‘Summer House’ Star Ciara Miller Eliminated During ‘Mariah Carey Night’ on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
“Dancing With the Stars” paid tribute to Mariah Carey this week — but it wasn’t “One Sweet Day” for another beloved couple.
“Summer House” star Ciara Miller and her professional partner, Brandon Armstrong, were shockingly eliminated at the end of Tuesday night’s episode after earning a score of 21/30 from the judges for their jazz routine to “Emotions.”
Just minutes after the elimination was announced on live television, Page Six caught up with Miller’s “Summer House” co-star Kyle Cooke at our Virtual Reali-Tea Awards in New York, where he reacted to the news in real time.
“Oh no. We all voted too,” he replied, with a shocked expression on his face. “(But) hey, she took it really seriously. She worked so hard. She showed me a little two-step while filming ‘Summer House,’ because the training started in August.”
“It makes me sad, but I mean, what an incredible opportunity,” he added. “I’m sure she did her best (tonight).”
At the end of Tuesday night’s show, co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro revealed that two other dancing couples — Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson and Jackson Olson and Emma Slater — were also at risk of going home.
Rodriguez and Carson’s Samba on “Obsessed” earned them the lowest total of the night, a 13/30, while Olson and Slater received a 21/30 for their waltz on “Without You.”
Meanwhile, “Glee” alum Harry Shum Jr. and partner Jenna Johnson’s Tango to “It’s Like That” (featuring Jermaine Dupri and Fatman Scoop) earned them a 24/30, while Paralympic gold medalist Ezra Frech and partner Daniella Karagach wowed with a 24/30 for their Rumba to “Anytime You Need a Friend.”
“Bachelor Nation” alum Tyler Cameron and his partner Sharna Burgess also earned an improved rating, a 21/30 this week, for their Foxtrot to “#Beautiful” (feat. Miguel).
Comedian Connor Wood and his partner Rylee Arnold’s rumba on “Touch My Body” gave them a 19/30.
Elsewhere in the episode, “Traitors” fan favorite Maura Higgins and partner Mark Ballas wowed with a 25/30 for their waltz to “If It’s Over,” earning them the highest score of the night.
“Save the Last Dance” actress Julia Stiles and her partner Ezra Sosa’s Viennese Waltz to “Vision of Love” earned them a 21/30, while “Step Up” actress Jenna Dewan and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy earned a 24/30 for their Rumba to “My All.”
“Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alumna Tatyana Ali and her Jan Ravnik Jazz routine to “Fantasy” received a 20/30, while Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn and partner Pasha Pashkov wowed with a 23/30 for their Rumba to “Hero.”
Earlier this season, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Conner Leavitt was sent home, followed by “Love Thy Nader” star Sarah Jane Nader, celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis and Hanson singer Taylor Hanson.
New episodes of “DWTS” air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and stream on Hulu the next day.
