LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'DWTS' fans were eagerly waiting for the Bond Night and the elimination that followed. 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 31 had its third elimination. Cheryl Ladd and Louis Van Amstel were sent home with the least votes and a total score of 24/40. Fans believe that Chery's performance was improving with each passing episode. Moreover, they believe that their votes were rigged.

'DWTS' Season 31 Bond Night is already trending all over social media. However, the most talked about performance of the hour is Cheryl's as the star is eliminated from the show. However, Cheryl's elimination seemed obvious this week to many fans as she was seen in the bottom two from the last two weeks. Cheryl managed to step up her performance for last week, but she still seemed to lack on various grounds. Cheryl and Louis did a rumba to 'Diamonds are Forever' by Shirley Bassey. Soon after her performance, judges appreciated Cheryl for her comeback and better performance compared to last week. However, Len Goodman believed that there was some "messing about" at the beginning of the performance. On the other hand, Carrie Ann commented that Cheryl seemed to have almost forgotten her choreography in the middle of her performance. 'DWTS' fans believe judges were too harsh on Cherly. Moreover, many fans slammed the show claiming that their votes were "rigged".

Cheryl fumbled numerous times while performing at Bond Night. Even though the star is not from a dancing background, she did her level best to chisel her performance. However, she failed to survive the show and got eliminated. Fans wonder how the star got the least vote when they were voting in abundance for her. One of the fans slammed the channel claiming, "Votes are seriously rigged. Cheryl is on the bottom again on the charts, and it seems our votes at home don’t count". Another commented in the thread, "Our votes don't matter on this rigged show. Pathetic." Moreover, a fan slammed judges saying that they skimped to give the score to the couple. "Yeahhh the judges definitely did Cheryl and Louie dirty with the scores, especially watching the other performances and the critique they are giving to the other dances. They deserved at least 7s across the board," wrote the fan.
