The premiere episode of “Dancing with the Stars” always delivers drama, and Sunday night’s show proved no exception. Piotr Kędzierski found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard, facing harsh criticism. Judge Iwona Pavlović, who promised a more assertive approach this season, awarded him a meager 3 points…
Following his performance to Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off,” Pavlović likened the influencer’s dance to “a cartoon where the characters bounce off the walls.” He ultimately received 25 points, the same score as his fellow internet personality.
The performance sparked a divided reaction among viewers, with opinions sharply contrasting online.
“He was average, at best, though he did have good energy; Maybe there’s a chance the internet won’t win this season; Highly weak; Send him home”, some viewers commented harshly.
However, others were more impressed with the influencer’s efforts.
“That was a good dance. He has energy and a smile. There’s still room for improvement, but he has potential; Quite good; Charming performance; He dances well, let’s hope he continues like this; My favorite couple”, positive comments read.
