Last week on “Dancing with the Stars,” Elaine Hendrix and pro-partner, Alan Bersten, proved they’re more than just a fan-favorite duo… they’re legit contenders. The pair scored a solid 30 out of 40 (yep, that’s an 8 from Carrie Ann, 7 from Derek, 8 from Bruno, and 7 from guest judge Kym). And since it was a non-elimination week, that score’s carrying over into tonight’s results. Translation? Those numbers (plus your votes) will decide who sticks around and who gets sent home.
So, if you want to keep seeing Elaine & Alan light up the ballroom, now’s your time to make it happen.
A ‘Wicked’ Night That Could Change Everything
This week’s theme? ‘Wicked’ Night. Yep, the ballroom’s going full Emerald City, and it sounds like it’s going to be one of the most dramatic episodes yet. Elaine and Alan are set to perform a Contemporary routine to “Defying Gravity,” the powerhouse track sung by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande from the ‘Wicked’ movie.
Let’s be real; if anyone can pull off a routine to that song, it’s Elaine Hendrix. The woman has range. Between her sharp humor, elegance, and full-on commitment to every performance, she’s been one of the most entertaining celebs to watch this season. And Alan? He’s a pro at creating routines that let his partners shine. The chemistry’s there, the energy’s there, and the only thing left is making sure the audience keeps them in the competition long enough to show us what they can really do.
Because last week didn’t have eliminations, the leaderboard’s basically frozen in time. That means tonight’s votes could make or break it. If Elaine and Alan want to stay safe (and maybe even climb a few spots), they need fans to rally behind them. That’s where you come in.
