DWTS Shocker: Taylor Hanson Goes Home

In a surprising turn of events, Taylor Hanson became the fourth celebrity eliminated from Dancing with the Stars during week three. The Hanson frontman, alongside his professional partner Britt Stewart, received their highest score of the season but were ultimately sent home. This elimination occurred on an evening dedicated to classic yacht rock hits from the 1980s.

Leading the pack this week were Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn and her partner Pasha Pashkov, who tied for the top score. Their Foxtrot to Toto's "Hold the Line" earned them straight eights from the judges, marking the first eights of the season. Despite a minor rehearsal incident where Glenn accidentally gave Pashkov a bloody nose, their performance was lauded as "beautiful" and "poetic."

Fellow competitor Harry Shum Jr., paired with Jenna Johnson, also secured a top score with their jive to Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams Come True." Their dynamic performance earned them a trio of eights, tying Glenn's score. Other notable performances included Julia Styles and Ezra Sosa, Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik, and Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson, all vying for the mirrorball trophy.
