Dancing With the Stars Delivers Week 2 Double Elimination After Judges’ Panel Reunites

The cuts were determined by combined two‑week scores and live viewer votes under the restored 30‑point scale.

Overview

  • Week 2 featured a One‑Hit Wonders theme in the show’s 20th‑anniversary season, with all 14 pairs performing before results were announced.
  • Carrie Ann Inaba returned to the ballroom, rejoining Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli as scoring reverted to the standard three‑judge, 30‑point format.
  • Eliminations were based on the aggregate of Week 1 and Week 2 judges’ points plus votes cast during the live broadcast.
  • After two weeks, the leaderboard is topped by a tie at 37 out of a possible 50 points.
  • The series airs live Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, with next‑day streaming on Hulu; eligible viewers can cast up to 10 online and 10 text votes per couple during the live window.
