Dancing With the Stars season 33 episode 4 recap

NFL star Danny Amendola and his partner Whitney kicked off Dancing With the Stars season 33 episode 4 with their paso doble to Jon Bon Jovi. While their performance was energetic, it lacked artistry, according to the judges. They received a score of 30 which resulted in a combined score of 60.

Actor Reginald VelJohnson and his partner Emma came in next, and performed a cha-cha. Reginald's knee problems affected his routine and resulted in stiff movements throughout the performance. The judges weren't impressed, and he received 21 points, making his combined total 42.

Judges were charmed by Brooks Nader and Gleb's cha-cha to Nothin’ But A Good Time by Poison. The Dancing With the Stars contestant was awarded 33 points, bringing his total score to 61 points.

Stephen Nedoroscik's timing continued to be an issue throughout his performance with his partner Rylee. They earned 32 points, leaving them with a combined score of 62. While Dwight Howard and Daniella's paso double wasn't the smoothest, the Basketball star showed improvement and received 29 points, bringing their total to 52.

Actor Eric Roberts and Britt also presented a paso double. The DWTS judges felt that it wasn't Roberts' best night and the dance couple gathered 22 points, making a total score of 46.

Olympian Ilona Maher and her partner Alan took on jive style, and performed a dance routine to C*m On Feel the Noize by Quiet Riot. Their performance was judged to be slightly off, and they received 26 points and a total of 56.

Jenn Tran and Sasha received 31 points for their paso double performance, resulting in a total of 62 from both nights. Phaedra Parks and Val received criticism from DWTS judge Carrie Ann, who felt they should have utilized the whole floor for their performance. The Dancing With the Stars contestant got 26 points, making their total of 56.
