DWTS Week 4 Recap: Disney Night

Dancing with the Stars season 34 is in full swing! Last week, the ballroom celebrated 70 years of Disneyland, and each of the couples danced to a Disney song. As a big Disney fan, these weeks are one of my favorites. The competition this year is insane, and I truly don’t know who is going to win. Here are my thoughts for the 11 couples: 

Dylan Efron danced a quickstep to “Life is a Highway” from Cars

• The male dancers don’t slay nearly as hard as the women, but he is second in my opinion for the males
• Learning real technique will get him far dance-wise 
• Not a personal fave for me to be honest (won’t be sad when he goes) 

Danielle Fishel danced quickstep to “I Wanna Be Like You” from The Jungle Book 

• Facials were better than past dances
• Loving the fur pants
• Fun to watch! Even with the mistake 

Scott Hoying danced a salsa to “Bop to the Top” from High School Musical 

• He executed the essence of Ryan 
• He is a lot more confident dancing, but not my favorite compared to other competitors  
• Won’t be surprised/sad when he goes home 

Alix Earle danced a Viennese waltz to “Once Upon a Dream” from Maleficent 

• I fear she ate (I’m not a fan of her, sorry) 
• I wanted more facials rather than the same one the whole time 
• She deserved those 8s, and I agree with the judges that this was her best dance yet 
• Will definitely be in the top 5

Hilaria Baldwin danced a quickstep to “Cantina Band” from Star Wars

• She really knows how to dance, but is not a standout among the women 
• Not a fan of her, so I knew she would go home quick 
• I really liked her outfit

Andy Richter danced a Viennese waltz to “Le festin” from Ratatouille 

• Give him an Oscar, his facial expressions are so funny 
• He may not be a good dancer, but he makes me smile   
• I think he will be eliminated next week; his time is almost up 

Robert Irwin danced a cha cha to “Try Everything” from Zootopia 

• He’s my winner 
• His jive was so good, but his salsa and cha cha have not been his strongest ones (I’M SAD)
• His dances make me so anxious because I want him to excel 
• HE IS SO FUN TO WATCH (he captures my attention for real)
• I hope his lower scores help him EAT DOWN and skyrocket back to the top 

Elaine Hendrix danced a quickstep to “Space Mountain” from the Space Mountain ride

• She is such a great performer 
• Might be my favorite quickstep this week?
• I honestly love her and want her to get far in the competition 

Whitney Leavitt danced a foxtrot to “The Room Where It Happens” from Hamilton 

• As a mega Hamilton fan, I loved it 
• I also fear she ate (I’m not really a fan of her either) 
• She is such an amazing dancer, and I am appalled she has not danced ballroom before 
• She is at a completely different level than everyone else 
• She knows how to change herself for the camera 
• Will definitely be a finalist 

Jordan Chiles danced a quickstep to “Special Spice” from Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

• Great facials, but I wanted to see them throughout the whole dance. I feel like she loses it when she is in frame 
• She looked stunning!!
• I think she is definitely going to be in the top 5, maybe even the top 3

Jen Affleck danced a jazz to “Friend Like Me” from Aladdin 

• Jan (her partner) being blue was a jumpscare, not gonna lie 
• I can tell she is feeling more confident in the dances and having more fun 
• Ain’t no way she did a backwalkover at her ripe age after a baby . . . 
• I feel like jazz dances during Disney week are so mediocre? They’re fun, but I’m not sat 
• I feel like she could make it to the top 5 because of her follower count 

Here are my predictions for placements after week four: 

1. Robert Irwin 
2. Whitney Leavitt 
3. Jordan Chiles 
4. Alix Earle 
5. Jen Affleck 
6. Dylan Efron 
7. Elaine Hendrix 
8. Danielle Fishel 
9. Scott Hoying 
10. Andy Richter
