Season 23 of "Dancing with the Stars" showed Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy as the winner. For Season 24, another Olympic great wowed judges. Apparently, Simon Biles has a very strong chance of winning. As a matter of fact, she beat all the other contestants in the Season premiere.
This season has a variety of athletes, from figure skating to football, from gymnastics to bull riding and baseball. Biles partnered with Sasha Farber, and they did "Untouchable" by Tritonal and Cash Cash. Entertainment Weekly said that their Tango did not disappoint. Biles, being a gymnast, is a perfectionist, and she showed that on the dance floor.
The other contestants did great, too. When Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater did their cha-cha, everyone was blown away. Julianne Hough said that theirs was the best dance of the night so far, and Bruno Tonioli said it was a revelation, US Weekly reported. Jennings and Slater scored 31/40 - the highest at that point. But then again, the judges haven't seen Biles and Farber yet.
Biles and Farber is the last pair to show off their dance skills. The Olympic gold medallist said that she is nervous and that this is all very new to her, but when it was their turn to dance, she was very confident in her movements, and the judges just love her and their performance. She said that if Laurie can do it, she can do it - and she slayed.
Carrie Ann Inaba called the duo the "power couple" of the "Dancing with the Stars" Season 24, while Len Goodman said that it was the best dance of the night, and all of the judges complimented Biles on her great poise and solid frame. Biles and Farber got an 8 across the board, and they got the first spot.
