ABC's Dancing With the Stars Season 33 aired its latest episode on October 29, 2024. The recent episode featured the contestants alongside their pro dance partners, showcasing their skills in the competition.
The dance competition show's latest episode theme was "Nightmares," owing to Halloween night. With such a haunted theme, the choreographers added a related touch of dance and costume to their performances with the stars.
Among the participants, Chandler Kinney and her pro dance partner Brandon danced to Denmark + Winter's Secret. The duo featured a Viennese Waltz dance during the Halloween theme episode.
After delivering a stunning performance, Chandler Kinney and her partner were awarded two "10" scores from the judges. However, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba gave them a score of "9," which fans didn't appreciate.
After witnessing the dancing duo feel short of merely one point, fans took to social media platform X and slammed the judge.
A Dancing With the Stars fan wrote on X,
"No matter what chandler does, it is never good enough for carrie ann. week after week she is continuously better than everyone. to hand out 10s to literally everyone but her just speaks on her character. black woman always have to work 10x harder to be appreciated. #dwts."
Another fan commented,
"Can we eliminate Carrieann tonight instead? #dwts."
A fan of Chandler Ann Kinney shared,
"Wait, NOW you're gonna not give that 10, CarrieAnn when it comes to criticizing Chandler?! #DancingWiththeStars | #DWTS."
A DWTS fan wrote on X,
"Okay so Ilona and Chandler have the hardest dances so Carrieann won't give them 10s but gives everyone else with easier dances 10s? #dwts."
One more fan commented,
"The way CarrieAnn is throwing those 10s like candy. Why didn't Ilona at least get her first 10? Hmmmm....?! #DancingWiththeStars | #DWTS."

"Hands up if you think Carrie Ann needs to get a grip on her scoring #DWTS."
One more Dancing With the Stars fan commented,
"carrieann……… just stop. that was such BS towards chandler like are u kidding. i'm so glad derek and bruno both gave 10s. all of a sudden she doesn't wanna give 10s anymore after giving them all night? get real. #dwts."
Another fan wrote about judges needing to “pass” certain tests,
"I think judges on DWTS should have to pass a drug and breathalyzer test before each show #dwts #cai #carrieann."
A fan shared about giving 10 points,
"CARRIEANN! Out of ALL the 10s you've been throwing, you COULDN'T have thrown a 10 Chandler's way?!"
A DWTS fan wrote,
"#dwts CARRIEANN DONT PISS ME OFF IN EHAT WAY DOES THAT NOT GET A 10 BUT DWIGHT DOES."

Dancing With the Stars: Chandler received two "perfect scores" while Carrie Ann Inaba gave "9"
The recently released Dancing With the Stars episode featured Chandler and her pro dance partner Brandon, who performed a Viennese Waltz routine. The duo danced to Denmark + White's Secret.
Along with working hard throughout their practice sessions, Chandler shared about the song and the dance form. She revealed how her performance was inspired by the "creepy" doll at her grandmother's house.
The Dancing With the Stars participant also mentioned the doll "randomly" moving around every time she visited. It was later that Chandler realized that her siblings were tricking her.
With a fantastic performance paired with "creepy doll" vibes played by Chandler, the pair secured two perfect scores: 10 from Bruno Tonioli and 10 from Derek Hough.
However, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba gave the duo a score of nine. She mentioned that Chandler's performance was "good" but "imperfect" and shared her thoughts.
Seeing Chandler and her partner not getting the perfect score of 30, fans took to social media platform X and slammed the judge for her score. Fans felt Carrie didn't appropriately score the performance, which received two 10s from her fellow judges.
Fans can stream Dancing With the Stars Season 33 on ABC every Tuesday.
