Joey Graziadei and his partner Jenna Johnson performed a lively Samba on Dancing With the Stars during Disney Night. Their routine was set to "Trashin' the Camp" from Tarzan and scored 25 out of 30, receiving two 8s and one 9 from the judges.
While the audience loved the performance, the judges had differing opinions. Bruno Tonioli praised Joey's confidence and skill in tackling a challenging dance. However, Derek Hough suggested that Joey needs to improve his arm movements to become a stronger competitor. Carrie Ann Inaba admired Joey's commitment to his Disney character but felt some of his steps were too exaggerated.
In the Disney Night episode, Joey played Tarzan, appearing shirtless to fully embody the character. His performance captured the essence of Tarzan through his expressions and movements. Fans and judges appreciated the effort, but some felt the scoring was unfair.
On Disney Night, Chandler Kinney & Brandon Armstrong and Danny Amendola & Witney Carson tied for the highest scores, each earning 27 out of 30. Chandler and Brandon delivered a powerful Paso Doble, while Danny and Witney wowed with an impressive jazz routine.
