EVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: In a surprising turn of events, 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32 witnessed its most shocking elimination!

Viewers have criticized judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Paula Abdul for sending a beloved couple home despite their high scores.

In the latest episode, Lele Pons and her professional partner Brandon Armstrong were eliminated after their electrifying salsa performance of Shakira's song 'Wherever, Whenever'.

However, viewers claimed that Harry Jowsey, who has constantly been getting low scores, should be the one to get eliminated.

Additionally, 'DWTS' Season 32 viewers were left stunned as Lele was 'unfairly' eliminated and Harry advanced to the next round.

They took to social media and shared their outrage over Lele's 'rigged' elimination. A social media user tweeted, "Harry stays but LELE GOES HOME ITS RIGGED BRO."



 

Another person added, "There’s no reason lele pons should’ve got sent home when the bottom 3 couples are still in the competition… lele pons was robbed of being final 4." Another critic noted, "No I am so mad at @officialdwts this is not fair!!!! Lele did NOT deserve to go home tonight wowowowow."



 



 

Another X user said, "THIS S**T IS SO RIGGED THERES NO WAY LELE JUST WENT HOME BEFORE A MAN THATS ONLY GOOD AT GANGNAM STYLE."



 

Another internet user penned, "I feel like the judges judge based on people competing with themselves, not against each other. Harry’s group dance was great but that was the best moment to bid him farewell. He could’ve left on a high note. Lele deserved several more weeks."



 

Another viewer stated, "I am so devastated. Lele KILLED IT tonight and improved week after week. There is no question about it - Harry and Rylee should’ve gone home. This is just unfair at this point."

Adrian Peterson and his pro partner Britt Stewart were eliminated during the fourth week. However, he recently appeared to call out a fellow 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant Harry Jowsey.

Adrian shared a photo of his daughter on Instagram. He noted in the caption, "This is how baby girl was looking at the @dancingwiththestars judge’s @carrieanninaba @derekhough @brunotonioliofficial after I was eliminated Disney’s week!"

While multiple social media users shared a laugh with Adrian over his funny post, one critic slammed Harry over his 'worse' performance. Notably, Adrian liked the comment.

'Dancing With the Stars' couple Lele Pons earned praise for her performance during Music Video Night. The judges offered both positive and constructive feedback.

Derek Hough said her "hips did not lie" and celebrated Lele's ability to "nail" the Shakira part. However, he noted that her lifts moving forward must have a "very smooth" entrance and exit, calling Lele's transitions between lifts "haphazard."

Meanwhile, Paula Abdul agreed with Derek and noted that Lele "moves like a flame" and was "wickedly seductive," but urged her to stay "lighter on your feet."

Bruno praised Lele and emphasized how "detail is important" and said she needs to "work on" her lifts.

'DWTS' Season 32 new episodes air every Tuesday at 8 pm ET on Disney+ and ABC.
