Savchenko and Nader got a standing ovation for their opening week dance. The duo brought the house down with their tango to Britney Spears’ “Piece of Me.”
The judges’ reactions were overwhelmingly positive, with some minor constructive criticisms. Carrie Ann Inaba said, “That [dance] was hot!” Bruno Tonioli said Nader has “potential” and should “focus on her core.” Derek Hough agreed with the previous two judges that the dancing couple has “potential,” which they were “looking for on night one.”

The judges felt this week was an improvement over last week and noted they could tell Nader spent “overtime” learning the dance. They praised her “great lines” and said she had “all the ingredients” to win the competition.
Their “9 to 5” dance scored them 20 points, a two point bump from the week before. This score made their total for the competition 38 points.
