Lindsay Arnold he does not compete in Dancing with the Stars ballroom this season, but has been there to see one of the sisters Rylee Arnoldgreat times.
Lindsay, 30, attended the live taping of the Halloween Nightmares episode on Tuesday, October 29, with her daughter Sage, 3, joking on TikTok that the little one would be “scared” by the contestants’ make-up and costumes.
Lindsay noted that she was “excited” to see Rylee, 19, and her partner, an Olympic gymnast. Stephen Nedorosciktake their current schedule. The energetic duo danced to “I Ran (So Far Away)” by Hidden Citizens and found inspiration in Nedoroscik’s fear of the dark.
The judges were blown away by the performance, with Carrie Ann Inaba even referring to the show as “the best dance of the night.” Inaba, 56, gave Rylee and the contestant their first 10 of the season — and Rylee’s first 10 as a DWTS pro. (Derek Hough again Bruno Tonioli each gave the couple a nine, leaving them with 28 points out of 30.)
In a separate TikTok video shared on Wednesday, October 30, Lindsay gave fans a glimpse of her reaction when she saw Rylee’s milestone. She captured one of ABC’s ballroom monitors, writing, “POV: witnessing your child get her first 10 on Dancing With the Stars 😍.”

When Inaba raised her paddle in the clip, Lindsay screamed as the entire audience burst into applause. He played with disappointment when the two remaining judges presented their points.
“I think we’re all feeling ‘freaky’ finally after last night’s episode 😂😂😂 so proud of you @Rylee Arnold and @Stephen Nedoroscik 🇺🇸 #dwts #dancingwiththestars,” Lindsay captioned the video.
Rylee and Nedoroscik survived Tuesday’s elimination, with Jenn Tran again Sasha Farber sent home. After the episode – which also included one-on-one dances between the couples – Rylee and her co-stars opened up Us Weekly only about positive feedback on their performance.

Disney/Christopher Willard“I mean, that ten meant a lot to both of us,” he growled. “And more for me, that was my first 10 as a professional. [I’m] I’m so glad I did that with Stephen and I’m proud of him for doing that.”
Rylee made him DWTS He debuted as a pro last year during season 32 with the reality star Harry Jowsey. Lindsay has competed for 10 seasons DWTS and won his first mirrorball with the actor Jordan Fisher in 2017.
Lindsay was last seen DWTS in 2021. Despite confirming in August that she wasn’t wearing her dancing shoes for season 33, Lindsay is still participating in the competition with her sister. Earlier this month, he shared a heated take on the “confusing” scores being offered this season.

Disney/Christopher Willard“Right now in the competition … I feel like there should be a direct comparison,” he said in a TikTok video. “And when we see eights given to one couple and eights given to the other, in my mind, a lot of times I’m like, ‘Okay, but those weren’t equal dances.’
Lindsay also expressed her surprise that there are still 10, predicting that the judges will hold their own in due course. The tide turned on Tuesday night, however, with almost every couple receiving the desired score from at least one judge. (It’s Maher and pro Alan Bersten he got three eights.)
Dancing with the Stars simulcast on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8 pm ET. You can stream episodes on Disney+ the next day.
