ABC’s Dancing With the Stars continued its 34th season on Tuesday, with seven remaining celebrities and their professional dance partners vying for the crown on Week 9 of the dance competition series.
The episode was dubbed 20th Birthday Party Night in honor of the show’s 20th anniversary. Tom Bergeron, who hosted Dancing With the Stars for 15 years before he was let go in 2020, returned as a guest judge. (Bergeron’s exit came after he criticized the casting of former White House press secretary Sean Spicer.)
After an opening number featuring six pro dancers from Season 1, this year’s contestants impressed the judges with new routines, as four of the seven couples earned perfect 40 out of 40 scores.
Here are their scores and what they performed:
Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa: 37/40

Chiles, Efron and Irwin each earned two bonus points during the relay round.
Who got eliminated last night?
In the end, Richter and Slater were eliminated from the competition.
“I’ve said it a bunch, it’s changed my life. I’m a different person because of this show and this woman,” Richter said after his elimination. “It’s been wonderful, and I certainly feel like a winner.”
Eight celebrity contestants have been sent home so far this season. Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck, Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying, reality star Hilaria Baldwin, Fifth Harmony singer Lauren Jauregui, former NBA All-Star Baron Davis, and actor and musician Corey Feldman were eliminated on previous episodes.
