First, ex-pro Maks Chermkovskiy tried to scare up a little attention for himself recently by<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/10\/dwts-maksim-chmerkovskiy-jan-ravnik-pro-dancer-jen-affleck-1236599591\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> dragging poor Jan Ravnik<\/a> over his lack of ballroom experience. Then, host Alfonso Ribeiro opened Tuesday\u2019s show by revealing how poor Elaine Hendrix injured herself and won\u2019t be competing on Halloween night. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDon\u2019t be frightened, though, fans; The Parent Trap <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/10\/dancing-with-the-stars-elaine-hendrix-injured-1236600986\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gal is still in the competition<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIn the meantime, check out who got the first 10s of the season on a night of fake blood, creepy eye contacts, and maddeningly low lighting. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Comedian Andy Richter with partner Emma Slater.<\/strong>\u00a0Goodness, I need a moment to fully process how this man, sweet as he is, is still here. He began his paso doble by walking through a corn field dressed as a priest while dry ice filled the stage and masked how he really can\u2019t dance. Still, it was a decent enough performance to prompt Derek Hough to literally break his 6 paddle. Are 7s in Richter\u2019s future? \u201cYou have some kind of mystery happening,\u201d said Carrie Ann Inaba. \u201cEvery week you get better and better. What I noticed this week is that your posture is improving.\u201d <strong>SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>28 out of 40<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-deadline-2019\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/179804_CW_08368.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"1536\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tANDY RICHTER, EMMA SLATER\/Disney\/Christopher Willard<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Actor Elaine Hendrix with Alan Bersten.<\/strong>\u00a0Good thing the DWTS crew filmed the duo\u2019s Argentine tango during rehearsal Tuesday; it would end up being the performance that everyone would rely on to cast their votes. (For those who were born and raised on DWTS, you know that this is a common occurrence when someone gets an owie on the dance floor and needs to bug out from the live show). It had the makings of a pretty snazzy routine, like when Bersten lifted Hendrix above his head. But those movements further irritated a rib injury that Hendrix first sustained during Wicked night. The last thing we saw, poor Hendrix was being wheeled off on a gurney to the hospital. But it didn\u2019t hurt her standing. Gotta love the sympathy vote! \u201cShe is a born performer,\u201d said Hough. \u201cEven in that rehearsal, she was so impressive.\u201d <strong>Score:<\/strong>\u00a032 out of 40<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jen Affleck (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) with Jan Ravnik.<\/strong>\u00a0The pro tapped his Taylor Swift roots by choreographing their flashy jazz number of \u201cLook What You Made Me Do.\u201d Affleck\u2019s got some moves but her number could soon be up, especially if those crazy kids in the audience decide to save Richter again. \u201cThat beginning was off the charts,\u201d said Inaba. \u201cThe movements were amazing. There is still a bit of inconsistency. Be aware of your full body.\u201d Hough made sure to give some love to Ravnik in light of Chermkovskiy\u2019s recent criticism by saying he\u2019s had a great first season. <strong>Score:<\/strong> 32 out of 40<\/p>\n<p><strong>Danielle Fishel (Boy Meets World) with Pasha Pashkov.\u00a0<\/strong>There was nothing particularly frightening about their Viennese waltz, which was a nice change from all the creepy tomfoolery earlier in the night. Wait, I take that back; within seconds of the number\u2019s start, Fishel appeared to slit her stomach and spill red blood all over her white dress and Pashkov\u2019s hands. Madness! \u201cLyrical and totally mental!\u201d exclaimed Bruno Tonioli. <strong>Score<\/strong>:\u00a033 out of 40<br \/><strong><br \/>Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa.\u00a0<\/strong>A mummified Chiles was dragged around the floor with a rubber band before beating her heart and leaping willy nilly in a contemporary number that showed off her gymnastic skills. She ended the routine with Sosa holding her in a very bitchen handstand. Inaba and Hough didn\u2019t seem to love the rubber band trick but still championed her tumbling.  \u201cMy feisty little fighter, I\u2019m telling you no ropes, nothing can hold you back because you believe,\u201d said Tonioli. <strong>Score<\/strong>: 34 out of 40<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Reality TV star Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach.<\/strong>\u00a0Wait, Efron got hurt, too? Apparently, Karagach hit and broke her partner\u2019s schnoz during rehearsals, so he had to make sure not to get his head too close to his diminutive teacher during their otherwise twirly and very aggressive Viennese waltz. Guest judge Cheryl Burke called them the most improved couple of the season. \u201cWhat makes you fantastic and separates you from everyone else is the way you understand the emotional intention of every move,\u201d said Inaba. <strong>Score:<\/strong>\u00a035 out of 40<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Whitney Leavitt (The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) with Mark Ballas<\/strong>. The precious duo opened the show with a funky jazz number to Green Day that had them jumping out of a bed and walking like Frankenstein in striped costumes and bug-eyed contacts. Hough said it was all tricks with no treats. \u201cYour partnership continues to impress me every single week,\u201d said Burke, who was nattily dressed as Cleopatra. \u201cWatch your timing a little bit.\u201d <strong>SCORE:\u00a0<\/strong>37 out of 40 (first 10 of the season)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-deadline-2019\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/179804_CW_07798.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"683\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tWHITNEY LEAVITT, MARK BALLAS\/ Disney\/Christopher Willard <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin with Witney Carson.<\/strong> More dry ice! Fortunately, Irwin\u2019s Viennese waltz could be seen and enjoyed as he expertly flung Carson across the floor. The number ended with Carson \u201cbreaking\u201d Irwin\u2019s neck before a bunch of dudes dragged Irwin across the floor. By the time the lights went up, his face was covered in blood. Going forward, Burke encouraged him to make sure his feet \u201cmake love to the floor.\u201d Good note! <strong>Score:<\/strong> 38 (second 10 of the season) out of 40<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Social media personality Alix Earle with Val Chmerkovskiy.<\/strong>\u00a0Earle made the mistake of telling her partner to be \u201charder\u201d on her, so her rehearsal package was filled with teary-eyed testimony about how hard it is to tango. She snapped out of it, though, and looked mighty good twirling around the stage in her boney costume. \u201cSometimes tough love gets the job done,\u201d said Hough. \u201cVintage Val! That was chilling, intense and controlled. That was fantastic, Alix.\u201d <strong>Score:\u00a0<\/strong>39 (three 10s) out of 40<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Dance Monster-thon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tEach couple was required to do the hustle for up to four minutes before getting tapped out. The longer a couple lasts, the better the score, with 5 being the highest. The floor was split up like one big Tic Tac Toe board before the monster-thon got underway. Richter went first; followed by Affleck, Fishel, Efron, Irwin, Chiles and Earle. Carson was the winner. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe show wrapped up with Tonioli stripping down to a shiny gold tank top and cowboy hat. I don\u2019t know, man. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tMore than 55 million votes were tallied for Tuesday\u2019s vote \u2014 another record!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tRichter was saved again. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t Final three were Hendrix, (who wasn\u2019t there), Affleck, and Leavitt. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAffleck was sent home. \u201cShe\u2019s a rock star,\u201d said Ravnik.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tNext week is Rock n\u2019 Roll Hall of Fame Night. Ribeiro and host Julianne Hough revealed they will participate in team dances. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s Halloween Night, and a couple of scary things already happened before the first goblin hit the floor.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":340003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[50089,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-340002","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dancing-with-the-stars","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115455744587609368","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
