Top 10 Dancing with the Stars Scandals & Controversies

Don’t care about who is sleeping with who. Prior experience sibling judging the other - questionable. But, since Tom and Erin were fired - no more DWTS.

I sometimes enjoy watching this show if I like an athlete or celebrity on the show. But like all reality shows you need to take it with a barrel of salt. You have to improve as a dancer obviously but it’s much more important to stay interesting and be the character the producers want you to be. It’s fun but it’s junk TV. 😆😆😆

oaula deen dancing wasn't that bad she is precious

When people go shows like this and they can dance, people call them out. Ballet and tap are very different to a Jive and a Samba.

anyone with choreography, musicals, ice skating, gymnastics, etc. should not be allowed as obviously they have previous experience and know how to move with music. Arguing it's different is bs and just excuses. I haven't watched this for over 5 years because of the obvious fixing of winners and C grade dancers. I maybe know one or two of the "so called celebrities', really digging the bottom of the basement reality TV and has beens here,.

I think that the Alan and Alexis had a big controversy

Teen pregnancy prevention 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Crazy

Still can't believe that Bristol Palin made it past week 3. I quit watching the show because it thrives on controversy rather than talent. So frustrating.

The important thing to remember about dancing with the stars is that it’s mainly a popularity contest, NOT a dance contest. Most people just vote for the celebrity they like, instead of who they think danced the best.

The people that boycotted because of Chaz bono, they should be Ashamed of themselves just a bunch of Homophobic people. Who cares if a trans woman or man wants to be on the show, let them they are still Human Beings, people need to get over themselves.

Previous dancing experience is such a shit excuse as ballroom is hard and they're just as new to it as anyone. Heather Morris Mackenzie Ziegler both got ripped. I hope JoJo wins this season and is not just being used for her fame for the show like they clearly did with Mackenzie.

The Beatles for life

Lots of people complained about Skye winning because she was "too young" which is ludicrous

I feel like even if Alfonso did have any dance classes its no different than any famous pop star on there like Carlos or James from bigtime rush, Nick Carter or the new girl from spice girls. They have all obviously had some form of dance lessons so thats a crappy excuse. XD

I quit watching when Tom got fired.

People say Julianne shouldn’t judge Derek Hough but Motsi Mabuse judges Oti Mabuse on the British version with no complaints

And it continues. I would say that this year's winners have been picked out already unless the public actually gets a choice.

I still say that James Maslow was cheated!!!!!!

Dancing with a partner is far different from Broadway numbers. It involves trust, communication, Team work, who leads the dance

There is a very easy way to tell the show is rigged. I have seen more than 1 couple make the exact same mistake with their foot work. 1 couple will get called out for it, the other couple will receive praise for it. If it isn't the foot work, then their knit picking little things. A heel caught in a skirt, the pro messing up while their amateur partner gets it right. So they blame the "amateur" despite the pro owning it.

jojo will win this season

Brandy =🏆
Scandals= 😱

The Carlton Dance 😁

Previous dance experience is not the only thing that gives an edge. Athletes are used to punishing schedules and persistent pain. Gymnasts, specifically, will outperform anyone when it comes to lifts and throws. Singers have musicality. DWTS is entertainment. Maybe just don't take it so seriously. Except for Bristol Palin voters. You all are the worst.

thank GOD they changed the format. now there is a bottom two and the judges pick who they will save

Carol Baskin and a swimmer

Vinny is the new Jerry because how tf he ain’t go home yet

I'm sorry but everyone's expressions when Brandy got eliminated instead of the Palin girl were HYSTERICAL (especially Derek lmfao)

I’m sorry but the number one scandal was the judges rigging the score to make Kelly Monaco the winner. They gave her perfect scores after she fell during her dance because the only way she could win was with a perfect score. There’s no bigger scandal than that.

I mean what's the point of the judges if the audience has final say? Even if you get a perfect score you can still go home.

They really thought it was ok to have Juliana rate her own brother. 😅

Sadie Robertson should have won her season.

the people who accuse celebs of prior dance experience have never danced a day in their life🙄 solo dancing and partner ballroom dancing are pretty much 2 entirely different sports. ballroom dancing is an entirely different set of skills and any dancer will tell you that, it is like starting from scratch.

Hard to believe the winner is the man responsible for the Carlton? Have you ever seen ANYONE correctly do that dance other than Alfonso? Didn't think so.

Now please add when len didn’t give Charlie a 10 on week 5 with her anxiety Dance it was so good although I think that only happened because they wanted Selma to get the first perfect score

It’s called carisma! Alfonso has s both.. as far as the contestants, they are out there getting Paid, they can have an option but don’t bring down the house if you’re not winning (or are winning) depending on who’s crying. One more thing.. having a sister judging her brother is not a bad thing, matter of fact she will probably be harder on him because she knows his potential.

Jerry can’t dance. 😂🤣

If you want to talk about previous dancing experience, let’s look at the pair of ice dancers that were two of the contestants on the show

Also, the thing that Dancing with the Stars needs to learn to define is what stars are. I know people have different interpretations of that but reality TV personalities are not stars. Social media influencers are not stars.

my roman empire is bobby bones winning over milo or even any of the other finalists. i think they just wanted to finally give sharna a mirrorball because bobby was not the best finalist at all

YOU CAN ADD CHARLI DAMELIO TO THE LIST OF SCANDALS WITH PRIOR DANCE EXPERIENCE, AND PRIOR DANCE PRACTICE WITH DERRICK HIMSELF.

Go paula deen!!

Many DWTS celebs have dance experience, but not ballroom. Alfonso didn't have any more of an unfair advantage than Donny or Jennifer Grey. Many others, too.

Paula Deen: Former US President Jimmy Carter urged that Deen be forgiven, stating, "I think she has been punished, perhaps overly severely, for her honesty in admitting it and for the use of the word in the distant past. She's apologized profusely."

About chaz I could care less did not have the dancing chops

Zendaya was a better dancer they just pooched her freestyle trying to appeal to a youth audience that was not there

It was more contemporary than ballroom

Broadway is not ballroom

So what i hear with number one is that yall want contestants that cant dance have no background in dance on the show. Im sorry you wont watch and you know it
