It's only week two of the newest season of Dancing With the Stars and there's already some controversy.

Following the elimination of Veep actor Matt Walsh and professional partner Koko Iwasaki during last week's premiere episode, the remaining 26 contestants were tasked with performing either a rumba, salsa, samba, pasa double, Cha Cha or Argentine tango for season 32's "Latin Night" on October 3. Former Brady Bunch actor Barry Williams and his partner Peta Murgatroyd performed a Cha Cha that earned them a low score of 15 out of 30 — shocking both the fans and the duo themselves.

Allegedly, upon receiving a 5 from judge Carrie Ann Inaba, Peta even responded or mouthed a curse (although it was not aired). Fans on social media couldn't help but also feel amazed, slamming the judges for their "unfair" scores on a post shared by the show.

"They did him dirty with the scores. That was great!!" someone wrote. "The scores were unfair. He deserved at least a 6!" a different person chimed in. "Hey underscored him…booooo," a fan commented. One person said, "We need to protect Barry at all costs."

Lucky for the couple, the fans felt differently than the judges and helped them avoid the bottom 2. Instead, it was Sweet Magnolia's actress Jamie-Lynn Spears and Alan Bersten who went home at the end of the night, leaving only 12 pairs left to compete next Tuesday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
