Eliminated Fifth Harmony star drops best one-word reply on ‘DWTS’ since Anna Delvey’s fiery exit: ‘I’m so...’
With smooth moves and stellar performances, the competition on 'Dancing With the Stars' Season 34 is heating up. In week 3 of the dance competition, the contestants shook their legs to viral TikTok songs. While Whitney Leavitt once again managed to score the highest, the TikTok night of the dancing show was not without some heartbreak. Despite giving their best, at the end of the episode, a contestant was eliminated, shattering their dreams of grabbing the Mirrorball trophy.
The 'Fifth Harmony' alum Lauren Jauregui and her partner Brandon Armstrong were eliminated from 'Dancing With the Stars Season' 34 after their saucy Cha-Cha-Cha scored an average of 18 points. The singer had a whole moment with her partner Armstrong as they performed a cha-cha to her former band's hit 'Work From Home' featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Not only that, but her former bandmates also made an unexpected appearance on the show to show their support, making for a rare 'Fifth Harmony' reunion.
Despite tight competition and strong performances from other couples, the duo received the fewest votes and will not be moving forward in the season, as per ScreenRant. For Jauregui's performance, the judges also shared their encouraging thoughts. "I really like the way you move," Carrie Ann Inaba said.
She further added, "I want to see a lot more pop in your step… I want more dynamics. I want more of the life force to come out of you. ... Don't be afraid to hit it and quit it." Derek Hough added that while he looks forward to Jauregui's performances every week, she needs "more fire" for the Latin dances, as per People. "You have a wonderful lyrical quality," Bruno Tonioli told her. "Sometimes you have to hit and show the beat through your body like you would with your voice." However, when asked how she was feeling after getting eliminated, she responded with one word, “Pissed,” eliciting a laugh from her partner, Armstrong. “I’m so grateful to have had you as a partner,” she told him.
The moment brought to mind another unforgettable 'Dancing with the Stars' moment. Last year, after con-artist Anna Delvey's elimination, host Julianne Hough asked what she was taking away from the experience. Delvey’s blunt one-word response? “Nothing.” Afterwards, her dance partner, Ezra Sosa, told Extra that her curt farewell came as no surprise. “I knew she was going to say something very iconic and something very ‘Anna Delvey’ with her exit,” he said. “Of course she has to — it’s very typical. We would expect nothing less of her.” However, the professional dancer shared that Delvey apologized to him for ending his first season as a pro early.
