14 Oct
Summary
- Judge Carrie Ann Inaba used expletive while praising dancer.
- Savannah Bananas' Jackson Olson impressed judges with salsa.
- Olson performed despite also competing in Banana Bowl game.
During the recent "Super Bowl Night" episode of Dancing With the Stars, judge Carrie Ann Inaba delivered effusive praise for Savannah Bananas' Jackson Olson. Inaba became so enthusiastic about Olson's salsa performance with partner Emma Slater that she exclaimed, "My Savannah Bananas are kicking ass!" despite initial hesitation about using the phrase.
Olson's performance to "Uptown Funk" was a significant step up, incorporating judges' previous feedback and showcasing newfound confidence. This marked a notable improvement, earning the pair their first 8s of the season and a total score of 31. The judges, including Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Joe Buck, commended Olson's remarkable progress.
The athlete's success on the dance floor is particularly noteworthy given his demanding schedule. He competed in the first-ever Banana Bowl championship game on Saturday in Washington, D.C., shortly before his performance on DWTS. Despite the Bananas losing the championship game, Olson continues to advance in the dance competition.
