Is ‘Dancing With The Stars’ On Tonight? ‘DWTS’ 2026 Schedule
What’s better than an all-new episode of Dancing with the Stars? TWO new episodes of DWTS!
ABC’s reality hit returned last night (September 15) as the male celebrities took the stage to strut their stuff. But it wasn’t all fun and games because we had our first elimination of the season. Spoilers ahead!
In a shocking twist, Conner Leavitt and his partner Adele Zaikman, who won the first season of Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro to earn her spot, were sent home after performing Tag Team’s “Jock Jams” classic “Whoomp! (There It Is).”
Leavitt’s wife, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt, earned a fifth-place finish last season.
“This has been the most fun,” Conner said following his elimination. “I have the greatest dance partner in the world in Adele. I can’t wait for the world to get to see her talent.”
