Who Has Been Eliminated From DWTS Season 35 So Far
Ten couples have been eliminated through the first nine weeks of competition. Week 6, Dedication Night, had no elimination, and Week 7 sent two couples home:
- Week 1, Night 1 (Sept. 15): Conner Leavitt and Adele Zaikman, after a salsa to “(There It Is)” by Tag Team.
- Week 1, Night 2 (Sept. 16): Sarah Jane Nader and Hailey Bills, after a jive to “Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne.
- Week 2 (Sept. 22): Giada De Laurentiis and Alan Bersten.
- Week 3 (Sept. 29): Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart.
- Week 4 (Oct. 6): Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong.
- Week 5 (Oct. 13): Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson.
- Week 7 (Oct. 27): Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess, and Jackson Olson and Emma Slater, in a double elimination on Horror Movie Night.
- Week 8 (Nov. 2): Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa, after a paso doble to “Satisfied” from Hamilton on Disney Night.
- Week 9 (Nov. 10): Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy, after a jazz to “All for You” by Janet Jackson on Grammy Night, despite scoring 28 out of 30.
That leaves 6 couples still competing for the Mirrorball after Jenna Dewan left on Grammy Night, a week after Julia Stiles’ Disney Night exit and two weeks after the Week 7 double elimination on October 27. The semi-finals are next on Tuesday, November 17, with the title up for grabs when the season wraps on November 24. See each couple’s scores in our DWTS Season 35 scores and leaderboard. For a sense of how a season like this plays out, Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas’ run to the Season 31 title is a good example of how quickly the leaderboard can shift.
