Jenna Dewan and her professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy were eliminated from Dancing With the Stars on November 10, marking the end of their journey just before the semi-finals. The duo's jazz performance to Janet Jackson's "All for You" earned them 28 out of 30 points, and they also secured an extra two points in a dance battle. Despite these high scores, they became the last couple eliminated on the show's Grammy Night.
Host Julianne Hough expressed disbelief at Dewan's elimination, calling it "shocking." Chmerkovskiy had previously faced a suspension earlier in the season. Dewan reflected positively on her time on the show, emphasizing her joy in dancing and sharing the experience with her family, including fiancé Steve Kazee. Other contestants like Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson also delivered strong performances.
This elimination comes after previous goodbyes to notable contestants such as Ciara Miller, Tyler Cameron, and Julia Stiles. Dewan's partner, Ezra Sosa, spoke tearfully about their bond and the incredible experience, highlighting that they even got matching star tattoos to commemorate each dance they performed.
