LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing with the Stars' judges have always been in the talk, mostly for favoring some of their favorite contestants. In Season 31, we have seen Len Goodman being thrashed by the fans for being too supportive of Cheryl Ladd. Moreover, some of the other judges have often been criticized for not giving a good score to deserving ones. 

In the recently released, 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 Prom Night episode, we saw the performers reliving their prom night days. Each one of the contestants shared their high school story on the stage. Vinny Guadagnino shared how he didn't go to his prom night, while, Shangela shared how he wasn't his full self at the prom night as he was not openly gay at that time. Well, it seems that Len Goodman is most influenced by these heart-touching stories. And, therefore, he was seen giving out mostly good marks to all of the contestants. Moreover, in Prom Night's episode, Len was seen being less critical about the performances of the contestants. This led fans to wonder what was the matter with him.
