After making a good career on the field, Maher stepped on the DWTS stage to show her moves. To everyone’s surprise, she is doing outstanding and even got a perfect 10 from Carrie Ann Inaba and a total score of 28 on the 500th episode. Maher even admitted that she was scared before the scores. With that, she is also proving her new talent to fans and getting trained for the same.

Maher shared a video on Instagram in collaboration with Joey Graziadei, American TV personality and former runner-up of Bachelorette (a dating game show), with a quote, “Definitely have some work to do: be nicer to men being the main issue here.” The video is all about Joey training Maher—how to behave on the first day of Bachelorette.

News, she said, “Yeah, we see, we see it all over. And honestly, keep doing it, people. We love it. I think honestly, if ship means relationship, we are, we are the besties. We love it,” when asked if they are aware of fans shipping them. However, nothing is confirmed yet, but one thing is for sure: they both like each other’s company and love all the attention fans are giving them.

When asked to say a few words on her first appearance, she started with a hilarious twist: “Thank you all for coming. This has been so fun, and you all are beautiful, but I don’t like all of you.” Later, when Joey asked to be a bit sensitive towards the candidates, she again tried, saying, “You’re not all ugly, but some of you just aren’t my type; you know, that’s fine.”

She didn’t even stop there; as the practice session moved forward, Maher showed her humor. She added, ‘Joey, your vibe has been terrible this whole time.

If fan enthusiasm is any indication, she’s already a favorite to make it happen. With this witty humor and Ilona Maher’s future speculations, fans want to see more of her ability to entertain.
