After having a week off from the competition, the artists put their best foot forward Dancing with the stars‘Soul Train Night.

Appropriate, Rosie Perezwhich gave her entry into the musical variety series Soul trainHe was the guest judge on the Monday, October 7 episode.

“In the spirit of a true one Soul train Dancer, I’m looking for the boogie,” Perez, 60, said at the start of the night. She saw something of that elusive quality in the first dancer of the evening: Phaedra Parkswho performed a quickstep with her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy.

“You can teach people to dance, but you can’t teach people to boogie, and you know how to boogie,” Perez told Parks, 50.

Joey Graziadei also received the seal of approval from Perez, who told him that he “knows how to boogie” and has “amazing amounts of sex appeal.” The Bachelor Alum Jive with partner Jenna Johnson earned him the first nines of the season from both Perez and himself Carrie Ann Inaba.

While Parks and Graziadei, 29, were praised for their natural instincts, Inaba, 56, offered compliments Ilona Maher for learning as she goes.

“You’ve improved so much,” Inaba told the rugby player. “I see the transformation right before my eyes. That was beautiful.”

In addition to soul, the evening also had a lot of heart to offer. Eric Roberts dedicated his and partners Britt Stewart‘s foxtrot to his wife, Eliza Robertsand ended the performance by bringing her on stage and giving her a kiss. Eric, 68, wasn’t the only one who seemed a little lovey-dovey on Monday evening.

“You’re so cute, you’re so cute, you’re so cute,” Perez said Stephen Nedoroscik after his quickstep Rylee Arnold. “A little stiff, but you’re so cute.”

It then went from “cute” to “calient”. Brooks Nader And Gleb Savchenko played their rumba to it Marvin Gayeis “Sexual Healing.”

“It’s definitely a big bonus that Gleb and I have such great chemistry. We will use this to our advantage,” said the 28-year-old Nader in front of cameras. “This dance will be so sexy that my entire family watching at home will have to turn off the TV.”

You judge after the performance Derek Hough playfully decreed, “This dance made me pregnant.”

Another duo’s chemistry also caught the judges’ attention.

“One of the sexiest Viennese waltzes I have ever seen” Bruno Tonioli told Jenn Tran and her partner, Sasha Farber. “You were like a vixen out there.”

Cohost Julianne Hough added that the couple were giving Nader and Savchenko, 41, “a run for their money.”

Not everyone received such positive feedback. Dwight Howard And Daniella Karagach admitted to not rehearsing enough during their introductory package, but that didn’t stop the judges from expressing their disappointment with their cha cha. Tonioli, 68, told Howard, 38, to “work on his technique” while Inaba said the performance was “hard to watch.”

“They tried to trick us with all the (facial) expressions,” she said. “Keep the joy, (but) still have a little bit of rehearsal.”

The evening ended with a highlight Chandler Kinney and her partner, Brandon Armstrongwho received nines from all four judges, the highest score of the evening. Tonioli told Kinney, 24, that she has “big star qualities” and compared her to the Season 16 runner-up. Zendaya.

“We have another Zendaya there,” Tonioli said.
