LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Seeing one of your favorite contestants get eliminated hurts, right? The same happened with 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 fans when they witnessed Joseph "Joe" Baena get eliminated at the Prom Night episode. The star's performance improved a lot from the previous episodes. Even the judges appreciated his dance in the recently released episode claiming he has "improved so much".

Joe managed to get a clean 8 from all four judges, therefore, scoring a total of 32/40. According to the leaderboard, the American actor was in the ninth position. Even though there were two other contestants, Daniel Durant and Vinny Guadagnino, below him, unfortunately it was Joe who got eliminated. The final result landed him in the bottom two along with Heidi D'Amelio. And, to everyone's surprise, three judges except Carrie Ann voted to save Heidi. Witnessing the shocking elimination, 'DWTS' fans lashed out at the judges as well as the show for eliminating Joe who was evidently making effort to improve his performance.

I can name 3 pairs that should’ve went home tonight instead of them". Another wrote, "Joseph shouldn’t have been eliminated! You can tell he was really improving and loved learning while dancing".

Another fan claimed that instead of Joe, Vinny or Trevor should have been eliminated. "Trevor should have gone home already... obviously Vinny has a huge fan base so that's why he's safe... I'm very sad that Joseph is leaving... he was doing so good..." Another wrote, "Vinny is the one that has the lowest scores but Joseph was sent home? I know people are upset about Jesse but she got extra points 11 to be exact . She and Alan did a really good give". Another fan tweeted, "@JoeBaenaOfcl didn’t deserve to go home tonight.
