‘DWTS’ Predictions: Which Season 28 Pair Will Be Eliminated On Movie Night?
The first elimination of the season has already taken place, and while the remaining eleven teams can breathe a sigh of relief over the fact that they made it past Week 2 of the competition, there is no time to rest, as another pair will find themselves saying goodbye after Week 3 of “Dancing With the Stars.”
The third week of the competition is set for the 11 remaining teams hoping to win the Mirrorball, and week two’s performances and scores, as well as the live viewer votes, proved that this season may be anything but predictable. With tougher than ever critiques from the ABC show’s judges’ panel and America weighing in as the pairs dance, things are going to heat up more than ever on the show. While some teams most likely seem to have a very high chance of coming back, like front-runners Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten, as well as James Van Der Beek and Emma Slater and Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko, a few others aren’t quite so lucky, and may not have quite as certain of fates going into the third week of competition.
Whether they just aren’t quite impressing the judges yet or may have more lackluster fan bases, there are three couples in particular who seem like their movie night dances will end with someone yelling “Cut!”
Unfortunately for Lamar Odom and Peta Murgatroyd, a.k.a. #Team2XChamps, his short-term memory loss didn’t do them any favors last week with their Salsa. Though he managed to improve his previous week’s score with the judges, earning 12 points instead of 11, overall he still has the lowest average of all the teams, and his memory loss isn’t going to go away, meaning he likely won’t have much chance to improve his footwork on the floor as routines start getting longer and more complex. However, he likely will have a chance to stick around a little longer thanks to a passionate fan base—one even he and his partner didn’t know they had, as evidenced by their reactions to being the first ones called safe at the end of Week 2.
Another team who has scores that have yet to stand out is #TeamSweetandSpicey, a.k.a. Sean Spicer and Lindsay Arnold. While the former Press Secretary did improve with the judges, earning 16 points for his Tango, his footwork still isn’t as impressive. He does have a decent fan base however who may keep voting him through, provided they can combat the number of votes those who want him out of the competition cast for all of the other teams as a result. If they succeed, he won’t be gone just yet, giving him time to further improve on his technique.
The team that seems most likely to see their time on the competition come to an end is, surprisingly,#TeamRAVENous. Ray Lewis and Cheryl Burke were in the Bottom Two last week and saved by the judges, who had to choose between them and Mary Wilson and Brandon Armstrong. The new voting system allows fans to know who had the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes, but they don’t know any longer which team beat the other one out, meaning there is a chance the former NFL star should have been the first out. If he truly doesn’t have a fanbase voting for him, he won't stand a chance against the other celebs, who all have much stronger followings.
In addition, of the teams still in the competition, he has a lower average score overall, beating only Sean and Lamar, with five other teams all hitting the same average just above him. If that trend continues, it could be the perfect combination of low votes and low scores that brings him down.
“Dancing With the Stars” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
