LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: With 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 airing its second episode on Monday night, fans saw celebs dancing to Elvis Presley's song. However, Joseph Baena's situation was different on the show. With his partner, Daniella Karagach, being tested Covid positive after the release of the premiere episode, he had to switch his partner. 

In Elvis night's episode, Joseph was paired with Alexis Warr for Viennese waltz. They danced to go with Elvis' 'If I Can Dream'. The couple took a few seconds to adjust to each other's frequency but instantly managed to do wonders on the stage. Joseph managed to swiftly move his heavy muscles beside Alexis' soft and flexible body. With that, the couple swifted all six in their bag, scoring 24/40. A few fans praised Joseph for adjusting with Alexis in less time. Even though Daniella was not there, 'DWTS' fans knew that if she was there the couple would have got more scores and would have done much better.

Daniella had recently tested Covid positive. However, she is still asymptomatic. It is not yet confirmed whether she will be returning next week or not. However, as of Elvis night's performance, fans think, "I was so impressed with Joseph being able to lead Alexis with such minimal time with her. Missing Dani, and there were a few rough moments, but it was still very solid. He did have some really great soft moments. #DWTS". Fans believe that Joseph managed to adjust his heavy body. "Joseph Baena did rather well. For a bulky bodybuilder to glide in such a light fashion was refreshing. And points to his partner who had to learn this routine in mere hours. That's seriously impressive. #DWTS," wrote one. Moreover, another fan pointed out that judges found Joseph to be more swift while dancing. To the same, a user said, "I need a drink everyone a judge makes a comment about a lift. It’s not Alexis’ fault she’s tiny and Joseph is a big body builder. #DWTS".



 



 



 

Furthermore, fans couldn't help but take notice of Bruno making a remark about Joseph's butt. He was seen claiming to Joseph that "he sticks his but out too much". Well, the statement instantly trolled all over social media. "Joseph Baena to Bruno: "so let me get this straight, you were looking at my butt?" I don't know why but that made me laugh #DWTS", claimed a fan. Another writes, "Joseph asking Bruno if he was looking at his butt #DWTS #DWTS31". Well, many fans wondered how Daniella tested positive and not Joseph who was too close to Daniella while performing last week. "But there is one thing I must ask about Dani’s situation. If we saw her at camera blocking yesterday and she was pretty much close to Joseph, wouldn’t he have to be tested and be negative to dance tonight?? #DWTS", wondered a fan.
