Dancing With the Stars Season 35: Sarah Jane Nader Eliminated on Night 2
The competition saw a second elimination as Sarah Jane Nader and partner Hailey Bills departed the ballroom.
Sarah Jane Nader and her professional partner Hailey Bills were eliminated from the ballroom on the second night of "Dancing With the Stars" Season 35. The duo received a score of 14 out of 30 for their initial performance, leading to their departure from the competition.
This marks the second elimination of the season, following Conner Leavitt and Adele Zaikman, who were the first couple sent home after receiving a score of 12 out of 30 for their cha-cha. The double elimination in the first week is a departure from recent seasons, with the show having last eliminated contestants in Week 1 during Season 32.
Fans have expressed varied reactions online to the early eliminations, with some criticizing the decision as unfair while others see it as an engaging twist for the current season, which features an increased number of competing couples.
The competition will return to its regular schedule, with one night of performances per week, starting September 22.
