Xochitl Gomez was “freaking out a little bit” over her minor Dancing With the Stars injury — but the Marvel star is not leaving the contest simply yet.
“I’m all good. Trust,” Gomez, 17, completely informed Us Weekly following the DWTS reside show on Tuesday, October 31. “I simply hit my knee against the altar at the very top. I couldn’t tell if it was a twist or if it was one thing with my kneecap — I don’t know.”
Gomez and spouse Val Chmerkovskiy performed a fresh regimen to “Game of Survival” through Ruelle all through DWTS Monster Night, earning the duo a rating of 37 out of 40. The routine ended with Gomez mountain climbing atop an altar, but audience were at a loss for words when Chmerkovskiy carried her off the dance ground after their performance.
Initially, it appeared that DWTS host Alfonso Ribeiro and Chmerkovskiy had been aiding in stabilizing Gomez as she stood in entrance of the judges’ desk.
“I was like, ‘OK, let me see if I will put my foot down and I can keep on it. We’re good,’” Gomez recalled to Us. “They have been asking me, ‘Are you OK?’ I’m like, ‘Yes, we’re good. Trust.’”
When they went to get their scores, Chmerkovskiy lifted Gomez’s dress, revealing what gave the look to be a blood stain. Gomez, in the meantime, played it off as part of the Halloween theme.
Despite the snafu, Gomez said she had “a lot of fun” doing her contemporary routine.
The duo returned to the dance flooring later in the night to compete within the “Dance Monster-thon” marathon, a four-minute festival that consisted of 2 dances. All the DWTS couples performed on the identical time till there was one pair left status. Any twosome visited by way of the Grim Reaper was sent off the dance flooring. Gomez and Chmerkovskiy ultimately received the “Dance Monster-thon” and were given five additional issues added to their ranking.
“I was no longer expecting that,” Gomez advised Us. “I was hoping, like, ‘Tap me out please.’”
As DWTS continues, Chmerkovskiy and Gomez are for sure the couple to beat — especially as they’re at the most sensible of the leaderboard after Monster Night.
“It’s kind of crazy. I don’t truly take into consideration it that method. I simply think about how the evening went and if it was neatly deserved,” Gomez explained. “All the stuff that we did this week was lovely exhausting, so it felt lovely well deserved.”
The actress credited her spouse for choreographing a killer contemporary routine despite the fact that he’s used to ballroom-style dances.

“I may inform it took a little bit of a toll, however it was a type of things that if you happen to guys can get via it together, you'll be able to get via it,” Gomez gushed. “So, it was a lot of fun. I feel I’d say that I carried for the fresh and [Val] indisputably carried for the dance marathon.”
