The duo performed the paso doble for their routine, and Inaba did not hold back, saying that Bristowe appeared to have given up, and her “spirit dropped” during the dance.
Inaba called Bristowe out again the following Monday for her lift not being up to snuff.
Inaba’s score, combined with her fellow judges, gave the Bristowe/Chigvintsev pairing a 24 for their performance, which many thought was too low.
In case you missed that drama, the Dancing with the Stars dust-up is tied to Carrie Ann Inaba’s recent critique of The Bachelorette’s Kaitlyn Bristowe during Villains Night, for which Bristowe dressed as 101 Dalmatians’ villain Cruella de Vil opposite her pro partner Artem Chigvintsev.
