Overview
- On the Oct. 28 Halloween episode, Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy received three 10s and a 9 from guest judge Cheryl Burke for a 39/40 that led the leaderboard.
- TV Insider reported their night was tallied at 43/45 when Dance Monster-thon bonus points were included.
- In a TikTok reaction, Earle’s stepmother Ashley Dupré said, “Oh, go take more Ozempic,” and commented on Burke’s appearance, drawing both laughs and criticism in the comments.
- Reports noted Burke previously told Us Weekly in August that she is not on weight-loss medication and credited dietary changes for her appearance.
- People highlighted an afterparty video where Earle stumbled rising from a split as Chmerkovskiy moved toward her, with Chmerkovskiy later agreeing commenters captured his concern; the pair are slated to dance a Paso Doble on Nov. 4 for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night guest judged by Flavor Flav.
