Carrie Ann Inaba Faces Criticism on DWTS

Carrie Ann Inaba, a judge on 'Dancing With The Stars' since 2005, is facing increasing criticism from fans regarding her scoring and perceived bias against female contestants. Viewers have called for her replacement, particularly after her scoring during a recent Halloween episode, where she awarded lower scores to female performers despite their challenging routines, while giving higher scores to less demanding performances. Inaba addressed the backlash in a recent interview on 'Good Morning America', acknowledging that while the criticism sometimes hurts, she welcomes it as part of her role. Fellow judges Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli are reportedly frustrated with her unpredictable judging style, which has led to speculation about her future on the show. Fans are rallying for former contestant Mark Ballas to replace her, praising his guest judging performance as natural and insightful. Despite the turmoil, Inaba remains optimistic about the show's evolution and the passion of its viewers.
