However, his moves failed to impress the judges, with all of them being of the general opinion that James is too stiff and needs to work his hips more in order to nail the movements. Len Goodman scored him a 5, while Derek Hough gave him a 6. Bruno Tonioli scored James a 6, and Carrie Ann Inaba gave him a 5, resulting in a score of 22. Combined with last week's score, the total was 46 on the scoreboard. While the judges believe that there is room for improvement, fans are refusing to budge on their opinion about him.
