The latest season of Dancing with the Stars has officially started, and the contestants are already impressing everyone with their performances.
The autumn television season has begun, and ABC started Season 32 of “Dancing With the Stars” on Tuesday night, shortly after a tentative agreement was reached with the Writers Guild of America just two days earlier.
This season is the first one after the passing of head judge Len Goodman. At the beginning of the show, hosts Alfonso Ribiero and Julianne Hough revealed that the contestants would now be vying for the “Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy,” which is named to honor him.
There were notable moments during the evening, such as Rylee Arnold, Lindsay Arnold’s younger sister, making her first appearance as a professional dancer on “Dancing With the Stars.” However, the judges believed that her partner, Harry Jowsey, needed to improve. Jowsey ended up sharing the lowest score of the night with Tyson Beckford and Matt Walsh.

Leading the scoreboard was Charity Lawson, a former Bachelorette, and her partner Artem Chigvintsev, who scored a 22, which was the only 8 given out that night. Jason Mraz, dancing with Danielle Karagh, and Ariana Madix, with her partner Pasha Pashkov, tied for second place with a score of 21 out of 30.
Ariana even played into her drama from “Vanderpump Rules” by wearing a dress similar to the one from a reunion episode and shared a story of reclaiming her power after her Scandoval.
Unfortunately, one couple has to leave the competition. Mauricio Umansky and Matt Walsh found themselves in the bottom two, but in the end, it was Walsh who had Koko Iwasaki as his partner, who got eliminated.
