Dancing With the Stars 2020 season 29 has officially kicked off and Chrishell Stause fans are disappointed about the way that the judges scored her first dance. Chrishell Stause is usually lending her talents to Netflix's Selling Sunset, where she gets deep into drama and sells million-dollar mansions.
Ms. Satuse has been preparing her Tango to Pink's "Raise Your Glass" for weeks now. Chrishell Stause has shared DWTS tidbits to Instagram about the basic dance moves she's been learning with her dance partner Gleb Savchenko. The new Dancing with the Stars celeb seems to love her new gig. However, trading in her real estate powerhouse pumps for dance shoes may be more difficult than she thought.
Daily Mail reports that Ms. Stause had a less-than-stellar first performance, according to the Dancing with the Stars judges. Her score was a mere 13 points, leaving her third from the bottom. Chrishell ended up just above Carole Baskin and Charles Oakley. New judge Derek Hough was gentle with his criticism, stating "You are a little pigeon-toed, so everything you do is a little inward. But well done, good first dance," However, Bruno Tonioli was unafraid to show his skepticism, with a metaphor that Ms. Stause could really understand. "I know you can sell, and you managed to get the tango into escrow, but we're a long way before we're closing, darling," he stated. Nonetheless, he and other judges are intrigued to see what she will do next week.
Fans were understandably upset and took to Twitter to share their frustration. One user shared "Are we ready to talk about how chrishell got robbed tn", while another mentioned that the point difference between her and co-dancer Carole Baskin was hard to understand: "You can’t convince me Chrishell is only 2 points better than Carol and 1 point better than Charles". Another Selling Sunset fan added, "@Chrishell7 deserved WAY better than the judges gave her. Sucks to go second. #Teamsellingit all the way!" Not only do they think she deserved more than what judges gave her for the dance, considering the year this real estate agent has (due to her highly-publicized Selling Sunset divorce, some people assumed that she would get a few sympathy points.
While this dancing star's posture was stiff and the song, while a nice track, was a little bit wrong for the dance she did, the overall performance wasn't bad for a first attempt. It was certainly deserving of more than two points over Carole Baskin's "Eye of the Tiger Paso". It will be interesting to see what her next dance is and how she responds to her feedback. Chrishell Stause is incredible at bouncing back from pretty much anything. From poverty to divorce, she handles it all with grace and beauty and she'll do just the same on Dancing with the Stars.
