Dancing with the stars: A night of surprises and eliminations
A night of cinematic magic
The latest episode of Dancing with the Stars brought the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to the dance floor with its “Oscars Night” theme. The evening was filled with dazzling performances, emotional moments, and the first eliminations of the season.
Top performance of the night
The standout performance of the night was a mesmerizing rumba to Billie Eilish’s ”What Was I Made For,” performed by Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong. Their routine captivated the judges and the audience alike. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was particularly moved, stating, “You created some moments there that, like, I think, touched us all, like when dance can go inside and like, pull all your organs and your heart strings like that, it’s really powerful. You are so young, and you championing that so early in the season makes me think you might do quite well.”
Struggles on the dance floor
On the other end of the spectrum, Eric Roberts and Britt Stewart found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard after their waltz to The “Godfather” theme song. Inaba empathized with Roberts’ stiffness, sharing her own experiences with chronic pain. The pair received a low score of 15 out of 30, bringing their combined two-week score to 30. Reginald VelJohnson and Emma Slater also earned a 15, but their higher score from the previous week gave them a slight edge.
