Chandler Kinney secured three 8s from the judges in Dancing with the Stars episode 2
Chandler took to the stage to perform the rumba to Billie Eilish's What Was I Made For from the movie Barbie. Before her act, the Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin star revealed that the song had a special meaning for her as she could relate to its themes of "girlhood."
The audience cheered and applauded the precision with which Chandler pulled off the dance moves. She gracefully maneuvered across the dance floor, delivering multiple lifts and jumps to elevate the quality of her performance.
There was visible chemistry between her and her professional dance partner, Brandon, who helped the Dancing with the Stars cast member remain in the spotlight during their routine. White confetti filled the stage as the duo reached the end of their act.
Chandler ran into her partner's arms after their performance ended, and the two eagerly awaited the judges' review and scores. Derek complimented Chandler's arms and footwork, admitting she was made for dancing. However, he advised her not to keep her hands so high in turns.
Meanwhile, Bruno confessed the Dancing with the Stars contestant made it look effortless. Carrie Ann said:
"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."
She also commended the actor for championing the dance form at an early age. All three judges gave Chandler an eight out of ten, bringing her score to 24 out of 30, the highest on the leaderboard.
On the contrary, Tori Spelling and Anna Delvey bid farewell to the competition after receiving an underwhelming number of votes and scores overall.
Dancing with the Stars season 33 airs every Tuesday at 8 pm ET only on ABC.
