Carrie Ann Inaba Faces Criticism on DWTS

Carrie Ann Inaba, a judge on 'Dancing with the Stars', faces criticism for her inconsistent scoring during the recent Halloween-themed episode, where she awarded multiple contestants perfect scores while giving lower ratings to others, raising concerns about potential bias. In particular, her decision to give a 9 to Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, who received high praise from fellow judges, has frustrated Kinney, who expressed confusion over the judging criteria. Fans have noted a pattern of Inaba's scores favoring male contestants, prompting allegations of gender bias, especially after she diverged from her co-judges in scoring Danny Amendola's performance. Insiders suggest that Inaba's tenure on the show may be in jeopardy, with discussions about potential replacements gaining traction. The backlash has led to a Change.org petition calling for her dismissal, as viewers demand fairer judging practices. In the midst of this controversy, Inaba's popularity among the show's staff remains, but her credibility as a judge is increasingly questioned.
