@deciderdotcom: Though his #DancingWithTheStars partner, Maura Higgins, was surprised by the Queen of Latin Shirley Ballas' tough judging criteria, Mark Ballas wasn't phased at all. He even went on to say that his mother has "very similar vibes" to the late Len Goodman when it comes to her critiques. #markballas #shirleyballas #maurahiggins #dwts

I honestly liked Shirley as a judge. She was critical but fair and acknowledged effort where it was due.

Uniqueoneofme :

I knew she wasn’t going to be giving mark favoritism

Joanne :

Love Shirly reminds me of Len she is strict in a good way makes the pros up their Choreography and challenge their celebrities!

Shortcakes :

Shirley is actually responsible for both mark and Derek choosing to pursue this show, when mark was first approached to do this show in the early 2000s, he turned it down. Both him and Derek had kind of stepped away from actually competing but Shirley then convinced them to try this opportunity out to see what it might lead to so…
