After watching the semifinals episode of 'World of Dance', fans have some strong opinions about the episode. The latest semifinals episode featured six talented dancers competing for two spots in the finals round. The six dancers who featured on the episode were: The Young Cast, Savannah Manzel, Kurtis Sprung, Jefferson & Adrianita, Geometrie Variable and GRVMNT. 

Although every single dancer put his/her best foot forward, fans weren't impressed with the judges' pick for the finals. Jefferson & Adrianita and Geometrie Variable made it to the finals after getting a high score from the judges. While fans were happy for these dancers, they felt that other dancers like Kurtis Sprung, GRVMNT and Savannah Manzel had been robbed by not getting a chance to compete in the finals.



 

Several fans took to their Twitter to express their displeasure over talented performers like Kurtis Sprung not making it to finals. A fan tweeted, "Kurtis was robbed just like the rise is all i have to say ill never shut up about it #WorldOfDance."



 

Another fan wrote, "World of dance da this might be the last episode i’m watching cause wtf..do better #worldofdance."



 

"Like no way did kurtis AND grvmnt not make it through wtf, honestly this season has been p*ssing me off ever since whatever tf those weird a** qualifiers were  #worldofdance," commented an annoyed fan.



 

"Bro this season is a** like why are all the best acts going home #worldofdance," wondered a fan.



 

"I’m freakin fumin’ man. Kurtis deserves better  #WorldofDance #WOD," revealed a fan.



 

Several fans also felt that the show is biased towards contemporary dancers, as they always seem to get scored a lot lower than the other dance forms. A fan pointed out, "An 89 for Kurtis but a 95 now. OK! Sure, sure! Kurtis, baby, if SYTYCD ever gets another season, please go to there. They respect contemporary dancers. #WorldOfDance."



 

Another fan echoed similar thoughts with, "#WorldofDance wow!!!! That's all I have to say about that. Why didn't Curtis score higher??? Does Ne-Yo have something against contemporary? You can already tell their favorites."



 

'World of Dance' Season 4 airs every Tuesday at 10/9c only on NBC.
