'Dancing With the Stars' Premiere: Ariana Madix Leans Into Scandoval

SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from the Season 32 premiere of “Dancing With the Stars.”

The fall TV season is officially here. ABC kicked off Season 32 of “Dancing With the Stars” on Tuesday night, just two days after a tentative WGA deal was reached.

The season marked the first since the death of head judge Len Goodman. At the top of the show, hosts Alfonso Ribiero and Julianne Hough announced that the cast will now be competing for the “Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy,” named in his honor.

A few highlights of the night included Rylee Arnold, Lindsay Arnold’s younger sister, making her debut on “Dancing With the Stars” as a pro. Unfortunately, the judges felt her partner, Harry Jowsey, needed some work. Jowsey tied for the lowest score of the night with Tyson Beckford and Matt Walsh.

At the top of the scoreboard was former Bachelorette Charity Lawson and partner Artem Chigvintsev earning a 22 — the first and only 8 of the night. Jason Mraz, dancing with Danielle Karagh, and Ariana Madix and partner Pasha Pashkov tied for second place with a 21 out of 30. The latter even leaned into her “Vanderpump Rules” drama, wearing a dress very similar to the one she wore on the reunion, and focused her story on taking back the power post-Scandoval.

Still, one pair had to go home. Mauricio Umansky and Walsh landed in the bottom two. Ultimately, Walsh, who was partnered with Koko Iwasaki, was eliminated.
