Tons of fans were upset over DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba’s harsh critique of Bachelor Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson. After the duo danced a phenomenal freestyle to Jamiroquai’s hit track, “Canned Heat.” Joey and Jenna went with a tennis theme for their dance since Joey is a tennis pro.
Carrie Ann wasn’t a huge fan of it. She said, “I just found that to be a tad underwhelming. I just found some of the angles, because of the racket, had to be super tight and it just didn’t nail it.” She also noted that their energy seemed to dip in the middle of their performance.
When Carrie Ann started spewing her criticism the crowd went wild including Kelsey Anderson. She along with many others booed Carrie Ann while giving the thumbs down. She was sure to scream her boos loudly in support of Joey and Jenna.
Kelsey Anderson wasn’t the only significant other who was upset with the critique from Carrie Ann Inaba. Val Chmerkovskiy also shared his disappointment with the judge’s harsh words. He went to social media to share his thoughts about Carrie’s words toward Joey Graziadei and his wife Jenna Johnson.
He showed a selfie on Instagram Stories looking disgusted and confused and wrote, “Whaaaat did you say his racket swing needed to be tighter? What!? “10 weeks of busting your ass for that?! Unbelievable.”
Val and Kelsey were still not the only ones who couldn’t believe Carrie Ann said what she said. Derek Hough did not agree with her harsh words at all. He told Joey and Jenna that they were amazing. He said, “How dare you, Carrie Ann? Joey, that was phenomenal. And Jenna, your body of work all three seasons, what you produce year after year is incredible. Joey, that was a fantastic Freestyle.”
In the end, Carrie Ann’s words didn’t matter. Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson were crowned the winners of Season 33.
