The judging is unbelievable. No one will be able to convince me that Dwight's contemporary deserved the same score as Jenn's contemporary. He didn't actually dance. He did a bunch of lifts, but all he did aside from that was stand in place and then walk. If you just watch his feet, it's super obvious that he did zero dancing, let alone contemporary. In comparison, Jenn not only danced throughout the routine but she did pretty well at contemporary for a celeb.
Stephen's contemporary was also pretty good. I'm sure there are people who will complain that he did handstands (or is it only the female gymnasts who get criticized for including gymnastics elements in their DWTS routines?), but contemporary is one of the dance styles where it's totally appropriate. If you watch SYTYCD or any dance competition with contemporary, you'll see that handstands, back handsprings, back layouts, and other gymnastics moves are regularly included.
I always end up getting annoyed with the show at this point in the season because the judges' scores become so meaningless, but it's really out of control this season. Chandler is head and shoulders above the other celebs yet the judges are throwing around 10s to everyone like they're going out of style. Keep in mind that Chandler was given all 8s for her contemporary last week yet Dwight's contemporary was somehow given a 10 and two 9s this week? Give me a break.

I also thought they fit the gymnastics into the theme really well - like the creepy handstand walk he did was so good!
