LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32 star Charity Lawson and her pro partner Artem Chigvintsev performed Quickstep to 'BO$$' by Fifth Harmony.

Charity expressed her desire to maintain the momentum and carry it through to the finals, while Artem emphasized the importance of precision, cautioning that any misstep could disrupt the timing.

In a surprising turn, Charity received a perfect 30/30 score for her semi-finale performance on the ABC show, a first for her. However, some viewers questioned the total score of 30, particularly in relation to her quick steps.

Another Instagram user said, "Sorry I know I’m gonna catch heat for this but I’m kinda ready for Charity to go." Another internet user penned, "I think the last dance they did was a perfect score not this one."

Another person noted, "I love charity but there was a whole 8 count where she wasn’t dancing." Another viewer wrote, "Idk she just lacks energy/emotion for me."

However, Charity didn't hold back and cleverly replied, "Um, let’s not talk about that. I’ve enjoyed my time and I think we all are, like, everyone here, like, it’s just one big family."

She added, "I'm so grateful and humbled to be enjoying this experience."
