molder dancing with the stars by Peta Murgatroyd has something to choose from with the current reality TV dance competition scoring system.
“A nine to me is like you’re close to perfection, and perfection for a celebrity,” Murgatroyd, 39, said on the Friday, October 24, episode of her “Penthouse With Peta.” podcasttalking about the current season 34. “That’s why I feel like the scoring system is so, so difficult and so wrong.”
And he added: “We should start with two and three, but with nine [means] are almost there perfect. There are people who get nines and I don’t think they should get nines.” (teacher pfor the record, received two back during Season 2 for his now-disastrous pasodoble).
While Murgatroyd didn’t mention who didn’t deserve his top scores, the judges: Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonoili and guest Jon Chu — He dealt several nines to people like Whitney Leavitt, Jordan Chiles and Alix Earle on Tuesday, October 21, during Wicked Night.
At the beginning of the season, the judges had kept the scores at six and seven.
“Tonight’s score, just keep in mind, it may be a little lower than you expected because there’s a long way to go,” Hough, 40, explained during the season premiere last month. “This is a marathon. We want to give them room to grow.”
Derek’s sister and DWTS host, Julianne Houghappreciated the measure.
“I think over the years, we’ve done a lot of fusions of proper technical ballroom dancing and Latin dances have been fused into sort of hybrid dances,” Julianne, 37, said. in the program’s companion podcast At the moment. “I really appreciated Bruno and Derek lowering the scores a little bit because you want to be able to see people improve and be able to give them proper criticism so they can learn and grow.”
She added: “He would really be talking about the fundamentals and I think there was a lot of hybrid dancing.” [on Tuesday]which, by the way, I understand because we’re in this new generation of TikTok and it’s fun and entertaining. But that’s why dancing with the stars “It’s amazing because it’s technical, it’s genre-specific and it’s hard to do.”
In successive weeks, the former DWTS professionals like Kym Johnson-Herjavec and Cheryl Burke have assumed guest positions on the judging panel. (Burke, 41, will appear in Halloween night next week.)
“She’s not going to come in hard,” Burke said. exclusively said Us weekly on Thursday, October 23, defending Inaba’s comments that sparked rampant criticism from fans. “But then, when the judges are full of praise, [people] Get angry about that too. This is also the beauty of the show, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but don’t attack anyone.”
She continued: “If you’re opinionated and you happen to be a woman, there’s a little bit of that, right? Because, I’m pretty sure every judge has said the same thing at some point, but the reaction to them, to them as individuals, is very different.”
dancing with the stars airs on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8 pm ET.
