This lovable performer oozes talent and charisma.

Although the Writers Guild of America appears to have struck a deal with Hollywood producers, it may be too late to change the face of the fall 2023 programming season. Many beloved TV shows won't be coming back this season, meaning audiences will not be seeing any new episodes of Young Sheldon or NCIS. Fortunately, popular talent shows like The Voice, The Masked Singer, and Dancing with the Stars are currently airing, offering audiences a generous dose of entertainment.

ABC's Dancing with the Stars has been a fixture of American TV since 2005. Over the years, this celebrity dance competition has had an impressive thirty-two seasons, with the most recent installment currently airing. Featuring prominent celebrities like Matt Walsh, Jason Mraz, and Xochitl Gomez, DWTS season 32 also features a plethora of talented professional dancers. As demonstrated in the premiere episode, Rylee Arnold is arguably the best choice the show's producers have made so far.

Vigor and Zest

Paired with Harry Jowsey, a well-known Australian influencer who starred in Netflix's Too Hot to Handle, Rylee delivered a sensationally captivating Cha Cha Cha performance to Justin Timberlake's hit, Rock Your Body. Indeed, the duo rocked their bodies! The energetic and vibrant act mesmerized both the panel of judges and the audience.

However, many viewers have noted that Rylee shouldered most of the performance, pointing out that Harry appeared stiff throughout the dance. Moreover, his performance would have been entirely devoid of emotion if it hadn't been for the shirt-stripping moment. In essence, Arnold was the sole spirit of the act.

Who Is Rylee Arnold?

Despite her young age - the dancer is only eighteen - Rylee has already appeared on Dancing with the Stars before. In 2018, she and Miles Brown placed third on DWTS Junior. Additionally, Arnold's older sister Lindsay was a regular professional dancer and choreographer on the show for ten seasons, winning in one and finishing in the top three in three others.

More importantly, Rylee Arnold runs a YouTube channel and a popular Instagram page, demonstrating her ability to engage with audiences. As a result, the Season 32 professional gained thousands of new followers after her recent performance on Dancing with the Stars and generated a significant amount of publicity for the show. That makes her an asset for the producers who have struck gold with this casting.
