So no booing, folks! Judge Carrie Ann Inaba just wants love in the house tonight.

NBA champion Dwight Howard with partner Daniella Karagach. Howard suffered from severe stage fright last week, which affected his performance and pushed him down the leaderboard. He has to control his fear! He definitely did something because his tango to one Wreck It Ralph The melody was full of joy. The audience was thrilled! However, it wasn’t Inaba. “The way you get through this tango is very impressive and needs to be celebrated,” she said. “But you made a lot of mistakes and lost a lot of time.” Score: 24 out of 30

Phaedra Parks (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) with partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Parks’ partner promises to “rev up the Val engine” this week by encouraging his celebrity partner to harness her villainous side for her jazz routine. He got a little testy during rehearsal – Parks called him “abrasive” – ​​but he prepared them well to dance to “Cruella de Vil.” 101 Dalmatians. However, the competition is simply too great for it to last any longer. “That dance was devilishly delightful,” said judge Derek Hough. “The choreography was clever, the concept was complete. It felt like a Broadway show. There were a few times when I felt like you were waiting for him. But there was so much confidence pouring out of you.” Score: 24 out of 30

Jenn Tran (The Bachelorette) with partner Sasha Farber: Fun fact: Farber says he started it DWTS by playing a crab. Luckily, he decided not to dress up as a crustacean for his romantic but not sappy rumba to “Kiss the Girl.” The Little Mermaid. “Honestly, I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get Crab Sasha,” Hough said. “That was beautiful. Jenn, I really see you improving every week. Going forward, focus on the hips, but on the chest.” Score: 24 out of 30

Olympic Stephen Nedoroscik with partner Rylee Arnold: Hold the phone: The pommel horse guy hasn’t had a tan yet? The Olympian was finally brown sugared for his jive performance on “Star is Born.” Hercules. But despite what host Alfonso Ribeiro said, it wasn’t a Herculean feat. “What a fantastic start to the evening. “You danced like a hero… but a little bit away from a hero,” Inaba said. “You have a little overview of the music.” Score: 24 out of 30

Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher with partner Alan Bersten. Fun! Maher opened her jazz number with a giant earth balloon before hoisting Berstein, dressed as a donkey, onto her shoulders. This is a song inspired by the badass Luisa Madrigal Encantoand she is the perfect actress for it. “It’s no secret why you’re a crowd favorite,” Hough said. “You are so captivating when you dance. Tonight is about embodying those characters, and you’ve done just that. My only comment is to balance the difference between storytelling and dance. I want to see a little more dancing.” Score: 25 out of 30

The BachelorJoey Graziadei with partner Jenna Johnson. Apparently Graziadei always wanted to play a shirtless Tarzan on TV. He came to the real show! The bachelor was able to strip down for his animated samba – but keep his goofy grin while wearing a shaggy wig. “You Tarzan. I’m happy to see you,” said judge Bruno Tonioli. “Listen, the samba is one of the most difficult samba songs to perform… it requires musicality and has to look natural. You did all this.” Score: 25 out of 30

Super Bowl Champion Danny Amendola with partner Witney Carson. Not a silly little character from a Disney animated film for Amendola! The baller was allowed to play jazz to “Bye Bye Bye” by N’SYNC Deadpool and Wolverine. Their “recreation” of the fight scene in the movie just looked silly, even though he was able to turn his partner around and slide across the floor. At least the judges were thrilled. Is Deadpool and All Jazz the Musical? They should present it to Ryan Reynolds,” Tonioli said. “I love the fact that you took everything from the beginning of the film. It worked, it was strong. Great tribute to the excitement of Marvel.” Score: 27 out of 30

Chandler Kinney (Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin) with partner Brandon Armstrong. Kinney was annoyed by the judges’ “go deeper” comment last week, and it certainly didn’t help when her pal/actor Milo Manheim came to rehearsal and confirmed that the trio were hard on her. So she used her frustration to jazz up her paso doble to Disney’s “We Own the Night.” Zombies Franchise. “I know it can be difficult to hear the things we say,” Inaba said. “What makes me happy is when I’m proven wrong. You get on that dance floor and throw it like it’s nobody’s business! It was a passionate and powerful performance.” Score: 27 out of 30

Kinney gets immunity for next week because her jury’s scores have averaged higher than the other duos over the past six weeks.

Team dance Round

Team Roar with Amendola, Nedoroscik, Parks and Howard dancing to “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” by Mufasa: The Lion King. Parks looked a little too hard at Chermkovskiy and her fellow celebrities, but Nedoroscik was allowed to stumble around a bit and Howard was charming as usual – especially when he pulled the pommel horse boy over his head. “Great images, you managed to produce some very nice images,” Tonioli said. “You always have to be on time, but the synchronization wasn’t always perfect.” Score: 24 out of 30

Team Blunder with Maher, Kinney, Tran and Graziadei. Described by Farber as “a big Paw-Dy” on the dance floor, their performance to “Eye to Eye” from the Goofy movie featured the women in black hot pants and the boys in neon green jumpsuits.
