I used to frequent the DWTS board, and it was the general belief that the judges are hard on contestants whom they've heard haven't been putting in as many hours as others, in rehearsals. I know that Chris says that he is very hard working and all, but I have seen several photos of him leaving rehearsals while it is still light out, and I have wondered why. They always take that as not putting in enough effort in sparkle-land, and the judges make you pay for it.

I feel like they changed standards in the middle of the show. Willow wasn't that good.

It's really annoying how they score. Some people get low scores and then others who were just as bad get a lot better scores

They are over scoring a lot of them tonight which is dumb because they underscored Chris. He's going to go home next week.

Interesting. That makes sense, as I was expecting the worst after seeing the comments here, but he wasn't THAT bad.

Loved Rumer dancing to Rumor. That choreography was hot!

Oh no. Guess I won't bother watching.

I thought the total score was 50:50 dance score and voting....as long Chris's Bach fans vote for him....he won't go home next week. He has more name recognition than a lot of these stars IMO

This is good info to know. I suspected they were not "happy" with him period. But if he has had an injury what does he do unless his attitude has not been up to par -- like he has lost faith in it. no idea

Such a nice surprise for Noah.

Oh Noah! How amazing is that! :tissuebox

Chris won't go home next week. He might be in the bottom two (which aren't necessarily the bottom two) but he'll be around a while longer. Bachelor Nation is behind him.
