'Dancing with the Stars' finale: Lauren Alaina fans call out judges for constantly underscoring her, say 'they don't want her to win'

While that clearly doesn't deter her, as one can see from the absolutely smashing foxtrot that she and partner Gleb Savchenko performed, fans are pretty mad and are accusing the judges of being 'biased.' 

The only celebrity so far who hasn't received a perfect score is former 'American Idol' contestant Lauren Alaina. While that clearly doesn't deter her, as one can see from the absolutely smashing foxtrot that she and partner Gleb Savchenko performed, fans are pretty mad and are accusing the judges of being "biased." 

"They constantly underscore Lauren & it's ridiculous!" one fan fumed, while another said, "Wow 3 Dancers 2 had slight screw-ups and get 10s. Emotional not there really didn’t see miss steps there but she gets 9s. Judges once again seem to have favorites. Vote for Lauren!!!!" Some fans also accused that judges of trying to get in the way of Lauren's Mirrorball trophy. "Why I let shows like #DWTS piss me off is quite ridiculous! I clearly am a @Lauren_Alaina fan & I am not a dancer but it definitely seems the judges do NOT want her to win! Hold your head high and be proud of yourself! You are awesome!" as another fan said, "Everyone is getting perfect scores BESIDES Lauren...and they almost made her cry" 

Another fan said, "I am so tired of the judges kissing Ally's butt," referring to contestant Ally Brooke who received a perfect score. "@Lauren_Aliana is what the epitome of what the show is. Learning to dance and growing as a person, the journey!" A second fan added, "They have been overscoring Ally all season. And saved her after being in the bottom 2 multiple times." 

Lauren even poked fun at her own scores earlier, via Twitter, posing in a glam dress, "I may be the only finalist who hasn’t received tens, but I do rock some TENnis shoes with my fancy dresses. Does that make us even?"

For the semi-finals, the duo had performed a paso doble to Kelly Clarkson's 'Stronger'. The dance earned Alaina a score of 27 points out 30 and for the second one, the two went with a Viennese waltz to Tim McGraw's Humble and Kind, where she was also awarded 27 points.
