'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 is making noise on social media. Some fans are happy with the premiere episode's performances, while some believe that some of the celebrities were not up to the mark. Critics claimed that Gabby Windey did not perform well but still managed to bag all the appreciation. 

Gabby is paired with professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy on the Disney+ dancing competition show. The couple, dressed in pink outfits, jived their heart out on Harry Styles' 'As it Was'. However, fans think that 'The Bachelorette' star didn't put a lot of effort into her performance as compared to other celebrities. Many believe that the star survived the first episode only because she is famous and loved by people.

'Gabby is a performer, not a dancer', say fans

Fans know well that Gabby is very popular among viewers. But, at that same time, some stated that being famous and having won lots of hearts should not affect her performance and judgment on the show. Fans took it to social media to criticize Gabby for her performance. A critic wrote, "Gabby makes sure to point out she’s a performer not a dancer."

Another fan said, "She did nothing for me personally, I think this season has a f**k ton of s**t going on and she gets drowned out by the commotion. I believe the only thing going for this girl is her technique and the entire bachelor nation."

Another 'Dancing with the Stars' fan joked, "Gabby Windey sounds like Natalie Portman in “Jackie”."
