Such was the case with “Dancing with the Stars,” which suffered a shocking double elimination during its second week of Season 34 on Tuesday night. Like its very popular predecessor, the popular dance competition is a star-studded affair, with celebrities teamed up with professional dancers. By the end of the episode, we had lost former NBA star Baron Davis and actor Corey Feldman as well.
With the theme for the evening, “One-Hit Wonders Night,” there was particularly ripe potential for a clash of cultures. Celebrity contestants such as Danielle Fishel, Jordan Chiles, and Dylan Efron take to the dance floor with electrifying performances. Each duo performed in hopes of wowing the judges and getting the highest score. As sequences based off music’s greatest single smash flashes began to drop, the pressure in the ballroom built to a fever pitch.
Fourteen of our celebrity contestants, joined again by their pro partners, came back for one last shot at glory this week. The competition was fierce as each pair took to the stage to wow the crowd and the judges. Not all pairs were able to save their spot in the running.
Baron Davis and Britt Stewart, and Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson joined forces as well. Each of those pairs was on the verge of elimination for scoring less than their opponents. No breaking moves on the dance floor could save them; their time on “Dancing with the Stars” came to an end. The curtain on the show has closed, ending their journey.
The unexpected double elimination left fans reeling, a reminder of the cutthroat vibe of Season 34. As the competition progresses, viewers can expect heightened performances as remaining contestants strive to avoid a similar fate.
