Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson
DANCE STYLE: Cha-Cha (to “Dancin’ in the Country” by Tyler Hubbard)
Hang on a sec… this was sorta excellent? Not perfect, no; some stiff hips here, some floppy hands there. But on the spectrum of Bachelor/ette alumni to perform on this show, I was sure Joey would lean more Joe Amabile than Kaitlyn Bristowe, and he totally surprised me here. With sevens across the board in Week 1, and an easy confidence alongside Jenna, I think we’ll see Joey for many weeks to come.
JUDGES’ SCORE: 21 out of 30
While Reginald and Eric were the weaker dancers, I’d vote for them over Anna on the personality and appreciation to be there. I was willing to give her a chance but she just rubbed me the wrong way
I wish Ezra got a better partner so bad
Agreed.
I totally agree with you
about Eric Roberts and
Reginald V.
I’m really hoping that Anna
Delvey and her ankle monitor will be eliminated next week!
She’s creepy!
She doesn’t belong
on the show!
I remember reading a piece about her a few years ago after learning who she was and someone that was interviewed said they weren’t quite sure how she managed to pull off her scheme because she’s not particularly charming or nice. I think those attributes will especially noticeable here now that people are aware of who she is and what she did.
Alan and IIona had zero chemistry. Kinda bummed hopefully they grow
Really? I loved them! Thought they were adorable & fun!
Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong Are a perfect match made in heaven. I’m rooting hard for them!
Me too!!!! Great dancing moves and great chemistry.
The look on Ezra’s face when Anna first walked in the practice room makes me think he wasn’t completely thrilled with who his partner is. I am happy for Ezra being able to move out of the ensemble and have a partner this year, but I feel like he got the short end of the stick (maybe because he is the newest male professional dancer). Also, I don’t think she did herself any favors endearing herself to the voting public with some of her responses.
The dancers want to do well. I’m sure they make much more money the longer the last, and Anna D will be lucky to last 3 weeks at the outside. Eric Roberts and Reginald Val J are both popular. Anna D might outlast Brooks Nader, whose naked desire for fame is overtly calculated and a huge turnoff. But Anna D is someone who you can just tell thinks she did no wrong and how dare we little people not worship her already, and that tude won’t endear her to fans.
Jenn, Chandler, and Stephen are definite highlights for me right off the bat. Those three are going to be tough to beat and I’m looking forward to seeing what they all continue to do as time goes on.
.
Also, Daniella and Dwight worked together far better than I thought they might when I first saw the height difference. They were really fun and I’m interested to see how else they’ll be able to use their height differences to their advantage going forward.
I think Stephen did really well and I hope he continues to improve. I enjoyed watching hilm do his routine in the Olympics and I enjoyed watching him dance tonight.
1. Joey & Jenna, to look like that as the 1st out of the gate in the first show?! I mean, wow. Also they’re adorable.
2. Who do I need to beat up to get Emma & Britt more consistent strong partners?? Bless Reginald & Eric, they’re legends in their own way but these women have given have given so many seasons and had so few chances to truly show what they can do as choreographers (justice for James & Emma).
3. I think Witney & Danny will keep getting better.
4. Production did Daniela a solid giving them the salsa this week, I have NO idea how they’re going to do a lot of these dances with their height difference but I feel like if anyone could pull it off, it’s Dani.
5. Ezra is clearly in a no win situation, I think he’s handled the press beautifully (and what an amazing experience to have his sister in the troupe) but wooof. That change in energy was something.
No one should be watching this show as long as Anna Delvey is on it. She is supposed to under house arrest but apparently she has “pull” in ICE that is allowing her privileges not afforded other people. She is a criminal and should have been deported.
I can’t imagine her lasting long. It wasn’t just the vibe in the ballroom that changed, I can’t see her finding a voting block to keep her. And the ankle bracelet was not a cute look. Either Eric or Reginald will outlast her, maybe both.
She not going anywhere any time soon.watch. this season at all if you want to wait 12 episode in to watch. But I voting for my favorite tv carzy doctor.
Anna has got to go! It’s obvious she has no real interest in being there. She is quite irritating & arrogant which is not shocking. The rest of the show was great!!
1. Stephen was such a a joy to watch!
2. Anna needs to go. She didn’t act like she wanted to be there and her comments were off putting.
Watch her interview. What would winning mean to you her nothing.Why are you on this show why not. Do you want to win. I like winning more then losing.
i wish they gave ezra a better partner
Creepy Anna Delvey really
seems to think that she’s a “star”, she ain’t nothing but a
criminal who should be
deported as
soon as possible!
Hoping that she goes before
the worst dancers : Eric,
Reginald and Tori.
Calling two things right now. Put them on tape for future reference.
1. Stephen wins!
2. The night he puts on a Clark Kent suit and hat followed by ripping his shirt off to the Big Red S underneath will crash DWTS history.
Book these.
Plus they did not mention his significant visual impairment made much worse in bright lights.
My top 3;
Joey & Jenna
Chandler & Brandon
Stephen & Rylee
Look at all these self righteous people trashing Anna but have no issues supporting Kamala or Donald.
I mean, I agree with you about Trump (but I’m mystified by the support he gets regardless), but Im not sure how Kamala fits into this comparison.
Let me help you. Some people like free speech and keeping their own money and they hate crime, fighting other country’s wars, and having to constantly cater to illegal immigrants just because their own ancestors came here legally. And they know there are only 2 sexes.
This is a show about DANCING. Why does the left have to inject partisan politics into EVERYTHING? Why can’t you people ever take a couple of hours off from it?
Jack ,
Take a whole row of
seats and sit down!
🙄 Anna Delvey is a criminal
like the
former President
Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris is a former
Prosecutor.
It’s obvious why people would support Kamala Harris
over Anna Delvey or
Donald Trump.
Phaedra Sparks to win (just to annoy Kandi)
Chandler and Brandon are great together!!! I feel bad for Britt, I like Eric but we know they won’t last long but I hope it’s longer than Anna, sorry Ezra.
Stephen was so much fun to watch! He has a huge Penn State following so I’m sure he will make it to the end, especially if he continues to entertain us like he did last night! I love a great nerd story!
I was so surprised and impressed with Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach I think the Judges got the scoring wrong I think they were the BEST of the NIGHT!! He had moves everywhere he was not stiff. I can not wait to see what they do next week! This couple just makes me happy when I was watching them 🤣
My next very very favorite is Ms. Phaedra Parks and Val, I have watched Phaedra on Housewives from day one and I have LOVED her from the very beginning and I have followed her to Traders she is a funny sweet Godly wonderful person I would love to see her go all the way she is a Bright Shining Star and belongs on DWTS!!
But WHY? Is Anna Delvey on Dancing with the STARS??? She is NOT a Star she is a ARRESTED CRIMINAL!!! Who still owes a lot of money to people that she CONNED, from a recent interview Anna had to be asked if she was sorry? Anna’s answer was FOR WHAT?? No I have nothing to be sorry for!! She was asked if she was sorry for Scamming Rachel out of $62,000. Anna said Awww well NO! Because I did plan to pay her back?!?! Hahaha What a Joke she had NO intention on paying her back or she would have did it she’s a liar that’s what Conmen do they Lie All the time!! ANNA NEEDS TO GO HOME NEXT WEEK!!👎🏼
But I feel really bad for Ezra Sosa I think they should give him another dancer it’s NOT FAR He is the ONLY ONE that DONT HAVE A STAR instead they gave him a CONVICTED CRIMINAL!!
When did this become
Dancing With Stars & Criminal??
I won’t support a show with a known felon
or a presidency!
Can the outfits get any skimpier? I hope so!
My God, Anna Delvey in a dance competition is the weirdest thing that I saw this week. Stop making criminals famous!
Am I the only one who can’t wait for this annoying survivor add to stop showing up!!!!!!
My surprises were Joey, Jenn, and Dwight but Stephen also did great as I expected him to. I won’t be watching Anna’s performances so I hope she goes very soon.
