Carrie Ann Inaba hasn't always been able to score her health a 10. While the Dancing With the Stars judge consistently brings positive energy, helpful feedback and pivotal scores to the ballroom every week on ABC's hit reality show, Inaba has found herself experiencing some health struggles that have kept her sidelined during filming. Ahead of the season 34 premiere on September 16, 2025, Inaba announced she wouldn't be able to judge the first episode because she was feeling "quite under the weather." "I'm resting up and can't wait to be back next week in good health," she wrote via Instagram.
