Who went home on Dancing With the Stars tonight?
Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong were the couple eliminated during Week 4. Their exit came despite earning their highest judges’ score of the season.
The pair performed a jazz routine to Mariah Carey’s “Emotions.” Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli each awarded the couple seven points, giving them a total of 21/30.
The result made the DWTS elimination tonight particularly surprising because Miller and Armstrong had shown improvement during the season and their Week 4 performance was their strongest score so far.
After the announcement, Miller thanked Armstrong for sharing the experience with her. Armstrong also expressed his disappointment, saying he had seen his partner improve from week to week.
Ciara Miller’s final Dancing With the Stars performance
Miller and Armstrong entered the ballroom for Week 4 with a jazz routine set to “Emotions,” one of Mariah Carey’s best-known songs.
The performance earned 21 points, putting them level with several other couples but leaving them vulnerable when the judges’ scores and viewer votes were combined to determine who would continue in the competition.
The elimination means Ciara Miller becomes the latest celebrity contestant to leave DWTS Season 35.
