Rehearsals saw Jade say that she didn't expect to get this far in the competition and that to make it through she'll push herself even more. Coming to her performance Judge Carrie Ann said she was beautiful, elegant, and very refined but commented that she would have liked more heat in the performance. She scored her a 9. Judge Len said he loved her and Val's chemistry and added that she had good speed and softness. He scored her a 9 as well. Judge Bruno said the dance was seductive, romantic, and had great legwork but said it needed more passion. Judge Derek said she has this joy that she brings to her dance and called it beautiful and authentic. Both of them scored her a 9 making her total 36 out of 40.

For the dance-off challenge, she was made to compete against JoJo Siwa and partner Jenna Johnson. The two had to do the Rumba to the song 'That’s The Way Love Goes' for the chance of winning 2 bonus points. This was judged by Carrie Ann Inaba. Jojo and Olivia both did the Rumba for the first time but Jojo emerged as the winner and bagged those two points.

The end of the night saw Jade be the first person to get eliminated effectively commencing her time on 'Dancing With The Stars'. The influencer although a great dancer was always at the receiving end of hate due to her scandal. But after her elimination, even those who didn't like her took to Twitter to acknowledge her dance skills. Here's what they had to say.

One of the tweets read, "Say what you want about Olivia but for someone with no dance background she always did great at her dances. #DWTS". Another fan commented, " I can’t believe how much I loved Olivia jade on #DWTS I’ll miss her so much". A viewer said, "Olivia jade should have been in the finale but y’all are too blind to see that #DWTS". 

One of the fans said, "Also, Olivia shouldn’t have gone home either. You can hate her but she CAN dance. #DWTS". Another tweet read, "Olivia was good and deserved to be in the finals just as much as a few others, but y'all just ain't ready to admit it yet. Like her or not she was GOOD. This is coming from someone who's not a fan and wanted her to go home week 1 just like everyone else. #DWTS @oliviajadee". A viewer commented, " we all know olivia shouldn’t have left yet, y’all just hate to admit it #DWTS".
