'Dancing with the Stars' News Update: Nyle DiMarco in Competition with Val

Fan favorite DiMarco is all set and focused to win the star studded show - 'Dancing with the Stars'. He is extremely serious with his practice and rehearsals, and aim to score the perfect scores each time he performs in the show. With his promising performance, which peaked this week, leading to him getting perfect scores from a judge, producers were interested in whom he thinks is his greatest competition.

Nyle's reply, however, came as a surprise as he took the name of a professional dancer rather than a celebrity. This did raise a few eyebrows. According to reports, DiMarco has declined any sort of apology for comparing him, and his dance, to that of a professional dancer. The reason behind his arrogance was his majestic performance in the current week's episode as he was the subject of appreciation from the judges.

This erratic comparison did call for some interesting and bemused comments including one of the judges Len Goodman calling the comment as "ridiculous" as Val is not in direct competition. Rather, Chmerkovskiy pairing up with Ginger Zee is the real competition for DiMarco. Not to mention, there has been rumors on the rift of Val and Nyle in the media as Val was unhappy with DiMarco's association with Peta, who is engaged to Val's brother. However, Peta got exceedingly, and visibly protective of Nyle as she partnered with him.

The discomfort in the environment was quite apparent from the fact that most of the contestants on 'Dancing with the Stars' ignored DiMarco as he is deaf. Reports reveal that Peta was extremely dissatisfied with the hostility of the contestants and got protective of him. This camaraderie between the two was not taken in positive spirits by Val, and did cause a bit of grudge between the two.

Reliable sources revealed that DiMarco is all done playing the "decent guy" in the feud and aims to vent his anger on his performance and is desperate to win the competition. There was a mild tweeter battle between the two this week - all of which would spice up the future episodes of Dancing with the Stars.
