Story summary

On Tuesday, Ciara Miller and her professional dance partner Brandon Armstrong were unexpectedly eliminated from Dancing With the Stars after earning a score of 21/30 for their Jazz routine set to Mariah Carey’s “Emotions.” The show had dedicated an episode to celebrating Mariah Carey, but it ended with one of its fan favorites being sent home. Prior to Miller's elimination, co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro announced that three couples were in danger: Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson (13/30), Jackson Olson and Emma Slater (21/30), and Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong. Despite the shock to fans, particularly those who supported Miller, who was one of the season’s early favorites, this elimination has reignited debates about the show's criteria for eliminating contestants. Some argue that viewer votes play a significant role in deciding eliminations, questioning the importance of judges' scores if certain contestants consistently receive low marks regardless of fan support.
