Some Dancing with the Stars fans are unhappy with the results of this week’s new episode, as pro Britt Stewart was eliminated alongside her celebrity partner Taylor Hanson. DWTS viewers pointed out that Stewart has been sent home early for several seasons now.
DWTS Fans React to Britt Stewart’s Elimination
During Tuesday night’s new episode of DWTS Season 35, Taylor Hanson and his partner Britt Stewart performed a foxtrot to “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers on Yacht Rock Night, earning a total score of 18 out of 30 from the judges. At the end of the show, the pair was sadly eliminated from the competition.
After the show, a fan posted their disappointment with the results on the show’s subreddit, writing of Stewart’s track record on the show, “Out of 7 seasons, she has had FIVE early exits and two semi-finals eliminations. I really thought that this season would’ve been her season and to actually make it to at least Halloween for once but I guess not.”
As of this writing, the thread has over 2,000 upvotes, with some fans agreeing. One user wrote that they’re “devastated” for Stewart, discouraging fellow fans from directing hate toward other couples such as Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson, who were at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Another user argued that the judges underscored Hanson and Stewart’s performance this week, adding that Hanson “was improving.” As they said, “There were at least 4 other contestants that should have been eliminated before these 2.”
Some DWTS fans on Reddit were less surprised by the elimination of Hanson and Stewart on Tuesday night. One user wrote that Stewart “struggles to connect with the Gen Z voters and that’s what’s hurting her.” Another fan agreed, writing, “She is very classy, not as silly, not as raw. She is incredible but it doesn’t hit on viral social media.”
Another fan argued that Stewart’s choreography for Hanson was “boring.” Someone else had a similar opinion, writing that her routines are “not memorable.” They added, “I never remember the dances.” Another user agreed, writing, “It doesn’t mean she’s not a good dancer because she is. Two things can be true.”
