Amber Rose Makes Like Khaleesi on Dancing with the Stars: WATCH!

Forget winter. Amber Rose hopes that great scores are coming. Amber Rose Goes All Game of Thrones on Dancing with the Stars In the video above, Rose and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy go to extreme, impressive lengths on television night, giving Dancing with the Stars viewers a look at a very unique Viennese Waltz. It features Rose dressed as Daenerys Targaryen and Chmerkovskiy as Khal Drogo. The duo is also dancing to the beloved Game of Thrones theme music while spinning all around. Coming off a combined score of just 24 (out of a possible 40 points), Rose really needed this routine to go over well on Monday evening. Did it?!? Len Goodman told the talk show host that she “captured Game of Thrones” and that her dance was “full of imagination.” Julianne Hough said she thought Rose made an improvement from last week to this week. And Bruno Tonioli added, a bit condescendingly: “I could see the effort.” After the judges’ critiques, Tom Bergeron also told Amber that she seemed “more confident,” to which Rose responded that she “took what the judges said” to heart. Still, she only earned 24 points again. Were they robbed? Is Rose right in thinking that Dancing with the Stars is rigged ? Rose is considered an underdog on the competition. She does have a huge fan base on social media, but it’s unclear how many of those people watch Dancing with the Stars. She also used to work as a stripper, so she might have more moves in her repertoire than the average contestant. But those moves might not be appropriate for a family show. Does Rose deserve to stick around for another week? What did you think of her Game of Thrones-inspired routine? And do you agree with the overall odds as we’ve posted them below? Sound off now!

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Keep Your Lochte Locked Down

Dancing with the Stars’ second episode of the 23rd season is in the books, and for some couples, there are already reasons for concern. Tension was high and security on high alert as Dancing with the Stars Season 23 Episode 2 got underway on the ABC Television Network. The scores and votes from this episode would be combined with last week to determine who will be the first couple to go home next week. Make sense? Fortunately, any protests were limited to the scoreboard, as Ryan Lochte performed without incident and Laurie Hernandez just dominated. The gymnast revealed in a pre-performance video that she had two dreams in life, to be in Olympics and to be on Dancing With the Stars. Yes, really. The teenager fulfilled that dream by performing a jive to the theme song from Duck Tales (Woo-oo!) even though she’d never seen it. Thirty-somethings everywhere are feeling so over the hill right now. In any case, with Val as Scrooge McDuck, they scored 32 points. Good for first place, BTW. One point behind were Terra Jole and Sasha Farber, with a quickstep to Bewitched that Julianne Hough said was made for the reality star. Bruno Tonioli said it was the most “complete and rounded quickstep” they had seen, so it’s hard to do much better than that for praise. In third place were Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and Allison Holker, with an Argentine tango set to the X-Files theme song. Very creative!

Fortunately for the former Texas Governor, he’s aware of this and in on the joke as far as what a joke it is that he’s even out there. Unfortunately … 22 points. That would be dead last, but with four other couples tied at 24, perhaps he has a chance to out-poll one of them and stick around? If only for a week or two? Amber Rose Goes All Game of Thrones on Dancing with the Stars At 24 were Maureen McCormick and Artem Chigvintsev, Amber Rose and Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Jake T. Austin and Jenna Johnson. Joining them was last week’s man of the protesting hour, Ryan Lochte, and his partner Cheryl Burke, who got through it without incident. That’s the good news. The bad news? That it simply wasn’t good from a technical standpoint, at all, and the scoreboard doesn’t lie. With the top and bottom tiers clearly established, we have everyone else pretty much bunched up in the middle trying to stay competitive. View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: Who Will Win? Will James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess, Jana Kramer and Gleb Savchenko, or Vanilla Ice and Witney Carson be able to step it up? Will Megatron himself, Calvin Johnson and Lindsay Arnold, take it to the next level? Or will Marilu Henner and Derek Hough make a run? When you watch Dancing with the Stars online, you’ll see that they gave performances that were decent but not particularly memorable. Good enough to survive on next week’s results show? Most likely. But unlikely to take them to the finals without some real improvement. Who’s your pick this year?! View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: All the Winners!
