Dancing With The Stars just wrapped their first-ever TikTok night — and fans are absolutely furious over the shocking elimination.
The twelve remaining couples performed a variety of dance styles to popular TikTok hits, and when it came time to read the results, hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough revealed Andy Richter & Emma Slater, Lauren Jauregui & Brandon Armstrong, and Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten as the bottom three for the night.
In a surprising twist, Jauregui and Armstrong were sent home — despite being considered frontrunners for the Mirrorball Trophy.
Immediately following the announcement, Jauregui was asked how she felt about her elimination, to which she responded in one word: Pissed. Pro dancer Slater appeared to apologize to Armstrong as the credits rolled.

DWTS fans also took to X to express their disappointment that the Fifth Harmony singer was leaving after just three weeks of competition.
“Lauren Jauregui might have just cemented herself as the most robbed Dancing With The Stars contestant in history,” wrote one fan. “I would like to report a crime. Lauren just got robbed on live television.” joked another.
“A #dwts elimination hasn’t pissed me off like this in sooo long WHAT R WE DOING,” added a third. “Lauren being sent home when she was one of the most beautiful and captivating dancers there…” said a fourth.

Many fans questioned how Hilaria Baldwin & Gleb Savchenko continued to advance in the competition, despite growing backlash over her previous dance experience. Others blamed the judges for giving Jauregui the same score as Richter this week, arguing that her dance was much stronger than the comedian’s.
After the first two weeks of competition, Jauregui and Armstrong were tied in third with Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy and Jen Affleck & Jan Ravnik for the highest cumulative scores. The only couples above them on the leaderboard were Baldwin & Savchenko, Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas, and Robert Irwin & Witney Carson.
Dancing With The Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
