Dancing With The Stars S27 Power Rankings (Round 1)

Sep 25, 2018 by PowerRankings101

Dancing is back…but I’ll be completely honest….I don’t know pretty much ANY of these celebrities except for Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter and the Bachelorette’s Grocery Store Joe. I am a tad disappointed with the casting choices, but maybe as the show goes on, some of them will warm up on me!

13. Joe Amabile and Jenna Johnson- Oh Grocery Joe. One of the few celebrities I actually knew coming in. I think America will keep him safe regardless of how terrible this was. He has tons of fans, especially on the network ABC that shows both Bachelor and DWTS. I think he’ll grow from here, which is good considering there’s lots of time to do it. Worst of the night, but I don’t think this will take him out.

12. Nikki Glaser and Gleb Savchenko- I actually really like Nikki and think she’s hilarious. As for her dancing, it was a bit messy. She seemed a bit stiff, and it reflected through her footwork. I like her spirit, but don’t know if she’ll last much longer here.

11. Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess- I’ll be honest, I didn’t think this was very good at all. Bobby had moments where he kept up pretty well, but it did come across a little bit sloppy, especially with his mouth wide and agape the entire time. He’s a bundle of energy and may get votes for being likable, but I don’t see him being a huge contender.

10. John Schneider and Emma Slater- John has a great personality and was able to keep up in the dance, but it was slightly underwhelming. Maybe it was the song choice, or maybe just the fact that Emma is so young and youthful and John has an older energy about himself. I definitely think it was a nice routine, but nothing amazing.

9. Nancy McKeon and Valentin Chmerkovskiy- Val always seems to get paired with some really strong celebrities, but this year, he may find himself needing to put in more work than usual. Nancy is by no means bad, but she seems a step behind many of the rest. She needs some polishing and I think right now, Val is totally upstaging her. They’ll get there eventually, but I don’t think she had a great first outing.

8. Mary Lou Retton and Sasha Farber- I’ll admit, I didn’t know who she was, but Sasha is one of my favorite pros, and Mary Lou’s first interview was so sweet and I hope she goes far. She did a decent job for her first dance. I don’t know how memorable she was at the end of the night, but she definitely came out with confidence that will take her a few more rounds for sure.

7. Danelle Umstead and Artem Chigvinstev- Danelle is one of the most intriguing contestants the show has ever seen. I am beyond impressed she even got out there on the dance floor. And she is surprisingly really graceful. I think she’ll be someone to watch and will really leave a mark on the competition. I cannot wait to watch her throughout the competition.

6. Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe- Evanna is my favorite celebrity this season and she was a glimmer of light from the second she showed up on screen. I love her spark and I hope she goes far. There were so many good points of her dance, and while it fell apart in certain spots, I think she showed a ton of great potential and can go deep in this competition.

5. Milo Manheim and Witney Carson- I thought Milo had a really strong first dance. He reminds me of someone like Riker Lynch who could really become a dark horse despite being relatively unknown to the older demographic. I think he shows a ton of potential and character already. He’ll go far.

4. Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke- I haven’t watched Fuller House, so I don’t know Juan Pablo, but he has the makings to be a great dancer. He has the swagger and personality needed to really deliver great dances. I’m interested to see how he handles some of the more upbeat stuff, cause he has the Latino style dances down. Cheryl is his partner, which is a recipe for success. I think they’ll do well. Also yay for a Candice Cameron and Jodie Sweetin cameo!

3. Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten- I actually really like Alexis and thinks she shows a ton of potential. I think she also has the fan base to back her throughout the competition. She is just a bubble of energy and exudes happiness, and I think both the judges and America will catch on to that infectious energy and send her pretty deep into the competition.

2. Tinashe and Brandon Armstrong- First off…Brandon is a terrific pro and could win for his dancing alone. And then Tinashe, who is just a firecracker of energy and precision. I really think she’s the one to beat, and proved it in all her dancing. One of the best of the night.

1. DeMarcus Ware and Lindsay Arnold- Damn, this guy can dance. I think the beginning and end were incredibly strong. There were a few errors in the middle, but I really think he’s going to be one to watch this season. I’m a huge fan of his. This was THE best of the night in terms of entertainment, and between him and Tinashe, we’re bound to have one hell of a season.

The obvious boot here would be Grocery Store Joe, but I really think he has the fans to make it further. I think this means Nikki or John will be in the most danger. I think the comedian may have her last laugh. Below, in the comments, I will say how I think this season will play out.

PREDICTIONS:

Going Home- Nikki Glaser and Gleb Savchenko
