Fans were left less than impressed as they shared clips of the dance on TikTok
DANCING With The Stars viewers couldn’t believe it after Alix Earle appeared to fall over after her performance on Tuesday night’s episode.
Joining pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy, the two took to the stage for this week’s highly-anticipated Wicked Night.
Alix and Val made their jazz routine to What Is This Feeling? look effortless.
But right at the end of the dance, it looked like Alix tripped up and fell to the stage, with clips being shared all over TikTok.
“Not sure if Alix messed up here,” one wrote. “She pulled it off so well.”
“Hmm could be but they wouldn’t make it obv if it wasn’t,” a second commented.
DWTS says goodbye to favorite couple as viewers accuse judges of ‘favoritism’
While the original uploader added, “I guess her expression made me think it could’ve been a mistake.”
Others are convinced their performance was supposed to end with Alix dropping to the ground.
One person wrote, “It’s meant to be like that.”
A second said, “The song is about them not getting along. It was on purpose.”
“I thought it looked like he pushed her and it was part of the whole dance routine lol but now that you point it out maybe,” a third wrote.
Another viewer explained, “Nooo he meant to push her down since the whole song is about loathing each other.
“I think her facial expression could’ve been a little bigger in that moment so that it didn’t just look like she fell hahaha but they still cruuuushed it tonight.”
A fifth concluded, “Only mistake is Alex not getting a 10.”
But other fans felt Alix and Val were acting more than dancing, as one wrote, “Idk I feel like they barely danced.”
Another said, “Def didn’t seem like an actual dance. More like storytelling and a few tricks. Then that slip whether it was intentional or not made no sense.”
Alix and Val got three nines and one eight from the judges.
SHOCKING ELIMINATION
It comes after fans accused judges of playing favorites and not giving the contestants the scores they deserve.
This week, hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro revealed that Scott Hoying and his partner, Rylee Arnold, received the fewest votes and were going home.
Viewers fumed that the judges for being too generous with their high scores.
“I am sorry but are we watching the same show tonight? These judges are crazy. How the hell did Robert not get all 10’s!? He was way better than all of these people. Don’t get me started on Whitney she did not deserve 10’s,” one commented.
“I’m still upset the only 10s were for Whitney..,” a second remarked.
“I really can’t begin to understand carrie ann’s voting criteria beyond it just being favoritism and going off pure vibes,” a third added.
