DWTS' Ciara Miller Jokes About Who She's "Fighting With" on Cast

Why Ciara Miller Made Carrie Ann Inaba Cry on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Premiere

Ciara Miller isn't dancing around her onscreen relationships.

As the Summer House star continues to compete on Dancing With the Stars season 35 alongside partner Brandon Armstrong, she shared a glimpse into her dynamics with her costars on both reality TV shows.

"Honestly, it's very nice," Miller told E! News in an exclusive interview on Sept. 29 about her time on DWTS. "I don't have to worry about us going to dinners and who's gonna fight who. It's honestly so nice. The only person I'm fighting with is Brandon, which, that's a given."

The pro—who, with Miller, earned an 18 out of 30 for their cha-cha to Luther Vandross' "Never Too Much" during Yacht Rock Night—playfully pushed back on their ongoing tiffs as they vie for the Mirrorball trophy.

"It's not the best for her because I always win," Armstrong teased, "so then, at that point, it's like, what are we doing?"

But Miller—who was marked safe, with Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart being eliminated during the week 3 episode—was quick to shut down her partner's comments. After all, learning a new dance and routine each week isn't for the weak-footed.

"Shut up, that's not true," she quipped. "But I know that's predictable. I know I'm gonna fight Brandon, full stop. Great, whatever. I can move on from that. I'm not gonna get my feelings hurt because I can also throw it back, too."

And the vibes in the ballroom are a stark contrast to the Hamptons home she shares with Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Kyle Cooke, former BFF Amanda Batula, ex West Wilson and more.

"It's honestly nice to be able to cheer on the competition and my friends," Miller explained. However, she emphasized, "It's still psychological warfare. Reality TV is psychological warfare. The show is also that in the same way, just because it is also a competition at the end of the day and we are all competing."

So, as she put it, "Same in some ways. Very, very different in the best ways."

However, I added five more Dancing With the Stars on the board."
