'DWTS' star Phaedra Parks's score is baffling after strong Cha Cha
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 33 contestant Phaedra Parks has recently made her ballroom debut with a thrilling performance on Chaka Khan's hot 'I'm Every Woman'. She partnered with Val Chmerkovskiy for the Cha Cha and nailed her flawless moves. Phaedra was near perfect and notably didn't miss a single step. The three-time champion Val brought his signature fun and flair to the routine, enhancing Phaedra's performance despite her status as a beginner. They proved to be a dynamic duo, showcasing Val's exceptional choreography. Unfortunately, the judges overlooked Phaedra's incredible talent, leaving fans wondering how they could possibly undersell the 'RHOA' star's dazzling debut.
Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli underscored Phaedra scoring her a mere 6, while Carrie Ann Inaba recognized her talent with a 7, bringing her total to 19 out of 30. Phaedra and Val landed in sixth place, tied with Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber. The dynamic duo's fiery performance warranted a higher score and top 4 spots, especially when compared to the sympathy scores that boosted Jenn.
