‘Dancing with the Stars’ elimination predictions: These are the 2 celebs on the chopping block tonight, according to fans
“Dancing with the Stars” let its 13 celebrity contestants off the hook in the season 33 premiere episode last week, opting to send no one home right away. But host Alfonso Ribeiro revealed during the show that that reprieve would be brief. Because in the second episode of the season, tonight’s “Oscars Night,” there will be a double elimination. So who will those unlucky contestants be? Fans have been making their predictions in our predictions center since last week’s show, and those predictions have been combined to generate our official racetrack odds. Check out the complete odds here. And make or update your predictions here before tonight’s show starts airing.
Veteran actor Eric Roberts is the most likely celeb to be sent home with leading odds of 83/50 as of this writing. He got the lowest judges’ score during the season premiere, and since those scores will be added to tonight’s to help determine the elimination, he’s starting at a deficit. He revealed during his premiere night clip package that an injury from an accident affects his timing, and that was evidenced by a cha cha where he struggled to keep up with the choreography. Tonight he’ll perform a waltz, so perhaps being in hold with pro partner Britt Stewart will help guide him across the dance floor and boost him on the leaderboard.
The next most likely to be eliminated actually got a decent score last Tuesday: convicted felon Anna Delvey. She gets 13/5 odds of being sent home despite receiving a respectable 18 out of 30 from the judges for her debut cha cha. Her challenge will be getting fans to vote for her. She has more than a million followers on Instagram, sure, but her inclusion on “DWTS” is controversial, and she seems ambivalent about her participation too; being interviewed by co-host Julianne Hough after her routine, she mostly expressed relief about not having to perform that dance again.
If one or both of them escape elimination, Reginald VelJohnson should watch out. He ranks third with 10/3 odds of elimination. He got the second lowest score on premiere night, and he struggled to show his personality as well during a routine where he moved little. Fourth in line for elimination is model Brooks Nader with 20/1 odds. Like Delvey she scored 18 out of 30 from the judges; no matter who you are, being in the middle of the pack is dangerous since your fans might get complacent and not vote for you. Rounding out our top five is actress Tori Spelling. She got the third lowest score on premiere night and now gets 35/1 odds of an early ouster. So barring a huge surprise, the double elimination should be some combination of those five celebs. What do you think?
