SAFE: Vinny Guadagnino and partner Koko Iwasaki scored 17 out of 40 for their salsa to Bad Bunny’s “Tití Me Preguntó.”
While the duo had the lowest score of the evening, they ultimately made it through to next week.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Guadagnino, of “Jersey Shore” fame, that he had “presence” but let Iwasaki “do all the work.”
ELIMINATED: Jason Lewis and Peta Murgatroyd earned 18 out of 40 for their cha-cha to “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk, which wasn’t enough to save them.
“It’s week one so it can only get better,” judge Derek Hough said of the duo’s routine.
After landing in the bottom two, however, Lewis and Murgatroyd were eliminated.
SAFE: Teresa Giudice and Pasha Pashkov got sultry with their tango to “We Found Love” by Rihanna, earning a 20 out of 40.
The duo landed in the bottom two, but ultimately advanced to the next round after the judges saved them.
Judge Bruno Tonioli told Giudice to use her “passion” and “fire” when she danced, and Inaba advised the former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star to “take up space.”
SAFE: Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke also received a 20 out of 40 for their foxtrot to Elton John and Britney Spears’ “Hold Me Closer.”
All four of the judges awarded Champion and Burke fives for their performance, with Hough telling the weathercaster that he had timing issues.
Despite landing in the bottom three, the pair were able to advance to the next round.
SAFE: Jessie James Decker and Alan Bernstein’s cha-cha to “Sweet Home Alabama” earned them a 20 out of 40 as well.
Several judges told James that she should work on improving her leg movements.
SAFE: Cheryl Ladd and Louis Van Amstel received a 21 out of 40 for their spirited cha-cha to Marvin Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up.”
“Cheryl Ladd has swagger,” Inaba said of the performance, while Tonioli encouraged the “Charlie’s Angels” star to “release her devil.”
SAFE: Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater performed a quickstep to “Dancing With Myself” by Billy Idol. The judges also gave them a 21 out of 40.
Tonioli told Donovan that he “has the talent,” and Inaba echoed his statement, saying: “Do not be afraid of dancing, because you can dance.”
SAFE: Joseph Baena and Dani Karagach’s jive to “Pump It” by the Black Eyed Peas garnered them a 21 out of 40 from the judges, too.
The judges had plenty of encouragement for Baena, a fitness influencer who’s the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his former housekeeper, Mildred.
Tonioli told Baena that he was “charming” and had “good musicality,” while Inaba called the 24-year-old “fascinating to watch.”
SAFE: Heidi D’Amelio and her partner Artem Chigvintsev’s cha-cha to “Lady Marmalade” earned them a 24 out of 40.
Inaba told the “D’Amelio Show” matriarch Heidi that “mama got the moves” and the other judges encouraged her to work on her confidence.
SAFE: Jordin Sparks danced a “precise” cha-cha to a Whitney Houston classic with her partner Brandon Armstrong and earned a 26 out of 40.
The former “American Idol” winner danced to her late friend Houston’s hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”
Head judge Len Goodman described their cha-cha as “clean,” “clear” and “precise.”
SAFE: “Coda” star Daniel Durant impressed everyone with a tango to “Barbara Streisand” by Duck Sauce that earned him a 27 out of 40.
Durant, who is deaf, picked a song with a strong bass so he could feel the music.
The judges said he had a fantastic frame and Tonioli called him a “magnetic” performer.
SAFE: A tango to The Pussycat Dolls’ hit “When I Grow Up” earned Shangela a 28 out of 40 as she made history with partner Gleb Savchenko.
Shangela is making history on season 31 as the first drag performer on the show.
“You were totally in charge,” Tonioli said of the performance.
SAFE: Selma Blair also received a 28 out of 40 for her Viennese Waltz to David Cook’s “Time Of My Life” with partner Sasha Farber.
Inaba told the “Cruel Intentions” star, “you danced that like a true artist,” and Hough’s only comment was that he wished the dance went on longer.
SAFE: “Bachelorette” star Gabby Windey was one of three celebs to get a 28 out of 40 with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy for their jive to a Harry Styles hit.
The reality star’s technique was praised by all of the judges after she jived to the Harry Styles hit “As It Was.”
“First jive, first class,” said Tonioli.
SAFE: Wayne Brady’s cha-cha to “She’s A Bad Mama Jama” earned him and his partner Witney Carson second place on the leaderboard and a 29 out of 40.
Inaba told Brady he “owned the floor” and the judges advised he work on balancing performance with his skills.
SAFE: TikTok star Charli D’Amelio topped the leaderboard with partner Mark Ballas and her score of 32 out of 40. She danced to “Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion.
Charli and her mom Heidi are making “DWTS” history as the first mother-daughter duo to compete against each other on the show.
The TikToker out-danced everyone and earned the highest score of the night.
“You are such a nuanced performer,” said Inaba.
