“Dancing With The Stars” fans know that Barry Williams has had his work cut out for him throughout Season 32. The former “Brady Bunch” star is the oldest contestant left in the running, and on Tuesday night he set the ballroom on fire.
Barry Williams set the Dancing With The Stars ballroom on fire
Barry Williams and his dance partner Peta Murgatroyd were pitted against Jason Mraz and his partner Daniella Karagach for a dance off. The couples were ordered to take on the Salsa, and they didn’t disappoint. Both men brought their A-game for the dance-off competition. However, it was Barry who had the ballroom rolling.
During their dance, Barry opted to rip his pink shirt open, showing off his toned physique and igniting a huge response from the live audience. When it was all said and done, the crowd was chanting “Barry, Barry, Barry.” Even the actor’s former “Brady Bunch” co-star, Christopher Knight, who was in the audience, couldn’t get enough of the shirtless Salsa.
Barry makes being 69 look good!
Missing Len Goodman right about now cause I know how he'd react positively to Barry's Salsa. GoOOO Barry! 👏👏🎉🥳 #dwts #WhitneyHoustonNight pic.twitter.com/oL3DCePilA— ECele64 (@ECele64) November 15, 2023
Barry and Peta had the live crowd captivated
Each week, Barry and Peta have done all they can to stay in the competition. This week, Barry’s biggest concern was his hips. He wanted to loosen up his bottom half and show that he could compete with his younger co-stars. Surprisingly, he even enlisted the help of his wife, who is a professional hula dancer.
Whatever he did seemed to work. The “Dancing With The Stars” crowd loved every second of Barry Williams’ Salsa dance. Even the judges couldn’t get enough of Barry and Peta’s performance. Ultimately, the fan-favorite duo won the dance-off against Jason Mraz, and earned themselves three extra points, which were added on to their scores for the night.
Barry’s DWTS run has been so much fun for fans
After the dance was over, Barry, Peta, Jason, and Daniella headed up to the “DWTS” skybox to speak with co-host Julianne Hough. After Barry was announced as the dance-off winner, he ripped his shirt off yet again. Of course, his co-stars loved the energy and went wild. The gesture also reignited the crowd, who began chanting the actor’s name yet again.
Sadly, Barry Williams was eliminated from the competition just moments after his huge moment. However, he wasn’t sad about it. He revealed that he’s been so happy to appear on “Dancing With The Stars” and that he feels like he’s won after going out with a bang.
