Who was eliminated on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) Season 31 Episode 6? Theme, perfect scores and more explored

Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) Season 31 aired a brand new episode on Tuesday, October 18, 2022, at 8 pm ET on Disney+. This week, the reality dance competition featured a two-night episode where the contestant-choreographer pairs danced to classic DWTS themed formats. Tonight’s theme was Prom Night, for which the cast pulled out their absolute best performances.

While some contestant-dancer pairs received perfect scores, Joseph Baena and pro Daniella Karagach failed to impress the judges and were thus eliminated from the competition. Only 10 couples now remain on the show and will have to put their best foot forward to keep themselves safe.

Hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Tyra Banks, DWTS has been extremely popular amongst viewers. Fans have already established their favorite contestants and can be seen rooting for them to win on social media platforms. The judging panel for the year includes Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough.

Joseph Baena and pro Daniella Karagach are eliminated from DWTS

Joseph and Daniella danced Cha cha to Shut Up and Dance by WALK THE MOON. While the judges were impressed by the performance, they also had some feedback to give. Len said that the duo were terrific and had good foot placements. Derek stated that Joseph needed to work on his legs as they weren't consistent.

Although Bruno confessed that Joseph had improved with his performance and that the judges could see the effort he puts in every week, Carie Ann maintained that his routine wasn't as good as the one last night. The pair were scored an equal eight by all four judges, bringing their total to a 32 out of 40.

By the end of the episode, the cast had to participate in a dance marathon where all 11 couples took to the dance floor at the same time, first dancing a hustle followed by a Lindy Hop. One at a time, the judges pointed out mistakes and removed each pair, while others who remained earned bonus points.

Jessie James Decker and Alan Bersten were finally crowned the winners of the marathon and earned the title of Prom Night King and Queen.

The judges' scores from Monday and Tuesday night were calculated alongside bonus points as well as votes from viewers back home. Joseph and Daniella were thus eliminated from the competition, leaving 10 pairs to fight for the title.
