Week two of Dancing with the Stars, dubbed "the most watched entertainment show in America" by host Alfonso Ribeiro, delivered another night of dazzling performances and heartbreaking eliminations. Building on the scores from premiere night, the "One-Hit Wonder Night" theme saw celebrities tackle iconic songs, with Carrie Ann Inaba returning to the judging panel after a brief absence.
The competition was fierce, with some couples shining brighter than others. Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson's energetic cha-cha to "Baby Got Back," though lacking in technical precision, was undeniably memorable, earning them a score of 24. Andy Richter and Emma Slater's tango to "It's Raining Men" charmed the judges, receiving a 25, while NBA All-Star Baron Davis and Britt Stewart's samba to "Return of the Mack," despite a stumble, impressed with its overall vibe, earning a 28.
Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold also achieved a score of 28 with their cha-cha, showcasing improved timing and consistency. Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach's samba to "Macarena" highlighted Efron's surprisingly skilled hip movements, earning them a 30. Danielle Fishel's cha-cha, while hampered by a hamstring injury, still earned a respectable 31.
Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles delivered a show-stopping jive to "Maniac," earning a 32, and Elaine Hendrix's adorable jive to "Hey Mickey" impressed with its energy and charm, achieving a score of 33. Jen Affleck's quickstep to "Take On Me" earned a 34, as did Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy's powerhouse jive performance, praised by Derek Hough as a "powerhouse partnership." Lauren Jauregui and Brandon Armstrong's foxtrot also received a 34, mesmerizing the judges with its elegance.
Hilaria Baldwin's tango to "What is Love" wowed the judges with its beauty and grace, scoring a 35. Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas's high-energy cha-cha to "Wild Cherry" was praised as a "hit machine," earning a 37, and Robert Irwin's tango, deemed "powerful" by Bruno Tonioli, also received a 37.
Ultimately, after a nail-biting deliberation, Baron Davis and Britt Stewart, and Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson were sent home. The show will continue next week with a TikTok-themed night, promising even more excitement and surprises.
