'Dancing With the Stars': AJ McLean Eliminated, and Backstreet Boys Fans Can't Believe It
11/10/2020 09:48 pm EST
When McLean was announced as one of the celebrities to be joining the show, many fans of The Backstreet Boys were quick to express their excitement, many of which solely tuned in to watch him and Burke compete. It's no surprise that with his departure, fans of his are tapping out from the show.
Backstreet Boys fans were all over social media after the decision to send McLean home. Inaba was the one who broke the tie in favor of Weir with Len Goodman also voting to keep the former figure skater. Derek Hough was the only one who wanted to keep McLean.
For McLean, he entered the competition with a serious fan base thanks to the uber-success of the Backstreet Boys in the late 90s and early 2000s. The band has continued to put together new music, recently putting out their ninth studio album in 2019.
As the judges faces showed, the bottom two for Monday's episode came as a complete surprise, although when it comes down to just seven pairs dancing, there's always going to be some tough cuts. Weir and McLean have put together some really impressive performances this season so it was definitely a shocker to see both of them in risk of going home.
With it being such a surprise, some fans pulled out a reference to the presidential election. With Donald Trump calling for a recount in multiple states, upset viewers are advising ABC to do the same.
Many viewers felt that Monday was going to be the night another popular singer was going to be eliminated. Out of the remaining contestants, Nelly and Daniella Karagach have been among the lowest scorers, in fact only netting a 24 in the latest round while two other pairs recorded a perfect score.
Dancing With the Stars will continue to dwindle the playing field next Monday. Season 29, which began in September, is scheduled to wrap up at the end of November.
