Hey guys, welcome back to the rewatch series. This is going to be season three, week five. We're slowly getting there. And before you know it, season 33 is going to be starting here soon. September 17th is the big premiere Tuesday night, September 17th. So until then, though,

I will keep you entertained with all these rewatches. Let's get to it as we do. Each couple performed either the rumba or the samba. So let's start out with Joey Lawrence and Edita Slavinska

dancing a samba. Okay, so right out the gate was Joey

and Edita dancing to a George Michael song, which I believe as a samba, look, the slower, the

really add that to a George Michael song. I know for a fact that my ex-brother-in-law, Joey Lawrence,

loves George Michael. So I'm sure he was ecstatic when he got this piece of music. However, for the Samba,

it just doesn't go well, right? It doesn't go with the style of
