NFL Star Danny Amendola Captures Hearts in 'Dancing With the Stars' Season 33

2024-11-20

As the excitement builds around “Dancing With the Stars” Season 33, former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola has emerged as a standout contestant alongside professional dancer Witney Carson. Initially, Carson didn’t recognize Amendola’s fame, revealing she had to ask her brother about him. However, as the season progressed, it became clear that Amendola’s athleticism and work ethic have made him a formidable competitor.

Together, they achieved impressive performances, receiving significant praise and even viral attention for a mesmerizing lift during a contemporary dance to “Unsteady” by X Ambassadors. This move, where Amendola lifted Carson by one leg, generated over 11 million views on TikTok, showcasing their growing popularity among fans.

Heading into the semifinals, the duo scored 27 in the ballroom round and 27 in the Latin round, placing them in a competitive field of five remaining couples, including gymnast Steven Nedoroscik and “Bachelor” alumni Joey Graziadei. Despite facing tough competition, Amendola’s risk-taking and dynamic performances could secure him a place in the finale.

Looking ahead, Amendola and Carson are preparing for a Viennese waltz and salsa, hoping to leave a lasting impression as they vie for the coveted mirrorball trophy. Additionally, Amendola’s off-screen life is thriving as he has started coaching Carson’s son in football, blending his sports career with his newfound passion for dance.

As the finale approaches, viewers are eager to see if Amendola and Carson can continue their impressive run and potentially clinch the title in this popular dance competition.
