Is Sean Spicer headed for the top at Dancing with the Stars?

Expected to be “eliminated” from the popular TV series on the first night and criticized internally by some DWTS staff, he has repeatedly escaped the cut.

And in advance of tonight’s Episode 5, he has expanded his campaign for votes with an endorsement from President Trump and a series of celebrities including country music star John Rich, Kristy Swanson, who played Buffy Summers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, former Patriots tackle Matt Light, and friends and family.

“It’s working,” he told Secrets.

Sometimes awkward, mocked for his outfits and regularly criticized by the show’s judges, Spicer and his professional dancing partner Lindsay Arnold have never been at the bottom of the scores. And they haven’t even been in the two bottom slots, those that face elimination.

Friends credit his unusual online politically-styled Spicer-Arnold campaign for votes that includes endorsements.

Spicer told Secrets, “So far, it’s been three rounds and never in the bottom two, which is amazing.” He said that there are “clearly people out there that support us and want us to continue.”
