The competition continued with the most emotional week yet on\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/a><\/em> Season 34. For the Tuesday, October 14, episode, \u201cDedication Night,\u201d the remaining 10 stars<\/a> honored the most important people in their lives with special routines.<\/p>\n To make things even more special, the honorees joined the contestants on the dance floor for parts of the dances. Carrie Ann Inaba<\/a>, Derek Hough<\/a>, and Bruno Tonioli<\/a> were also joined by former pro Kym Johnson Herjavec<\/a> at the judges\u2019 table, so the scores were all out of 40 instead of 30 this week.<\/p>\n At the end of the episode, the star with the lowest combined judges\u2019 scores and viewer votes will be eliminated. Scroll down for a live recap of the performances and leaderboard, and keep checking back to see who is sent home at the end of the episode.<\/p>\n Andy Richter<\/a> has been kept in the competition thanks to viewer votes all season long, and he continued to tug at heartstrings with his salsa dance, which he dedicated to his stepdaughter, Cornelia.<\/p>\n Cornelia joined Richter on the dance floor for part of his performance to \u201cJump in the Line.\u201d Herjavec gave Richter some encouraging words, as she reminded him that she once danced with Jerry Springer and kept getting voted through, despite having low scores.<\/p>\n \u201cSweetness, light, all things bright,\u201d Tonioli said, while also referring to Cornelia as a \u201clittle Baby Spice.\u201d He noted that there were \u201cplenty of steps\u201d in the routing, although they weren\u2019t always on time. \u201cI saw improvement tonight,\u201d Inaba said. \u201cThere\u2019s something going on. You\u2019re starting to feel really comfortable in the moves, which I love.\u201d Unfortunately, she also had to note that he was \u201coff in the musicality\u201d in the beginning.<\/p>\n All four judges gave Richter a 24\/40 for the routine.<\/p>\n For his dedication dance, Robert Irwin<\/a> paid tribute to his mom, Terri Irwin, who raised him and his sister as a single mother after Steve Irwin<\/a>\u2018s death in 2006<\/a>. Irwin danced a contemporary to \u201cYou\u2019ll Be in my Heart\u201d by Phil Collins<\/a>.<\/p>\n The ballroom (and judges) were in tears after the performance. \u201cYou gave us all of your heart and soul. All I can say is this was the true expression of everlasting love,\u201d Tonioli said. Inaba said if she ever had kids, she would\u2019ve liked them to be like Irwin. \u201cYou\u2019re so honest and open and you\u2019re just always connecting with the audience. It was really beautiful,\u201d she raved.<\/p>\n Hough fought back tears as he told the Irwins, \u201cThe love I have for your family \u2026 thank you. I love you, man. I\u2019m so proud of you.\u201d Herjavec also cried as she praised Terri for \u201craising such great kids.\u201d<\/p>\n With three 9s from Tonioli, Hough, and Johnson, and an 8 from Inaba, Irwin scored a 35\/40.<\/p>\n Robert Irwin and Witney Carson<\/a> \u2014 35\/40 Dancing With the Stars<\/strong><\/em>, Season 34, Tuesdays, 8\/7c, ABC and Disney+ (Streaming Next Day on Hulu)<\/strong><\/p>\n For a more extended celebration of two decades of Dancing With the Stars, from exclusive interviews to retrospectives and must-see photos, pick up a copy of<\/i><\/b>\u00a0TV Guide Magazine\u2019s<\/a><\/b>\u00a0Dancing With the Stars 20th Anniversary<\/b>\u00a0special issue, available for purchase online at<\/i><\/b>\u00a0DWTS.TVGM2025.com<\/a><\/i><\/b>\u00a0and on newsstands now.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nAndy Richter & Emma Slater \u2014 24\/40<\/h2>\n
