Two Couples Exited the Competition After Week 1
No one wants competitors to exit the competition. But after the first week, a double elimination resulted in Sarah Jane Nader and Conner Leavitt going home.
Their professional dancer partners, Hailey Bills and Adele Zaikman, were first-time pros this year. Many fans felt disappointed to see the dancers leave and hoped to see more choreography from them before their eliminations. Ultimately, Hailey and Adele will stick around for group numbers, even though their time in the competition has ended.
Tune into “Dancing With the Stars” at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 22, to catch the top 14 couples in action.
