First, apologies that my power rankings are a little late, Disney Plus decided not to make the live broadcast link available on their site last night, and a lot of Dancing with the Stars viewers were locked out (story HERE)

But alas we’re here. Let’s get to the power rankings for dedication night!

() Denotes last week’s ranking:

1. Joey Graziadei (2): Joey was able to capitalize on what we saw as something of a shakeup at the top, with the final couples that were up to elimination. He made that performance look almost easy.

2. Stephen Nedoroscik (3): Yeah, the dedication to men’s gymnastics was a little broad and not as poignant as the others but it gave him the chance to actually do a mini routine during his performance and he rocked it.

3. Chandler Kinney (1): We have to talk about this one because the judges went hard on Chandler this week, after one of the best starts to a season in recent memory. They also left her in the final 3 for elimination, and while that doesn’t necessitate the bottom 3, the optics are terrible. DWTS does this once or twice a season.

4. Danny Amendola (4): Those of us who followed Mike Leach got the full emotion here. Amendola did him proud. Such a great job.

5. Jenn Tran (5): She’s only getting better. Some Xochiti energy here.

6. Phaedra Parks (6): Smooth and steady. She’ll have to move some more as the young stars only get better but she’s got her base of fans.

7. Ilona Maher (9): She got back on track this week after an emotional setback last week. Her likability is going nowhere. Fun to watch.

8. Dwight Howard (7): Howard hasn’t been carried like this since Jameer Nelson. Daniella is going to have to get really creative from here on out.

Eliminated:

Brooks Nader: She got better but the audience never warmed up to her. She also had the impossible task of following that Derek and Hailey dance that had viewers emotional.

What do you think? How would you rank it differently? Let me know in the comments.
