'DWTS' Season 30: Iman Shumpert receives criticism, fans call it a 'robbery'

While the two seemed to have fun on the dance floor, here's what the judges had to say. Len Goodman thought that the gymnast would benefit from being freer while performing. Derek Hough explained that all Lee needed was a little less precision and a little more expression. Hough, who has performed with athletes before understood Lee's issue on the dance floor and wanted her to loosen up a bit. Bruno Tonioli called Lee a golden girl that she had what it takes, all she needs to do is learn to sell her performance.  Carrie Ann Inaba pointed out that Lee looked like she was bracing herself for each move, much like she would during her routines. She told her that she needed to let go of that habit while dancing. As Lee explained it, gymnastics is not similar to dancing in the slightest, seeing that with the former, it's a competition at every given moment, and the latter is a performance. Despite the criticism, Lee clocked in a score of 28 points and fans were rooting for her all the way!
