Ezra Frech has officially become the “one to beat” after his incredible performance during week two of Dancing With the Stars.
The 21-year-old Paralympic athlete performed a Cha Cha dance with pro partner Daniella Karagach on Tuesday night (September 22), set to the tune of “Low” by Flo Rida.
Ezra received a score of 21 out of 30, putting him in a three-way tie for first place this week alongside Jenna Dewan and Amber Glenn.

Kalshi now predicts Ezra has a 26% chance of winning while Maura is in second with an 18% chance.

Amy Purdy reacts to Ezra Frech’s success on DWTS
Ezra said watching fellow Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy on the show one decade ago inspired him to want to do it too.
Amy wrote the below message on Instagram last week.
Representation matters.
When I was asked to do DWTS in 2014, as a double leg amputee, I had no idea what was possible. Seeing someone like me on TV showing the possibilities was rare.
Ezra watched me on the show and now here we are… I’m sitting in the ballroom watching HIM. ?
That’s the power of representation.
Sometimes seeing someone else do something doesn’t just inspire you it expands what you believe is possible for your own life.And now Ezra gets to do that for someone else.
Full circle.
