Dancing With the Stars Premiere Night 2 Recap: Who Went Home?
The ladies of Dancing With the Stars season 35 are bringing the moves — and competition — to the ballroom.
ABC’s two-night premiere concluded on Wednesday, September 16, with the female celebrity contestants each dancing to a Billboard No. 1 hit from their birth year. Similar to night one on Tuesday, September 15, the judges did not hold back when it came to delivering honest feedback and scores.
“We’re all very excited to see what this cast can do, but we also want to leave room for growth, so remember that as the scores come out,” Carrie Ann Inaba shared at the top of the show before giving Jan Ravnik and Tatyana Ali a 4 out of 10. “We want you to earn every point of those scores.”
Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas wowed the judges with one of the highest scores of the night, while Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong’s foxtrot left them near the bottom of the leaderboard.
At the end of the night, the votes were counted and cohosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro revealed Sarah Jane Nader and pro partner Hailey Bills were eliminated from the competition.
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Scroll down for a complete breakdown of each couple’s scores from the second night of season 35’s premiere:
