Witney Carson's Bold DWTS Comment Sparks Buzz After 'Lame' Scores

Witney Carson is sharing a “controversial” take about Dancing With the Stars.

“Just from seeing everything online, I just wanted to give my two cents after being on this show for over a decade and watching it since I was 11,” Carson, 32, said in a video on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, September 16, one day after she and dance partner Guillermo Rodriguez received the lowest score of the DWTS season 35 premiere.

“This is not a dance competition,” the choreographer continued. “Yes, of course, us pros take pride in, like, making the best dance possible, and we want our celebrities to become better. If it were truly a dance competition, every single celebrity would come into the competition with the same level of dance experience.”
