Which ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Team Will Be Eliminated Next?

Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke (#TeamThunderFroMDownUnder) have danced their last dance after landing in the Bottom Two for the second time at the end of Week 4’s Disney+ Night on “Dancing With the Stars.” Now, with Season 31 teams preparing not one, but two dances ahead of Week 5’s two-night event featuring both routines about special moments in their lives and ones to go with a Prom theme, another will likely have to prepare to kick off their prom shoes and call it a night when it comes to their time in the competition.

The fifth week, which will mark the halfway point in the competition, could prove to be the most challenging for the 12 teams, as each celeb will be learning two new routines for the first time, and this will mean they need to work even harder when it comes to impressing the viewers and the judges, who are only going to start getting more detailed with their critiques.

While Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas, Wayne Brady and Witney Carson and Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy, who all tied for the top spot on the judges’ leaderboard for the third week in a row seem more inclined to adapt easily to the challenge and coast through their next week of competition, the other teams don’t seem as lucky. Some, who have been showing marked improvements throughout their time on the show will also likely be safe, but for three teams in particular, the time may be coming for them to prepare their goodbyes.

Despite earning their best scores ever for their Week 4 Samba, Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki (#TeamVinnyandKo) are still trending at the bottom when it comes to their place on the judges’ leaderboard. Now that Sam, who had the lowest score of the night, was eliminated, they were tied for the second-lowest score of the night. The improvement from previous dances is commendable, but with several other teams already pulling 9’s predominant 7’s won’t continue to cut it. Vinny also has the lowest average score of the remaining teams, making him a prime target. However, he still also has likely one of the largest fanbases of the remaining teams, which should still keep him safe.

Falling to the bottom of the leaderboard (and tied for that spot) despite consistently also showing some improvement each week, are Joseph Baena and Daniella Karagach (#TeamDaBae). The pair scored only 28 points for their Charleston, which the judges felt relied too much on tricks. With a lower average score when it comes to remaining teams of 26 points as well, things are starting to feel a little less certain for the pair, who need to step things up when it comes to Joseph’s footwork and precision if they want to stay in this.

However, despite things not necessarily looking quite as good for Joseph and Daniella, they still will likely be safe, as one other team is in an even more precarious position. Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater (#TeamTremma) were also at the bottom of the leaderboard with 28 points and have a low average score of 26.5. However, the biggest indicator that they will be the next team to leave the competition was that they joined Sam and Cheryl in the Bottom Two—and this season, landing there one week generally means a team has ended up there again the following one. If they wind up there again, and the other team that follows them is deemed more deserving to stay in the competition by the judges, then their time will truly come to an end.

“Dancing With the Stars” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on Disney+.
