Danica McKellar Calls 'Dancing with the Stars' a 'Reality Show' When Cheryl Burke Asks If She Believes It's 'Rigged' tram

Danica McKellar had the perfect response when Cheryl Burke hit her with some rapid-fire questions about her experiences on Dancing with the Stars.

McKellar, 49, competed on season 18 of the show with Val Chmerkovskiy in 2014, and during a Nov. 18 appearance on Burke's podcast, Sex, Lies and Spray Tans, she revealed what she thinks about the dance competition show when she looks back.

When Burke, 40, asked if McKellar thinks the show is "rigged," the Wonder Years star replied, "I think it's a reality show, not a dance competition show."

"Smart answer," Burke responded.

Another rapid-fire question McKellar answered was about who she thinks is more likely to "fall in love first, the celebrity or the pro dancer," as Burke said, "It does happen. People fall in lust, not love."

"Probably a celebrity will fall in love with the pro," she replied, as she said that at least feels like the case "if the woman is the celebrity because you feel taken care of."

McKellar reflected more generally on her time on the show during the podcast episode, too, as she revealed that Val, 38, and his brother Maks Chmerkovskiy, who was also competing that season with partner Meryl Davis, had an agreement of sorts.

"Both of them wanted [Maks] to win that season because he had never won before. And with Meryl Davis as his partner, that was fine. So, like, Val from day 1, he was like, 'I want my brother to win this.' I'm like, 'It's fine,'" she recalled.

"I was really touched by the fact that Val wanted Maks to win, and I always thought that was really cool of him. And so that kinda made me feel like, okay. Well, I I love the love between the brothers, and I wanted to support that."

Maks, 44, and Davis, 37, went on to win the mirror ball trophy that season, and it remains the only time Maks secured a win in his 25-season run on the show.
