A netizen’s comment on Stephen Nedoroscik’s performance on “Dancing with the Stars,” posted on November 26, 2024 | Source: Instagram.com\/dancingwiththestars<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0finale<\/a>\u00a0featured the top five couples: Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold, actress Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, “The Bachelorette” star Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, rugby player Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, and former NFL player Danny Amendola and Witney Carson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Each pair performed one final routine in hopes of winning the coveted mirrorball trophy after the semifinals ended without an elimination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Among the standout performances was Nedoroscik’s Quick Step with Arnold, which earned high praise from Judge Carrie Ann Inaba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“All I could think of while I was watching that dance is that Len Goodman, this gentleman, this mirrorball [trophy] right here, would have been smiling from ear to ear. That was absolutely the best I’ve ever seen you,” Inaba\u00a0remarked<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However,\u00a0Derek Hough<\/a>‘s feedback sparked controversy. Earlier, he had complimented Nedoroscik and his dance partner, “You’re like a burst of sunshine, like two little antidepressants dancing across the floor,” Derek\u00a0said<\/a>. “Seriously, he’s just radiating joy with every single step and dance out there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite his glowing remarks, Hough’s scoring decision\u2014awarding the pair a score of 9 instead of a perfect 10\u2014outraged fans, many of whom felt it was unjustified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Derec definitely doesn’t like Stephen he always has a bit for him & doesn’t want to give him the 10…Can they change Derrick as a judge [sic],”<\/i>\u00a0a user\u00a0wondered<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
