Sporting a long, blonde wig and an all-black outfit, the gymnast even took a moment to spin his legs around in pommel horse-esque fashion. As he continues to improve on his dancing techniques, he upped his score from last week, earning a 32 out of 40 in Episode 4.

Who is Stephen Nedoroscik DWTS partner?In Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars,” Nedoroscik’s partner is Rylee Arnold.

Arnold, who’s from Utah, is 19 years old and previously competed as the pro on “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.”

Who was DWTS guest judge for Episode 4?Tuesday night’s guest judge for the “Hair Metal” theme night was Gene Simmons, who famously served as the co-lead singer and bassist for Kiss.

Simmons gave Nedoroscik and Arnold a score of 8 out of 10, but seemed confused by the gymnast hitting the floor for some pommel dancing, saying: “What was that thing you were doing on the floor?”
