Dancing With the Stars got absolutely spooky for Monday night’s Halloween special. While the focus was on the couples’ haunting routines, viewers couldn’t help but focus on the interactions between the judges and co-host Tyra Banks. At one point in the episode, Len Goodman appeared to shade Banks, which had fans on Twitter rolling with laughter.
The moment in question occurred after Goodman shared his critiques of Charli D’Amelio’s performance. He briefly said that her performance was so good that it transported him to a club in Argentina. When Banks commented on his quip, he was a bit confused. Banks said the crowd made some noise when Goodman mentioned being transported to a club, and then joked about him fist-bumping to some music. Goodman stated that he didn’t know what Banks was talking about and then made a confused expression to the audience with his hands up.

After sending off D’Amelio to get her scores, Banks walked over to the judges’ panel to explain what happened to Goodman, who replied, “Oh I see.” Even though it was a brief moment, fans didn’t waste any time flocking to Twitter to laugh about it.
Uncomfortable
Many viewers believe that there’s some tension between Goodman and Banks. They even described their on-air moment as “uncomfortable.”
Amazing
Others loved the awkwardness of the moment. As this fan wrote, “We feel you Len.”
Over It
Several viewers thought that Goodman appeared to be “tired” of Banks. He didn’t understand her joke.
Woah
DWTS fans were left surprised by Goodman and Banks’ interaction. It left them “dead.”
Can Relate
Goodman even stated that he didn’t understand what Banks was talking about. Neither do some of the viewers.
What?
Goodman clearly didn’t catch what Banks was referring to. While all appeared to be good between them later on, fans couldn’t get enough of it.
A Question
The whole interaction prompted many to speculate about the relationship between Goodman and Banks. They want to know whether there’s any actual tension there.
