Ladies and gents, welcome to the second week of The Ellen
staff's Dancing with the Stars' recap.
And now introducing our co-hosts Tracey Gold and Chris Cavell.
[? Zene, ?] we're right here.
Yeah.
It's New York week, so I got a little carried away.
We're back in the cube, and really to kick this week off
we have to-- they gave me some fun tools.
Yay, props!
And this is a sandbag, and if I just use all my strength.
I'd help you, but I'm not gonna.
You got it.
Here we go.
Lower it.
You guys have fun with it.
Chris, give it spin.
Give it a spin.
Oh my gosh.
You guys, this is another great week
for Dancing with the Stars, and by great week I mean,
you've got to have four hours in your day.
It was two full nights of competition.
First was New York night.
And then Tuesday Vegas night.
Flashy.
Oh, everybody loves Vegas.
Which Vegas Night is always one of my favorite nights.
Yeah.
So you guys, I have to move this.
I'm sorry.
Going back up.
This is so distracting.
The scores, already for week two, are so high.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
No room for improvement.
OK.
Well, let's start off and just talk
about night one, which couples we thought were the best.
There were three for me, standouts.
Mhm.
From night one, and I'm going to start with one, Milo Manheim.
This night showed me that he could end up
being a front runner.
Yeah.
We never really had him in our top four.
I mean maybe as that fourth one that could be in and out,
but he really showed that he has it.
Yeah.
Kind of came out and surprised me a little bit
with that cool subway--
Yes.
--dance.
He was pretty cool.
I still think-- I did some research on him.
He's got some experience.
So I always have a hard time with people who are,
you know, first time dancers.
But he did bring it.
OK.
Another front runner that I thought from Monday night
was Tinashe.
She's incredible.
I mean she clearly just-- she's really, really good
with musicality.
Which guys, they always say that,
and as someone who doesn't know anything
about dance, when you're watching this,
you're like musicality?
So I like tried to use context clues to figure out what it is.
I think it means--
It's like the accents.
Like the tah, tah--
Oh, I thought it was like how good she
is to like move to the beat.
Yeah.
Oh!
You take like the count out of your head,
and they're more like embodied in you.
So it's like the tah, tah, tah.
Tah tah.
Yeah.
It's like the poom ka.
[VOCALIZING]
And moving on.
The third person who I thought was "increab"
was my-- like I find him to be the sexiest person
to ever enter the ballroom.
Yeah.
Juan Pablo.
We got it.
I mean they have such good chemistry that like their dance
ends, and they're like--
I know, but--
And I'm like, make out!
But they're not going to, right?
Somewhere Matthew Lawrence is going, and that's my gal.
Yeah.
Like I'm watching you.
Yeah.
All right.
So the couples that we-- that kind of
had the worst performances or like the not best.
Mhm.
Because I don't like to say the worst.
Yeah.
Because I love them so much.
Yeah.
"Grocery Store" Joe.
In defense of Joe, I think Joe gave us a week two performance.
I think he improved on week one.
He got better scores.
He went from not being able to dance to he looked really cute.
Well, I feel like by week two I think you
mean he had a weak week two.
No?
No, Chris.
That works.
But here's what you said to me, you go,
I didn't see him do anything till 20 seconds in.
No.
He like walked around.
Yes.
Yeah.
And then it was was like, oh yeah.
I got to dance.
Right.
That's what they all do.
Like if you're kind of like a little insecure
and you don't know the movement, they'll
set this whole world up.
And then before you even start dancing, it's 21 seconds in.
All right.
So who are we most surprised by for night one?
I would have to say that I was most surprised by Evanna.
I think we're all in agreement there.
Right?
I think she really came out, and she really brought it.
I don't necessarily think she's one that could go all the way,
but I certainly think that she's--
She could be a dark horse, because she's
got a lot more confidence.
What she needs to do also is just like homework.
When she was just walking down and like trying
to do that Beyonce walk, like go home, watch Beyonce.
Go.
Give us a walk.
Walk straight to that camera.
Give us the Beyonce walk.
Oh my goodness.
Is Bey here?
Oh my.
Oh my god.
He just found it.
You only had two steps, and you still worked it.
Got to lower the ball for that.
Watch your hands.
Drop the ball.
Way to go, Chris.
That was amazing.
Perfect.
Eight.
10.
So we always have to talk about--
There's a character in the ballroom.
There's a character.
There's a character in the ballroom,
and that character is Bobby Bones.
Bobby.
Here's the thing about it.
I am not here for it.
But she's even saying, I don't know what he's doing.
He's doing his own thing.
This is two weeks in row that he's doing his own thing.
Well, and that's the thing.
So he comes out, and he dances.
And I actually was like, OK, Bobby.
Like you're bringing this time.
And then he ends the dance, and he does a-- he adds a floss on.
Yeah.
Which by the way, I think is just almost a little
disrespectful to Sharna.
Also, it's just his face too.
He's always just like--
Tah tah.
Yeah.
All right.
So that was kind of the end of night one,
and I have to tell you by the end of night one,
I didn't realize we were getting a whole full night two.
I did not either.
I thought they would--
It was a full night two.
Because it was--
Vegas Night!
I will have to say we got a lot of Vegas cameos.
But you know what they couldn't get from Las Vegas?
You know who they could not get?
Magic Mike Live?
No.
Good guess.
They couldn't get Britney Spears' real voice.
Oh.
For a second I go--
You didn't notice.
Tinashe dances to a Britney song,
and she was in Britney's-- like she danced with Britney
on stage.
And she has a song with Britney.
And yet they got some person--
I think it was me.
Hey, let's give it up to [? Rate You ?] Live.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
So let's talk about the dancing.
Who do we think was most improved from night one?
I thought Evanna did better from like Monday
night to Tuesday night.
Yeah.
Because she had that confidence.
You know she is in that Airstream.
Yeah.
I agree.
I think she was improved, but I also
think we know that they always save
who they think is the best for last
or maybe the most improved.
And so that this time would have been Mary Lou,
and I thought she did great.
Oh.
The thing I love about Mary Lou is that she actually
dances the whole time.
Yeah.
She's not doing this 21-second--
sorry, Joe-- setup, where you're just like creating a world
and like really kinda getting into it.
How do you really feel?
And you dance for 10 seconds.
For me she's like a classic competitor
that starts a little slow--
Yes.
And she's getting better, and she's progressing.
And she's having fun with it.
Totally.
All right.
Let's give a favorite performance of the night.
It's Tinashe, [BLEEP].
Yeah.
Like the whole time.
She was really, really good.
And her musicality.
Tah tah.
You see, you're getting it too.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Six.
I'm not going to give myself a 10 yet.
Eight.
I have to grow.
A one?
Seven.
Eight.
You really had me on the edge of my seat there, Chris.
It took me-- it took me just as long
to write that seven then it did for Joe to actually start
to dancing.
That's good.
That's good, Chris.
So we ended the night in the last two minutes
with an elimination.
What [? are the teams ?] doing?
It was more like a sweeper away.
Oh yeah.
So we end up sending home Danelle.
And I have to say, she did not take it well.
So sad.
Put her on the monitor.
Yeah.
OK.
I guess I won't be working for the next 12 weeks.
It's cool.
You get to stare at them.
Yeah.
That's true.
OK.
So before we go, we're going to start this brand new segment,
and it's called who did you spot--
--in the audience?
Do it again.
It's called--
Who did you spot in the audience?
So this my favorite part of the show, because I always
look in the audience.
They always have celebrities--
Past dancers.
Past dancers or somebody, and they never acknowledge them.
Never, never, never.
Nope.
And this week was no exception.
We got two of my favorites from Bachelor Nation, Ashley I
and Jared.
I loved it.
Who were there with Kendall to root on "Grocery Store" Joe.
Of course.
You guys, we also had somebody who I recognized,
and I didn't realize why she was there, Camryn Manheim--
I know!
From The Practice.
I put them both together.
I was like, wait.
That guy, Milo Manheim.
Wait.
Same last name.
I know.
On night one, next to her.
I was like, wait a minute.
Is that Marcia Gay Harden?
Marcia Gay Harden.
Yes.
I love Marcia Gay Harden.
I was like why is she there?
And then for me, I--
Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
I know.
Just totally in the back.
And then like two acts later, he's serving pretzels.
He's slinging pretzels.
And eating pretzels.
Anyway, that's how you play--
Who did you spot in the audience?
A big thanks to y'all for joining us.
And don't forget to tune in next week.
And comment below to tell us what you think.
Spin it.
[HUMMING]
[? Zenny, ?] will you lift this heavy sandbag?
Yeah.
OK.
Thanks.
No.
But you know what I mean, like she's--
Oh!
(SLOWED DOWN) --she's-- oh!
Sorry.
Did it break?
Now, we're good.
[LAUGHTER]
(BRITISH ACCENT) Danger in the ballroom.
Danger in the cube.
Good Bruno.
But really, my darling.
