'DWTS' Predictions: Which Season 31 Pairs Will Be Eliminated During Semi-Finals?
The quarterfinals brought 90s inspired music, costumes and flair to the ballroom on Season 31 of "Dancing With the Stars," as well as a double elimination which saw both Heidi D'Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev and Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki heading home one week shy of the semifinals. Now, with the field still standing at six teams, two other teams will find themselves coming up short of the Mirrorball with another double elimination before the season's final episode crowns a new Mirrorball Champion.
With teams pulling out some of their best routines yet throughout the night during 90s night, its clear that this season really could be anyone's to win, as each of the remaining teams has proven that they still belong in the competition, making the upcoming double elimination truly the hardest one to ever be seen on the show.
While Charli D'Amelio and Mark Ballas and Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy, who have the highest average scores and most 10s of the competition so far both seem likely to be safe going into the finals, the fates of the other teams don't seem as certain. While one team seems like they are most likely to be eliminated, when it comes to the other three remaining competitors, it could be anyone's night to be eliminated.
Despite never being in the Bottom Two, Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart (#TeamSign2Shine) could be at risk of elimination right before the finals. Of the remaining teams, they have one of the lowest average scores of 33.1 points when it comes to their individual routines. While they had their best night yet with a moving jazz performance that featured no music for a portion of the routine to give everyone a sense of what Daniel struggles with on a daily basis, earning 39 points, when compared to the rest of the remaining teams, they haven't performed as well. In addition, when it comes to potential fans and social media followers, Daniel has the smallest number by a wide margin. If he doesn't have as many votes coming in, there won't be anything to save him before the finals.
Also potentially at risk for the first time despite never landing at the bottom and having a large fanbase are Shangela and Gleb Savchenko (#TeamSheb). Despite never landing in the Bottom, and earning a perfect score on Halloween night, their average scores are just one point higher than Daniel's when it comes to individual routines, with a 34.1. With the other competitors all performing at a more consistent level that is higher and also having larger fan followings, it could put the Drag Queen superstar at risk for the first time.
Also not guaranteed safety any longer are Wayne Brady and Witney Carson (#TeamDoubledubs). While they have trended at the top all season with the judges, they have the lowest average of the three most consistent top-performing teams and have stumbled more than Charli and Gabby. Wayne also doesn't have quite as many fans as some of the other remaining competitors, which could also place him in jeopardy.
The only team that seems to be guaranteed to miss out on the finals is Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater, who have now landed in the Bottom three times and been saved by the judges each of those times. Of the remaining teams, they have the lowest average score, with 31.7 points, and being that they have landed in the bottom three times, they clearly don't have the same level of fan support and votes as the other five teams. With the double elimination, whoever is the team with the lowest combined total won't have a chance at the judges' save, but even if Trevor lands in that position again, it seems unlikely that he would be saved over any of the others. The times he landed at the Bottom had the judges choosing between him and Sam Champion, Jessie James Decker and Vinny Guadagnino—all of whom were performing less favorably with the judges, making their eliminations less surprising. With Trevor potentially landing in that position with people like Daniel, Wayne, Charli, Gabby and Shangela, it's unlikely a fourth save would come his way.
