"It's so hard," she said. "I ran into two of the dancing pros at the grocery store yesterday and I told them 'I don't know how I'm gonna vote for everybody'."

Amanda also talked about her growing love for the show, having also hosted the nationwide tour that took place after the season ended and Iman Shumpert was declared the victor.

"Not only of course am I such a close friend of Alan's [Bersten], but I love all of them. So I somehow have to figure out how I can split my votes up fairly."
