Despite injuries on both sides of the partnership, fans loved Lindsay Arnold and Jordan Fisher’s Argentine tango on this week’s Dancing with the Stars.
Arnold injured her knee Sunday during rehearsal, while Fisher scratched his cornea hours before Monday’s performance when his fingernail went into his eye.

Regardless, the two both performed an Argentine tango set to “Brother” by NEEDTOBREATHE and are scheduled to perform a jive to Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.” Their later routine will be a recreation of a Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas number from season 22.
Judges, however, were hard on the couple’s tango, saying they needed to focus more on the dance and less on their storytelling. The team did pull off a 28/30 score, however, with two 9s and a 10.
Fans LOVED the routine, and were confused at the judges’ comments.
Oh @lindsayarnold tearing up ๐ญ you did amazing and it was an amazing dance that actually shown another side of @Jordan_Fisher ๐ #dwts

There were a few people who agreed with the judges, however, saying that Fisher’s dancing prowess was higher at the beginning of the season due to his Hamilton background.
I agree. Jordan does not deserve to win and I will be very angry / upset if he does. #DWTS https://t.co/xI20dFQ3rM
