‘Dancing With the Stars: Athletes’ Week Two Recap: Who Went Home?
It’s week two, and we’re already at the halfway point in Dancing With the Stars: Athletes‘ short season. This week, the eight remaining contestants had to learn two dances: an individual couple’s dance and a team dance. They tackled the challenge like the professional competitors they are, though — which made the double elimination at the end of the night all the more disappointing.
Read on to find out who went home, and check out the rest of the week two rankings below. (These rankings are based solely on scores from Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Rashad Jennings, but as DWTS fans know, eliminations are based on a combination of scores and votes, so don’t forget to vote for your favorite pair every week.)
