Although the season has only just begin, Beau and Anna have proved that they are certainly fan favorites. Performing a number choreographed by Talia Fowler, the duo impressed the audience, who credited her for the couple's wonderful piece. "Welp Talia is my new fave choreographer. Absolutely heart wrenching. Loved every second of that routine. Anna and Beau gave EVERYTHING. Ticked every single box. Perfection. The walkover move sent me. Bravo. #soyouthinkyoucandance #SYTYCD" tweeted a fan. "Damn, I am really impressed by that beautiful performance from Anna & Beau! #SYTYCD" said another. "Talia’s choreography never disappoints #sytycd" wrote another. 



 



 



 

However, fans were more disappointed with the judges, mainly Leah Remini -- they felt as though she was not providing any of the duos with real critisim. "Beaus transitions weren’t too strong but that’s definitely something he can work on. I wish they’d give actual criticism #SYTYCD" said a fan. "No but all the awkward miming and loudly saying non-words is going to drive me NUTS. Then again, this is why we don’t have people judge dance shows who HAVE ZERO VOCABULARY FOR DESCRIBING DANCE. #SYTYCD" added another. "Also, Twitch is just so sweet, but constructive, while Leah mommys everyone! #sytycd" said another. "Not a fan of the new judge. Worse than Tyra as the host of #DWTS and I didn’t think that was possible. What is she even judging? She’s just saying words. #SYTYCD" added another.
