This is what you call sticking a landing.
Simone Biles was not happy with the judgesâ feedback on Monday nightâs âDancing with the Stars,â and her face couldnât hide her frustration.
Following her Paso Doble performance, judge Carrie Ann Inaba said she saw improvement, but added that the Olympic gold medalist should be careful not to dance âlike a metronome.â Host Tom Bergeron jumped in, asking, âI was waiting for you to smile at some of the compliments, you didnât.â
(Oh, dude. No.)
Bilesâ response: âSmiling doesnât win you gold medals.â

The comment shut down the host, earning âoohsâ from the audience and a ton of support online.
Bergeron knew he made a mistake, later calling his question âclumsyâ and tweeting that he âunwittingly added to the smile pile.â
Biles opened up about her feelings on the judgesâ feedback and Bergeronâs smile comment backstage to Entertainment Tonight.
The Olympian said she had tears in her eyes but pulled it together, adding, âI am trying and I am being honest. But if they donât see that, I donât know what else more I can do.â
After making it through the week, Biles will be back for the âDWTSâ semifinals. Weâre guessing Bergeronâs âclumsyâ questions will not.
âDancing with the Starsâ airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.Â
