DWTS Contestant Harry Jowsey Hits Back at Critics Following Jason Mraz's Voting Comment
Dancing With the Stars' Harry Jowsey hits back at critics after Jason Mraz's seemingly critical voting comment Jowsey refuses to be discouraged, showcasing his determination to stay in the competition and prove his worth on November 16
The Dancing With the Stars ballroom has become the battleground for Harry Jowsey and Jason Mraz as they continue to fiercely compete.
Mraz, aged 46, appeared to make a subtle dig at Jowsey, aged 26, on his Instagram Story on Thursday, November 16. He posted a picture of himself and his dance partner, Daniella Karagach, with Mraz crossing his eyes and waving at the camera. He captioned the photo with “Vote for Harry” and added “#delirious” over his forehead.
Shortly after, Jowsey shared a selfie on his own Instagram Story, which some fans believed to be a response to Mraz. In the photo, Jowsey can be seen softly smiling while driving his Lamborghini. The caption reads, “Winners focus on winning and losers focus on winners.”
Mraz and Jowsey have been participating in a fierce rivalry on the 32nd season of DWTS, which kicked off in September. Despite consistently finding themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard for the past four weeks, their performance on Tuesday, November 14, inspired by Whitney Houston, Jowsey and their professional partner Rylee Arnold have managed to remain in the competition thanks to the votes from their dedicated fans. These votes contribute to half of their overall score.

Mraz, on the other hand, secured a solid fourth place with a score of 33 out of 40 on Tuesday night. Although Barry Williams and pro dancer Peta Murgatroyd, who received a standing ovation for their performance, outperformed Jowsey and Arnold by placing higher with a score of 18, they were unfortunately eliminated.
Adding to the surprises, the previous week saw Lele Pons and Brandon Armstrong shockingly eliminated on Music Video Night, causing fans to voice their protest against their departure.
“Someone needs to put a stop to the constant voting for Harry every week. It makes no sense that Lele got eliminated,” expressed one user on X. Another user commented, “This season is totally unfair and biased.” A third fan exclaimed, “What on earth? How did Lele end up eliminated while Harry is still in the competition?”

Pons, who is 27 years old, responded to the public backlash through social media on Tuesday. "I am in disbelief that there are people protesting...," she expressed. "I love you all and I will see you when I return for the finals ️ #dwts."
Despite facing strong competition from Mraz, Jowsey does not have any animosity towards Pons following her elimination.
Pons revealed in a TikTok video on November 9 that Harry is one of his favorites. According to Pons, Harry had reached out to him the previous night, expressing a desire for Pons to leave instead so that Harry could stay and replace him. Pons pleaded with Harry to win the competition on his behalf. In response, Harry simply urged viewers to vote, expressing his confusion over the situation.
