DWTS Pros: Scores Don't Matter, Feedback Does!

Dancing With the Stars professionals Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy are not overly concerned with current judging scores, emphasizing the long road ahead in the competition. Johnson believes the show's exceptionally talented cast fuels viewers' desire for higher scores earlier in the season. She and her partner Harry Shum Jr. prioritize judges' critiques and feedback to enhance their performances, rather than fixating on numerical scores.

Meanwhile, Chmerkovskiy, partnered with Jenna Dewan, faces scrutiny over Dewan's background as a backup dancer. Dewan clarified that while her past experience is helpful, ballroom dancing requires a new technique, necessitating an "unlearning" process for her. Chmerkovskiy humorously states his main concern is a score between four and seven, with seven through ten being excellent. The season premiered earlier this month, with Johnson and Shum Jr. leading going into week three.
