Dancing With the Stars Eliminates 4th Celebrity Contestant Despite Giving "Best" Performance

On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, Taylor Hanson and pro Britt Stewart were eliminated from Dancing With the Stars after ranking among the lowest in week three of the competition.
The pair landed in the bottom three after scoring 18 for their foxtrot to "What a Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers, though judge Derek Hough praised the performance.
Joining Hanson and Stewart in the bottom three were Jackson Olson with Emma Slater and Guillermo Rodriguez with Witney Carson; the couple with lowest combined judges' scores and viewer votes faced elimination.
"This has been everything, this has been incredible," Hanson said after the results, while Stewart expressed gratitude: "I am so grateful that I now have you in my life."
Twelve couples remain in the running for the season 35 mirrorball trophy as Dancing With the Stars continues airing live Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.
