“DANCING WITH THE STARS” JUDGES RECEIVED BACKLASH AFTER THEIR TREATMENT FOR GRAZIADEI AND JENNA JOHNSON’S SAMBA

After their Samba performance, Hollywood star Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson received mixed reactions from both the judges of “DWTS” and social media users.

As their show was over, the points they earned from the judges received some comments at the social media, where some people thought they deserved more, and some talked about the mistakes they made.

For the “Disney Night” themed episode, Joey and Jenna chose to be Tarzan and Jane.

They received some comments like:

“He deserved at least all 9s! I was shocked that he didn’t get a 10,”

“Definitely deserved higher than 8s. Even though I love Stephen, he rushed his steps throughout the entire dance, and he got 8s as well. I am doubting the accuracy of the judges’ scores each week!”

“Joey and Jenna deserve to win that was an outstanding dance Tarzan and Jane. They did incredibly great. I’d be disappointed if they weren’t the number one winners.”

“Once agin the judges need eye glasses [sic]!! […] This upsets me when they do this kind of stuff!!”

“They messed up on the first episode, giving such high scores,”

“I feel like I just don’t know what the requirements for scoring are, because to me Jenn and Joey’s dance were [sic] much better than Phaedra and Dwight, so not sure why they all got the same scores?”

“They need to hide the ‘8’ paddles from the judges lol. I’m kidding but it really just seemed like the default score for nearly everyone,”

“i’m [sic] extremely disappointed with the judging this season.”

As they gave a peek from their performance before the show, Graziadei shared a post with the caption, “Really getting into character for this one! So excited for ‘Disney Night.’ Remember to text JOEY to 21523 at the top of the show 🙏🏽.”

“It’s amazing. I’m just going to support Jenn fully. I know a lot of things have come from all this, and I think she’s just really excited for her next opportunity, and I’m going to support her fully.” Graziadei said back in September of 2024.
