'Dancing with the Stars' begins its thirty-fourth season adorned with its customary flair and grandeur
The 20th anniversary and 34th season of "Dancing with the Stars" is underway, and the competition is heating up. However, the identities of the celebrities in danger of elimination in the next weekly finale remain unclear, as the available search results have not explicitly named them.
In the latest episode, several celebrities found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard. Corey Feldman and partner Jenna Johnson tied for the lowest score of 9 points out of 20, following their Tango performance to "It's Still Rock & Roll to Me" by Billy Joel. Andy Richter and Emma Slater also earned the same score for their Cha Cha to "Hold On, I'm Coming" by Sam & Dave.
Meanwhile, Baron Davis and partner Britt Stewart, and Dylan Efron and partner Daniella Karagach each received scores of 10 out of 20 for their Cha Cha routines. Jordan Chiles and partner Ezra Sosa also earned scores in the same range for their Salsa performance.
At the other end of the spectrum, Robert Irwin and partner Witney Carson, and Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas tied for the top score of 15 points out of 20. Leavitt's Tango impressed the judges, while Irwin's Jive to "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf was a crowd favourite.
The show's judges, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, were joined by guest judge Julianne Hough for the evening. Carrie Ann Inaba was absent due to sickness, but it was confirmed that she would return for future episodes.
In an exciting twist, the upcoming week will see the 14 couples dancing to "one hit wonders" ahead of the dreaded double elimination. The double elimination is scheduled for a future week, and fans are eagerly anticipating the results.
The show's opening number included all the pros, judges, and hosts, setting the stage for an entertaining evening. Notable performances included Hilaria Baldwin and partner Gleb Savchenko's Cha Cha to "Let's Get Loud" by Jennifer Lopez, and Lauren Jauregui and partner Brandon Armstrong's Tango to "yes, and?" by Ariana Grande.
Elaine Hendrix and partner Alan Bersten, Danielle Fishel and partner Pasha Pashkov, Jen Affleck and partner Jan Ravnik, and Alix Earle and partner Val Chmerkovskiy also took to the dance floor, impressing audiences with their moves.
Stay tuned for more updates on "Dancing with the Stars" as the season progresses. With the double elimination looming, the stakes are higher than ever.
