Dancing with the Stars pulled a fast one on Dedication Night. After an entire episode of elimination build-up, Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro announced that all 10 remaining couples were safe, with every score and vote carrying over to next week. Then came the twist: Horror Movie Night will send two couples home in a double elimination.
The emotional routines did the heavy lifting. Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov earned the top score of the night, 38 out of 40, for a contemporary dedicated to Glenn’s sister. Julia Stiles dedicated her foxtrot to the late Heath Ledger, and Tyler Cameron used his dedication dance to reveal that he and fiancée Tate Madden are expecting a baby girl. Jenna Dewan scored 37 out of 40 with substitute partner Alan Bersten while Val Chmerkovskiy served a one-week suspension, and guest judge Kym Johnson-Herjavec joined the panel.
So nobody packed their bags this week, but the stakes doubled anyway. Two couples exit on Horror Movie Night, and the carryover scores mean every point from Dedication Night still matters. Which couple are you most worried about heading into the double elimination?
