Wicked Night Recap & Elimination

Dancing With The Stars season 34’s Wicked night will see the stars in the ballroom dancing to songs from Wicked and Wicked: For Good as an elimination looms, and we’re bringing you up-to-the-minute updates. After Dancing With The Stars season 34’s last week of competition saw the stars dedicating emotional dances to their loved ones, the lack of elimination may see multiple celebrities headed home.

As the stars get further in the competition, the dances grow more difficult and their skills are more thoroughly judged by the DWTS judges. Throughout the last few weeks of competition, it’s been clear that Dancing With The Stars season 34 has continued to get tougher, and the margin between the competitors has grown slimmer with each passing week.

Stick around for updates throughout the episode as each couple dances for their spot in the next week of competition, and tries to avoid elimination.

Scott Hoying Was Eliminated From Dancing With The Stars Season 34

The Bottom Three Includes Andy Richter & Dylan Efron

After an incredible evening of performances, Dancing With The Stars season 34 had to move forward with an elimination after last week’s was skipped. Although the stars were all able to connect to Wicked, some had stronger performances than others, and the bottom three of Scott, Dylan, and Andy made it clear the vote was a difficult one.

Dancing With The Stars season 34 saw Scott and Rylee eliminated from the ballroom, taking them out of the running for the mirrorball trophy. With Andy and Dylan still in the mix, it was tough to see Scott go, but his dances throughout the season made it Dancing With The Stars far more fun this season.
