Who went home on Dancing with the Stars tonight? The elimination result
During the Super Bowl‑themed episode, the judges and audience votes sent the pair Guillermo and Witney home. Their departure was announced after the judges confirmed the safe couples and the lowest‑scoring pair.
Safe couples and leaderboard highlights
The judges began by naming the first group of safe contestants in no particular order: Julia & Ezra, Maura & Mark, Jackson & Emma, Harry & Jenna, and Amber & Pasha. A second batch of safe pairs followed: Ezra & Daniella, Jenna & Val, Tatyana & Jan, and Connor & Rylee.
Ezra and Daniella earned the top spot on the leaderboard with a 36‑out‑of‑40 score for a fiery salsa set to Nelly’s “Hot in Herre.” Judges praised their energy, body rolls, and the dramatic shirt‑tear moment.
Performance notes from the night
Harry and Jenna delivered a samba inspired by Usher’s “Yeah!” featuring a drumline and backup dancers. Bruno noted the lack of heel leads, while Carrie Ann encouraged more challenge. Their score was 33/40.
Jenna and Harry also performed a paso doble to Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” receiving a perfect 36/40 from the panel. Bruno called it “thrilling from start to finish,” and Carrie Ann highlighted the Spanish flair.
Judge commentary and voting dynamics
Bruno, Carrie Ann, Derek, and Joe each offered specific feedback. Bruno’s remarks about Ezra’s “bright light” and Harry’s “event‑like” samba illustrate the varied criteria. The judges’ scores combined with viewer votes determined the final elimination.
What’s next for the remaining contestants?
With five weeks completed, eleven couples remain. The competition will continue to feature Super Bowl‑era music, and the next episode will reveal which pair climbs the leaderboard and which faces the risk of leaving the ballroom.
Fans searching for who went home on Dancing with the Stars tonight now have a clear answer: Guillermo and Witney exited the show, while the remaining couples prepare for the next challenge.
