The frontrunner of this season’s “Dancing With The Stars,” has dance flawlessly for the past few weeks. In fact, Monday’s redemption style routine marks thr Olympic gymnast’s five performance in a row in which she’s scored perfectly. Just last week, Hernandez nailed two dances. Her first was a foxtrot with Chmerkovskiy, which prompted Bruno Tonioli to exclaim, “You executed everything beautifully.” And Julianne Hough said her performance “exceeded” everyone’s expectations. “You represent the American dream, and the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ dream,” added Carrie Ann Inaba.
Following that, the Olympic gold medalist returned later in the semifinals to do a trio dance with Chmerkovskiy and his older brother Maksim. The three danced a samba, which Inaba called, “It was by far your best dance ever!” Meanwhile, Hough felt it was “so amazing.” And during the finals, Hernandez did not disapppoint.
About her paso doble, Len Goodman said, “There was nothing in that dance I didn’t like.” Hough offered how much she enjoyed seeing Hernandez’s “growth.” Tonioli expressed, “That was wicked in the best possible way.” And Inaba gushed, “You are the most determined soul I’ve ever met, and it showed.” For their redemption style dance, Hernandez and Chmerkovskiy received a near perfect 38 out of 40 points. Watch the video below of Laurie Hernandez and Val Chmerkovskiy’s flawless finals performance on “Dancing With The Stars.” Video will be up shortly.
