competition series of “blatant favoritism,” Dancing With The Stars fans took to social media Tuesday to criticize the show for allowing contestant Whitney Leavitt to use an extra pair of legs. “How in the world did Whitney get not two, but four different legs to use during her performance?” Dancing With The Stars fan Anne Hordern said in a widely shared post that slammed the judges for clearly giving the six-limbed Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives an unearned advantage. “It’s not fair! If it was just an extra arm or something, I’d say ‘whatever,’ but two extra legs? Come on. Meanwhile, Robert [Irwin] is a million times more talented, and yet he’s being forced to perform limbless.” At press time, fans were in an uproar after Leavitt’s legs had reportedly doubled to eight.
