They got 33 points from the judges in total - just one point more than actor Elaine Hendrix, who was judged on her taped dress rehearsal after she suffered an injury and had to go to the hospital. ABC / Via youtube.com Giving Danielle feedback after her performance, guest judge Cheryl Burke said that she would like to see bigger emotion and a more "raw and authentic" performance going forward. Carrie Ann Inaba echoed this, saying: "I have mixed emotions about [the dance]. I love that you always take feedback with an open heart and grow from it. There are moments that I really see this progress - it's elevated and beautiful, and sometimes, these moments get small." ABC / Via youtu.be Derek Hough added that Danielle is "lacking the movement from the torso," and said that she needed to work on her "fluidity." Bruno Tonioli, on the other hand, simply said that he "loved it." Bruno gave Danielle a 9 out of 10, and the rest of the judges scored her at an 8. ABC / Via youtu.be Despite the feedback, Danielle secured enough public votes to make it through to next week's show, with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck being eliminated. However, Danielle's friends have accused the judges of treating Danielle unfairly as they leaped to her defense on their podcast Pod Meets Twirl'd, where they share their thoughts on each week's episode of Dancing With The Stars as two people who'd never watched the show before. Pod Meets Twirl'd / Via instagram.com Rider kick-started Saturday's episode by asking Will how he was, to which Will replied: "In my general life or after watching whatever the fuck that was?" Mindy Small / Getty Images "I'm with you, bud," Rider agreed, with both actors expressing how "angry" they were after last week's show. Rodin Eckenroth / Getty Images "Carrie Ann has her favorites, and she'll have two or three that no matter what they do, they could walk on the stage, trip, hit their face, and she'd be like: 'You tried so hard, 9!'" Will added. "Danielle could do the best thing where she's doing triple flips and she's like: 'You've got to hold your shoulders different too,' and it's like: What the fuck?" ABC / Via youtu.be "I'm with you, man," Rider replied. "I held back the anger. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. At this point, it's starting to feel like a personal vendetta.""It totally feels personal!" Will reiterated, with Rider then hypothetically asking the judges: "Are you guys open to the potential that Danielle might be working her ass off??"And Rider and Will were just as outspoken later in the podcast when it came time to discuss Danielle's dance more broadly, with both stars agreeing that the performance was "incredible." "To me, it was like: 'Oh, 9s across the board, maybe a 10,'" Rider said, and Will added: "I thought she was gonna get her first 10 of the night from Bruno, I thought he was gonna give a 10 because he was being very generous all night long. I was like: 'Oh my god, they're gonna do it, they're gonna get a 10, she's gonna freak out, this is an absolutely breakout from the pack!'" ABC / Via youtube.com "I think they're holding her to a higher standard," Rider then theorized. "Because: A) She looks young, so I think they're treating her like she's in the same category as the 30-somethings, or even 20-somethings, and it's just not the case. This is a mother, this is somebody who is 45 years old, and I think that because she looks so young and they still associate her as Topanga, they think of her as like a young American sweetheart, and that's not really fair." ABC / Via youtu.be "I don't think that's a fair assessment of who she is as a person and how hard she's working physically to keep up," he continued. "So that's, I think, part of it. And then I think she's very popular, and I think that because she's so popular, there's a little bit of like: 'You can take a little harsher from the judges' in a way t
