The latest episode of Dancing with the Stars season 33 aired on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. This week’s theme, centered around Halloween, challenged the contestants and their professional partners to confront their fears through a Nightmares-inspired dance performance. Each couple’s choreography was influenced by a haunted character or concept.
Alongside their individual performances, the stars were also required to engage in a dance battle, with those scores contributing to their overall tallies from the judges. In the last episode, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong secured immunity from the dance-off after accumulating the highest total scores for the season. However, they were still obligated to showcase their weekly routine.
For this Halloween-themed evening, Chandler and Brandon delivered a Viennese Waltz to the haunting melody of “Secret”by Denmark + Winter. They earned two perfect 10s from the judges for their effort, but Carrie Ann Inaba’s score of 9 prevented them from achieving a flawless total.
Fans of Dancing with the Stars took to X to voice their displeasure with Carrie Ann’s scoring, arguing that her judgment seemed unfair. Many felt that Chandler’s performance surpassed those of other participants and deserved a perfect score.
“It’s absurd that Carrie Ann gives the men 10s and only a 9 to Chandler when her performance was flawless compared to others,”one fan remarked.
“Carrie Ann’s going to deprive Chandler, the standout dancer of the night, of her deserved 10,”another fan expressed.
“Chandler received two 10s from the judges who count. I’m baffled by Carrie Ann’s reasoning tonight,”a social media user tweeted.
The criticism continued as various fans pointed out Carrie Ann’s inconsistency in scoring, particularly how she gave perfect scores to other contestants but not to Chandler.
“So you’re dishing out 10s like candy, only to ‘run out’ when it’s Chandler’s turn?”one user reacted.
“It’s ridiculous that Carrie Ann gives 10s so generously tonight and then provides Chandler with a 9 after her outstanding performance. Something’s off,”someone commented.
Support for Chandler echoed through the audience, especially as many expressed their agreement with the booing directed at Carrie Ann for her decision.
“Carrie Ann is in tears because of the boos directed at her for penalizing Chandler while celebrating the men’s more lackluster efforts. She absolutely deserved that backlash,”a viewer stated.
“It’s absurd that Carrie Ann holds Chandler to an unattainable standard while giving others a pass,”another user noted.
Carrie Ann Inaba Comments on Chandler’s Technical Performance
Chandler and Brandon’s Viennese Waltz, set to “Secret”by Denmark + Winter, showcased Chandler’s inspiration from childhood nightmares, particularly involving a “creepy doll”from her grandmother’s house. She shared that the doll had a reputation for mysteriously moving around during her visits, although she later discovered it was a prank orchestrated by her brothers and cousins.
The duo struck a perfect balance between the elegance of the waltz and the eerie ambiance created by the doll’s memories. Their performance was met with enthusiasm from the judges. Bruno Tonioli praised their act, likening their routine to a “haunting gothic tale”and granting them a score of 10. Meanwhile, Derek Hough echoed this sentiment, calling their performance “absolute perfection,”also awarding them a 10. In contrast, Carrie Ann expressed her belief that, while the dance was good, it lacked technical depth, leading her to score them a 9, resulting in a total of 29 out of 30.
