Who Got Eliminated On ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Night 2?
It’s a sad night in the Dancing with the Stars ballroom once again.
In the end, it was Sarah Jane Nader and partner Hailey Bills who were eliminated after hitting the dance floor and giving it their all with their Week 1 dance, which landed them a score of 14/30. The final moments showed the duo as they were embraced by their fellow dancers and contestants, who now go on to Week 2, which will eliminate at least one more couple from contention for the Mirrorball Trophy.
The elimination comes after a tough first night, which also featured an elimination, marking the first time the show has sent competitors packing in Week 1 since Season 32, when Veep star and comedian Matt Walsh was booted immediately.
Online, fans of the long-running reality program expressed mixed emotions over the double elimination in the first week of Season 35, with some protesting and calling it unfair and others saying that it gives the show an exciting twist, especially with more couples dancing overall this season.
