(This story contains spoilers from episode six of Dancing with the stars season 34.)
THE Dancing with the stars the cast literally danced through life on Tuesday’s Wicked Night.
Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold were eliminated from the show at the end of the evening. Their exit from the competition comes after last week’s Dedication Night, where no couples were eliminated.
Contestants celebrated Jon M. Chu’s upcoming sequel Wicked featuring ballroom performances set to music from the beloved musical-turned-movie. And who better to serve as guest judge for the evening than Chu himself, joining head judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli for a dance-filled evening to commemorate the upcoming Villain: for good.
Heading into Wicked Night, the cast was intact with 10 contestants halfway through the competition. Remaining celebrities include The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, Olympian Jordan Chiles, social media star Alix Earle, The traitors third-season winner (and brother of Zac Efron) Dylan Efron, actresses Danielle Fishel and Elaine Hendrix, environmental advocate (and son of Steve Irwin) Robert Irwin, comedian-actor Andy Richter and Pentatonix’s Hoying, who was eliminated Tuesday night.
For the first time in Season 34, Efron rose to the top of the charts last week by performing a number to his brother Zac’s song “Rewrite the Stars.” He notably became the first competitor to obtain four nines, scoring the highest score of the competition with a 35/40.
But he was quickly dethroned, as Leavitt won the competition’s first set of 10 for his quick move to “Popular.” All judges except Hough gave the reality star a score of 10, leaving her just one point shy of a perfect 40/40. However, she didn’t stay alone at the top of the leaderboard for long, as Chiles also earned a 39/40, putting her first among week six’s top scorers.
Wicked Night proved to be a highlight for many other celebrities, including Irwin, Hendrix and Fishel, all of whom scored 36/40, each getting nines from the four judges. It’s no surprise that the contestants have started to achieve their best ratings of Season 34, since there are only five weeks of competition left before the grand finale.
At the end of each night of competition, the couple with the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes is eliminated. Live voting takes place during each show’s East Coast broadcast and ends shortly after the final dance.
Because no one was eliminated from the competition last week, the Dedication Night results were carried over and combined with the contestant’s Wicked Night scores.
