Scores<\/strong>: 7, 6, 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My<\/strong> score<\/strong>: 6 at best <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My take:<\/strong> Honestly, there was not much to the dance. The best part was the beginning costume (shown to the left) with the fake belly paying homage to the tiktok Jen posted to the same song right after giving birth to her most recent child which had gone viral.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
