Peta and Lamar, 39, danced the Foxtrot to Michael Bublé’s “Feeling Good.” The dance partners only scored 11/30 after judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli gave him 3s, while Carrie Ann Inaba scored Lamar with a 5. The score was the lowest any contestant has received in DWTS history.

The judges also unleashed their insults on the former NBA player and former Mirrorball Champion. Regardless, Peta praised her partner on Instagram and wrote, “WE DID IT!!! What a fun way to kick off the #DWTS season! So proud of @lamarodom!”

Lamar also acknowledged that dancing was a big step for him. “This post goes out to all my fans in the world. In 2015 my family was told by doctors to say goodbye. At that time, there was a small or no chance I’d survive. I did survive though and when I woke up from my coma nobody really knew if I’d ever walk or talk again,” he wrote on Instagram. “Yet there I was yesterday after surviving 12 strokes and 6 heart attacks dancing my ass off on @dancingabc with the amazing @petamurgatroyd!!!!”
