Kim KardashianKhloé staged “Vote for Kim” T‑shirts on Robertson Boulevard to manipulate Dancing With The Stars votes, a move that still fuels fan theories about a possible Kardashian reunion on the show.
During a candid chat on Khloé’s “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast, the reality star recounted how she turned a simple T‑shirt into a public‑voting weapon. “We wanted people to vote for me, so we made ‘Vote for Kim’ shirts and walked down Robertson Boulevard. You knew where they were, so you would just go,” she said.
Background: A Brief DWTS History
Kim entered Season 7 of Dancing With The Stars in 2008, partnered with professional dancer Mark Ballas. Despite the hype, she was the third celebrity eliminated. Her brother Rob Kardashian later competed in Season 13 and finished second, highlighting the family’s mixed track record.
Kim’s “Vote for Kim” Tactics
The strategy was a textbook example of guerrilla marketing:
- Custom “Vote for Kim” apparel created a visual cue for viewers.
- High‑traffic location (Robertson Boulevard) ensured paparazzi and fans captured the shirts on camera.
- Social media amplification turned the street walk into a viral moment.
These moves echoed the Kardashian brand’s early reliance on paparazzi‑engineered moments to build fame, a method detailed in Parade.
Why It Still Resonates With Fans
Fans love the blend of drama and DIY promotion. The “Vote for Kim” story fuels ongoing speculation about a Kardashian‑driven revival of DWTS, especially as the family’s reality shows continue to dominate streaming platforms. Social‑media chatter often references the 2008 stunt when discussing potential future appearances.
Family Dynamics and Future Possibilities
Khloé’s reaction—“And be desperate”—underscores the competitive sibling dynamic that has powered many Kardashian headlines. Rob’s comment that “my sister’s not really competitive” adds another layer, suggesting that any future Kardashian‑DWTS collaboration would require a fresh approach.
The episode also highlights how reality‑TV fame can be both a launchpad and a learning curve. Kim’s later success with Skims, The Kardashians on Hulu, and numerous business ventures shows that a brief dance stint didn’t hinder her empire—rather, it added a quirky footnote that fans still revisit.
