"Charli, that was perfection, on top of perfection, and then just so open and so powerful," Inaba said, holding back tears. "Mark, I know I've been pushing you guys for that emotional expression, but you brought it to this dancefloor tonight. That comes from you and your hard work. That was beyond spectacular. I just want to thank you because you've done this journey with such grace and such humility. But what you're doing is like, unfathomably difficult. Awesome job!"

On Twitter, several fans instantly took aim at the former In Living Color Fly Girl for the display. They accused her of either being overdramatic or "faking" her reaction. Some painted the performance as undeserving of such a reaction due to Charli's pre-DWTS dance experience and her repeated high performance in Season 31.

While the haters were definitely out, it's safe to say that many were also in love with D'Amelio and Ballas' performance. D'Amelio clearly has plenty of supporters in the Dancing With the Stars fan base (given her placement in the final four), so many did not see Inaba's reactions as odd.
