@viallfiles: The DWTS lift police strikes again. 🚨🪩 Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd weigh in on Carrie Ann Inaba’s infamous lift policing after Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson’s performance on Dancing with the Stars. Are the judges being too strict, or are the rules the rules? Watch more DWTS reactions with Nick Viall and Natalie Joy Viall on The Viall Files. #DWTS #DancingWithTheStars #CarrieAnnInaba #HarryShumJr #TheViallFiles
I agree she changes her rules depending on who she likes.. look up what she said about Robert Irwin’s dance where she said lift rules out the window.

I really wish you were still a judge for I think I can dance. I missed the show. I just hated last year’s format. I thought you did a great job as a judge wasn’t so happy with the other ones.

My thing is if we’re going to call it a lift then Val should have been called out for a lift too in his Paso. The judging is not even.

My issue is she has no consistency from one contestant for the next

Samba has no lifts period. Partner or Troupes. Carrie is just not consistent.

This is exactly what I’m saying and someone was trying to act like I was stupid. I have a competed international ballroom and Latin and I was like in that same book partnership is defined as two people and couple as same thing of 2 people only. so with dancing with the stars, they can’t say they’re going off that same rulebook and then apply that rule to this when a partnership by that same definition doesn’t include troupe members.

I have a question was Whitney lifted in splits, a lift too?

You agree with Jenna because that’s your sister in law. You should know that in an actual ballroom competition there is no troupe so the troupe lifting him counted as a lift.

I think Carrie Ann should have been more clear about when the lift happened because everyone is thinking it’s the moment he was lifted not the moment at the end of the dance that he lifted her. Watch from this point on both her feet lift from the floor.

It was the fact that Jenna wasn’t asking for a definition she was asking for when and where

Knowing how Carrie A sticks to the lifting, I wouldn’t have added it in. A lift is a lift.

I am so confused because I have seen so many this season that in my mind would’ve been lifts.

Go back and watch all the dances. There was lifts in the season so far. This whole thing is wild.
