- Chiles says she's "scared" to show passionate side, but expects "breakthrough"
On the October 21st episode of 'Dancing with the Stars', several contestants earned their personal best scores, but one couple's excitement led to a bleeped moment on live TV. After judge Bruno Tonioli awarded another perfect 10 score, gymnast Jordan Chiles jumped into her partner's arms, and he appeared to say a swear word, causing the sound to be cut.
Chiles, who has been earning the same scores for the past three weeks, says she "really" wants to get a 9 this time. As the couple prepared to dance a Rumba, which Chiles' partner called "the dance of love," Chiles admitted she was "scared" because she hasn't shown this passionate side of herself before. However, she expressed confidence that this moment would be her "breakthrough."
After their performance, the judges praised the couple's "drop dead gorgeous" routine and "perfection" in their movements and emotions. Chiles' father, Timothy, who helped start her gymnastics career, was in the audience cheering them on.
