The fourth week of Dancing With the Stars season 35 was all about Mariah Carey, as couples performed her hit songs like ‘Emotions’ and ‘Fantasy’ in a tribute to the legend. The night ended with a surprise elimination: Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong were sent home after scoring 21 out of 30 for their jazz routine. This marks the second consecutive week of a shocking exit, following Taylor Hanson’s elimination previously. Scores were high for some, with Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas earning the season’s first nine from judge Carrie Ann Inaba, totaling 25/30 for their waltz to ‘If It’s Over.’ Ezra Frech, Harry Shum Jr., and Jenna Dewan each scored 24/30, hitting personal bests. At the bottom, Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson struggled with a 13/30 for their samba. Other couples like Tyler Cameron and Julia Stiles tied at 21/30. Voting during the live East Coast broadcast determines eliminations, with viewers allowed up to 10 votes per couple. The show continues Tuesdays on ABC and Disney+, with next-day streaming on Hulu.
