Hey guys! Welcome to to another DWTS recap. I was going to post this yesterday before last night's show but I just didn't have time. Anyway, this week was Halloween nightmares night where each couple performed an individual dance and a dance off (I'll only be listing who I think should've won each dance-off). Since Chandler & Brandon were at the top of the leaderboard last week, they had immunity from the dance off.
Let's get into it.
Individual round
Dance: Tango
Song: "Psycho Killer" by Miley Cyrus
Judges' scores: 8, 8, 8 = 24/30
My score: 8
I did really like this. It was just a bit slow for me and she was a bit stiff but they looked amazing.
Check out their dance: Ilona Maher’s Halloween Nightmares Tango – Dancing with the Stars
Dance: Contemporary
Song: "Ring Around the Rosie" by District 78
Judges' scores: 10, 9, 9 = 28/30
My score: 10
Honestly, Dani is one of the best dancers I have ever seen. she eats it up every single time! Honestly, I would’ve given this a 10 too. This was incredible and it had me gagged the entire time.
Check out their dance: Dwight Howard’s Halloween Nightmares Contemporary – Dancing with the Stars
Dance: Argentine Tango
Song: "Poison" by RAVN
Judges' scores: 10, 9, 9 = 28/30
My score: 8.5
I loved the choreo and he executed it well. However, it was just a little bit stiff here and there.
Check out their dance: Danny Amendola’s Halloween Nightmares Argentine Tango – Dancing with the Stars
Dance: Contemporary
Song: "Vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo
Judges' scores: 10, 9, 9 = 28/30
My score: 10
This is definitely her best dance! Carrie ann gave out a lot of 10s this week that I didn’t agree with but this is one of the ones that I did agree with! This was amazing!!
Check out their dance: Jenn Tran’s Halloween Nightmares Contemporary – Dancing with the Stars
Dance: Argentine Tango
Song: "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" by Roisin Murphy
Judges' scores: 10, 9, 10 = 29/30
My score: 9
Can someone please tell me why Carrie Ann gave everyone but Chandler & Ilona tens, ESPECIALLY when Chandler's was probably the best dance of the night (I'll get into hers later)?
They are one of the best this season and I did love this dance but it wasn’t my favorite of theirs.
Check out their dance: Joey Graziadei’s Halloween Nightmares Argentine Tango – Dancing with the Stars
Dance: Contemporary
Song: "I Ran (So Far Away)" by Hidden Citizens
Judges' scores: 10, 9, 9 = 28/30
My score: 10
Wow! This was insane!! This was by far his best dance (so far) and honestly, this is some of Rylee’s best choreo so far! I am obsessed!
Check out their dance: Stephen Nedoroscik’s Halloween Nightmares Contemporary – Dancing with the Stars
Dance: Viennese Waltz
Song: "Secret" by Denmark + Winter
Judges' scores: 9, 10, 10 = 29/30
My score: 10
This was the best dance of the season so far (imo) and Carrie Ann giving almost every dance a 10 but this one will forever boggle my mind! I haven’t stopped watching it!

Next week is the 500th episode of DWTS. Each couple will do a dance inspired by an iconic dance from the past. There will be an instant dance round where each couple won't know the dance or the song until 5 minutes before they perform. Here are the dances for next week (of course, excluding the instant dance round):
Joey & Jenna - Contemporary to "Work Song" by Hozier (inspired by Riker Lynch & Allison Holker's Contemporary from season 20).
Danny & Witney - Quickstep to "Hey Pachuco" by Royal Crown Revue (inspired by Helio Castroneves & Julianne Hough's Quickstep from season 5).
Dwight & Daniella - Argentine Tango to "Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre)" by Gotan Project (inspired by James Hinchcliffe & Sharna Burgess' Argentine Tango from season 23).
Stephen & Rylee - Viennese Waltz to "Glimpse of Us" by Joji (inspired by Charli D'amelio & Mark Ballas' Viennese Waltz from season 31).
Chandler & Brandon - Argentine Tango to "Para Te" by Appart (inspired by Kellie Pickler & Derek Hough's Argentine Tango from season 16).
Ilona & Alan - Quickstep to "Chuck Berry" by Pharrell Williams (inspired by Jordan Fisher & Lindsay Arnold's Quickstep from season 25).
That's it for this week's recap. Until next week,
~Brianna.
