'DWTS' 2021: Peloton's Cody Rigsby Is Either the Most Obscure or Popular Dancer, Depending on Who You Ask

Attracting new viewers
"I watched some of DwtS tonight. I've never seen it before," wrote one fan. "But we were supporting [Cody Rigsby]."
Showing support for the 'Peloton cult'
"I can't believe I just watched 2 hours of dancing. It was entertaining. 10 votes texted for Cody and 10 for Jojo," tweeted one fan. "Have to support my Peloton cult and representation."
Eager voters
"So I can't watch dancing with the stars til tomorrow bc Hulu, but you bet I already voted for the only reason why I'll even be watching," added another person, who shared a screenshot of their maxed-out 10 votes for Rigsby.
What does the show consider a 'star'?
"I'm sorry, a friggin Peloton Instructor is now considered a 'star'!?" questioned one viewer in disbelief before going on to throw a diss at Giannulli. "Who's next, Lori Loughlin's daughter?? Ohh... s-."
Ranting
"Ok I am gonna rant here: who the hell is this peloton guy? Why the hell is he famous?" asked another clearly bothered by this year's celebrity lineup. "He isn't a celebrity just because he was on a peloton class."
Feeling 'personally attacked'
"I feel personally attacked that a Peloton instructor is on [DWTS]," added somebody else who went on to share that it has been "my dream since I was 13 but okkkkkkk."
Pulling double duty?
"I'm actually super curious how Cody is managing the DWTS practice and show schedule with the Peloton schedule," asked another person. "Like did he take a red eye last night after the show?"
