Who Went Home on Dancing With the Stars Tonight?
Andy Richter went home on Dancing with the Stars tonight, leaving the ballroom alongside partner Emma Slater after their Quickstep scored 29 in Season 34, Episode 9. Despite Richter’s upbeat stage presence and a “fun factor” called out by judge Carrie Ann Inaba, his footwork was inconsistent during the complex routine, and the panel, Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and guest Tom Bergeron marked him down. It wasn’t enough to survive the combined judges’ scores and viewer votes, and Richter & Slater became the latest DWTS couple eliminated tonight, with the mirrorball slipping away one round before the semifinals.

On X, @itsjamielh, one of the fans reacted to a tweet, expressing excitement that Andy is going home and out of the competition.
Who Finished at the Top of Dancing With the Stars?
-
Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas — 42 (Contemporary)
-
Dylan Efron & Daniella Karagach — 42 (Argentine Tango)
-
Robert Irwin & Witney Carson — 42 (Foxtrot)
These three couples tied for the top, each receiving perfect 10s from all four judges, including new guest judge Tom Bergeron. The judging panel stood for Whitney & Mark, citing “technical mastery and seamless creativity”—an earned superlative.
Who Finished at the Bottom of the Dancing With the Stars Leaderboard Tonight?
-
Andy Richter & Emma Slater — 29 (Quickstep) — Eliminated
-
Elaine Hendrix & Alan Bersten — 36 (Salsa)
-
Jordan Chiles & Ezra Sosa — 39 (Jive)
Richter & Slater’s 29 made them the low scorers, and they were eliminated accordingly. Elaine struggled with timing in the Salsa, drawing a “watch your transitions” from Derek Hough. Jordan’s Jive impressed, but an unsteady half-turn lost her a point though she escaped the bottom due to strong viewer support. No shock twist: scores lined up with elimination tonight.
