Simone Biles
Last week on the show, the judges told Biles that she needed to show more emotion in her dance and she definitely had an emotional response to their comments. What could have been a controversial moment was actually embraced by judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who told Biles in an Entertainment Tonight clip that: Let’s just clear the air, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. I loved your comment back to us. Smiling doesn’t win you gold medals. Just so you know, I want you to know that. That didn’t bother me at all — in fact, I loved it, because it was very honest of you. I could see you were frustrated, and it hurt, and you were a little mad, and you put up a little wall and you told us what you thought ... Keep what makes you so fantastic — your discipline, your precision, your incredible athleticism. In an interview with Chron, Biles talked about some of what she and DWTS pro partner Sasha Farber are working on with their dancing right now. Biles revealed: We're working on a rumba right now, and I actually really enjoy that one. We'll see. It's a passionate dance, but I think what I really like about it is the song we're doing. I love Demi Lovato. I think that's why I like it so much. Tonight, Biles and Farber are performing the Rumba to the song “Skyscraper” by Demi Lovato. In addition, for the judges' dances tonight, Biles has been matched with judge Inaba and she is dancing the Jive to “Faith” by Stevie Wonder featuring Ariana Grande. We do not see Biles being on the chopping block tonight. In fact, she has not been in jeopardy really the entire season. You never know what could happen on this show, but it's safe to say that Biles will be in the grand finale.
