“Dancing With The Stars” fans aren’t happy with Carrie Ann Inaba after she seemed to be out of sync with her fellow judges on Tuesday night. Sadly, the situation led to Ariana Madix missing out on a perfect score.
Ariana Madix nearly had a perfect score
During Whitney Houston night on “Dancing With The Stars,” the contestants brought their A-games. Ariana Madix earned her best scores of the season with a Paso Doble danced to “Queen of the Night.” Fans loved it, and so did the judges. However, Carrie Ann Inaba didn’t think the performance was as flawless as the rest of the panel.
Judges Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, as well as guest judge Billy Porter, all gave Madix perfect 10’s. However, Inaba opted to give the “Vanderpump Rules” star a 9, keeping her from getting her first perfect score of the season.
Dancing With The Stars fans react to Carrie Ann Inaba’s scoring of Ariana Madix
Of course, “Dancing With The Stars” fans weren’t thrilled with Carrie Ann Inaba’s score for Ariana Madix’s killer performance. “Best dance of the night in my opinion, Carrie Ann is a hater,” one fan wrote via Reddit. “Pasha and Ariana deserved a perfect score for that performance, easily,” another wrote.
“Carrie Ann… are you kidding me. Every week our girl is robbed. ARIANA DESERVED A PERFECT SCORE!” one fan said on Twitter. “Carrie Ann robbed Ariana of a perfect score this week,” another agreed. “Ariana killed this week again. Carrie Ann cheated her of a perfect score,” another person stated.
Ariana Madix got her revenge in the scores
Ariana earned a 39 for their dance. Meanwhile, Xochitl Gomez received a perfect score for her amazing dance. While many fans believe that Madix should have also earned perfect marks for the night, the reality star got her revenge in the dance-off.
Madix ended up earning three extra points, and wound up at the top of the leaderboard. At the end of the night, Ariana and her partner Pasha topped the leaderboard with 42 points. Xochitl and Val were in second place with 40 points. Charity Lawson earned 39 points, Alyson Hannigan sat at 36, Jason Mraz at 33, and Harry Jowsey at 28.
Ariana and Pasha were safe, but Barry Williams was eliminated
Meanwhile, “Brady Bunch” star Barry Williams set the ballroom on fire during Whitney Houston night. Sadly, after an epic display in his dance-off, the actor was eliminated after having scored 35 points.
It’s clear that the frontrunners are emerging on “Dancing With The Stars” Season 32. Former pro dancer Maks Chmerkovskiy even revealed his picks for the season. Maks says that he believes Xochitl, Charity, Jason, and Ariana could be headed to the finals in a few weeks. Perhaps Madix can earn some perfect scores before then.
