'DWTS' Season 32 Motown Night: Viewers accuse judges of 'picking favorites' after Lele Pons' 'terrible' dance

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lele Pons and her pro partner Brandon Armstrong was the second performer of 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32's Motown Night. Seeing the couple excel every week with good scores, fans slam the judges for going easy.

On Motown Night, Lele performed Cha Cha. And, there were a bunch of mistakes and shakiness in the performance. Despite their sloppy dance moves, the judges seem to have scored the couple pretty well.

Seeing this, a few took to the Twitter to call out the judges for being too lenient on certain contestants. One wrote, "We can clearly see the judges have picked favorites. Barry: lots of technique, no mistakes, just frame issues = 25/40. Lele: mistakes, balance issues, fumbled choreo = 27/40. But Lele is young and pretty, so she gets a pass."

Another fan claimed, "Over scored. Should have been all 6s." A fan tweeted, "Sorry, it was super freaking not so good. Legs, feet not together, looked like she was marching. Barely any of the ChaCha basics shown or executed."

One called out Lele's performance, "Not in the groove with this one. Week 3 us tough." "There was zero cha cha in her steps. Why 7’s for this terrible display of a cha cha," wondered one.

Lele and her partner Brandon performed Cha Cha on 'Super Freak' by Rick James. She danced with confidence. However, there were a lot of mistakes that were clearly noticed by the judges.

Michael Strahan dubbed the performance to be "Sexy, strong, smooth, aggressive." Bruno Tonioli on the other hand claimed, "You sell it, I buy it." The judge noticed two movements where Lele lost balance.

Carrie Ann Inaba suggested Lele to be careful to protect her core strength in the performance. She claimed Lele sometimes goes "too wild" in her dance.

Derek Hough did not believe it was Lele's best performance as the judge thought she was off balance at many places.

Despite many mistakes, Lele managed to swipe three 7s and one 6, with a total of 27/40.
