Dancing With the Stars’ Emma Slater Reacts to Judges’ “Stingy” Scores on Premiere Episode

Still, his sister and Dancing With the Stars host Julianne Hough assured contestants they shouldn’t be too nervous about the judges’ scores, telling the cast, “Nobody should be freaking out just yet.”

And Olson, a player for the Savannah Bananas who danced the Cha Cha to the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe,” wasn’t too worried, telling E! News, “I hope that we can up those scores in the following weeks.”

But taking the stage as the first couple of the night certainly put some extra pressure on the 28-year-old.
