Chandler Kinney’s Semi-Finals Foxtrot - Dancing with the Stars

[@mariacleto1502]

I literally thought she was gonna WIN . They were my favorite for dancing so fantastic !!

[@LexTVi]

I’m so proud of Brandon! Derek was spot on with his comments. Chandler has brought out the best in him as a dancer and choreographer. This season he crafted some masterpieces!! 🥰

I honestly feel this way about all the stars and their partners. I think each star this year brought out the best in each of their partners. Each pro grew significantly this season.

Chandler is so lyrical in her movements. You feel every emotion she's feeling in this dance, the frustration, sensuality, love... This is storytelling at its finest!! Let's get them that mirrorball 🎉❤

Iconic. The outfits were absolutely stunning, such a perfect shade. Plus, beautifully sensual dancing 💯

Truly one of the best foxtrots EVERRR!! I love the theme of this dance, the passion, HER FRAME!!!

That was a 10-10-10 dance!!

Exactly 💯 ❤

[@Hmy8799]

OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!!!! I mean from the attitude to the set and obviously the dancing was the most premium we’ve seen this season!! They’re MOST DEF not looking like brother/sister here! LoveloveLOVE that they brought the passion to the dance floor! Gah, I can’t get over how they have delivered Every. Single. Dance!! I honestly would never have guessed I’d ever think this about Brandon (no matter who he was paired with) during any of the past seasons. But holy croiky! Just YESSSSSSS🙌🙌🙌

I really hope they win this show!!

Same here ❤🎉

[@MajesticMyronn]

CHANDLER IS BACKKKKK!!! That Foxtrot was intense but extremely sensual & beautiful! This could’ve been like a Tango/Foxtrot fusion that’s how iconic this was! She had so much extension, lots of fluidity, she has so many natural nuances in her movement it blows my mind! Absolutely stunning performance! It’s a 10!

[@Givyj13]

This Foxtrot should go down in history as one of the best on the show!

[@Hmy8799]

I’m sure it will! I mean…no doubt. I’m still in awe, and I’ve watched it many a time over🙃 I’ve randomly become such a fangirl of theirs! I usually don’t have a major favorite, but I can’t get over how amazing it is to watch them dance! I almost always get chills at some point!

[@angeladilone4996]

I NEED this version of the song!!! SOOO GOOOD...GREAT JOB TO THE BAND ❤

[@stacytrowell6890]

They need to just hand her the trophy!!! She's on another level than any other dancers. Joey's a good dancer, but Chandler's in a league of her own dancing like a professional. The guys have it so much easier than the girls when it comes to critiques from judges.

[@Hmy8799]

Absolutely couldn’t agree more with this! It’s what I’ve been saying/thinking since about ep. 3. Joey is definitely a great dancer, but Chandler is truly on a different level.

[@ajr3105]

She should be good shes had dance instruction since she was little. The guys have to work twice as hard to even touch her. She went to an academy. That's a huge leg up. I've taken ballroom, jazz and ballet. If you've had dance instruction you'll know how to move in ballroom.

[@sadcub1]

​@@ajr3105 Chandler hasn't trained in dance for a decade. It is not surprising that she is good, but it doesn't take away from the fact that she is very good and has improved. This is usual for DWTS. No one works harder than anyone else, but everyone starts on an uneven playing field. But then anyone can make it to the top.

[@chavelah]

bffr just because i can sing britney spears doesn’t mean i automatically have a professional handle on opera. this is a failure to understand and respect that different genres and disciplines require different things.

[@stacytrowell6890]

I don't want to hear crap about people having experience when all the ladies that have won the show had previous dance experiences!!! Don't start that 💩cause it's Chandler's turn. The guys have it easier cause the lady pros do all the dancing, making the routines look amazing. Only top-notch male dancers with experience have been Alphonso,Ryder,the black guy from HS musical can't remember his name.

[@trevorwinship1246]

This should have gotten all 10's. It's one of the best Foxtrots I've ever seen on the show!

[@DanceQueenEva]

it hasn't gotten all 10s?! was it again Carrie Ann who doesn't like women which are more beautiful than her?

[@kristagerry8505]

Her foot came off the floor, even I saw it and knew Carrie Ann would call it !

[@LePookie_James]

​@@DanceQueenEva u already know the answer lol, i swear they need to fire that woman

[@trevorwinship1246]

@kristagerry8505 I know there was a lift, I just think something some small as an accidental lift shouldn't have had a point docked off. Carrie Ann didnt knock points off earlier this season, when she used to knock points off early in seasons.

[@kristagerry8505]

@trevorwinship1246 that may be true, but she did give a warning a few weeks saying it was coming, and that sge would begin counting lifts in her scoring. It's not like it's something new? She's done this for the past 20 years as Derek Hough pointed out......

[@imactuallylily]

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!

[@twb123]

Chandler is PHENOMENAL. ❤

[@alexisgeorge9920]

So happy they made it to finale they deserve it!! Can't wait to see what Brandon comes up with for their freestyle. Chandler has really impressed me all season and continues to grow as a dancer ❤️

[@JT-gb2lj]

That was Sasha that Carrie Ann warned about lifts not Brandon. She never warned him about that so why is she lying?!?? I’m glad Brandon stood up for himself.

[@mepisces5196]

And it’s not a lift if her foot stays connected to the floor after years of watching I focused on that and it did just like football barely but within the rules

[@mangoesandgrapes3073]

it's not "lying" - she misremembered, sheesh

[@JT-gb2lj]

@ it’s not misremembering when you double down on it and state multiple times that you remember saying it to him specifically. On and off camera she doubled down on it but sure.

[@kashia8375]

This was so good! Love Chandler and I'm so excited for their freestyle.

[@FeatheredWingz]

Favourite dance of the night!! They brought an energy to the foxtrot I don't think I've ever seen before. And I completely agree with Carrie-Ann, their partnership has pushed each other to new heights.

[@kiwigirljacks]

She’s by far the best dancer and I do hope she gets the mirror ball,.. Brandon deserves it too. I did think I saw a little footwork mistake at one point.. but not enough that I would deduct a point. I’m afraid that Joey might win just based on popularity… but I think Chandler definitely should.

[@arthurmiller1611]

This is def going down as one of the best Foxtrots!!

[@LePookie_James]

If Chandler wins this season I'll go to bed a happy person

[@NaomiHiggins03]

Carrie Ann annoyed me so much by calling out the lift. It was barely noticeable and Chandler shouldn’t have been deducted a point for it. I really liked Chandler and Brandon’s connection in this dance. This was so good and she really got into the foxtrot. Love these two!!

[@maecerys71]

Exactly!! You can also even tell it wasn't even an intended lift. It was supposed to be a drag across the floor and in the moment her foot came off the floor. Very accidental

Nope, she took her foot off the floor, rules are rules.

[@wheeinsdimple]

@@kristagerry8505so did jenna? but they got a 10 from CAI?

[@kristagerry8505]

@wheeinsdimple never saw Jenna's foot lift. However, if I had, I would have called it? Is it possible Carrie Ann missed it just as I did? With that said, if she did see it and didn't score accordingly, then that was incorrect.... I like Chandler, but I think she's over-rated? She has an unfair advantage due to a previous background in dance. Her journey just isn't as gratifying to me as the other nondancing couples' journeys are! That doesn't mean I don't like her, because I think she's amazing, she just isn't my personal favorite.....

[@wheeinsdimple]

@@kristagerry8505 you should rewatch it just like CAI 😉 i did not say anything about u liking Chandler, you did and it speaks volumes for sure…also every season there is atleast one contestant already trained in dancing so i dont get that point at all. It’s kinda annoying that everyone suddenly cant stand a 24 y old girl who has background in dancing🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kimberlylusk9623]

@@wheeinsdimplethen she needs to be consistent!! Jenna and Joey did a "lift" in there foxtrot lastnight and Stephen and Rylee did one in their Cha Cha, neither got a point deduction. CA also never warned Brandon this season. She warned Sasha. There has been multiple lifts all season that she hasn't taken a point off for. She needs to be consistent

[@Sheva.L]

Stunning! I absolutely saw the lifts while I was watching it tho. Before carrieann said anything and as an avid watcher of the show, we all know carrieann calls lifts. It just is that way for years. It was a stunning stunning performance AND I one hundred percent saw clear lifts while watching ❤

[@tedd-ivan]

i am so sick of carrie ann and her inconsistent scoring and critiques

[@EmilittaTDWins]

Agreed, she wasn't taking points off of accidental lifts mid-season or even for intentional lifts, but is now, but she once took a point off of Laurie's Tango on Week 3 of Season 23, and even on Vernon's Foxtrot on Week 1 of Season 29, but didn't take any points off of lifts whether they were intentional or not till much later this season? They need to remove her soon. I used to like her, but I'm getting rather annoyed with her as a judge.

[@sophielem59]

It just feels like she doesn't want them to win... Girl is supposed to be impartial and to judge, not to play favorites (or not favorite in this case)

[@lauradolcitravels]

I’ve said it since season 1 but taking a point off for an accidental lift will always be stupid.

Just give her the mirrorball already. Flawless dance.

If we're going to go all the way for Chandler and Brandon, then everyone needs to be voting because as we've learned many times in the past that the scores don't matter. It all relys on votes.

Have watched this 3 times and still can’t find any evidence of her feet leaving the floor. Amazing foxtrot!!!

[@yvettenieves7173]

Can y'all respond to this with your opinion are you going to vote on Tuesday for them to win bc this past Tuesday I voted 50 times no joke

[@SPEDITS-lr2bw]

I did see the 2 times that her feet lift from the ground which is understandable to bring her score down but Carrie Ann should be scoring everyone the same ‼️

[@misty_michelle3034]

I'm sorry but I have to call Carrie Ann out again. First off, I find it funny that now she wants to start judging fairly. She hasn't been fair to the girls in the competition this whole season. Also, she warned Sasha about lifts not Brandon and she said there was 2 lifts and there was only one. I slowed the playback on the KZbin video to 0.25 and I only saw one "lift".

[@alexisgeorge9920]

The thing about the lifts is it shouldnt matter if her foot comes slightly off the floor once when everything else is so technically amazing and her dancing is of the highest quality!! Its BS to call out a small error for some but others are making huge errors and barely dancing and are getting 10s anyway thats why whole lift police thing is so frustrating!! others can make huge mistakes and lack technique all together and still get a 10 but not Chandler. And dont give me that she has dance background crap so what!! She dancing against pro atheletes they are in way better shape in general so no excuses for them to lack rhythm and technique and still get a 10.

[@KH-hs5xv]

[@petrovanschalkwyk8209]

Carrie Ann clearly has something against Chandler. How she didn't give this a 10 is beyond me

[@Roma-SRyan]

CARRIE Ann has docked point for illegal lifts for the past 20 years

[@briec579]

I have to be honest i was team Joey but for the last (maybe) 3-4 weeks, I think this girl is just pro level. No way you can tell me she has not trained as long as her partner. I say this because she is doing much more complicated footwork than Joey. Joey is very fun and entertaining but there is really no comparison. I watched with an extra biased and critical eye so, that is really saying something. Reply

And I’m sick of Brandon, whining and complaining. He knows damn well not to do lifts but yet lifted her up, accidentally yes… still a lift.

Whining & complaining?!

[@theturtlesx]

DWTS needs to stop casting Ringers - those with professional dance training. It's not fair to the others.

[@sadcub1]

what is not fair about it? It does not give them any higher chance of winning. Just look at past seasons and you will see that the dancer with prior experience generally does not win. Someone with prior dance experience isn't any more of an advantage in this competition as someone with a very large fanbase because the eliminations and winners are chosen based on viewer votes combined with judges scores. Also, if dwts stopped casting "ringers", this show would have been cancelled due to lack of views like a decade ago. the show needs people who they can expect to be good.

[@heyyou9123]
