‘Dancing With The Stars’ Finale: Carrie calls Kaitlyn's act 'top 3 of all time', fans brand them as 'scripted'

One tweeted, 'Carrie Ann really going above and beyond to prove she doesn’t hate Kaitlyn Bristowe'

'Bachelorette' star Kaitlyn Bristowe and her pro-dancer partner Artem were the first of the four finalists to perform at 'Dancing With The Stars'. They repeated their Argentine Tango to Britney Spears 'Toxic', which had earned her a perfect score previously. 

The judges looked truly impressed with the reality star's finale act as it had them all up in their seats. As soon as the performances concluded, the judges began showering them with compliments. Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough praised Kaitlyn for her perfect dance while Carrie Ann Inaba took them aback by calling it, in her opinion, "top three dances of all time". 

While the cutthroat competition at the finale has some of the viewers debating over Kaitlyn's full-score, a few noted that Carrie was blatantly "overcompensating" with Kaitlyn. According to a few, her treatment of Kaitlyn's has been the same for the last two episodes. 

A few weeks ago, the judges of DWTS were called out for being too "hard" on contestants. The majority of them had expressed that Carrie was being too "harsh" on the couple with some even dragging her former romantic relationship with Artem. 

However, as seen in the last few episodes, Carrie's feedback for Kaitlyn has been positive, perhaps "overly nice" for some viewers to accept as normal. Tonight, November 23, Kaitlyn and Artem again received a full score and Carrie took the celebrity contestant aback by calling her performance "top three of all time". 

This comment was enough for fans of the show to once again discuss Carrie and Kaitlyn's strange chemistry. A lot of them feel Carrie is "making up" for not being on good terms with Kaitlyn. 

One tweeted, "Carrie Ann decide to be nice to Kaitlyn the last 2 episodes of the season #DWTSFINALE #DWTS" A user added, "Carrie Ann really going above and beyond to prove she doesn’t hate Kaitlyn #DWTS ".

Another said, "Just watched Kaitlyn’s dance and went meh. Minutes later Carrie Ann says Top 3 dances of all time???! Wtf was she watching??? #DWTS" Adding to that, one wrote, "The most scripted relationship development over the course of a season on #dwts has officially become Kaitlyn and Carrie Ann"
