The ballroom was buzzing on Tuesday night as Dancing with the Stars rolled into its 34th season’s “One-Hit Wonders Night.”
But instead of just glitter, gowns, and fancy footwork, the evening ended with a shocking double elimination that had fans storming social media.
Hilaria Baldwin Scrapes Through
At 41, Hilaria Baldwin, wife of actor Alec Baldwin, found herself teetering in the bottom three.
Many expected her to be sent home — but against the odds, she survived another week.
Her stay sparked outrage online, with fans venting over the decision.
One viewer fumed, “Whoever voted for Hilaria…I just want to talk.”
Another demanded, “GUYS. NO. HILARIA SHOULD’VE WENT, NOT BARON.”
Corey Feldman and Baron Davis Say Goodbye
While Hilaria lived to dance another day, Corey Feldman, 54, and former NBA star Baron Davis, 46, weren’t as lucky.
Both were eliminated after scoring lowest with the judges.
Corey expressed regret that his partner, Jenna Johnson, didn’t get the chance to shine longer, calling her “the queen from last year” who deserved better.
The Night’s Performances
Themed around one-hit wonders, the night’s soundtrack was filled with nostalgic bangers.
Couples showcased everything from the cha-cha and jive to the foxtrot and samba.
-
Hilaria & Gleb Savchenko danced a tango to Haddaway’s “What Is Love,” earning 21 points. Hilaria admitted balancing rehearsals with raising seven kids left her “exhausted,” but called the experience a dream.
-
Corey & Jenna danced a cha-cha to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back,” but only scored 15 before being eliminated.
-
Baron & Britt Stewart performed to 18 points before bowing out.
Alix Earle Brings the Energy
Social media star Alix Earle, 24, lit up the stage with Val Chmerkovskiy. Their jive to Lou Bega’s “Mambo No. 5” impressed the judges, earning 21 points. Carrie Ann Inaba praised her “freshness” and called the routine “incredible.”
Danielle Fishel Pushes Through the Pain
Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel, 44, performed a cha-cha despite a hamstring tear.
Dancing to Corona’s “The Rhythm of the Night,” she earned 19 points and plenty of respect for her resilience.
Other Standout Moments
-
Andy Richter danced the tango to “It’s Raining Men” and scored 16.

Lauren Jauregui performed a foxtrot to “Lovefool,” impressing with elegance and earning 21.

Olympian Jordan Chiles showed off her athletic energy with a jive to “She’s a Maniac,” scoring 22.

Chaos Behind the Scenes
While the cameras captured smiles and sparkle, insiders say the atmosphere backstage has been tense.
Reports claim some professional dancers are frustrated with “lazy” celebrity partners, and a recent dropout left producers scrambling for a replacement.
One insider didn’t hold back: “This season is a s**t show. Some stars just don’t seem committed.”
High Ratings, High Pressure
Despite the drama, the show remains a ratings powerhouse. Season 33’s finale drew over 6 million live viewers, with nearly 8 million tuning in across ABC, Disney+, Hulu, and digital platforms within a week.
That success puts pressure on ABC bosses to keep Season 34 just as exciting.
What’s Next?
With the competition tightening and fan reactions heating up, the spotlight is firmly on the remaining cast.
Can Hilaria prove the doubters wrong? Will another fan favorite be sent packing? One thing’s for sure: Dancing with the Stars isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
