Who was eliminated on Dancing with the Stars tonight?
Nobody!
While the hit ABC reality series revealed early on that nobody was going home on tonight’s premiere, the first dance still matters! Live viewer votes from the first two weeks of competition will be combined with the judges’ scores from both weeks to determine which couples may be in jeopardy of elimination after two weeks of dancing.
Who finished at the top of the Dancing with the Stars leaderboard tonight?
The top score of the night was a tie between Robert Irwin and his partner Witney Carson and Whitney Leavitt, partnered with Mark Ballas.
But in truth, the real winner was Robert Irwin who earned his 15 points out of 20 legitimately.
Whitney’s on-air score was announced as a seven from both Derek and Bruno, totaling 14, but Bruno made an error when inputting the score into his computer. He put in an eight, so Whitney’s score went up to 15.

Who finished at the bottom of the Dancing with the Stars leaderboard tonight?
The lowest score of the night was a tie between Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson and Andy Richter and Emma Slater. Both couples only netted a 9 out of a possible 20.
Corey began rehearsing later than the majority of other acts, so he has some catching up to do, which, hopefully, he will do for next week, because to hear him talk about this experience, he wants to be there. And Andy was aware that he didn’t have the skill, but he had the attitude, and he gave it his best effort.
