Emma Slater commented on the criticism of her performance on «Dancing with the Stars», - where she danced the waltz with partner Jackson Olson. In her TikTok comment on October 10, she explained that she tried to avoid unnecessary lifts to not lose points from judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
Slater noted that during the dance, she had to keep her foot on the floor to avoid receiving penalty points. She acknowledged that her foot looked «sickled» — a technical error where the ankle tilts inward, disrupting the straight line of the leg. Nevertheless, she emphasized that her main goal was to avoid an unintentional lift that could negatively impact their overall score.
As a result of their performance on October 6, the couple received 21 points out of 30 from the judges. Slater, the winner of Season 24, also shared that the judges' criticism can be «frustrating», - especially after putting in hard work on the dance routine. She added that it is important to be able to handle criticism and continue striving for improvement.
Slater and Olson narrowly avoided elimination from the show, advancing to the next stage, «Super Bowl Night», - in competition with Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong. «Dancing with the Stars» airs on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
