LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 33 couple Ilona Maher and her pro partner Alan Bersten have recently found themselves in an undeserving spot during Hair Metal Night. Since the season kicked off, their captivating performances have stood out but the latest scores disappointed the pair.

The night took a heartbreaking turn when Ilona was left in tears after landing in the bottom three couples during the shocking double-elimination round. It was a devastating moment, as she teetered on the edge of elimination. Thankfully, the outpouring of support from fans was enough to keep her in the competition, but it felt unfair to see such a talented dancer facing the chopping block.

The judges should have shifted their focus to Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko, who have struggled with messy choreography and missteps since the season began. Brooks and Gleb's continuous disastrous routines deserved the bottom spot.
