Dancing With the Stars: The Unexpected Elimination That Shocked Everyone

Dancing With the Stars returned for season 35 — with a night full of unforgettable performances and a jaw-dropping elimination. The ballroom competition kicked off Tuesday, September 15, where the male celebrity contestants each danced to a Billboard No. 1 hit from their birth year.

While the cast gave it their all, the judges were no-nonsense when it came to handing out scores. “Our expectations are super high, you’re going to have to earn every single point,” judge Derek Hough warned after Jackson Olson’s Savannah Bananas-themed cha-cha. “Don’t be surprised at where the scores land tonight.

” Olson earned a trio of 5s from Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, while Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez earned a total score of 10. Tyler Cameron, for his part, saw a dip in his score after Inaba pointed out he slightly lifted pro Sharna Burgess during their tango.
