Nikkie Bella and dancing pro Artem Chigvintsev took the Dancing With the Stars ballroom by storm with a solid Halloween number, but the judges were won over.
The couple danced a jive to Bette Midler’s Hocus Pocus favorite, “I Put a Spell on You,” fans seemed to be thrilled by it.

The judges panel were less enthusiastic about it, and offered some critics before giving them all 8s for a total score of 24. They just couldn’t reach to get the 9s and 10s other couples have gotten.

Fans immediately went to Twitter to share their distaste for the judges’ remarks, which they say have repeatedly been too harsh.
“Nikki [and] Artem did amazing in the dance,” one fan wrote.”The judges just can’t see that.”
Another wrote, “Why do I feel like the judges are always the harshest on Nikki?”
