Janel Parrish & Val Chmerkovskiy Size Up The 'DWTS' Competition

Janel Parrish arrives for Dancing With The Stars practice in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon (September 7).

The 25-year-old Pretty Little Liars actress signed some autographs before heading inside with pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy.

Speaking with US Weekly recently, Janel and Val both pointed out that Tommy Chong is going to be a major competitor: “Tommy Chong‘s got the illest hip action I’ve ever seen, for sure,” Val shared.

He added, “I want to start off strong. You know, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, and people have really high expectations for Janel, obviously, so I want to exceed those expectations.”
