"Something I've yet to reveal on Jezebel dot com is that-much to my own surprise-I'm a massive The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fan. I have no issue with reality television, but outside of Real Housewives of New York City and MTV's Are You the One (the best reality dating show of all time, to be clear), nothing has ever really hooked me."
"So imagine my surprise Tuesday night when I felt...bummed? Angry? Devasted??? to see Leavitt eliminated one week before the finals. And I'm still not totally convinced this wasn't part of some bigger Whitney Leavitt-hater conspiracy theory. The third season of Mormon Wives premiered on Friday, and in it, Leavitt revealed she only returned to filming because she had the opportunity to audition for DWTS."
A fan of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives also enjoys Real Housewives of New York City and MTV's Are You the One, yet rarely connects with other reality shows. Whitney Leavitt proved polarizing: she is unpopular on Mormon Wives but earned praise for talent, stage presence, and TikToks while competing on Dancing With the Stars. Her elimination one week before the DWTS finals produced disappointment and suspicion of coordinated negative fan activity. Leavitt disclosed returning to Mormon Wives to secure an audition for DWTS, and some viewers criticized that choice. If organized voting influenced the result, fans lost another week of Leavitt-and-Ballas performances.
