Dancing with the stars season 33 premiere saw 12 famous candidates take to the dance floor, but it was clear that Sports Illustrated Model Brooks Nader was extremely nervous and crossed her arms defensively as she listened to the judges’ feedback.

Former pro Chertyl Burke, however, has one piece of advice for Brooks to help her relax: “be crazy.”

“Everyone’s nervous, even the athletes who have been in the Olympics were nervous. It’s really hard to step into a show that’s been on for 33 seasons, but I also think they’ve had a really short window of time in terms of training,” Cheryl said. HELLO!

In previous seasons, the hopefuls often had up to six weeks of training, but this year many of them only started rehearsals after the Good morning America announcement two weeks in advance.

On her iHeartRadio podcast, “Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans,” Cheryl previously touched on Brooks’ nerves during her appearance on GMA, but she tells HELLO!: “When you have a beautiful couple participating, you have to go crazy and balance it out. They’re almost too beautiful.”

“I think they’re both very attracted to each other. I think in the beginning it’s just like any other relationship, it’s the honeymoon phase and I already know that that’s generally going to die sooner rather than later,” Cheryl continued, adding, “And I hope they can get to work and stop flirting.”

The new season of Dancing with the stars will be “spicy and spicy,” judge Bruno Tonioli previously told HELLO! ahead of the season premiere.

“It’s a really, really good cast – very feisty, very feisty. But it’s a show that I always feel like it’s a first – you can never approach it with anything that’s come before because they’re all so different,” he shared.

The celebrities joining Brooks in Season 33 include Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Roberts, Anna Delvey, Chandler Kinney, Ilona Maher, Joey Graziadei, Danny Amendola, Dwight Howard, Jenn Tran, Phaedra Parks, and Stephen Nedoroscik.

There was no elimination in the first week, but the judges’ points and the viewing figures count towards the scores in the second week.
