In a dramatic turn on Dancing With the Stars season 34, the ballroom bid farewell to not one but two celebrity contestants during the second week’s double elimination. The pairs of Corey Feldman & Jenna Johnson and Baron Davis & Britt Stewart were the ones sent home after judges’ scores and viewer voting sealed their fate.
The evening’s theme was “One-Hit Wonders,” and Feldman’s cha-cha to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s Baby Got Back earned him 15 out of 30 points. His partner Jenna Johnson had pushed him to keep energy high despite the challenge. In his farewell comments he expressed regret, saying, “I feel really terrible because she deserved better.”
Davis, on the other hand, danced a samba to Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison. Their score of 18 out of 30 did not save them in a tough elimination round. Davis thanked Stewart for her support, saying he appreciated her pushing him to bring his best.
The eliminations stunned many fans who felt Davis especially had more potential left to give. Social media erupted with pleas for him to stay instead of other contestants perceived as less prepared. Among the voices: “Baron deserved way better,” and “Get Hilaria out, let him stay.”
On the night’s leaderboard four couples tied for the top score of 22/30: Robert Irwin with Witney Carson, Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa, Jen Affleck with Jan Ravnik, and Whitney Leavitt with Mark Ballas. Their unified performance underscored how close the competition had already become.
For DWTS, this moment marks a turning point. The departure of Feldman and Davis narrows the field—and raises the stakes for the remaining pairs. Past this moment, every routine, every viewer vote, and every judges’ critique carries even more weight.
