STILL RECOVERING FROM THE SHOCK

Johnson, who is also a contestant on the show with her partner Karamo Brown, opined that very few people were anticipating the exit of Chmerkovskiy and Brinkley-Cook.

The professional dancer also brought everyone's attention to the fact that just how easy it is to assume that one is safe because they have been getting high scores.

However, the format of the show is such that anything is possible and it is hard to predict things for anyone.

Johnson also wrote that she always saw Chmerkovskiy and Brinkley-Cook in the finals before admitting that she may have been biased toward her husband.

BEST PARTNER EVER?

She was also full of praise for Brinkley-Cook, whom she considered to be one of the best partners her husband has had.

"My husband would come home just raving about her every night, and what a sweetheart she is, how her heart and soul would go into every single rehearsal, every single piece."
