Tucker Carlson. Just in general. Firing Tom Bergeron for no reason and hiring Tyra to replace him was the worst.

[alexramirez]

Mischa Barton was such a narcissist. Blaming her partner for her not having a good time, when she doesn't even want to be there in the first place. I'm glad Artem stood up for himself because I guarantee none of it was fun for him either because of her bad attitude

On a different note, Tyra should have never happened. Period. They gave up Tom Bergeron...for that

Nobody should've been surprised when Wendy was eliminated because she's always said that she couldn't dance every day on her former talk show

One of the most cringe-worthy moments was when Kate Gosselin drove her partner Tony so crazy that he quit. All her dances were cringe too, unfortunately.

Tyra in general was cringe moment after cringe moment. And one of her cringiest wasn't even mentioned in the video...telling everyone on live TV how sick one of the celebrities got was so not cool ( I'm autistic & my brain is a jumbles mess so I forgot what her name was...I just remember it was a female celebrity that got sick & Tyra somehow thought it was a good idea to let everybody know it & how sick she got )

also:
just anything political in general. Sean Spicer in particular was cringe inducing just being there. Bad enough they bring on so many reality "stars" but bringing in guys like Spicer just comes off as a lame cringe inducing attempt at a ratings stunt for the sake of contoversy

Bobby Bones winning the mirror ball. He was consistently one of the worst dancers but apparently he had a lot of blind fans voting for him. Juan Pablo should have won that season but no, too many morons had to keep the bad dancer & send the best one home after the semi finals

Aw, c'mon. Although it was only an HM, Sasha's Halloween pranks were always the best parts of the Halloween episodes. When we watched the show (before it became a "let's favor the Bachelor/Bachelorette" feature) we always looked forward to those.

I'm surprised Kate Gosling wasn't anywhere on this list. Her packages, her dancing, and everything else in between was just excruciating to watch.

[loretta]

Poor Ashley tried so hard, but Master P put forth ZERO effort. For years I would have agreed with you, but DWTS managed to top what I thought would be the cringiest moment EVER, when they hired Tyra. Every time she appeared was cringy! I’m not an Alfonso fan, but the show is SO much better this year with him and Julianne hosting!

[elisakluger]

I would add a few more moments. Kate Goslin being on the show cause she was just rude to her partner Tony and she couldn't dance either. When Shangela had the fried chicken and Tyra ate it. When a Ryan Lochte hater walked onto the stage with an aim at harming Ryan. When Karina's mic pack fell off and she messed up a part of the dance.

[NeeNee]

Nothing worse then when one of the stars have a bad attitude from the start then turn around and blame the pro.

[aysada]

Why does Fate allow Mischa Barton to have a career that could belong to somebody that would be grateful for it?

[Weird_password]

I don’t think they should take points off because the pro messed up

[Recubs]

Mischa Barton was a waste of space in dwts 😂

[tedd-ivan]

i would have added lolo jones on this list. she had such a sour attitude after her first dance

[clc]

Any dance of Kate Gosselin. She was always blaming her partner for her lack of talent

[ladyjustice]

DWTS is a popularity contest, not a dance contest.

[jadestar]

Erin’s reaction when Hannah Brown was crowned the winner

[NYChica]

I'm surprised Kate Gosselin's dancing didn't make it on there, because she did not want to be there about as much as Mischa did and it showed. I don't know what Tony ever did to production, but pretty much every season he's on, he ends up with the worst dancers

[laurenmontera]

The Elizabeth Berkeley and Bill Engval fiasco, then the mess of Tyra hosting in general and let's not forget about the time Simone Biles told the judges that smiles won't win the award.

[TramiNguyen-oikp]

I love these Dancing with the Stars moments!
