How UW-Madison ‘Bachelorette’ Jenn Tran, ‘Bachelor’ Joey Graziadei and Olympian Ilona Maher did

Fun Fact: “The Bachelorette” Jenn Tran trained competitively as a pianist for 12 years.

She shared on Monday’s “Soul Train Night” episode of “Dancing with the Stars” before performing a steamy Viennese waltz to Alicia Keys’ “Fallin'” with her professional partner, Sasha Farber.

“Learning piano has been such a big part of my life, so to be able to dance to such a beautiful piece will touch a special place in my heart,” said Tran, an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

After the performance, judge Bruno Tonioli called Tran “a vixen” and her Viennese waltz with Farber “one of the sexiest” he has ever seen.

“That was sexy, I mean really,” said judge Carrie Ann Inaba. “I bring that up because you have a certain chemistry going on that really makes this dance come alive. You were excellent.”

Guest judge Rosie Perez, who was a dancer on “Soul Train,” loved the performance, describing it as hot, flying and “so.”

Judge Derek Hough praised Tran for fixing her frame after his previous feedback on it, saying it was his favorite part of the dance.

“Keep doing what you’re doing,” he said. “Nice job.”

Tran and Farber received a score of 31 out of 40, with an eight from Inaba, an eight from Perez, a seven from Derek and an eight from Tonioli.

Those were Tran’s first eights of the season, co-host Julianne Hough noted. And that score put the duo in third place on the evening’s leaderboard.

“I’m speechless. Absolutely speechless,” Tran said.

“I have you to thank for that,” Tran told her partner.

Since there was no “DWTS” last week due to the vice presidential debate, there will be a second new episode this week, on Tuesday.

“The viewers’ votes from both nights of competition will be combined with the judges’ scores from both nights to determine which pairs may be in danger of elimination on Tuesday, October 8,” the channel said in a press release.
