DWTS Week 3 Shock Elimination Leaves Studio Audience ‘Shocked and Silent’

Dancing With the Stars week 3 ended with Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart eliminated in a moment described as leaving the studio audience “shocked and silent”.

Hanson could be seen reacting with a simple: “Wow.” The result made Hanson and Stewart the fourth couple to leave the competition this season.

They joined Conner Leavitt and Adele Zaikman, Sarah Jane Nader and Hailey Bills, and Giada De Laurentiis and Alan Bersten, who were already eliminated.

The night also reshaped the leaderboard. At the end of week 3, Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov and Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson tied for the top, while Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson sat at the bottom.

With Hanson and Stewart out, twelve couples remain in the running for the Mirrorball trophy.

The competition airs Tuesday night at 8pm ET on ABC and Disney+, with streaming available the next day on Hulu.
