'DWTS' Predictions: Which Season 31 Pair Will Be Eliminated Week 2?
The competition has officially begun on Season 31 of "Dancing With the Stars," and one team has already hung up their dancing shoes and said goodbye to the competition. Now, with Week two's performances on the horizon, another team could soon find themselves leaving the show behind.
The second week of competition is set for the 15 remaining teams aiming to win the coveted Mirrorball trophy and occurs after the show's Disney+ premiere party also saw the end of Jason Lewis and Peta Murgatroyd's (#TeamSexandtheShimmy) run on the show. Now, the remaining pairs will be preparing their best Elvis-inspired routines and trying to prove to the judges that they deserve to still be in the competition.
Of course, some stars, like Charli D'Amelio and Mark Ballas, Wayne Brady and Witney Carson, Selma Blair and Sasha Farber, Shangela and Gleb Savchenko and Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy, who were the top scorers on the leader board of the show seem more likely to make it through night two as well. However, some other pairs seem more destined to say goodbye after just two weeks of competition. Three teams, in particular, seem to have fates that seem less certain when it comes to making it much further.
While the scores for their week two performances and the live viewer votes will be what ultimately decides the team's fates, there are definite signs which seem to suggest that one of these pairs may be cha-cha-cha'ing their way out of the ballroom.
After getting the worst score of the night for his Salsa, receiving only 17 out of 40 points, "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino and his partner, new pro dancer Koko Iwasaki (#TeamVinnyandKo) seem like they could not be long for the competition. The judges were not impressed with his moves on the dance floor, and if he doesn't improve greatly in Week 2, then his scores will likely continue to be low. However, despite having such lower scores and a pro that may not have the same following as the rest since she is new, Vinny will likely still make it through thanks to a strong fan base.
As for a team that may not have as strong of a fan base who scored lower, Sam Champion and Cheryl Brooke (#TeamThunderFromDownUnder) could be at risk. The "Good Morning America" and ABC-NY weatherman may need to pull out some more impressive footwork—and get his hips working—if he wants to impress the judges and viewers. Still, he still seems likely to make it through another week because of another team who doesn't appear to have the following.
Despite getting the same 20 points Sam did for his Foxtrot on their Tango, "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and Pasha Pashkov (#TeamPashabiliTRE) were the ones who ended up in the Bottom Two and have made it through to the next week because the judges chose to save them over Jason and Peta. If they don't improve considerably in Week 2 and don't have the support of fans behind them, they could be the next ones to say farewell.
"Dancing With the Stars" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on Disney+.
