As the competition intensifies on *Dancing With The Stars*, two notable alumni, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Sharna Burgess, provided insightful commentary on the recent Rock ‘n’ Roll Night performances. Their analysis highlighted key performances and discussed the shifting dynamics among contestants as the season progresses.
Maks and Sharna Analyze Season Leaders
During their latest episode on The Penthouse with Peta, Maks and Sharna evaluated the standout routines and remarked on the scoring system, reflecting broader sentiments shared by fans. They pinpointed Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy as the current frontrunners, praising Alix’s impressive execution and confidence.
Guest Judging and Scoring Debate
A significant highlight of the episode was the appearance of guest judge Flavor Flav. Maks raised questions about the effectiveness of guest judges in enhancing the competition. He expressed concern over the significance of their scores, while Sharna humorously described the phenomenon as generating comments and clickbait without delivering substantial critiques.
Performance Insights
- Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy: Considered the couple to beat, Alix’s recent performance showcased her best skills.
- Robert Irwin and Witney Carson: Remain strong contenders but displayed moments of inconsistency.
- Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach: Seen as falling behind, with concerns about Dylan’s energy and confidence.
As Maks observed, Robert’s strengths lie in slower, emotional pieces, yet he appears less commanding compared to Alix. Conversely, Dylan is perceived as losing momentum, which could adversely affect his positioning in the competition.
Predictions and Future Contenders
Looking ahead, Maks and Sharna predict that the finale could feature Alix and Val, Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, along with Robert and Witney. Meanwhile, Dylan and Daniella are at risk of elimination unless they can stage a significant comeback in their upcoming performances. The pair emphasized that viewer votes and personal narratives are as critical as technical prowess in determining the competition’s outcome.
Following Rock ‘n’ Roll Night, the competitive landscape has become clearer with defined standings among the participants. Alix and Val lead, followed closely by Whitney and Mark, while Robert and Witney maintain a solid presence. The ongoing unpredictability of judges and audience reactions will undoubtedly influence the trajectory of the season as it heads toward its conclusion.
