Why she might be annoying:

    She does bug impressions.
    Her nicknames include Cutie, Human Emoji, and Baby Shakira.
    She did a gig hosting a season of American Ninja Warrior.
    Like fellow DWTS winners Kristi Yamaguchi and Shawn Johnson, it has been - not unreasonably - argued that her profession as an Olympian athlete granted her an unfair advantage over her competition (especially since she had only just returned from Rio before joining the cast).

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her favorite book is The Maze Runner.
    She lists her favorite artists as One Direction and Ed Sheeran.
    She came back from a series of injuries in 2014 to compete in Rio.
    She is very close with her other Final Five teammates (Simone, Gabby, Aly, and Madison).
    She is the first Latina in over 30 years to compete in gymnastics at the Olympics.
    She opened up about experiencing emotional harassment from disgraced team doctor Larry Nassar (although she denied experiencing sexual abuse).
