'Judges are trying to save him': Internet fumes over Jason Mraz's 'perfect score' during 'DWTS' Taylor Swift Night

Jason had been at the top of the leaderboard the first three weeks of the competition but has since fallen to the bottom two

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jason Mraz and Daniella Karagach graced the stage with an Argentine Tango to 'Don't Blame Me' during 'Dancing With The Stars' Taylor Swift Night. However, the couple received praise from the judges and got the 'perfect score'.

Jason had been at the top of the leaderboard the first three weeks of the competition but has since fallen to the bottom two. However, he recently redeemed himself tonight with a hit from Taylor's redemption album, 'Reputation'.

After his performance, Bruno Tonioli jumped from his chair and declared that Jason's reputation was restored! Meanwhile, Derek Hough agreed with Bruno and said, "Jason Mraz is back!"

However, guest judge Mandy Moore dubbed Jason's dance, 'grounded' and 'epic.' Carrie Ann Inaba commended his technique and praised his improvement from last week.

Although the judges praised Jason's performance, the viewers were quite disappointed with their scores. A social media user tweeted, "I think production told the judges to be nicer to Charity and Jason."

Another person added, "The judges have something against Ariana. Jason performace was not an all 10 score, 9 yes. Why would they allow a professional dancer and (husband) assist with an opponent?"

Another critic said, "I am kinda tired bc ariana kills it every week so if she’s slightly off it’s all 9s when she should always be getting perfect but jason is off and does better so it shocks the judges and gets perfect… do u get what i’m saying??? still deserved for jason tho."

Another viewer noted, "I’m sorry. Did the judges and I just watch the same dance? I thought Jason was stompy and his shoulders were high. He looked uncomfortable. Me thinks the judges are trying to save him bc they are laying it on THICKKK."

Another X user wrote, "he way jason never left and the judges just over criticize and underscore him."
