Dancing With The Stars fans are quaking following the shows’ most recent Halloween episode. Fans are upset that judge Carrie Ann Inaba was judging the dance pairs “unequally” during the competition.
Fans Shade Carrie Ann Inaba for Judging Unfairly on DWTS Halloween Nightmares Night
Dancing With The Stars fans are wondering how much longer Inaba will be on the judging panel after her week of “unfair” judging. For those who may have missed it, Inaba gave 10’s to each celebrity on Tuesday night’s episode, except Chandler Kinney and Ilona Maher. Throughout the episode, fellow judges Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli had differing scoring compared to Inaba.
Fans believe that Inaba is judging women harsher in the competition. For those who may not know, Inaba ends up with this critique almost every year. Former The Bachelorette contestant Charity Lawson, experienced similar differences in scoring during her season of the series.
Backlash for Inaba comes as the panelist is about to hit her 20th anniversary on the show. Many believe Inaba will not make it to this milestone due to her scoring.

Source Explains Inaba Creates “Awkward Moments”
Following the criticisms, a source revealed Inaba’s fate on the series to The US Sun. Although the judge will “always be part of the DWTS family but as with any family, dynamics shift and things change.”
According to the source, Inaba “doesn’t have her place quite like she used to. She doesn’t fit in as well as she once did.”
The source clarified that Inaba isn’t “doing a bad job,” instead she isn’t fitting in with the show. Apparently, this is leading to “many awkward moments on set, some captured by the cameras.”
Finally, the source admits that Inaba’s time on the series “seems to be up.” They also stated “it’s only a matter time before the show pulls the trigger and brings in someone who the audience is excited about.”
The source seems to think Mark Ballas is in mind as her replacement, since fans received the Mirrorball Champion well earlier this season. Fans will have to wait to see if Inaba is replaced next season.
Until then, this season’s competition is continuing on November 12 at 8pm ET on ABC and Disney+. The show will return with their milestone 500th episode.
