DWTS19 Janel Parrish And Val Chmerkovskiy Interviewed About Their Partnership, Confidence, Strategy, And More
US Weekly interviewed Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy about Dancing With The Stars and their partnership. Janel says, “We feel pretty confident” and she likes the way Val teaches. Lots more below…
I’m having a hard time with these two. That is all. 😐
She certainly does not lack confidence.
Ugh…I’m already over it. I feel like this is going to be a long season with them. I pray to God the audience doesn’t buy into this and goes for Michael’s personality or Lea’s youthful spirit instead.
I love Janel, but I’m not really feeling their partnership so far. I have a hunch they’re gonna be the intense couple with eyes on the prize (MBT) and the lack of fun will be their doom.
I’m glad she isn’t downplaying her dancing background though. She should be confident, considering her past experience.
I didn’t really mind her. They aren’t on my favorite list but I so far don’t feel a need to study calculus or get dental surgery instead of watch them, not yet anyway. I think I’ll be able to appreciate their dances if not their rehearsal packages and interviews and tweets…
I agree – I’m not feeling them. However, this could have been much worse, and I’m glad she’s owning her dance experience.
Jive week one? or are they already working on week 2?
It will be fun to see them Jive. It’s my favorite dance and I really like Janel. The one thing that I would urge this couple not to fall into is that trap of not being able to have fun and being too serious. I think Janel will help with that. She seems to have a good balanced personality. I like that she’s being open with her dance experience. It makes her more likeable.

I love Val but don’t think these two are meshing very well. Not that they’re nit getting along well or anything. They just seem to be off. She seems to have a good balanced personality.

@Jenifer On the other “Spoiler” post from today, it was said that Janel and Val were already working on their week 2 Jive so it’s probably that.
Excited to see them jive. I remember Shirley Ballas said it was Val’s best dance. I really like Janel, she’s got a fun personality. but Val is so monotonous. I have faith he’ll deliver great routines, but I hope despite expectations he can take the seriousness down a few notches. His intensity sometimes stresses me out lol. Always love his dancing, but not so much his video packages.
I really like Janel and Val does really good choreo. I expect this team to be exciting and fun
The show has had worse when it comes to females. ALOT WORSE. I don’t think they’re that bad… but I do like Val.
Meh… I see desperation in them trying to win the MBT, especially Val…saying PLL army to be ready to vote. Wow the C-bros really making this show about them winning, not the celebs…producers better don’t make this season like last season.
@Thiana – I agree.
Such a silly boy, Val. Let’s see, the PLL army is not the only army ready for battle… we have the NASCAR army (of which could be Huge) or maybe the Fresh Prince (Carlton) army, or even the You Tube Army.
What’s wrong with simply connecting with the audience (or which their votes wins this show anyway), great choreography, a fun partnership, and entertaining us. That’s what wins this show.
I agree Sandy. They do need to connect with the audience but Val was the only pro that I’ve noticed campaigning even before DWTS announced who his partner is. This isn’t all about him, is it? I have a feeling that he desperately want the MBT, just like big bro.
Eh…I’d won’t mind at all if this couple was and early “shocking elimination”….
I’m so excited for this pairing! I think with they will have the right amount of fun and seriousness during rehearsals. And of course “Val wants to win”, all of the pros do. A huge part of “winning” comes from the voters themselves, so he is telling people to vote, and trying to get the pll fanbase involved and I don’t see anything wrong with that. If they’re great, and they make it to finals, then I hope they win.
