After reporting multiple cases of Covid in the last week, Dancing with the Stars<\/em> returned to the Disney+ ballroom Monday to honor Elvis Presley and to showcase how much Tyra Banks towers over her hosting partner Alfonso Ribeiro. Those two need to stand at opposite sides of the stage! The pro lineup was unfortunately one hoofer short: Daniella Karagach tested positive for the virus overnight so every partner Joseph Baena had to mask up and perform with fill-in troupe dancer Alexis Warr.<\/p>\n

Let’s roll the tape on week 2!<\/p>\n

Cheryl Ladd and Louis Van Amstel<\/strong>. The duo took an adorable spin in a convertible before their performance, but there wasn’t a lot that was cute about their tango to \u201cA Little Less Conversation.\u201d Ladd got lost, missed many, many<\/em> steps, and was genuinely overwhelmed by what was expected of her. But damn, the ‘ol girl looks great! \u201cThat would have been a great routine but we got on the wrong foot a couple of times,\u201d said judge Carrie Ann Inaba. \u201cI appreciate how many times you came back. You kept coming back.\u201d Score:<\/strong> 21 out of 40<\/p>\n

Teresa Giudice and Pasha Pashkov.<\/strong> While rehearsing in New Jersey, Giudice reminisced over how she and her dad used to watch DWTS<\/em> before he died. Pashkov tried to get her to inject that passion into her jive to \u201cAll Shook Up,\u201d but the judges weren’t moved. (Pashkov also had to perform with a mask because he’s married to Karagach). \u201cIt was bright and it was lively,\u201d said judge Len Goodman. \u201cThe problem was there was too many faults in your leg action. Not sharp enough in the kicks, one of two mistakes going on.\u201d score<\/strong>: 23 out of 40<\/p>\n

Joseph Baena and Alexis Warr<\/strong>. Tough break for the body builder; he’s missing his perfect partner and had to perform the Viennese waltz with a stranger \u2014 and in a mask that didn’t fit well, to boot! But as judge Derek Hough said, \u201cit could have been a catastrophe and it wasn’t.\u201d \u201cYou were genuinely leading,\u201d added Inaba. \u201cBeware of your hands, they go into pancake mode.\u201d Score: <\/strong>24 out of 40<\/p>\n

Jessie James Decker and Alan Bersten.<\/strong> The country pop singer vowed to work on straightening her legs. She must have made some progress during rehearsals: she and her mile-long ponytail opened the show by performing the foxtrot to \u201cTrouble.\u201d \u201cI like the mix of steps, I felt your legs were stronger,\u201d said Goodman. \u201cFor me its an improvement over last week.\u201d Score:<\/strong> 25 out of 40<\/p>\n

Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke<\/strong>. The ex-weatherman is still getting used to Burke’s tough love coaching style but it’s definitely working: his posture was better than last week and more importantly, he showed a lot more confidence during the Viennese waltz to \u201cHeartbreak Hotel.\u201d \u201cCheryl can be real bossy and tough teacher but she gets results,\u201d said judge Bruno Tonioli. \u201cYou looked like a leading man.\u201d score<\/strong>: 26 out of 40<\/p>\n

Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki. <\/strong>The reality star was embarrassed about having the lowest score last week, so he called Mike \u201cThe Situation\u201d Sorrentino for a pep talk before tackling the quickstep to \u201cViva Las Vegas\u201d in his black jumpsuit and shiny Elvis wig. \u201cJust like a Las Vegas gambler, you went all in and it paid off,\u201d said Goodman. Score:<\/strong> 27 out of 40<\/p>\n

Jordan Sparks and Brandon Armstrong<\/strong> The singer won a karaoke contest as a kid by singing \u201cHound Dog,\u201d so she’s definitely familiar with the song \u2013 just not with the concept of quickstepping to the speedy tune. She struggled to keep up with Armstrong, which the judges noticed. \u201cThere has to be control,\u201d said Goodman. \u201cYour big problem is your frame. It’s loose, you have to try to strengthen up your frame and then you will go places.\u201d Score:<\/strong> 27 out of 40<\/p>\n

Shangela and Gleb Savchenko<\/strong>. Feeling like \u201cBeyonce at the Super Bowl,\u201d the drag diva kept up the same energy from premiere night and injected it into her enthusiastic quickstep to \u201cShake, Rattle and Roll.\u201d But a snafu kept her from improving over last week’s score. \u201cYou are so sharp when you perform, I like when you commit to every single movement,\u201d said Inaba. \u201cGreat job.\u201d Score: <\/strong>28 out of 40<\/p>\n

Heidi D’Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev. <\/strong>The social media star’s foxtrot to \u201cSuspicious Minds\u201d was a big improvement over every week one cha cha. \u201cIt had elegance, it has sophistication. Beautiful musicality through your arms. It needed a little more freedom on occasion but overall I was really surprised how good that was,\u201d said Goodman. score<\/strong>: 28 out of 40<\/p>\n

Selma Blair and Sasha Farber<\/strong>. the actress had a terrific first week; who was n’t moved by her performance after learning about her personal battle with MS? Jiving to \u201cJailhouse Rock\u201d was a whole new challenge, but the orchestra did Blair a favor Monday night by slowing the tempo so she had time to perform a cartwheel and splits. \u201cYou made it yours and you made it work,\u201d said Tonioli. score<\/strong>: 28 out of 40<\/p>\n

Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart.<\/strong> The deaf actor got a surprise visit from his moms Lori and Mary during rehearsal before jiving out to \u201cKing Creole.\u201d Man, did he show great face! Or as Banks described it, \u201cstank face.\u201d Feeling CODA<\/em> co-star Marlee Matlin was there to support him, but Hough failed to call out her talented date \u2014 the Oscar winning Troy Kotsur. \u201cIt was so captivating watching you,\u201d said Hough. \u201cThe musicality was incredible.\u201d Score:<\/strong> 29 out of 40<\/p>\n

Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater. <\/strong>The actor still moves with trepidation in rehearsal and feels \u201cvulnerable,\u201d but his rumba to \u201cYou’re Always On My Mind\u201d gave him a chance to show off his sex appeal and awesome abs. Tonioli couldn’t stop fanning himself and Banks was so preoccupied with Donovan’s hotness that she forgot to queue up Goodman. \u201cRemember when you were scared of dance? You love dance,\u201d said Hough. Score: <\/strong>30 out of 40<\/p>\n

Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy. <\/strong> The Bachelorette showed off her engagement ring and new fianc\u00e9 Eric Schwer before performing the Viennese waltz \u2014 and displaying her tiny tush during all those twirls \u2014 to the classic \u201cFools Rush In.\u201d \u201cI am totally swept away,\u201d said Tonioli. \u201cThe partnering with you and Val, two instruments in total harmony.\u201d score<\/strong>: 32 out of 40<\/p>\n

Wayne Brady and Witney Carson. <\/strong>the Let’s Make a Deal<\/em>er performed last for the night with a terrific jive to \u201cBurning Love.\u201d The man sure knows how to have a good time. \u201cIt was a proper great jive. I really enjoyed watching you dance. I want you to realize this competition is a marathon. I want you to protect your knees because I think you are a fabulous dancer.\u201d score<\/strong>: 32 out of 40<\/p>\n

Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas. <\/strong>The stamina of the TikTokker was definitely tested as she practiced the quickstep with her coach, but she remembered to keep her elbows and energy up for \u201cBossa Nova Baby.\u201d Also, Banks is apparently obsessed with D’Amelio’s neck. Keep up that great feedback, girl! \u201cThat side by side section over there was so good,\u201d said Hough. \u201cYour personality really shines through.\u201d Score:<\/strong> 32 out of 40<\/p>\n

Bottom two couples were Giudice\/Pashkov and Ladd\/Van Amstel. Hough and Tonioli saved Giudice, while Inaba saved Ladd. Since Goodman has the final say, he chose Ladd over Giudice so the reality star goes home.<\/p>\n

next week, DWTS<\/em> pays tribute to James Bond.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
