“Dancing With the Stars” season 35 is in full swing, with night one of the two-night premiere already sending one contestant home. During night one, all eight male contestants and their pro partners hit the ballroom floor, and unfortunately, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Conner Leavitt and new DWTS pro Adele Zaikman went home.
Hopefully, there won’t be any more technical difficulties on day 2, where the eight female contestants and their pros will showcase their moves. Like the previous night, the women will be dancing to No. 1 hit songs from the year they were born, and there will be another elimination.
Here are your DWTS spoilers for day 2 of premiere night, including who goes home based on the judges’ scores and the fans’ vote.
