Dancing with the Stars Live Results: Updated results for Ilona Maher, Dwight Howard and more from 2024 DWTS episodes 3-4

After a week’s break, Dancing with the Stars is back.

The show didn’t air last week due to the vice president debate, but fans of the show will be happy to know that there will be such a show two This week’s episodes. And for what it’s worth, we feel recognized as Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz said, “Thank you all if you’re still awake and to the people who missed Dancing with the Stars.” I appreciate that.”

DWTS week begins with a rare Monday episode. It will continue to air in its normal 8pm ET time slot and can be seen on ABC and Disney+. The show will then continue on Tuesday evening – at the same time, at the same place.

The theme of Monday’s evening is “Soul Train”, while Tuesday’s theme is “Hair Metal Music”. The vibe will be flawless on Monday night, while we should keep an eye out for cool costumes and wigs on Tuesday.

Nearly two weeks after the last episode, below is a recap of the action from Episode 2. Then check out this article for updates in Monday and Tuesday’s episodes as we update the judges’ scores and any eliminations.

Dancing with the Stars Episode 2 Results

Episode 2 brought the second dance for the contestants and the first eliminations. Finally we could see the power and weight of the public vote.

Even though Anna Delvey and Tori Spelling weren’t among the lowest-scoring dancers, they were both rejected. This means we won’t see Delvey accessorizing her ankle monitor accessory to match this week’s outfit.

There is also increasing speculation that Brooks Nader has started dating her trainer/partner Gleb Savchenko. They appeared flirty on screen, but then TMZ released a video of them kissing backstage! When fans see what song they’re dancing to in Episode 3, the #DWTS hashtag will explode.

Who was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars?

Episode 2 brought the first eliminations. When the dust settled and the audience votes were counted, Tori Spelling and Anna Delvey were eliminated.

On Tuesday’s episode 4, Reginald VelJohnson and Eric Roberts were eliminated. Monday night’s episode was pre-recorded, so it existed not any eliminations on Monday.

Aside from her dazzling ankle monitor, Delvey will always have a place in DWTS history if not for this unique send-off. Seconds after Spelling raved about the opportunity, Delvey brought the whole thing down – and not in a good way.

How does the “Dancing with the Stars” rating work?

The show’s scoring is divided into two categories: jury and audience. During the episode, the three judges each give the dancers a score from 1 to 10.

This season, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli return as judges. Before the audience votes, the judges award the dancers a maximum of 30 points.

This is where the scoring can get confusing. The point is not exactly the number of points a dance receives, but rather how this number affects the total number of votes cast by the jury. Let’s say the judges award 100 points throughout the round. Dancer A receives 10 and Dancer B receives 20. Before the audience votes are counted, Dancer A receives 10 percent of the judge’s votes and Dancer B receives 20 percent.

Let’s say Dancer A received 35 percent of the public vote while Dancer B received only 5 percent. Dancer A’s final result would be 45 percent of the votes, and Dancer B would have received 40 percent. In this example, Dancer A would move on and Dancer B would be eliminated.

The score is the percentage of votes from the jury added to the percentage of votes from the audience to get an overall score.
