Dancing with the Stars is off to a great start, but week 2 brings the fear of being eliminated. Fans want to know, how did Jimmie Allen do?
Even though his performance impressed the judges last week (watch here), he scored 22 week 1, so he had a lot to prove.
Jimmie admitted he was super nervous week one, but the nerves seem to have all left as he confidently danced to his own song “Make Me Want To” with the Rumba.
He and his partner Emma Slater already have a super strong bond, and their partnership helped them impress the judges for week #2.
Overall, week #2 was good for Jimmie as he scored 27 points this week, along with last week’s 22 points, he had a combined total of 49. Fans were also really impressed that Jimmie could move his hips as well as he did.
And good news is, he’s SAFE!
During the pre-dance video, Jimmie emotionally told the memory of how his mother held his family together while struggling to make ends meet. One night his mom said, “’Hey ya’ll we’re going to camp out in the living room for a few days.’ Then I found out we lost our electric. Made me realize how strong my Mother is.” He did not know until later that his mother had done that to keep her children warm because they were without electricity at the time.
Jimmie and his wife Alexis also share the story of how they met. Neither of them were looking for anything at the time, and it all happened so fast. Jimmie says he’s still surprised his wife gave him a chance because “smooth Jimmie” did not show up the night they met.
