I don’t think that is true, here area a few of the scores from the catwalk:
Venezuela 9.5
USA 8.7
Korea 9.1
Mexico 7.8
Argentina 7.6
Angola 8.4
I realize this whole performance is kind of silly to us, but it is serious to them. Had someone messed up that bad during a sports competition, they would not have made it further.
Well, the ShowBuzz article said her score was 8.547, which is a respectable score, yet we don’t know if her score would have been 9.+ without the fall. I imagine that she was able to perform enough for them to see her style, or whatever they were looking for. I don’t know the scoring criteria and how falls are calculated, yet, she did not deserve to be booed in my opinion.
