Professional dancer Gleb Savchenko and his celebrity partner Brooks Nader performed the Rumba to S*xual Healing. Their performance earned them 7s across the board and brought their total score up to 28 out of 40.
The camera panned to and pair as the scores were revealed and fans were upset with Gleb rolling his eyes and mouthing the word "whatever." One person wrote on X:
"Not a fan of Gleb. He's too arrogant"
"no cause this pissed me off like if you want higher scores maybe stop making out and posting tik toks of you making out and then posting a follow up tik tok about how you're still making out. point your toes & move your hips miss brooks then we'll get there," a fan commented.
"Gleb rolling his eyes like they deserved those points. Sir, you are bringing a stripper pole to the dance floor tomorrow . Let's not be brave," a tweet read.
Fans of Dancing with the Stars season 33 felt Brooks could perform better with another choreographer:
"it's not really her fault considering he's the pro and he should be the one that locks tf in and does better choreo and trains her better. she's good but she could be better with a partner who cares," a person wrote.
"I wish they had given Brooks to Ezra tbh. He would actually taught her and would’ve been more focused on making sure she had fun than focusing on making her look sexy," a fan commented.
"Maybe if Gleb spent time teaching and coaching instead of getting involved with his partner, he might generate higher scores," a tweet read.
Fans of Dancing with the Stars season 33 further said:
"Gleb’s eye roll and “whatever” after the scores really pissed me off. Idk what he expects. Mediocrity deserves mediocre scores do better for your partner and it wouldn’t be that way," a person wrote.
"GLEB IS PRESSEDDDDD !!!!!! HE TOOK THEM 7s PERSONAL" a fan commented.
