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

Jessie James Decker and Alan Bersten (#TeamAlHandsonDeck) have hung up the blue jeans and the dancing shoes on Season 31 of “Dancing With the Stars.” Now, with Halloween week around the corner, another team is going to have to prepare themselves for the spook of a lifetime as they become the next pair to leave the competition.

The competition is tightening and every single mistake is costing teams previous points, and things are only going to get tougher, as the remaining pairs once again need to learn more than one routine for the next week of competition, as Halloween will also bring the return of Team Dances and an extra round of judges’ points. But with every mistake potentially costing them the points they need from the judges, some teams are going to be considerably more vulnerable when it comes to a potential elimination.

While some teams like Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas, as well as Heidi D’Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev and Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy, who finished in the top three spots during Week 6 of the competition, are likely going to be safe to dance another week when Halloween is done, some of the other couples aren’t as lucky. With the eliminations officially getting harder, it’s going to be heartbreaking no matter who goes home now, but for three couples, in particular, things seem more likely destined to end.

Once again, despite trying to work on the things the judges said he needed to so he could do better, Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki (#TeamVinnyandKo) once again found themselves at the bottom of the judges’ leaderboard at the end of Michael Bublé night-and by a considerable margin, with the next lowest-scoring team five points ahead. At this point in the competition, Vinny’s hard work is admirable, but his lack of impressive footwork is causing him to fall behind by a considerable margin when it comes to the remaining teams. Every single remaining competitor has managed to get at least 9’s from the judges on their routines, but with the exception of his Jazz and Samba routines, where he scored 8’s, the best Vinny has managed to pull is 7’s. At this point, he is also the only competitor left who has an average score under 30 points, with a 27.43. Barring an impressive breakthrough, he likely isn’t going to fare well with the judges as the competition continues. However, he still has perhaps one of the strongest fanbases voting for him, so despite all the odds stacked against him when it comes to the judges, he may find himself still dancing another week.

Another team that could start finding themselves on the potential chopping block is Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart (#TeamSign2Shine). Though Daniel is steadily improving and performing well despite not being able to hear the music, when compared to some of the remaining competitors, he isn’t quite at the same level with scores. Following Jessie’s elimination, he landed in a tie for the 3rd lowest score of the night, with 43 points, and he has the 3rd lowest average overall when it comes to judges’ points, at 32.14. Still, like Vinny, he has a strong fanbase, and since he has yet to land in the Bottom Two, he seems likely to still be safe for a while longer.

Unfortunately, time has most likely run out for Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater (#TeamTremma). With Jessie now gone, Trevor has the 2nd worst scores of the competition, earning only 42 points during Week 6, and just breaking the 30-point average overall with 30.29 points. Also, unlike the other teams trending near the bottom, he has been in the Bottom Two—twice, including at the end of Week 6. though he did get a reprieve from the Bottom Two in Week 5, landing there twice now doesn’t bode well for him when it comes to having viewer votes coming his way. If he winds up in that spot again, barring a case where Vinny is there with him and the judges opt to save him a third time because he has been a better dancer throughout, it doesn’t seem likely that a third save in his future.

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