Summary
- Giada De Laurentiis received lowest scores with partner Alan Bersten.
- The pair had a tense argument during dance rehearsals.
- De Laurentiis struggled to slow down her dance movements.

On "Viral Hits Night" of "Dancing With the Stars," Giada De Laurentiis and her professional partner, Alan Bersten, were visibly dismayed after earning the lowest score of the night. The duo, known as Team Aldente, received only 12 out of 30 points for their salsa performance.
This disappointing score followed a pre-recorded segment revealing significant tension during their rehearsals. De Laurentiis and Bersten clashed over pacing, with De Laurentiis initially finding it difficult to slow down her movements. Bersten expressed his impatience, while De Laurentiis felt rushed. Eventually, they found a rhythm, with Bersten humorously suggesting they needed group therapy.
Following their dance, De Laurentiis explained the "healthy friction" to co-host Julianne Hough, admitting she needed to learn to slow down and enjoy the process. The show airs Tuesdays on ABC and Disney+.
