Britt Stewart and Taylor Hanson are officially out of“Dancing With the Stars”Season 35, and the elimination has fans and pros alike asking how it happened. The duo scored 18 out of 30 for their foxtrot on Tuesday, which was not the lowest score of the night. They landed in the bottom alongside Guillermo Rodriguez and Jackson Olson, and the votes sent Britt and Taylor home anyway. Viewers were stunned, and the reactions poured in fast.
On Saturday, Britt shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute to her dance partner, writing that what they created together was“bigger than how many weeks we were given to create it.”Taylor opened up on the official“DWTS”podcast, breaking down in tears while describing the intimacy of their partnership. Fellow pro Ezra Sosa didn’t hold back either, commenting“I’m so pissed”on a TikTok of the elimination moment.
The whole situation has reignited the debate over how“DWTS”handles scoring versus fan voting, since a pair that outperformed the bottom scorers still got sent home. Britt and Taylor’s run may be over, but the conversation about whether they were robbed is just getting started.
Do you think Britt and Taylor deserved to stay? Sound off in the comments.
