It’s Season 35, Episode 3 of
Dancing with the Stars, "Viral Hits Night," and the snark squad is taking our front-row seats in the ballroom where TikTok algorithm anthems, leaderboard deadlocks, and an agonizing bottom-two showdown turn up the heat on the dance floor!
The squad puts the leaderboard titans squarely under our microscope as the viral routines push athleticism to absolute extremes. Paralympian Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach stole the entire telecast with an unhinged, gravity-defying cha-cha to Flo Rida’s "Low"—dropping it into the splits, serving full swagger, and earning a jaw-dropping 21 out of 30 that left the judges completely floored! Meanwhile, Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy matched that top-tier energy, shutting down the critics with sharp, ferocious choreography that proved having professional dance experience doesn't mean you can coast on easy mode.
Down at the bottom, however, the survival math had the squad losing our minds! Late-night favorite Guillermo Rodriguez continues to defy all ballroom physics—stumbling his way across the parquet alongside Witney Carson and tying the lowest score of the night with a flat 12, yet skating straight through to next week on pure, unadulterated fan charisma!
That charm-shield spelled instant doom for Food Network royalty Giada De Laurentiis. Partnered with Alan Bersten, Giada’s salsa to Becky G’s "Bella Ciao" lacked the seasoning and power the judges demanded, landing her dead last with a brutal 4-4-4 scoreline. The squad breaks down the intense debate over her elimination: was sending the celebrity chef packing completely justified after a timid routine, or did the voting audience do her dirty by sparing comedy novelty over technical effort? Grab your iced coffee and settle in, because the viral tracks are fading, the paddles were ruthless, and the snark squad is handing down every final verdict!
