Bobby Bones is one of the more controversial winners in Dancing with the Stars history, and he’s now sharing how he actually “cheated” while on his path to winning the Mirror Ball trophy.

“I never wanted to do the show. I had never danced, not once. I was on American Idol…[and] they said, ‘Hey, go and do Dancing With the Stars to promote American Idol.’ I was like, ‘OK, but I’ve never danced.’ They were like, ‘It’s fine. Nobody wins that show that’s never danced and you’ll be off in four weeks,’” he said on Jason Tartick‘s “Trading Secrets” podcast.
He shared, “I don’t do anything halfway. And that show, they don’t tell you how you’re actually doing. All you know is you’re surviving. I was a fish out of water. I had no idea what I was doing.”
He continued, “I cheated, in the way of, they give you a limited amount of time with your partner. Four hours a day, they say. So we would do our four, I would record the session and then go by myself and rent a studio myself and train myself. Like, illegally spent time over… because I was so far behind everybody else.”
“I wasn’t in any way polarizing on the show, other than I sucked. “I didn’t run out and [say], like, ‘I’m the best.’ I tried as hard as I could and I got sevens, a couple sixes. A couple eights.”
