‘Dancing With the Stars’ Fans Slam Judges and Say Xochitl Gomez ‘Deserved Better’
Dancing With the Stars season 32 just wrapped week 3, and fans were enamored with the routines performed for the show's Motown night. But many felt a certain way in regards to one particular celebrity's routine, and they're making sure to voice their opinions loud and clear online.
For this week's routine, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) star Xochitl Gomez performed a Foxtrot with her partner Valentin "Val" Chermovskiy. As the duo swayed across the dance floor, the audience couldn't help but be enthralled by the whimsy and glamour they brought to the studio ballroom. As judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli and guest judge Michael Strahan showered the couple with praise, they later awarded them with a score of 32 out of 40 due to a slight slip-up in the routine.
Shortly after Xochitl and Val finished the night with their dance, Dancing With the Stars' official social team went online to celebrate their success. "Stuck like glue to @_xochitl.gomez and @valentin after their adorable Foxtrot! 🤩," read the official caption on October 10. "Incredible way to close #MotownNight."
While the two were immediately cleared to move on to Week 4 of the competition series, fans of Xochitl and Val were not happy with the score they received for the performance. As a result, they went to the comments to share their disappointment over the outcome.
"She deserved better than eights that’s for damn sure," one person wrote on Instagram. "8’s, really? She deserved 9’s," another agreed. "Should [have] had some nines, she was one of the best of the night, definitely underscored," a different viewer remarked.
Despite the outrage from her fans, Xochitl clearly didn't mind the results. As she later noted in her Instagram stories, she was just thrilled about doing something she never thought she'd ever pursue.
"Thank you to the wardrobe and creative team for making this dance shine and sparkle!" she wrote. "Seriously making my dreams come true! ❤️."
Needless to say, we're keeping our eyes peeled for Xochitl's next big feat!
