Recently ousted Dancing with the Stars celebrity, Chris Kattan is whining that the show is “unfair.” He and his pro partner, Whitney Carson were the first couple to be eliminated three weeks ago. Charo and Mr. T have also been eliminated. The former SNL cast member spoke with Entertainment Tonight (Watch the Video at the link):
Kattan said there is “an unfairness to the fact” that each year’s slate of new contestants come into the competition with wildly different levels of dancing talent.
“Simone Biles and Charo and I are three different people going into the show,” Kattan explained. “I’m not as good of a dancer as Charo [and] we have our different moves, but we can’t move like Simone Biles.”
Kattan says the real problem on the dancing competition show is with the judging because, while everyone comes in with various amounts of experience, they are all judged on the same criteria, which is inherently unbalanced.
According to the comic, there’s two ways to fix the discrepancy. Either the stars DWTS casts should have “no dancing experience,” or the judges should “acknowledge the fact that this person doesn’t have experience and this person does. And give them the benefit of the doubt.”
Welp. Kattan should have done a little research before he signed the contract. Dancing with the Stars has always been full of ringers: figure skaters, actors with dance experience, gymnasts who know how to move… If everybody was inexperienced, the show would be boring to watch. Granted, the show casted Heather Morris who is a trained dancer used to choreography and hard work. BUT that’s DWTS rolls.
Somebody had to go first, and it was the 90s SNL comic hardly anybody remembers.
