## Summary

Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba drew an awkward reaction after describing a dance as “turning your sister into your lover”. She was commenting on Paralympian Ezra Frech and professional dancer Daniella Karagach’s Argentine tango, despite the pair having described their relationship as like brother and sister.

Inaba called it the pair’s hardest dance so far and referred to its intimacy; Frech laughed, while Karagach cringed. Co-host Alfonso Ribeiro and judge Derek Hough also said the remark was awkward, and viewers criticised it online. Frech and Karagach scored 27 out of 30 and advanced to the semifinals; Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy were eliminated.
