Longtime Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba might be dancing her way off the judges’ panel . Following the recent Halloween-themed episode , fans and insiders are buzzing over her “unpredictable behavior” and scoring decisions, which some say are out of sync with her fellow judges. During the night’s performances, Disney star Chandler Kinney and partner Brandon Armstrong wowed audiences with a routine inspired by personal fears, earning perfect 10s from Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
DWTS’ Derek Hough fuels Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber rumors with sly remark Julianne Hough posts spicy 'tease' video as fans rage she's 'craving attention' Yet, Inaba held back, scoring them a 9, explaining: “So it was really strong, but I wouldn’t call it perfection just because it’s such a higher criteria.” The decision led to an uproar among fans who believed Kinney’s performance deserved a perfect score. An insider shared with The US Sun: “Carrie Ann will always be part of the DWTS family , but as with any family, dynamics shift and things change.
She is very much beloved on set, but she doesn’t have her place quite like she used to.” Inaba’s lack of sync with cast and crew reportedly leads to “awkward moments” on set, some even captured by the cameras. “Her time seems to be up,” hinted the insider, adding, “I think it’s only a matter of time before the show pulls the trigger and brings in someone who the audience is excited about.

“Mark was so good as a guest judge that I literally forgot he was a guest. He was so natural and had great comments for each of the couples. I would love to see him return one day as a full-time judge!” one fan shared on Reddit .
Another added: “I would so love Mark to be a permanent judge. He just fits in so well, doesn’t feel unnatural, and I think everybody misses him.”.
