Dancing With the Stars: 2 Couples Eliminated on Yacht Rock Night
Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart were sent home as 13 contestants competed to smooth grooves and soft-rock classics, with Amber Glenn and Harry Shum Jr. topping the leaderboard with 24 points
The third week of Dancing With the Stars season 35 featured Yacht Rock Night, with 13 contestants competing to smooth grooves and soft-rock classics. At the end of the episode, Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart were eliminated.
Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov danced a Foxtrot to 'Hold the Line' by Toto and scored 24, tying with Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson, who danced a jive to 'You Make My Dreams Come True' by Daryl Hall & John Oates. Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas danced a Quickstep to 'Turn Your Love Around' by George Benson and scored 22.
The remaining 12 contestants will move on to the next week, which will feature music by Mariah Carey. Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+, with viewers able to vote for their favorite couples up to 10 times per couple, per voting method. Live voting takes place during the East Coast airing of each show and ends shortly after the final performance.
## What's Next The competition is heating up, with the couples facing a new challenge next week as they dance to Mariah Carey's hits. The couple with the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes is eliminated at the end of each episode, making every performance count.
The stakes are high, with the remaining contestants vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. The show's tough judges have been declining to score anyone above a 7, making it a challenging competition for the contestants. With the elimination of Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart, the pressure is on for the remaining couples to deliver their best performances.
## Why it Matters The elimination of Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart shows that no one is safe in the competition, and the contestants must consistently deliver high-quality performances to stay in the running. The show's format, which combines judges' scores with viewer votes, makes it a true test of the contestants' skills and popularity. As the competition progresses, the stakes will only get higher, making for an exciting and unpredictable ride for viewers.
