Len Goodman was all praises for the duo, while Derek Hough was in awe of her finesse and movement. Bruno Tonioli went ahead and called her performance 'cool, cat like and sexy', seeing that she was a natural on stage.

Performing for Kloots was not easy, but as she put it, she knew that her late husband would want her to continue living her life. The duo scored an impressive 28 points. When Tyra mentioned that he's watching her with pride from up above, she stated that a friend had a dream where he was sitting in the second-row balcony instead, and that's where she likes to believe he is. Her words and resilience moved fans. 

"When Amanda Kloots said she lost her husband last year to Covid, I instantly burst out into tears. I'm so thankful to still have my husband here with me. 2020 was so hard.  #dwts" tweeted a fan. "Wow #thetalks #Amanda #DWTS not only did she make me cry… her strength and resilience!! And SHE CAN REALLY DANCE! @sherylunderwood tell your cohost bravo!!" agreed another.
