Will Barry Williams get eliminated? 'DWTS' Season 32 star lands last on leaderboard
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 32 star Barry Williams and his pro partner Peta Murgatroyd have continuously earned eights from the last few episodes for their thrilling performances.
However, in the latest episode Barry and Peta teamed up to perform on Elton John's 'I'm Still Standing'. The pressure was quite high on Barry as judge Bruno Tonioli performed in the original music video for Elton in the 1980s.
However, Barry and Peta scored 28 out of 40. Meanwhile, Barry's score was quite low so far in the episode which sparked speculations that he could be eliminated.
Meanwhile, the viewers want to see Barry in further episodes and insist on voting for him. A viewer wrote, "I fear for barry omg please don't send him home."
Another person added, "Please barry you have to stay everyone vote for him please please please it’s my birthday that’s my only wish." Another fan wrote, "Pls let Barry stay another week 🤞🏻."
Another X user penned, "And the other song was higher energy too. #dwts. Also the show did Barry dirty by making him go last and giving the 70 year old the least rest between dances." Another follower tweeted, "If Barry goes home tonight I’m going to be so sad #DWTS."
