Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a> star Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a> may be a frontrunner for season 32 of Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a>, but her crisp dance moves have put a toll on her body.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve noticed that I\u2019m having a lot of aches and pains that I never had before,\u201d the reality star told E! News<\/em><\/a> on Tuesday, October 31.<\/p>\n Besides the physical pain, Ariana, 38, has also noticed that her body has transformed differently than her fellow contestants. \u201cI have gained weight,\u201d she admitted to the outlet. \u201cI\u2019m really actually waiting for this body transformation to happen because I am confused.\u201d<\/p>\n Week after week, the Florida native has exceeded fan expectations during her intricate and breathtaking performances with partner and professional dancer Pasha Pashkov<\/strong>. In fact, the DWTS<\/em><\/a> judges Derek Hough<\/strong><\/a>, Carrie Ann Inaba<\/strong><\/a> and Bruno Tonioli<\/strong> have been impressed by Ariana\u2019s talent in the ballroom and have given some of their highest scores to the Bravolebrity.<\/p>\n During the first two weeks of the competition, Ariana received a mix of 7 and 6 scores after she danced the Tango to \u201cLove Myself\u201d and Samba to \u201cMe Porto Benito.\u201d However, she turned up the heat in her routines in the following weeks, resulting in receiving well-earned scores of 8 and 9.<\/p>\n \u201cTo every person who has voted for us, THANK YOU!
