Jenna Johnson Reacts to DWTS Partner Joey Graziadei

Jenna Johnson, a pro dancer on 'Dancing With the Stars', initially felt disappointed upon learning she would be partnered with Joey Graziadei, a former 'Bachelor' contestant, instead of an athlete like NFL player Danny Amendola. During a podcast, she candidly expressed her surprise and sadness, noting she had hoped to finally dance with a football player in her career. However, after working with Graziadei, Johnson quickly changed her perspective, describing him as 'one of the most genuine humans' and praising their easy connection and fun working dynamic. Graziadei has also impressed the judges, scoring 22/30 in the second week, tying him for third place. Despite some social media discomfort regarding their chemistry, especially given Graziadei's engagement, both have maintained a professional rapport. Johnson's journey from initial disappointment to enjoyment highlights the unpredictability of the show’s pairing process.
