Dancing with the Stars aired its latest episode on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. The remaining seven couples returned to the ballroom to face their fears for a Halloween-themed night. Each pair upped their performance from last week, vying to secure a spot in the coming rounds of the competitive dance show by avoiding elimination.
In the newest segment, the contestants had to participate in two rounds of competition. In the first one, they had to present their own routines inspired by nightmares, and in the second, they had to face each other in a dance-off. The winner of each battle would earn bonus points to be added to their judges' totals.
While each attempted to go the extra mile, hoping to advance in the competition, not everyone could. Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber received the lowest votes and were eliminated from the show. Meanwhile, Dwight, Danny, Chandler, Joey, Ilona, and Stephen progressed to the next round.
Dancing with the Stars fans were displeased with the outcome. While sad to see The Bachelorette leave, they were more upset to witness Jenn's elimination before Dwight's. They took to X to comment on the same.
"DWIGHT SHOULD’VE GONE HOME. JENN WAS ACTUALLY IMPROVING GOD I HATE THIS," a fan wrote.
"Jenn actually dances and ate tf up meanwhile dwight is still here for giving nothing but whatever," another fan commented.
"DWTS making me ready to go to WAR. Jenn deserved to stay longer," a netizen tweeted.

"Jenn my love you didn’t deserve this. I voted for you every week. It should’ve been Dwight," a user reacted.
"Because y’all voted Dwight through, we lost Jenn. We cannot let the rest of this season go this way - we need to vote TALENT," a person commented.
"Jenn deserves better. it was dwight’s time to go," another fan wrote.
"Not a big sasha fan but Jenn had consistent improvement and STILL went home. but dwight hadn’t gotten a single dance since the premiere right until tonight and he stayed???" one user tweeted.
Many Dancing with the Stars fans disagreed with the results. They were upset Jenn did not have enough votes to stay.
"Jenn was improving so much like poor girl got her first 9 AND 10 tonight and she’s being sent home i can’t even," a person reacted.
"Jenn getting brutally dumped on live tv after her engagement and now getting eliminated why too early from dancing with the stars…. SHAME. SHAMMEEE," another netizen commented.

Before stepping onto the stage, she interacted with Buffy star, Alyson Hannigan, who gave Jenn some pointers on embodying the role of a vampire.
"I've dated a lot of vampires in my past, sucking the energy out of me," Jenn said before meeting with Alyson.
Before leaving, Alyson jokingly warned the Dancing with the Stars judges to give Jenn a higher score than an eight or she would turn into a vampire and "attack the judges." Jenn impressed the judges with her smooth and clean movements on the dance floor. The couple glided through the dance and executed the routine perfectly. Jenn's portrayal of a vampire captivated everyone.
Bruno Tonioli complimented Jenn, saying she was "on top of it all the way through."
"You were actually in charge of the dance and you won it, darling," he added.
Derek Hough echoed with Bruno. He was moved by how "amazing" the choreography was. The Dancing with the Stars judge praised Jenn for being in character "the whole way through." He approved of her journey and partnership with Sasha. Jenn got a 10 from Carrie Ann Inaba, and 9s from Derek and Bruno, bringing her total to 28 out of 30 points.
Despite winning the dance-off against Olympic athlete, Stephen, Jenn was eliminated from the show, having received the lowest votes. Nonetheless, she was grateful for the experience and was pleased "to have met all the people" she met on Dancing with the Stars. While speaking about Sasha, she said:
"We spent the past seven weeks attacked at the hip...I can't even imagine a life without Sasha at this point, and I didn't even know him seven weeks ago!" she added.
