Nadia Bartel gets ROASTED by the judges after her Dancing With The Stars debut – and viewers agree
Nadia Bartel made her debut on Dancing With The Stars on Sunday evening.
That didn’t quite go according to plan, as the jury was strongly opposed to her performance of the cha-cha with her professional dance partner Lyu Masuda.
“It wasn’t on time. It lacked momentum. The hip and leg action wasn’t there at all, so it didn’t look like a cha-cha,” Craig Revel Horwood said.
“For me it was very mundane, like you were literally stomping through the streets. You were selling it, with those hair flippers,” he added.
The audience booed the judges’ comments, to which he replied, “Oh, stop it!”
Judge Sharna Burgess joined in the conversation, saying she loved Nadia’s “sexy parade” but admitting she still had work to do.
“I thought you guys were great together, great chemistry. And you know, Nadia, you’re what this show is all about,” Sharna said.
“You’re amazing, but we need something else,” she added.

Helen Richey is a charity dancer, with the judge saying that we cannot expect someone who has only been dancing for a few weeks to have the same skills as a professional.
However, she added: ‘Y“Our weight transfer needs to be smoother to get here and do its job.”
Nadia grinned and accepted the criticism. She took it well, despite the heavy criticism of her efforts.
Viewers watching the show at home also reacted strongly, with several sharing their opinions about X.
“Nadia can’t dance but she looks amazing,” one person commented, while another asked: “Why does Nadia get help from backup dancers?”

Another one posted: ‘Ooh Nadia Bartel with the Cha Cha. But she forgets steps and you can see her thinking during the dance.’
Nadia previously revealed that she doesn’t feel as confident as her followers might think after her debut on Dancing with the Stars.
“I give that impression, I’m confident and sure of myself,” Nadia told the Herald Sun on Thursday.
“But I really overthink things and sometimes I doubt myself. I’m definitely not that loud confident person in the room,” she continued.
Elsewhere in the interview, the mother of two revealed that she had turned down several offers to appear on DWTS over the years.
“They’ve asked me in the past, but the timing didn’t work out with the young age of the children,” she told the publication.
