Spoilers for Dancing with the Stars Season 35 Horror Movie Night (Tuesday, October 27, ABC and Disney+). Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess and Jackson Olson and Emma Slater went home in a double elimination. Eight couples remain (TV Insider; Page Six).
Shirley Ballas brought the 4s
Guest judge Shirley Ballas gave 4s to Julia Stiles (The Omen Argentine tango, 26/40) and Tatyana Ali (Sinners paso doble, 28/40). EW reports audible gasps in the ballroom (EW).
A perfect 40
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned four 10s for a Saw-themed contemporary, the season’s first perfect score. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like that,” Ballas said.
Val’s apology
Back from his suspension, Val Chmerkovskiy told Jenna Dewan in rehearsal footage: “I am so sorry for all the chaos. You did not sign up for that, and I feel awful.” She replied, “I forgive you” (The Hollywood Reporter). Their Argentine tango scored 37.
Tyler’s goodbye
The Bachelorette Season 15 alum’s Dracula Viennese waltz scored 26/40, the lowest two-week judges’ total (58/80) on Page Six’s tally. Ballas even used visual aids on his footwork (Reality Blurred).
“It was an incredible run,” Tyler said, calling Sharna “a new best friend” and the show “a 10/10 experience” (Bachelor Nation).
