'Dancing With The Stars': Who Was Eliminated During the Thrilling 'Halloween Week'? trucc
Tonight’s episode of Dancing With The Stars was filled with ghastly and creepy performances that made the audience shiver in fear. No, it wasn’t because Andy Richter was wearing something a little too tight. Rather, it was “Halloween Night” in the famous ballroom, as celebrity contestants and their partners gave their all to deliver routines that managed to hook the judges and the audience’s attention.
Tonight’s competition was divided in two rounds, with the second round being the famous Dance Monster-Thon. In this specific round, judges brought out each couple, one at a time. If a couple stayed in the round for as long as possible, they earned more points. The last couple that stood till the end of the round, won! At the end of the night, the total scores of judges, live viewer votes, and the second round were added up to determine which couple got eliminated.
To begin with, the first performance of the night was made by celebrity contestant Whitney Leavitt and her partner Mark Ballas. This performance helped Leavitt channel the anxiety and pressure that she has been going through during this competition, and that truly amazed the judges, which made the couple earn a wonderful score of 37 out of 40. She also earned her second 10 this week! Furthermore, the guest judge of the night was Cheryl Burke, the famous ex-pro who has won two Mirrorballs in the past.
What Happened To Elaine Hendrix On Dancing With The Stars?
Celebrity contestant Elaine Hendrix didn’t participate in this week’s episode because of an injury to her ankle that happened during rehearsal, an accident that landed her in the hospital. (Talk about scary!) Nevertheless, the production team of DWTS showed the rehearsal of their performance for the judges to vote, which earned them a score of 32 out of 40. Fans of the couple can take a breath of relief, since they weren’t eliminated this week.
Now, let’s continue by sharing which couple was able to get the highest scores of the night. The performance by influencer Alix Earle and Val Chermo got a judges score of 39 out of 40, which positioned them at the top of the leaderboard.
The couple of celebrity Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas got 5 extra points because they won the Monster-Thon round, so their final score was of 42 points in total, which made them second on the leaderboard.
Who Left Dancing With The Stars Tonight?
Now, let’s focus on which couple had the lowest votes of the night, comedian Andy Richter and his pro Emma Slater. The couple danced to a Paso Doble to the “Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67: I. Allegro con brio,” composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. The judges gave them a score of 28 out of 40, which put them at the bottom of the leaderboard.
The complete leaderboard of the first round is available to view below:
The final leaderboard score, after the Monster Thon round, is also available to view below:
And now, it’s finally the time to announce the couple that was eliminated from the competition this week. No, it wasn’t Andy and Emma, despite their lowly score. Rather, it was a very shellshocked Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnik. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star seemed very disappointed but graciously thanked her partner for a wonderful experience in the ballroom.
Well, we are truly looking forward to find out what other surprises await us on next week’s DWTS episode, “Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame,” which will be released on Tuesday, November 4, at 8 PM EST, airing live simultaneously on Disney+ and ABC.
Melissa Gorga Reveals 'Nightmare' Experience on Wife Swap: Real Housewives Edition trucc
Find out what sent RHONJ's Melissa Gorga into "sensory overload" on Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition.
After jetting off to Georgia for Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition, Melissa Gorga instantly clocked some things that would never fly in her Garden State home.
As part of the social experiment, the perfectionist mom from The Real Housewives of New Jersey first stepped outside her comfort zone and adopted swap counterpart Michelle Clark's more free-flowing lifestyle, including lax rules for her three children (Sean Jr., 8, Phoenix, 7, and Maverick, 3), as well as a an emphasis on quality family time over household cleaning and organization.
After helping prepare a vegan meal for the kids — while she begrudgingly joined swap husband Sean Clark in a juice cleanse — Melissa encountered one of the experience's biggest challenges: going to bed with dirty dishes still in the kitchen sink.
Though Sean insisted they could just clean up later, Melissa still asked, "Really? Are you sure? I'm in sensory overload."
As the RHONJ 'Wife further declared to a producer, "Oh my god, this is my nightmare. I am in a different world right now. Like, we're just gonna go to bed and leave that all in the sink right now? None of what goes on in this house goes on in mine."
Melissa Gorga reflects on her Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition experience
Melissa noted that she joined Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition to learn "to just let some things go," after husband Joe Gorga said that her rigidity in their Franklin Lakes, N.J. home was "too much" to handle, at times. Post-filming, she opened up about the experience and what she learned in the process in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish.
Referring to the Clark kids as "the sweetest, most polite, amazing children," the real-life mom to Antonia, 20, Gino, 18, and Joey Gorga, 15, said she "couldn't have gotten luckier" to be paired with the East Point, Georgia-based family. That's at least partly because seeing Sean's hands-on approach to fatherhood taught Melissa a valuable parenting lesson.
"Everything was a learning experience," she elaborated. "I'm like, wow, I spent a lot of time with my kids, but I don't make everything a learning experience when it really could be. ... So, I think just with motherhood, it gave me a lot of insight."
Though she still keeps her house "spotless," nowadays, Melissa "for sure" channels her swap husband when faced with parenting challenges. She added, "When something happens with my children, I think, like, 'What would Sean do? What would Sean have a conversation about right now?'"
Having introduced more structure and organization into the Clark family's highly intertwined lives on the show, Melissa, in turn, also hoped that she taught Sean and Michelle a thing or two about the importance of taking some alone time amid their daily "grind" as well.
"Divide and conquer does work," she remarked. "And you can think a little bit when you have some time on your own and you're not together 24/7."
Where Melissa Gorga stands with her Wife Swap family now
Even after filming wrapped, Melissa said she stayed in touch with the Clark family — and is still in close contact with them today.
"I talk to them all the time," she revealed. "They're an amazing family. They're trying to come out to New Jersey to hang out with us. They're originally from New York, so when they come to visit their family, we're going to see them."
After Melissa stepped in to finish off the couple's 10-day cleanse — and Michelle whipped up some healthy beverages for the Gorgas back in Jersey — on Wife Swap's Oct. 28 episode, the Clarks even shipped her an appropriate gift.
As Melissa further shared, "They sent me the most amazing juicer recently."
