Season 28, Episode 2 “First Elimination”
So once again, this week’s episode started with a funny little prerecorded segment where Ray Lewis was trying to pump everyone up and stated that they were a team. Kate Flannery was quick to correct him by stating that they weren’t a team, that it was a competition. Ray then quickly wished everyone good luck, then left the room looking for his partner Cheryl Burke so they could practice.
There wasn’t much of an opening number, but Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews did explain the new voting rules. Instead of calling, fans would have to text names or vote on ABC.com. Also, they explained that the judges could save couples this season. They also were combining tonight’s scores with last weeks scores. Now, let’s discuss these performances.
